“Yizi is Amazing and is very loving. We love her and Yizi is now part of Meeko’s Tribe. We are so grateful for the True Love and support we have received from Yizi, one of the best caregivers found on Rover. We can’t speak highly enough of Yizi and as long as she’ll have us we will always rebook. Thank you for all the photos and updates.”


“Tyler was great, and very responsive and committed with sitting for our George! Sent daily pics, and informed us of other dogs that would be at his place the same time. We hope to work with him again the next time.”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“My dog has an absolute blast every time with Zwany and Leandro! She got a bath this time and came back smelling amazing. I can tell my dog is perfectly at home at their house, and she gets so excited to come back each time. Zwany also does an amazing job of sending pictures and updates, so I know my dog is doing well.”


“Angela took such great care of my pup Gilly! She was super responsive and sent consistent updates throughout the day. In every photo I could tell that Gilly was comfortable and having a great time. Would definitely trust Angela to watch Gilly again!”

“Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!”


“We really appreciated how timely Victoria was on all communication, making us feel at ease about our pup. Victoria sent plenty of photos (which I loved!) and it was clear she gave Maddie lots of love and attention. Maddie had a great first stay.”


“Kwangwoo was great with Bentley! Super communicative, easy to find times for pick up and drop off. He also sent some fun pictures and kept us updated of Bentley's day. Everything was packed up and ready to go when we came to pick up Bentley! Would definitely recommend and work with Kwangwoo again”


“Peter was an amazing sitter! He was super accommodating and responsive, and even went out of his way to make sure our plans still worked out when he was dealing with the crazy airline IT outage. We would highly recommend him and plan to contact him again for future stays!”


“I had such a great experience with Anna taking care of Miso over the past few days. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful throughout, asking questions like whether Miso was okay riding in the car or meeting other dogs, which really showed how much she cared about making Miso comfortable. Anna and her husband seemed like genuine dog lovers, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Miso was in such kind hands. What I loved the most was how often she took Miso out for long walks—several times a day! Miso came back happy and well-exercised. I have only great things to say about Anna, and I would absolutely trust her to care for Miso again. Highly recommend!”


“Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!”


“Rebecca provided the sweetest, most consistent updates while watching our dog Jib! She gave all of the exercise, attention, and love that we give her and we could not ask for a better sitter.”


“Nalix is amazing with our dog Charcoal, who is usually very sensitive and has separation anxiety. We trust her completely and Nalix sends regular photos and videos in which Charcoal is having the best time. Nalix is always communicative and willing to be flexible if we are running late from delayed flights or traffic. We recommend Nalix wholeheartedly!”


“Laura was amazing with our one year-old black lab. She took him on walks and to the dog park every day. She sent us so many wonderful pictures and looked like Oakley was having the time of his life. We enjoyed our vacation and think Oakley had an even better time staying at Laura‘s house!😀”


“I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Rita was absolutely perfect! She was exceptional with my dog, creating a truly special bond with him from the very beginning. It was clear that Tibet became very attached to her, and that made all the difference for me. I really appreciated her flexibility, her thoughtful daily updates, and the wonderful photos she shared, all delivered with a warm, friendly, and natural attitude that made everything feel easy and reassuring. I certainly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a truly outstanding dog sitter. She’s not just good, she’s the kind of person every dog (and dog owner) hopes to find!”


“Svetlana and her family were amazing with Cornelius. Normally, I get nervous leaving Cornelius for my trips, but she checked in with me everyday, brought him on errands, and send me pics of him happy and healthy daily. I will definitely book again!!!”


“Courtney took great care of my dog when I was away for a weekend. I have never left him overnight with anyone before and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. I would definitely use her again in the future.”


“Our dog sitter backed out at the last minute so I went on Rover just two days before our trip. I read the reviews about Ruya and can attest that they're all accurate. Ruya was fantastic! She responded immediately Once I met her I felt great leaving our dog with them. She was so kind, treated our dog well and sent pictures each day. Our dog didn't want to come home! Will be certain to use Ruya again.”


“Anastasia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Bella. She asked the right questions, communicated effectively and we could tell Bella had a great time :) Thank you again!”
