“Our cat was well loved and taken care of. We got updates and pictures everyday, which my kids were so happy to see our beloved cat while we were away. Highly recommended!!!”
“This was our second time having Joe and Reanaleena care for our dogs, Pereus and Atlas, and once again, they went above and beyond. It’s such a relief to leave town knowing our dogs are not only safe but truly loved while we’re away. They clearly remembered all the little details from the first stay and made the dogs feel right at home again. We got regular updates, photos, and even some sweet moments captured that really showed how comfortable and happy Pereus and Atlas were. Take advantage of their pick up and delivery options as well. I was beat from the drive and Joe dropped the boys off without hesitation. It’s rare to find sitters who are so reliable, communicative, and genuinely connected with the dogs. We’re so grateful to have found them and wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to book again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for care that feels like family!”
“Laura was super accommodating and kind. Galileo and I just moved to Fl from ct and I needed to head across country for a last minute work trip. Laura made me feel comfortable leaving Galileo in her care and provided updates on how well he was doing.”
“We were traveling through Jacksonville and had a business dinner on the way. We needed a dog sitter on short notice and Katya stepped in to assist. We left the dog with her her for about 2.5 hours, received numerous pictures and updates. Great communication and affection for our dog. When we picked her up we were told they walked her for an hour since she was in the car all dayu. Great sitter, great communication! Thank you for helping us out!”
“Brandon was incredibly friendly from start to finish. He genuinely loves animals and his warm demeanor made both me and my pet feel instantly at ease. Brandon ensured compatibility offered a meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit with another dog to meet everyone's needs. Communication was top of mind as I received updates and photos which increased my level of comfort.”
“Meyoung was AMAZING!!!! So accommodating with my last minute booking and she did so well with my hyperactive puppy! I also appreciated all of the pictures and updates. I would definitely use her again and I highly recommend.”
“My dog absolutely loved staying with Emma, her husband, and their cutie pup. We were traveling from out of town and she scheduled a call to speak beforehand. She sent daily check-ins with pictures and was overall incredibly responsive. You can tell that Emma and her husband really care about the pets that they watch. I 10000% percent recommend choosing her to take care of your pet! If we lived closer, she would definitely be our go-to Rover!”
“Rachel and her daughter were amazing!! From initial contact they made the experience seamless and welcoming. Koda didn’t want to go home he had such a good time. 10/10, hope to use their services in the future! Thank you both!!”
“Clarissa is amazing! Great communication and even sent pictures during our time away! My crazy pup came home exhausted! She even taught her how to sleep without being in a crate or in the bed with us and she is doing well not messing in the house when we are resting! I am so grateful! We booked again and will continue to book every trip we can with her and her amazing family!”
“Lala was fantastic! She came a little earlier to pick up Cleopatra because of a conflict that arose. On top of that, she kept her a little bit longer than prearranged delivery back home. She sent pictures and descriptions of Cleopatra’s mood and she did much better than I expected.(the cat, not Lala ;)). We definitely recommend her and would use her again.!!”

“Cynthia was great with our two dogs. She went above and beyond to take care of them and make sure they were comfortable and happy while in her care. We couldn't ask for a better care giver for our dogs!”
“Brook kept my Lucy for 6 nights, I am very happy with her service. She sent multiple pictures of Lucy during her time there ensuring she was having a good time.This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service as I’ve always been skeptical of leaving her with strangers. I feel like Lucy fit right in with Brooks family and will definitely use her services again. Our vacation was so much more relaxed without the stress of traveling with a dog. Thanks Brook and family for taking such good care of Lucy”

South Riverside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Finding Rosangela was the biggest blessing in the world! We immediately felt so comfortable leaving our senior chihuahua with her. We had a wedding in Europe and were gone for two weeks. She sent photos/videos and took the absolute best care of him. We will most definitely be using her in the future!

Shera absolutely spoiled my dog Ollie during his stay with her. You can truly tell she cares about the pets she sits, and really appreciate her asking questions to ensure mine and Ollies comfort levels throughout the weekend. I highly recommend her and Ollie can’t wait to have another reason to have her as a sitter!
Abigail was amazing!! She was accommodating last minute and communicated with me about my dogs stay in a timely manner and sent lots of pics! My dog Rex had a great time playing with her dog, Maggie, and was happy and all tuckered out when he got home. 10/10 recommend!!
