“Maellen was extremely patient and understanding with Odi and helped me feel at ease leaving him in someone elses home for the first time! She sent lots of photos and clearly gave him lots of love :)”


“Patrick and Claudette were GREAT. We had to adjust our itinerary twice because of plane delays ... and they readily obliged without any issues. Loved the videos they took of our pups interacting with themselves and others.”


“I appreciate the love and care Aurelie gave my dogs while they stayed at her home. Her home was spacious and provided plenty of room to play for my dogs to run in and outside. They also enjoyed some walks. I got plenty of updates and photos/videos during their stay. My dogs enjoyed their time there. In the future I’d be happy to book with Aurelie again.”


“Holly and Robert took excellent care of Bailey and we really appreciated their flexibility with drop off and pick up times. They also provided updates on how she adjusted to her new environment. We will use them again in the future.”


“It’s difficult feeling comfortable leaving our older dog for a longer trip, but Gene helps make it feel easy! We appreciate the care she puts into her time with our dog.”


“Rosalia and her partner took great care of our puppy. She would send us updates and pics everyday. My pup was very comfortable with them and they him all the love they could. I would recommend them anytime.”

“Kai's place was perfect for our small dogs, who both loved relaxing inside or hanging out in the yard. We really loved how Kai took the extra effort to make our two shy dogs comfortable. Kai was super communicative and sent a ton of cute photos during our trip. Would definitely rebook!”


“Samantha was awesome! This was our first time leaving our pup with someone on Rover, and it couldn't have gone better. Samantha's dog Mona got along great with Noodles, and we received a bunch of pictures assuring us that our little girl was happy as ever. We weren't able to pick Noodles up as scheduled due to some extreme weather, but Samantha and her husband we're totally understanding and everything worked out great. Will be contacting Samantha if we ever need a sitter in the area again! Thanks so much!!”


“Max always gets so excited to go to Chad‘s house. It’s like we’re going to visit his doggy family. Chad is very careful in picking the other dogs that he watches so Max has always had a good experience if another dog is there”



“Debbie was the perfect sitter for my dog. She was very responsive from inquiry and meet and greet to booking through boarding and pickup. She treated My dog like one of her own. My dog who is normally nervous when meeting new people and dogs took right to Debbie and her dogs. Whether looking for boarding or just day care I would recommend her. I will be using her services in the future. Thanks Debbie for taking care of BeBe!”


“I just moved to the area and Rita was very welcoming to Java and I. Java was very comfortable and Rita was able to give her plenty of individual attention and her own space away from the other pups when she was feeling anxious. I got daily updates and never felt worried that Java was not being loved or cared for.”


“Jenny is the best! She has two pups that are super friendly & welcoming of other dogs and she was was super flexible when I was running late. Highly recommend”


“Alireza and his wife were so kind on our initial visit. Our dogs met at their home and I knew Aly would be well cared for. Alireza sent daily photos and updates. Although I wasn’t home for many days after he watched her, Aly was home safely and happy when he ended caring for her. I would rebook with Alireza if Aly needed care in the future and would suggest you do to! Thanks!”


“Arman is like an extension of your family. He cared for my dog Bentley like he was his own dog. Took him for several walks, visits to see my daughter, cuddles in the couch and even a grooming appointment. He was SO extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Arman to anyone who needs pet sitting or care. 5 Stars!”


“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”


“Holly was very kind and communicated well from the start. Her home was very accommodating and met all of Dukes needs. She sent updates daily on him which was appreciated.”


“We traditionally have used canine country club in the past, however we were in a bind because our 7 month old golden retriever is not spayed (vet recommended to wait a year). My sister recommended Rover (new to us). We found Erich and he seemed to be a fit. It was a confirmed win from the introduction! Erich (and Louie) were calm, fun, interesting, engaging and welcoming! Erich has a very special skill training dogs/puppies that provide immediate results. We could tell he cared deeply for his dog Louie and bestowed that love on our puppy as well. Our Golden stayed overnight with them and was happy, healthy, and far better behaved when we picked her up than when she was dropped off. A huge thank you to Erich and Louie for giving Montana your time, skill, love and attention!”

Sandia Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
Holly is THE best - she was so loving with our three dogs while we went to our daughter’s college graduation. No small task - as all three are different sizes, have different needs, and two are seniors. She handled it all like a champ and our dogs were so well taken care of. She also sent updates along the way and took them for walks - but most importantly she made sure they were comfortable and loved! We will be using Holly again!

Mira was so amazing with Frog. She was consistent with updates and photos so I felt confident that Frog was in the best hands. He had so much fun playing with Mira’s pets so I know he had a great time with them. Highly recommend, will be repeat clients for sure!
