“Liz & Rodrigo are incredible people, with an incredible family full of love to give! We were a bit nervous having someone board our newly adopted rescue Beagle, but they did an amazing job! They sent so many updates and photos while I was gone, I never once had to worry how they were doing! They were both accommodating of both our pup’s needs and I can tell our pups would love to go back whenever we need a sitter!”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Nathaniel was awesome and my dog was so happy with him. He took my dog hiking, swimming and outdoor events. Thanks for being so affordable yet a high quality dog sitter 🙏. He also sent us many pics and updates.”
“Buckley's stay with Lissette was great! Lissette was super responsive and kept us updated with lots of pictures of Bucket, who came home tired and happy. Will definitely stay again!”
“Sophia was wonderful! Her dog Pluto is so sweet. She did a great job communicating with us and making sure our dog was comfortable. We would trust her again.”
“Kaitlyn was so good with my pup, Franklin! Her communication was quick and she was so great with sending me pictures. Will be trusting her again with my dog soon!”
“I boarded my dog for 2 weeks. Kwangwoo was very professional to work with and treated Chiffon very well. Chiffon is a picky eater, and he went out of the way to hand-feed her on her first night when she was too stressed to eat. Thanks a lot!”
“It was a pleasure working with Zwany and Leandro. They were very considerate and professional. They asked all the right questions before watching Jane. Jane enjoyed her stay. She took to them and their dog straight away. Jane is a bit standoffish sometimes. We got regular updates and pictures. Very nice people. I would feel very comfortable having them watch Jane in the future.”
“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”
“Melodi is amazing! My 7-month-old Mini Aussie came back home so happy after spending 5 days at Melodi's. She is super flexible, communication with her is super easy and she definitely knows how to take care of our little friends! This was the first time I was leaving him and she made sure I had regular updates and send a ton of pictures - I really appreciated it. I will recommend her a lot and will definitely use her services again! Thank you Melodi!”
“Michelle was fantastic! We were lucky she was available to take care of our dog for an extended weekend. Tito came back home a happy pup! We would happily book again.”
“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”
“John did an amazing job watching my dog LD! He took care of her for 9 nights 10 days while we were on vacation. He provided daily updates and I never worried or wondered what she was up to. My dog has separation anxiety and blues and John dealt with it by adjusting to what she was comfortable with regarding feeding schedule and going outside. He is a very trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again John!”
“Yang took care of our son‘s cat during a recent wedding weekend. She was easy to communicate with, kind, flexible and helpful when we needed to make some timeline adjustments, and took excellent care of our pet. We will definitely turn to her again if we need to board my son’s cat in the future. Five stars and many thumbs up!”
“Ilya was the best dog sitter we could ask for! He was very understanding on how particular our dog is and accommodated well to our dog’s special needs. He also gave us frequent updates on how our dog was doing, which was very much appreciated! We could not recommend him enough and are very much satisfied with his attentive care! Thank you very much Ilya!”

Booking with Kelsey was a 10/10 experience! This was our first time using rover, so we were hesitant/apprehensive about it. However, Kelsey made the entire process seamless and alleviated any worries we ever could have had! I most appreciated how responsive she was to messages. Our pup came home tired, but in a great mood-all good signs of quality care:) Will try to book again if/when we are ever out of town and need a sitter!
Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.
Linda is fantastic!! She took very good care of our dog Nellie, and was very attentive to all of her needs. We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter who goes out of her way to make your dog as comfortable and happy as possible. She is a great communicator sending us daily updates and photos. Thank you Linda we appreciate everything that you did for Nellie!!
