“I can’t thank Lily enough for accepting my request to board my dog Chili last minute. Chili came back a happier dog than when I dropped her off. Lily sent great updates throughout the day which really showed how much she cares!!”


2. Tyler E.


“Tyler was awesome! Frequent communications and pictures throughout the four day stay. He took Otis for daily walks and to the park and even gave him a bath! :) Would definitely recommend Tyler to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”


3. Cassandra & Jason K.


“Cassandra and Jason were AMAZING - the best Rover care we have ever experienced. We booked them for an extended stay on short notice when our initial plans changed. They were so communicative and always sent prompt updates & photos. They took Junie on numerous walks and were always asking about her routine to maintain consistency. We feel so fortunate to have found Cassandra and Jason, and I would recommend them to anyone that wants the best care for their pets. We’ll be sending Junie their way for all future stays!”

“Jeff and his wife took good care of Marley! He stayed with them for 3 nights and we received daily updates via msgs, pictures, and videos. He’s a little quirky and we appreciate them rolling with it :) Thank you for giving him a safe and loving “vacation.””


10. Madeline J.

“We had an amazing experience having Madeline board our dog while we were out of the country for thanksgiving week. She was so friendly and responsive throughout his stay; it was reassuring to get regular updates and know our dog was in great hands and was being kept busy. I actually think our dog was a little bummed to be leaving her when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”


11. Ian W.

“First time using Rover. Ian took care of my pup while I was out of town. He made the process super easy and sent many pics of Kyrone while I was gone . Thank you again, Ian !”


12. Patches B.

“Patches is by far the best dog-sitter we’ve ever had. She obviously loves animals but she also took the time to reassure us by sending updates and pictures without us even asking. Drop-off and pick-up was a breeze. But, best of all, we could tell our pup was really happy, which made it so much easier to have to be away from him. Thank you, Patches! We’ll be using you again!”


13. Brennan K.

“I boarded my cat Hank the Girl Cat with Brennan for a few days and it couldn’t have gone better! Brennan was flexible and communicative and based on the pictures of Hank snuggling on her lap I’d say she enjoyed it as well. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Brennan again.”


14. Camryn C.

“Although we hate to leave our dog behind when we travel, we love leaving her in the hands of Camryn. We know our dog will get plenty of love, attention, and everything she needs during her time away from us. Camryn is a great communicator and sends photos to keep us updated on how our dog is doing so we never have to worry. Thank you again Camryn!”


15. Sarah L.

“Sarah is amazing! She is an experienced sitter and I feel like Oreo is safe with her. I have booked with her twice and will continue to do so. Oreo adores her!”


16. Kendall K.

“Kendall was great with Romeo 🩷 communicated everything and gave proper updates! thank you!”


17. Griffin R.

“Griffin was an excellent dog sitter! Caring, responsive, friendly, and good with sending photos that let us see how happy and comfortable our dog was. Would use again!”


18. Jean-Paul & Andrea H.

“Jean-Paul and Andee are AMAZING! I don’t even want to leave a review because I want to horde them for myself 😂 I received so many great updates and pics of my dog while I was away, and it made me so relieved and happy. They also were able to pivot and handle some vet things that popped up unexpectedly. Your dog will be happy, safe, and well loved in their home! Cannot recommend them enough!”


19. Sarah W.

“Sarah was great! Our pup Lexie has some separation anxiety, which makes leaving her home alone a challenge, and Sarah handled it like a champ. She also sent over two adorable videos of Lexie playing and running around - she was clearly having the time of her life! We'd use Sarah again in a heartbeat!”




20. Lilia F.


“Lilia is amazing. She took perfect care of polo and love him so much! He seemed so happy during his stay. Lilia gave me daily updates and photos which helped me! Thank you!!!”
