“I had to find someone to watch Bobbie VERY last minute. Brooke quickly accepted my last minute request and was happy to do so! I had never used Rover before or had left him with anyone outside of my family. I was nervous at first, but it was clear upon meeting Brooke that she is a cat lover! I knew Bobbie was in good hands and loved the daily picture updates she sent. Brooke even gave us a goodie bag after dropping Bobbie off! I will definitely be booking with Brooke again!”
“This was our third time using Rover, and once again, it was a great experience! We left Zeus with Nathaniel, and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave him. He is very kind and friendly, and he made both of us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Nathaniel is reliable, responsible, and honest—everything you could hope for when leaving your pet with someone. He treated our furry friend like his own, which we truly appreciated. A big plus is that he’s located very close to the airport, which made drop-off and pick-up super easy and convenient on our way home. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would definitely leave our big dog with him again!”
“We are so happy to have found Carly! She promptly responded to initial our inquiry to address and ask questions as well as accommodating our scheduling needs. She provided many updates during our pup’s stay which included pictures. We felt very comfortable and will absolutely seek her for future boarding needs!”
“Savannah L. Was wonderful caring for Gracie. She gave her lots of love & attention. Gracie was very happy in the pictures Savannah sent us, and when we picked her up to go home. She was clean, ate well, had her meds and we would use Savannah again in a heartbeat!!! We love Savannah.”
“Tetiana took really great care of my Sir. She sent great photos daily and kept assuring me, he was doing great since this was my 1st time being away from him. If i could give her more than 10 stars, I would.”
“Martha is awesome! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving Bennett with someone new but Martha couldn't have been better with him. I received many photo updates throughout the long weekend and she reached out to me with any questions and concerns, even including if his eyes watering was normal or if he was comfortable if she took the stickies out of his paws after playing. I appreciated that she was considerate with the small things since we all worry about our fur babies being okay when we're away. He got to go on many walks to the park and she checked with me beforehand what he is comfortable with. She really treated him like her own and he enjoyed playing with the other dogs. I definitely recommend and will use her in the future! Thank you Martha!”
“Linda was great! She watched our two large dogs and has an amazing backyard for them to play. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay, and the dogs seemed to have a great time. I would highly recommend her.”
“Sarahi and Leonardo were the best sitters we have come across in Rover. They were very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and made our baby feel very cared for. He’s usually not good with other dogs. We told them in advance but somehow our dog ended up becoming friends with their cute senior dogs which we were so happy about because our dog doesn’t have many friends! We recommend them 10/10!”
“Michelle was great! She watched my dog last minute, she kept me updated on her and how she was doing, even gave her a bath (with permission). We will be using her again for future sitting. Thanks so much!”
“I can’t thank Kristie enough for taking such wonderful care of my two boys! One of my pups can be a bit anxious and tends to cry when I first leave, but he immediately felt at home with Kristie. I was amazed at how comfortable he became, enjoying his time with the other dogs she was caring for. Kristie kept me updated with pictures, which gave me complete peace of mind, and I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about. Her calm and caring demeanor really eased the transition. I highly recommend Kristie and will definitely be coming back. Thank you again!”
“My loved dogs always come happy after spending time at Eric’s place. Even this time was different I want to express special appreciation to Eric, Titti (one of my pets) needed special attention and he acted as required and made sure she had the right and professional attention to keep her safe. Thank you for being part and taking care of my loving dogs.”
“Ivanka was great with Leo and Penelope! Ivanka responded quickly with our request for dog sitting in her home and she kept in contact with us regarding our babies stay. Both Leo and Penelope look happy to be home and they also look satisfied after their stay with Ivanka and her two puppies. If you are looking for a dog sitter, look no further than Ivanka! She cared for Leo and Penelope as they were her own puppies. She is dependable and super sweet with our puppies. Thank you for caring for my two little ones! Ivanka is a 5/5 star doggie sitter!”
“Christina and Amelia were great! From initial request to meet and greet to our pup's stay, everything was seamless. They sent daily updates, videos and photos. I would 100% recommend them!”
“Erin was awesome with my dog, Lily! I booked her boarding services for a long holiday weekend and she was very accommodating in making sure leaving Lily behind was stress free. Her home is in a very convenient location when flying out of/into Orlando airport as well. She takes lots of pictures and videos to update you on what her and your pet are up to! I could tell Lily felt right at home ☺️ I’d recommend Erin’s services to anyone looking for a cozy and safe stay!”
“Very communicative and flexible. Took time to ask questions about our doby and made sure he got along with the other pups. Big backyard for them to chase each other around and play. Gave good feedback as well.”
“Kristin was amazing with my little fur baby! She took care of her like she was her own, and it was such a wonderful experience. She has the perfect setup for dogs, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in great hands. Kristin kept me updated, gave her lots of love and attention, and made sure she was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Melanie and Troy took great care of our pup while we were away for a weekend vacation. Their proactive communication allowed us to enjoy our trip. We’ll be checking with them again next time we need someone to watch her.”

I cannot recommend this pet sitter highly enough! I needed someone on very short notice to watch my 16 year old little Bella and he stepped in without hesitation. From the moment I dropped her off, I knew she was in caring and capable hands. He took exceptional care of my sweet little Bella, making sure she was comfortable, happy, and well-loved while I was away. I received updates that gave me peace of mind, and it was clear that Bella was being treated like part of the family. When I picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and obviously well cared for. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy to care for your pet, I wholeheartedly recommend him. I am incredibly grateful for his help and will definitely use his services again in the future! Thank you again, Douglas!
Rebekah and her family were so great, and accommodating to our needs. She really saved us in a pinch! She sent daily photos, and was very commutative about everything from food, to toys and treats that she was giving my pup. I was so thankful Rebekah was able to help us out and care for my hogan !
Karyna and Emre took excellent care of Spooky. We were nervous about leaving Spooky with someone new so we reached out to Karyna and Emre for a meet and great and after talking to them and seeing them interact with our dog we felt comfortable. They asked us a ton of questions to understand our dog and his needs. He stayed with them from Thursday to Sunday and they sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. They walked, snuggled, set up his enrichment toys and gave him plenty of treats. It was apparent he was very comfortable there with them.
Michelle is phenomenal with my two dogs. I would trust her to take care of them in any circumstance. You will not be disappointed if you choose her to watch your dogs. Not only does she make sure that they are tended to she; goes above and beyond while welcoming them into her home.
We had a wonderful first experience with the Rover App. Leda was so friendly and you could tell she had tons of experience with dog sitting. We felt so comfortable leaving Ollie in her capable hands for the weekend. She was so accommodating with pickup and drop off times and was great about sending updates on our sweet boy all weekend long. We will definitely be using her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a great dog sitter!
Queenita was excellent with taking care of my dog. She was super attentive of everything. From the meet & greet, drop off, and pick up she made sure she was crystal clear on all my instructions and everything came back super clean, including my dog! She kept me updated on all details from my dog’s potty schedule to how much he ate of each of his meals and sent me so many pictures which means a lot to me. I could tell she really cared for my dog and went the extra mile to cater towards his needs since he is a senior. He was very comfortable while staying with her and I liked that he had Ellie to hang out with as well! I highly recommend Queenita if you are looking for a great pet sitter!
Tanya took great care of Blaise and sent us daily updates. Blaise stayed with her for almost 3 weeks while we were out of the country. She had some skin issue prior to the stay but Tanya did an amazing job monitoring her and putting lotion on her skin. I can tell she took good care of her because there are no new spots and her skin is healing well. We definitely recommend Tanya!
