“Natasha was incredibly attentive to our 8 month old pup and communicated regular updates! I appreciated that she asked how frequently we wanted updates to help set expectations upfront. She made sure our pup was not just well taken care of but engaged and exercised regularly, plus she kept up with training which was a bonus. We even went through travel delays getting home and she was flexible to accommodate the extra time, it was great knowing our dog was taken care of and didn't add to the stress of travel. We would absolutely use Natasha again.”

“This was Willow’s second time staying with Araceli, and when I picked her up, she didn’t want to come home! Araceli is the best, her manner with pups and her joyfulness with being a sitter is what makes me effortlessly comfortable to leave my Willow with her. Willow loves her “Tia” and she’ll be back!”

“Mihaela is our favorite sitter we have found on rover. She is so sweet and takes such good care of our Ollie. She also sends the best updates. Thank you for all that you do Mihaela!”

“Jocy took great care of our Maddie and sent us plenty of photos and videos even though Maddie was staying for just a single afternoon/evening, and she made sure all of Maddie's needs were fulfilled! Thank you very much Jocy!”


“Whitney was great, very communicative. I received lots of pictures of my little one out on walks and having fun. Absolutely wonderful and professional. Would recommend and will return!”

“Genevieve was, as always, a fantastic sitter. We had an emergency and having such a trusted sitter for our dog took such a stress off our shoulders. She sent great pictures and updates, and Charlie had an amazing time playing with Willow and snuggling Genevieve and her husband. Thank you so much and we’ll 1000% book again!”

“We’ve used Jason several times and he always does a great job with our boy Eli. He sends updates frequently and is always flexible if we need to shift times based on our travels. We know Eli is well taken care of while we are away. Definitely recommend Jason!”

“Kylie was amazing!! Super responsive and always willing to show us how our girl was settling in!! She also was very generous with her flexibility when it came to one of our flights getting delayed. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!”

“Hana sent frequent videos and pictures of Casey while we were away, and he was obviously having fun. She seems to be always available, so I have come to depend on her!”

“Alex took excellent care of my dog, Donna. He was very communicative and flexible. I would definitly book him again next time Im in the area. Thanks, Alex-you rock! Mark”

“Bryan was awesome! We needed someone to watch our little guy while we traveled for ten days. Bryan is very kind and definitely knowledgeable about dogs. We got photo updates almost every day and our pup was clearly having a great time! Thanks again, Bryan!”


“A Huge Thank you to Shelby and her family for taking care of my dog Bekka. She responded and excepted my very last minute request to board Bekka within minutes. This is my second time having Shelby dog sit Bekka and just like last time I’m very happy with the way she communicated throughout the stay during drop-off, play time, walks and pick-up. Bekka was so excited to be staying with Shelby again, if you’re looking for someone you can trust and your pets will love I highly recommend!!”

“Holly was wonderful, sending me photos of Freckles and updates. He seemed like he had a great time and I would definitely recommend her to others. Thank you for taking such great care of Freckles!”

“Our dog had fun & was well cared for by Alyssa. Our dog was able to run around outside in a nice, secured backyard and sleep inside at night. This is a special treat for our dog, since we don’t have a secured backyard. We highly recommend Alyssa.”

“Our dog Lula had a great time during his boarding stay with Shyrah! She was very communicative and provided photos and updates throughout the booking. Would recommend!”

“Melanie is such a kind and loving petsitter--and her longtime experience caring for senior dogs is such a huge benefit, too--she's given me great tips on things like how to get my dog to take his medicine and suggestions about how to help his mobility.”

“We are so thankful to Xochitl for taking such amazing care of Fluffy during his 5-day boarding stay while we were out of town. Knowing Fluffy was in such loving, patient, and trustworthy hands gave us so much peace of mind. Xochitl treated him like family, making sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for every day. Fluffy also had so much fun playing with the other puppies, which made his stay even more enjoyable. When we came back, he was relaxed, healthy, and clearly happy, showing how much he enjoyed his time with her. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave him and highly recommend Xochitl to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”

“I felt super comfortable leaving my Piper with David . He has a easy and calm way about him. He helped my nervous lil pup through her separation anxiety, and they became fast friends. This is the first trip I have used Rover to find a play date for my pup while going to a wedding, and visiting with family. I am loving the River community!”

