1. Lisa W.

“Lisa and her daughter took wonderful care of my anxious chihuahua! During Fin’s stay, they took her to the park and gave her so many snuggles! We will be booking with her again! 🩷🐾”




2. Kris G.

“Kris was AMAZING. She was so flexible, so knowledgeable and caring, and I could tell that she took the best care of Cookie! Cookie came home happily exhausted from playing at her home, and we will absolutely book a stay with Kris next time we’re in the area!!”


3. Allyson H.

“Allyson was a great sitter for our dogs Stevie and Hildy for an entire week stay. We contacted her last minute right before a holiday week and she willingly booked us and set up a quick meet and greet beforehand. Our dogs are good and tired which means they had a fun week! Allyson was great at communicating - sending daily updates and photos. Our dogs got a long great with her sweet dog and played together in her yard. She was also so graciously flexible as we had some back and forth changes in plans and pick up times after traveling. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend to others.”


4. Debra K.

“So happy I found Debra to care for my dog who is a bit timid and has a lot of quirks. Debra has a calm demeanor and shows patience and accepted my pup in her home as one of the family. She updates daily with photos and is available to chat if needed. Will book again!”


5. Lenore K.

“Lenore and Rook hosted Roscoe while I was away for new years. She provided lots of photos and updates to let me know that he was doing well and he seemed to be very happy when I picked him up. I would have Lenore watch Roscoe again in a heartbeat!”


6. Carol S.

“We are so happy to have found you Carol to take care of our baby. Roger had a great time with you and Keanu. Thank you for taking great care of Roger. And loved the pictures you sent out daily. Truly appreciated it. Will call on you soon to watch Roger again. Thank you so much.”


7. Cher C.

“Cher did an amazing job caring for our dog! We can't wait to book again in the future.”


8. Jordan R.

“I knew within moments after walking into Jordan's home with Maverick that he felt very comfortable and would be happy to spend time there. He is a Frenchie, and immediately his little tail was wagging as he explored the room and greeted Jordan. I received several pictures a day of his activities as he took walks with Bryan, slept in the bed in front of the sunny window, or snuggled on the couch. This stay with Jordan was great for Maverick and my peace of mind!!”


9. Michelle M.

“Michelle has been an exceptional sitter for our standard poodle. He enjoys daily park visits, swimming and lots of cuddles. It’s definitely a treat when our baby gets to stay with Michelle. Michelle is the kindest caretaker we have come across. She sends many pictures and videos to assure you that your baby is happy. We are return clients and happy for her services. She is reliable and flexible when emergencies arise. Thank you Michelle, you’re the BEST!!!”


10. Kelsey W.

“It's my first time using Rover, and I absolutely hit the jackpot! Kelsey made the whole experience so easy and relaxed. She took excellent care of my pup. Can't wait to do this again.”


11. Erin W.

“Erin did a wonderful job watching Cashew for a week while we were out of the country. She sent daily photos and videos of all their adventures and made sure we felt at ease. Cashew can be a bit of a handful so we’re so happy to find someone who takes such excellent care of her!”


12. Kelsey M.

“Most of us have a hard time leaving our dog kiddos behind when we have to leave town. Well - not if you’ve got Kelsey nearby ?. It was obvious from the start that he connected with our Lily and treated her like family. Photos, comments, questions while we were away kept us from missing her too much. And never worried for a moment…We highly recommend Kelsey (& his family when needed). Thank you Kelsey ??”


13. Rachel S.

“Rachel, her husband and Winter are the best second family we could ask for . Our girl was right at home and felt all the love and was so well taken care of. We will be booking again and again with this family.”


14. Leslie F.

“Nikki stayed 2 days with Leslie and was doing great, since she never been borded. It looked like she did not want to go home with me. Leslie was taking such great care of Nikki and I can highly recommend her.”




15. Trevor & Karen H.

“Trevor and Karen came through for us when our dog sitter fell through close to our trip date. They provided our Cavalier a sweet space to stay with plenty of attention and kept us in the loop with photos and updates. We really appreciated all of the effort and communication!”


16. Chelsea J.

“My dog Oly is a sketchy dog but she was happy under Chelsea's care. She had some playmate, it felt like I was dropping my child off at the daycare. Ready to play! Chelsea clipped Oly's nail for me too. Thanks for the extra attention.”


17. Autumn J.


“Autumn went above and beyond to make our first experince away from our little guy as pleasant and easy as possible. She provided us pictures the whole time she was watching him and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Highly recommended!”


18. Virginia E.

“Wow! This was my first Rover.com experience and it couldn't have gone any better! Virginia and family treated my elderly pup, Kipper, like one of their own. He came back worn out, needing a nap and lolling his tongue, as if he'd just returned from a highly satisfying trip to Disneyland. I strongly recommend Virginia for your boarding needs. She paid attention when we explained Kipper's idiosyncrasies, was flexible on pickup and drop-off timing, and obviously played Dog Mom as well as Kipper's own could!”


19. Laurel J.

“Laurel did a great job with my pup Josie. She did an excellent job communicating leading up to and during her stay, keeping me informed with pictures and texts.”


20. Melissa & Ryan W.

“Melissa, Ryan and family take very good care of my schnauzer. This is my second time leaving her there and they were delightful to deal with. They seemed to treat her as their own (and they do have 2 other dogs). My dog is young but doesn’t play with other dogs, and she tells other dogs exactly that. They got along very well. Would be happy to leave my dog there again.”
