“Took fantastic care of Mimi! Mimi can be an anxious dog but she warmed up to Kelly real quick🩷. The frequent updates kept us reassured during our trip that she is in great hands.”


“Ethan really filled in in a pinch for us when our sitter situation didn’t work out less than 12 hours beforehand. Super responsive, and having a really awesome setup and really thoughtful care, I’d highly recommend Ethan!”

“Mariana was a great sitter for our pups. She was very transparent in making sure it was OK if she had other dogs at the house. She was very thorough and made me feel like she really cared for the boys. She sent tons of pictures which were great! They came home happy and sleepy! :)”

“Alyssa was very dependable, caring & made sure to update us on our kitties progress. Our cat is very shy & scared but managed to warm up to Alyssa & cuddle with her. Told us a lot & would definitely recommend her & trust her again for our scaredy cat! She is a gem!!”

“Jennifer was great! She is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. My pup had some unexpected problems adjusting to being away from us for an extended period of time and she was very understanding and kind. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and loving sitter.”

“Gisella was amazing at responding to my last minute message to watch my Frenchy Mochi. She did an amazing job updating me throughout my shift his activities and with any questions she had. She also sent lovely photos. I would use Gisella again. 😊”

“Took excellent care of our active young dog. Sent photos and videos daily. He definitely had a good time playing with her dogs! Thank you for all your help while we were away!”

“Dylan was a great communicator and kept us updated with pictures during our pups stay. Nice yard dogs to run around. I’d be happy to leave Eve with him again 🙂”

“Amanda did awesome caring for our Boston Terrier, Moses. She sent photo updates regularly and even let him sleep with them in the bed after I let her know how much he loves to snuggle and be close to humans! I feel like she knows what she is doing as she cares for all the dogs needs that are in her care! I recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their pup and I will definitely be calling again to board, Moses. (probably towards the end of March) :)”


“We had a fantastic experience with Dina and Irma! They took care of our dog Winston for a week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We received daily updates with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Winston looked happy, relaxed, and clearly had a lot of fun. It was obvious he was in good hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”

“Van took great care of Mav during his stay. Response time was very quick and communication was clear. I received updates throughout his visit with plenty of pictures and videos. Mr. Mav got a nice long walk, playtime in a secure yard, grooming, and plenty of supervision and attention. They paid attention to his behavior and needs, including managing minor reactivity appropriately on walks. Mav came home happy, well cared for, and settled, and I would feel comfortable booking with Van again.”

“Fabulous experience! I was super worried about leaving my pup, as he is a bit submissive and can regress pretty quickly. Elizabeth was amazing with him, he quickly decided he liked her and seemed very comfortable in her house. Elizabeth kept me updated, sent me pictures and treated my guy just the way I do (super spoiled). He came home happy, tired and for the first time, I didn’t worry the whole time I was away. I can’t thank her enough, very positive experience!”

“Mollie took great care of our pup! You could tell that she loves caring for animals. She sent so many great pictures and was great at putting our family at ease while she watched our pup! We will definitely have her watch our dog again!”

“Heather’s the best. She provided a clean, organized and, most importantly, caring environment for my pup while I was out of town for a few days. He got along great with her house dog and she kept me updated. I highly recommend her.”

“Aliesha was very accommodating and welcoming to our sweet guy! We did a meet and greet first to make sure everyone got along and it went well. He stayed 6 days and she took him on several walks, kept me updated on status and sent me pics. He’s on a special diet and gets daily meds and supplements and she was a pro at understanding his needs. I knew he was completely at ease and comfortable in her care when she sent me a picture of him sleeping all sprawled out on his back in his most vulnerable state. I would definitely choose Aliesha to care for him again. ❤️🐶”

“Excellent experience overall with Loc. From our initial meet-and-greet prior to Vinny's stay, all the way through to picking up my pup, Loc communicated great and was flexible about our pick up and drop off times. Vinny had a great time with Rosie and the other pups at Loc's house, which I know because Loc sent me some really nice pics throughout my whole time on vacation. I would definitely book with Loc again in a heartbeat!”

“Dee Anne took was able to take Luna in on very short notice. She took great care of her. Great communication, care, and made Luna comfortable. Highly recommended, and hope to be able to have her care for Luna again in the future!”


“So grateful for last minute dog care! Val truly made our 15 year old pup feel at home and we have the pictures she shared with us to prove it ?Our dog typically doesn’t eat when kenneling (due to anxiety), so when we arrived to pick him up and noticed the majority of his food eaten we were very impressed. Thank you Val for taking such great care of our furry family member!”

Van took great care of Mav during his stay. Response time was very quick and communication was clear. I received updates throughout his visit with plenty of pictures and videos. Mr. Mav got a nice long walk, playtime in a secure yard, grooming, and plenty of supervision and attention. They paid attention to his behavior and needs, including managing minor reactivity appropriately on walks.

Oly-dog had a great time during his week-long stay. Xavier helped put me at ease through clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through with Oly's care plan. I'm myself a sitter with about 1,000 bookings through Rover, so I know a good-one from a lackluster-one; Xavier makes the cut. Oly would stay again.

This was our first time using Rover and Aliesha and we’re really glad we did. She took great care of our two boys. We knew after our meet and greet that her and her sweet dog Otto would be perfect for our pups. They seemed to fit right in and got along perfectly. Our boys came home happy healthy and exhausted from all the play time! Will definitely use again!!

Trina is awesome! She takes such great care of Max, helps him have lots of play time with her pups who he loves, and is very communicative with me on what he's up to which I really appreciate. She has helped when Max needs daily eye drops and gives him his daily dental treat which is so helpful so he can have consistency. Max has an amazing time and is always so excited to have sleepovers with Trina, Bruiser, and Peaches.
