“I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.”
“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”
“Hilary did a great job with Miles! She is responsive, flexible, and genuinely cares about dogs. Miles can be a handful, at times, but she handled him like a pro. Don't hesitate to reach out to her! ”
“The best sitting experience! I have had great experiences with Rover.com buy Matt and Cooper were the best by far. Cash is on the mind and we have Matt to thank for that. Happy holiday!”
“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”
“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”
“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Raye is the best! She was very responsive and kept me frequently updated. She took Hugo everywhere, the park, drive in cinema, on a hike. I think now I’ll have to level up my play game. Also, she was pretty flexible, my flight was canceled and that was very helpful.”
“Great hosts! They were very accommodating and had a lovely home for Eddie. I also really appreciated the check in photos and videos to see that my dog was happy and safe. I will definitely book with them again”
“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”
“We were worried chewy wouldn’t want to come home! Ava and Ross are definitely dog whisperers. He had a great time and they sent lots of good photos. We felt he was in safe hands.”
“Donetta and her service were great. Booked over a holiday weekend short notice and all went very well. She and her pups were great companions to my dog Frida. All were very friendly. Donetta provided great care and daily communications with photos!. Easy drop-off and pick-up. Recommend and will be using again for sure!”
“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”
“Amy always takes such amazing care of Lola for us. She sends us daily updates and is very flexible with drop off and pick up. We know Lola is in great hands whenever she goes there and appreciate the peace of mind Amy provides us.”
“Jonathan came through for a last minute request. Although I didn’t tell him that this was my first time away from my puppy, he treated me like he knew. His communication was great and the videos of my puppy came at the right times. His personal dogs are absolutely wonderful and showed my puppy love. I recommend him without reservation and will use him again when I’m in the area.”
“Nadia was available last minute to take in my fur baby & kept great communication throughout my animal’s stay. My pup enjoyed being around the other animals & having room to roam. I felt extremely comfortable she was able to give me updates & answer any questions I had in a timely manner. I have already rebooked! ☺️💕”
“Carolina was amazing! She just watched my dog for the first time over a long weekend. I usually am hesitant leaving her with new people but she sent me plenty of updates right away and continued them throughout the stay. She walked them a ton, took them to run in a little park and gave Hazy even a nail trim because he nail was getting caught. I have nothing but good things to say and will be booking again for sure!”
“I feel so confident taking my older dogs to Emily. I know she'll give them lots of love and make sure they're comfortable and content. So happy to have found her!”

Jakiya is fantastic. I contacted her last minute as I needed medical testing and had to find someone to watch Moose in case I had to be admitted for surgery after testing. She immediately responded and has been so patient and understanding, allowing me to focus on the medical issues. It doesn't get any better than this.
Stacey was great with our dog! She was very attentive during our meet and greet to learn more about him and that continued on throughout his stay with her. She was quick with updates, sent pictures, and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!
Ginat is absolutely incredible! We were away for 10 days and felt completely at ease knowing JJ was in her care. JJ usually takes a few days to settle into new environments, but Ginat managed to get him comfortable and happy by the very first day, which is a huge testament to her skills. She kept us updated constantly with photos and messages, and I loved knowing he was getting multiple walks and plenty of playtime. JJ truly loved being at her house. If you're looking for someone attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring, I cannot recommend Ginat enough!"
Donetta is a very professional and caring pet person, she understands pets and the needs of the clients. We were updated with pictures and information on how our pet was doing. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know that’s looking for an excellent pet setter. Thank you again Donetta.
Ross and Ava were amazing care givers to my 2 large breed dogs. They handled anxiety issues on the first couple of days of my pups 9 overnight stays with kindness, care and immediate communication with me and allowed for solutions to be attempted instead of throwing in the towel. I am truly grateful for them and their daily follow up along with photos of their walks and cuddle moments.
I really wanted to leave a good review but I would be very careful booking her. I ignored the previous 1 star review that she got to be unbiased, but she does not care for good customer service. She got away with up charging me and won’t refund me for the extra day that she did not service my pet since I paid her outside of Rover. She cut off communication after I politely asked for a refund, which she agreed that she would, and then never did.
Chris was a phenomenal dog sitter and can’t mention enough just how great of a job he did watching Pepper. He walked her multiple times a day and they were nice long walks too. He also was extremely attentive and made sure understand everything I told him about Pepper. He’s also super accommodating and played tug with her plus let her on furniture. He’s also extremely responsive and quick with his responses too. Overall if you ever need a dog sitter Chris is your guy and I definitely plan on booking with him again in the future. You can be at ease knowing Chris is watching your dog.
This was the first time I’ve left my pup at anyone else’s house, and Callie was so wonderful! She was communicative throughout the week, and I was completely as ease with being away. My guy had the best time running around her yard. He usually has anxiety when I’m out of town and doesn’t eat when I have friends stop in to feed him, but Callie had him eating regularly without issue. I highly recommend her as a sitter and will gladly book again in the future!
