“Margarita was kind and friendly. She accommodated a short-notice booking for us which was incredibly helpful! She sent picture and video updates of Oreo daily, and answered any messages we sent requesting additional updates. I would definitely book with her again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Josh took amazing care of our Bichon Frise, Quartz, for two weeks and even accommodated an extra day when our plans changed. It was clear that Quartz was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. Josh was dependable, communicative, and made the entire process convenient and stress-free. We truly appreciate his flexibility and the excellent care he provided. We will definitely use Josh again for future dog care needs and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. Thank you, Josh! 🐾”
“Ryan took great care of our dogs. He provided lots of pictures with daily updates on how our dogs were doing. Our dogs loved their stay and were so well taken care of. Thank you Ryan!”
“Our Nora had another wonderful stay with Bhavani and her family. It's honestly her second home. They treat Nora so well, and Bhavani always keeps me up to date with feedings and videos of our pup playing. She outstanding”
“Very kind, thoughtful boarder. Updated me constantly with pictures and videos. Even took extra time at odd hours to stay with my dog when she was crying from separation anxiety and I am so grateful.”
“Pam watched Jubilee for 2 weeks and was so flexible accommodating her when I made a mistake on my calendar. She provided updates while I was away and Jubilee always looked so excited and happy! Very grateful I found Pam to watch Jubilee whenever I’m busy or away!”
“My dog is so well cared for when she’s with Jalisa. The entire family loves on my fur baby so much that sometimes I have to drag her away. I am a repeat customer and will be as long as Jalisa will have us.”
“Tanvi and her husband are lovely people. Callie had a wonderful time as was evident in the lovely photos Tanvi was SO considerate in sending us. We WILL be having Callie stay with Tanvi again.”
“Kevin was fantastic! We had a need for a last-minute booking, and he accepted. He sent us updates and photos of Buddy throughout the weekend, and clearly Buddy was extremely comfortable with him. We highly recommend Kevin!”
“Eduardo took great care of my big personality dachshund! I needed last minute care and they were so quick and responsive. They sent photos during the stay and my pup had a great time! Will definitely use them in the future!”
“We were very happy with the care our dog received from Raj. Our puppy is 18 months and has never been away from us until she needed boarding for 8 nights. We received photos and videos from Raj daily which was so appreciated. We could tell that our pup was being taken care of like she was their own dog. We would definitely use Raj again and very highly recommend.”
“This our second time leaving our dog Lola with Debi and her family. They’re amazing and so loving, always taking great care of our pup and providing updates/photos/videos along the way! Debi is our go-to sitter and will continue using her in the future. Thanks Debi for everything!!”
“We have used Lucy twice now - first time for 4 days, second time for 2 days - and we plan to use her again in the future. Our dog likes going to her place as there are usually multiple fur friends for him to play with. (He was happy to go there the second time, so that tells me he has enjoyed himself.) Lucy is friendly and quick to respond to communications. Her years is fenced and it seems like the dogs get to spend a lot of time out there, which is great for our dog.”
“Esther is an absolute gem! My puppy, Alfie, had a wonderful time staying with her. From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Eather sent me frequent updates and adorable photos, which always made me smile and reassured me that my pup was happy, safe, and being spoiled with attention. She made sure Alfie got plenty of playtime and snuggles. Next day pup came home happy, and clearly well-cared for. I can't recommend Esther enough. She's not just a dog sitter; she's a true dog whisperer. We will definitely be using her again for all our future boarding needs! Thanks a lot Esther!!!”
About: I provide attentive, personalized care so pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient and quick to understand each pet’s routine and personality, whether they’re energetic, shy, or senior. I can help reinforce basic training, follow detailed care instructions, and give extra gentle care when needed. What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give I treat every pet like my own and keep you updated for peace of mind. For now, I’m primarily available on Saturdays and Sundays. I may have flexibility on other days once I get to know your pet better or can adjust my schedule accordingly. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have two friendly dogs and a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time and play. I always supervise interactions and make sure each pet feels comfortable and respected.