“Benjamin was absolutely the best! He was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. Our baby Salem adored him and loved having a new furry best friend to play with. We always felt she was safe and cared for, and we appreciated the thoughtful updates along the way. When we’re back, we’ll definitely book with Benjamin again and recommend him to all our friends with furry babies. Thank you, Benjamin, for being so wonderful and for accommodating us on such short notice!”

Dice did an amazing job caring for Finnley and Max while I was away. Neither of them was feeling well, so I was nervous about leaving them, but she was attentive, compassionate, and made sure they were comfortable and well cared for. Her updates gave me peace of mind, and I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I would absolutely recommend Dice!

I have a great experience with Jordan, she sittered my dog for almost three weeks while I was traveling abroad. She walked my dog every day and patiently fed and played with it. My dog is very old and nedds some special care, Jordan did with much efforts. I highly recommed to contack Joran if you have a dog sitting need, for me, I am sure I will have Jordan to take care of my dog next time.

Amalia and her family take care of my pup as if she was one of their own. I received a photo of my pup giving Amalia kisses while I was away- the photo is proof positive that my pup loves her and staying with her! She rarely shows such affection toward humans other than myself! Thank you for Amalia and family for easing my stress of being away from my pup knowing she's receiving great love and care from you!

We had a wonderful experience with David as Oreo’s dog sitter! Oreo stayed with him for two days, and we felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and well cared for. David did a great job keeping Oreo safely separated from the other three dogs in his housr, which gave us peace of mind. He also kept us updated every day with pictures, which we really appreciated while we were away. We brought Oreo home happy and safe with no issues at all. Thank you, David, for taking such great care of our girl! We would definitely trust you with Oreo again. 🐶❤️

100% recommend booking Molly. She watched our dog in her home for three nights and I felt like Paddy was in a safe, comfortable and happy place. She is clearly an animal lover. We had some specific requirements about our dogs interactions with others and Molly followed them perfectly, which I hugely appreciate.

Genevieve has been absolutely incredible with Teddy! I had a lot of worries with dropping her off while I was in the middle of a move and wedding and she calmed all these fears by adapting to Teddy’s schedule, taking Teddy on fun adventures, and loving her like one of her own dogs. My dog was able to make herself right at home. I also appreciated the frequent updates, pictures, and check ins that she provided while I was away from my phone. Highly recommend!! ♥️✨ will be rebooking for future.

Ilsa is amazing! She took wonderful care of our young puppy! She provided photos and videos throughout the time she had him and also made sure he was safely exposed to so many different things while we were away. Even with a last minute flight delay, she added an extra night for us and was so understanding and flexible. We will definitely rebook with her for our future boarding needs. Thank you Ilsa!!

Ramona was incredible with my elder poodle, Lola. She gave great updates and really understood the care needed for her, being Lola’s specific diet or her separation anxiety, or any of her other quirks that required extra measures or attention. I felt so at ease on my long trip knowing that she was is such great hands. 11/10 A+++ would definitely book with her again! Can’t say enough. Ty again for everything, Ramona!!
We had such a great experience with Sofia! She was absolutely awesome with our energetic dog and took such great care of him. She took him to the dog park, gave him lots of love and attention, and made him feel right at home. We could tell he was happy and well cared for while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We loved our experience and would definitely rebook with her if we’re ever in the area again and need a dog sitter! Highly recommend! 🐾❤️

Second time using Kylie and Anthony! We had some issues with our flight back home and they were very communicative and accommodating! We had no doubt that our pups were loved and cared for while we were gone! I’d highly recommend Kylie and Anthony and we will definitely be back the next time we need our dogs boarded!

Tom was wonderful with my dog. I've never seen her so happy and comfortable around someone else. You can tell he genuinely cares about your pet, going out of his way to ensure they receive the best care and respecting their routine and specific needs. Thanks for a stress-free pet sitting experience and for giving my dog a second home to call her own while I was away!
