“I had a wonderful experience with Yan taking care of Roro! She treated Roro with so much love and care, taking her out for daily walks and sending me updates with pictures and videos. Roro looked so comfortable and joyful in her home. I will definitely rebook in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Christine and Matt were wonderful with Logan! He had a great stay and we were grateful for the regular updates and photos. Logan got along well with their 2 dogs, and was tired out when we picked him up after being away! They went above and beyond getting Logan to eat, and communicated with us well. We will absolutely use them again!”
“Polina is a nice intelligent person. I highly recommend her. I left my puppy for 9 nights and Polina kept in touch all the time about how my puppy is and what my puppy is doing. She really takes good care of my puppy, by walking him every 3 hours and feeding him as I asked her to. When I came to pick the puppy up, I found that the puppy was very happy, vitally joyful, and very active.”

“Eden and her mom were absolutely phenomenal caregivers to our dog Mindy on our first extended trip! They welcomed her in with open arms and treated her like family with so much love and care. Eden sent lots of updates and pics which we loved and helped put us at ease knowing she was in great hands. Mindy loved having a companion (their pup Cruizey) throughout the week. Eden is extremely knowledgeable and tremendously thoughtful. I can’t say enough about how much we love and appreciate Eden and her mom, and their sweet pup Cruizey! Mindy can’t wait for her next stay!”
About: Hello, I am a college student who is going into an environmental field, I love the wildlife and any animal, ive taken care of pets my whole life from neighbors to relatives to family friends, I am a dog person but any pet is welcomed and I always try to keep them as close to home as possible I currently have a job Monday- Friday, from 8-4 but I am always open on weekends and if its not a problem with the owners willing to take care in between my Job I always try to keep the pet care as closely similar as the animals daily schedule. I try to keep the animal stress free and relaxed, I used to spend time trying to understand these amazing animals and giving them what they need
About: I've been taking care of animals since 7th grade. My family had their own dog and I used to care for animals around the neighborhood including cats and other animals. I take care of my former co workers dogs and my dad's dog. I'm a very active person, so I love to play outside and go for walks. I work as a teaching assistant full time and school gets out at 2:15 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon most days and could always take time off if needed for a long weekend. Plus school breaks I have plenty of time. I live in an apartment that has small dog parks outside. I'm very comfortable with letting dogs out in fenced in areas and taking them on leash for walks.

South Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
Luna had a very good time and seemed very well cared for. She got to sleep in the bed and apparently slept very well. She went for multiple walks and was well fed. The videos that I was sent showed that she was being snuggled and given a lot of love. Very pleased and will certainly bring her back there again.
The best experience for our Iggy, and for us!! Samantha was so caring and in tune with the needs of our dog. She gave him lots of snuggles and play time, and he was just a part of her family while we were away. Her son was great with him, too, and even let him take over his bed when he slept with him at night (sorry Iggy was such a pillow hog, Korben). They have a big fenced in yard to play in and plenty of room in the house for rainy or overly hot days. Samantha shared lots of pictures and updates so we knew he was having a great time, and it put our minds at rest on our week long vacation. We honestly wondered if he would want to come home with us - the experience was that good! Thank you, Samantha and Korben, for providing the best possible home away from home for our Iggy. He, and we, love you for it, and will not hesitate to reach out again for his care when we go away!
