“Christina and family was great with Fiona. She sent me pictures and said Fiona was great with the kids and her pets. Christina bathed her the night before I picked her up. She mentioned Fiona was itching and I believe she has allergies. I had changed her food and that could be the cause. I told her I will definitely use her on my next trip.”

“I’m so happy to have found such an amazing sitter for my pup! 🐾 Raya had the best time – from playtime to cuddles – and I could tell she was treated like family. It's a relief to know that she is in such good hands when I'm away. Trustworthy, kind, and loving – highly recommend Shoshanna! 🐶💖”
“Pam was absolutely wonderful and took the best care of our 11-year old Frenchie. She was so loving and kind, and was so patient with her as she’s not the easiest dog! She was great at communicating and sending us updates and photos. Absolutely recommend Pam and her wonderful family and we hope to book again with her in the future!”
“Amy had a wonderful stay. She was well taken care of and happy when I picked her up. During her stay I received several communication and pictures. I really enjoyed the pictures.

“As first time rover.com users, my wife and I were nervous about leaving our dog with a stranger, but Amanda made us comfortable enough to try it out. We did a meet and greet with her and her dogs and booked a 5 night stay. Amanda was great. She kept in touch with us and let us know out our dog was doing everyday. He got lots of play time with her dogs and seemed very happy when we picked him up. Should we need a sitter again, we'd have no problem using Amanda again and would recommend her fully to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous but we couldn’t be happier with Michella! She took care of our baby like he was her own. Very quick to communicate and actively sent us pics and updates throughout our boy’s stay which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will use again! Thanks again, Michella!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Marlen provided for our dog, Marshmallow. From the moment they met, it was clear she had a natural connection with animals. Marlen treated Marshmallow like part of her own family, giving him plenty of love, attention, and exercise. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Marshmallow was relaxed, happy, and completely comfortable in her care. Marlen went above and beyond. We’re incredibly grateful for the time and care Marlen gave to our pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again or recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and reliable dog sitter. Thank you, Marlen! Let me know if you’d like a more formal, humorous, or shorter version!”

Patrick was awesome for taking Whiskey last minute. I am a nervous fur baby mom. So I like a lot of pictures and updates, Patrick did communicate everyday, but sometimes later in the day. He has a sweet fur baby that Whiskey loved playing with. Patrick was very sweet and playful with my high energy Bel Mal.