“If we could give William 10 stars we would. Our Frenchie Rosie is a handful. She's a VELCRO dog that loves attention and needs to be by your side 24/7. She even got to sleep on "Uncle Bills" bed. He has a lot a patience. His dog Whiskey is extremely friendly, as well as the other dog in his care. There's a lot of room inside and out. Rosie came home happy, healthy and exhausted from her first 3 day vacation. We looking forward to seeing him again.”
South River pet parents share their Rover experiences
The best dog sitter that anybody could ever have. He’s very loving to my animals. He does all extra things that I don’t ask him to do like baths. I do believe he plays with them and has a good time with them and makes them feel at home. I know if she’s watching them that they’re safe.
Daniela is amazing! She and her family were so incredibly warm and attentive when they welcomed our dog, Rufus, into their home while we were out of town. We appreciated the regular updates and pictures we received, and felt reassured knowing that Rufus was safe, comfortable, and happy. Ruf felt right at home – so much so that weeks later, during his walks, he will every so often trot up the walkway when he passes their house and sit at the door, waiting to come inside. A testament, I am sure, to the love and attention he received during his stay!
Radwa has been wonderful with our shy dog and immediately made us feel at ease. She is patient, kind, and took the time to earn our dog’s trust, which means so much to us. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gives! We always know our pup is in great hands and highly recommend her!”
Sindy was an amazing pet sitter! I went on a week-long trip, and she kept me updated with photos of Olive enjoying her time at home, eating well, and going on long walks. Sindy is very detailed, caring, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olive in her care. I would 100% book with her again!
We can't thank Jacqueline enough for being able to watch Sedona on short notice. You were wonderful to go through her care instructions so thoroughly and for you and Mimi to welcome her into your home and shower her with loving care. All of the photos and updates were much appreciated!
Amazing 12/10!!! This was by far the best and most comforting experience we’ve had yet. Leaving Nala with someone else can always feel a little nerve-wracking, but they made the entire process so easy and reassuring from the moment I met Harleny. Her kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care for Nala were obvious every step of the way. While we were away, Nala initially ended up having an upset stomach/runs from the stress of being away from us, and they were absolutely amazing through it all. She kept us updated constantly, fed her rice to help settle her stomach, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her so much extra TLC and attention. Knowing she was being cared for so thoughtfully during that time gave us so much peace of mind, and it truly showed how much she genuinely care for the pets they watch. It truly felt like Nala was being treated like a part of her family. One of the sweetest things was the personalized video her husband created for Nala’s Instagram — such a thoughtful touch that completely went above and beyond. We are beyond grateful to have found Harleny and will absolutely continue using her in the future. Nala already misses her new best friends!
This was our first time with a sitter and we could not have imagined a better experience! Jalisa was so kind and friendly she treated our pup like her own, and was so communicative throughout her whole stay! She sent so many great pictures, took her on multiple walks throughout the day, and was so interactive with our pup! As soon as we brought her, she was immediately comfortable with Jalisa and her lovely family. Our dog has stomach issues and can only eat certain foods and Jalisa was very attentive to her needs. Jalisa was also able to do grooming for her during the stay and our princess looks so good and smells super fresh! Will absolutley be bringing our girl back any time we need a sitter and for grooming as well! If you are looking for a sitter I absolutley recommend scheduling with Jalisa, truly such a positive experience!
Such a wonderful experience with Doug and Michelle. My very anxious dog looked relaxed and at home in every picture. Communication was easy and thorough. My pup's complicated medication and treat schedule were followed perfectly!! I very highly recommend this sitter!!
As a first time user of Roover and first time anyone out side of my close family and friends has watched our dog, I’m so happy Sadie chose Megan. Megan was very thorough with understanding Sadie and her routine. We had flight changes that Megan helped with accommodating. Megan communicated with pictures and updates our whole trip so we knew Sadie was having just as much fun as we were. I’m so glad to have found someone I know will take care of our fur-baby the same way we would. I think Sadie has found a new best friend. Thank You Megan for taking such good care of our Sadie Girl.
