I had a perfect experience with Gianina and her family. I felt 100% secure and confident with their care. Gianina sent photos daily and gave updates. They took care of my dog as if she were theirs. My dog is a 5lb, 4 yr. old yorkie, and she got along just fine with their dog. They made drop off and pick up easy and convenient, and the house is nicely tucked away from any main roads. I will 100% recommend and use Gianina in the future. This is my first Rover experience and it was perfect.

Once again my cats had a great time at Mary’s. I especially like that she has a dedicated room for them with toys and lots of places to climb. Mary took time to send me updates and photos, which I really appreciate. I could tell my cat’s enjoyed themselves, they did not want to go home. Even my scaredy-cat, Warrior who spent most of his time hiding behind her couch seemed right at home when I went to pick them up. Thanks Mary!!!

Awesome experience have our Coco with Winkie and Lai, we get updates daily so we don’t have to worry about him. They even provide extra treats for Coco with our permission. Whenever we have questions, they respond promptly. I would definitely recommend them as your dog sitter and we would love to have our Coco with them again!

Harper took absolutely the best care of our dog, Milo. She kept us updated about Milo's daily schedule and activities, making sure that he is getting enough exercises throughout the day, and treated him like her own pet during the 4-day boarding. I would recommend Harper to anyone who is looking for a loving sitter who can take great care of their fur baby!

There is no one I would trust more with my dogs than Olivia M. I have two very senior dogs and need to leave the area for extended periods of time. I know that Olivia will keep them safe and lived while I’m away, and will give administrator the medication that they require. I usually reserve her services months before my trips to ensure that she is available. Thank you Olivia!!

This is my first time using Rover, I believe Lea gave me a great experience. I would definitely rebook her in the future if her schedule allows.

Jenna and Kristen are wonderful dog sitters! I was able to leave my 3 year old miniature dachshund (she has a bit of separation anxiety and is medicated) with them somewhat last minute and they were super accommodating. My dog loved her time there! When my dog ran out of dog food, they let me know right away and asked if it was okay to feed her their dog food. I received pictures, updates, and at pick up my dog was limping a little bit, and Jenna and Kristen checked in with me immediately stating no incidents occurred but likely she was just exhausted and due to her small size and lack of exercise, this was common. Within a few days she was just fine. Already have my next stay booked! Thank you so much!

Yan also provided periodic updates which was great for peace of mind. I will be using Yan again in the future!

This was our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than a family member, and I was nervous. Angelica quickly put our minds at ease and sent over updates and pictured daily. You could tell the dogs felt like they were also on a vacation for the weekend. She and her family went above and beyond for our furbabies.. You could tell from the pictures that our senior dog looked comfortable and safe, and our younger dog was living her best life with some new walking (and roller blading!) adventures. I'm relieved to have found her and to now have a backup option for my family.

About: I’ve taken care of Princess for 12yrs . I grew up with a big family of pet lovers . My home for years have been the one everyone comes to on the weekend to bbq in and ofc all our furry babies are running around. I have a flexible part time job so I am free early mornings and throughout the day to go play with your pets and take them out. I also have a big home and yard if they need to come over to not stay home alone . I have a home with all fenced yard and I no longer have anymore pets , so they are free to roam around in the backyard or if they’re inside dogs they can definitely have in and out access all day to cuddle inside when they want or go get some sun and play. I’m definitely mindful on making sure you feel comfortable with me in your home if needed and would ofc go over to play and take care of your pet in the comfort of their home.

Jianhui and Jacqueline shared daily updates and were thoughtful about the routine. Our dog can be reactive around other dogs, so they planned visits to the dog park when it was empty. They clearly love dogs. I am so glad they were available on short notice! Will book again.

Leaving our two pugs is always the hardest part of traveling. In the past, dog care has been our number one source of anxiety, but this time was completely different. From the moment we dropped them off, we felt total peace of mind. They truly had the time of their lives! It was such a joy to see them so settled and happy in the photos we received. A special shout-out to Elsa for being the most gracious host and keeping them company—they definitely found a new best friend. For the first time, we were able to enjoy our trip without a single worry. We cannot recommend Kate enough and are so grateful for the incredible care she provided!

As a first-time Rover user, I was pretty nervous about leaving my two dogs with someone new—especially since they have a history of running off. From the moment I dropped them off, though, I felt reassured. Pyai took the time to address my concerns and made me feel confident that my dogs were in good hands. It made a huge difference and allowed me to relax while I was away. I’m really grateful for the extra care and attention provided. Thanks Pyai!
