“Lisa was great with my dog and made it a smooth pick-up and drop-off process. I could tell my dog was comfortable and well cared for. I would definitely recommend booking with her!”

“Super happy with Ellie’s time spent with Stacey and her family! Appreciated the communication and pics throughout our time away, we could sense the love they gave our girl. Will book again!! 🙏🏽”

“Dawn and her family provided a comforting setting for our dog Astro. He was the only client they had for the stay which to us is just what he likes. He’s not much a social one, but tolerates well with other dogs if he has to! They paid Astro lots of attention when he needed it. Kept us up to date on anything that was important to tell us and sent pictures to show us he’s doing well! He’s pretty easy to take care of and not a trouble maker for anybody and he knew he was in good hands! Also, we liked that Dawn has a fenced in backyard! Big plus! Thanks again! Mike and Liz”

“As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....”

“Zachary was great with my petsitting needs - especially given that I reached out for the first time within a week of needing the help. He fit me into his schedule for a meet n greet (which went really well), I really liked that he had a fenced in backyard. The stay was arranged for 5 days (I ended up coming back a day early and was able to pick him up early). Zachary provided updates early in the stay to let me know how my dog was settling in. Zachary was very responsive to my messages and was quick to reply. If you have a dog with separation anxiety (like mine), it was great that he lives in a house, so there were no wall neighbors (such as apartments) to worry about with any barking. If I find myself traveling for a few days again, I will definitely reach out to see if Zachary is available to watch my dog!”


“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”

“I was so happy to have found Maria and Nayibe for my small Poo-Chon. They have a wonderful, completely dog friendly home and a beautiful fully fenced back yard. They seem to specialize in small dogs and my guy just loved running and playing in their back yard. Maria sent me daily updates and lots of photos and videos. I will definitely use Maria and Nayibe in the future for boarding my little dog.”

“Laura was great! Our dog Dolly seemed well taken care of. Dolly got along really good with her labrador Diesel. He is a sweet boy. Highly recommend her and have scheduled for future plans. Theresa W.”


“Clark had so much fun staying with Andrew and his family! They have a big fenced in backyard and I got plenty of pictures of Clark playing :) definitely would book again!”

“Ashlee was great with my dog, Sariah! She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend, which was much appreciated. We will definitely book her again when we need a sitter.”


“We're always nervous to leave Zoey, our little miniature Dachshund, behind when we go away. If you feel the same about your baby look no further than Daniel. Daniel and Holly provide a loving and safe environment and you can tell they really love each of their guests. Picking up Zoey after 5 nights away she was by far the happiest I've seen her when picking her up from "vacation". Happy, healthy and no anxiety. Daniel sent us the cutest pictures from all 5 days of her stay. I can't recommend Daniel enough and would give 10 stars if possible! Zoey can't wait to go back and we're so excited to have a warm family for her when we go away next time!”

“Tyler was so great, we can’t recommend him enough! He took such good care of Carli and was so easy to communicate with. He made sure she got exactly what she needed while we were out of town, and we were able to rest easy knowing she was in good hands.”

“Amazing dog sitters! I was so comfortable leaving them here. Right away they ask all the necessary details concerning my girls’ care, did a meet and greet and saw their clean house and yard set up for dog sitting, and during the stay I received approx. daily pictures or videos where my girls looked so happy and active! I will definitely trust them to pet sit again. Thank you!!”

“Rebecca & her family were the best! Lola was very well taken care of and we will continue to rebook with her for future trips. Your pet is in the best hands.”

“Katrina is wonderful. She was a great sitter for our dog for an extended vacation and we really appreciated her care. We didn’t worry about Abbey at all. Abbey was obviously happy at Katrina’s house and loves to hang out with her dogs! Thanks so much Katrina!”

“Absolutely amazing, August had a phenomenal time and is super looking forward to his next stay at their house :) He loved his puppy sitter! They were Very responsive, responsible, honest, and sent plenty of wonderful photos and videos of our pup having a fabulous time.”

“This was our very first time using Rover. We would absolutely bring Dunkin back to Karen and Toy when we are traveling again. They offered a meet and greet before we went on vacation, sent daily updates on how Dunkin was doing, and he was all tired out when we picked him up from all of the puppy play time with Mercy. Thank you again, Karen and Toy! We are thankful and highly recommend this family!”

“Lacey watched my dog while I was back home for thanksgiving break - she did an exceptional job and provided plenty of pictures! My dog played a lot with her sisters dog and they ran around a bunch in the yard”


“Sara was both completely professional and warm/kind with Kiara. She was ready to set up a meet & greet when it worked for us. She was also patient when our schedule changed a bit for drop off and pick up, and let us shift the times a bit. Most importantly, Kiara had a great time with plenty of walks and trips to the dog part with her new dog friend Josie.”

Southgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Courtney did a wonderful job taking care of my middle-aged and senior dogs. I received regular updates, showing me how they settled in quickly, and how she modified activities based on the weather. I didn't give a good explanation of how to give one of my dog's medications, and she reached out appropriately so I could give better instructions. The frequent updates gave me great reassurance that my dogs were in good hands while I was away, making it easier to enjoy my vacation without worrying about them.

Madeline was absolutely wonderful with Pretzel and Stella during a two-week stay. As the first sitter outside of friends and family I've ever trusted with my dogs, I was understandably nervous but she put those worries to rest immediately. She kept me consistently informed throughout the entire booking, which made such a difference. I came home to two happy, healthy pups and total peace of mind. She clearly genuinely cares about the animals in her care. I'm already looking forward to booking with her again!

So kind and accommodating. It was great that she had a dog as it helped mine feel at ease. Sara asked for a meet & greet to make sure we were on the same page. Thank you for taking him to the dog park, his favorite place to be. Will definitely ask to rebook with her if needed on my next visit. Thank you Sara!

Tracie was wonderfully attentive and great with our pup! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Great communication, and respectful of our dog’s needs. Our dog can be a bit leash reactive, but Tracie was mindful to introduce her carefully to her own pets and make sure our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Tracie!!

Yshonda was absolutely pawsome as a pup sitter! She kept me updated the entire time with the cutest videos of Abby playing and having a tail-wagging good time with her dog. I always felt informed and at ease while Abby was in her care. Honestly, I’ve never seen Abby so excited to spend time with someone she had just met — she came home one happy pup! Yshonda even sent Abby home with an adorable little goodie bag, which was such a thoughtful touch. She’s truly been one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever had — I’d recommend her fur-real to anyone looking for someone caring, attentive, and trustworthy!

I could not of asked for a better dog sitter than Laura. I would book her again in a heartbeat! She sent pictures every day which was greatly apprreciated. She took such good care of Rascal that I diid not think he would want to come home with me. Best dog sitter ever!!
Would definitely book again with Jill in the future. She clearly loves dogs and has lots of treats and dog toys in her home. Our anxious pup warmed up to her quickly and came home happy. And she came in clutch for us and was able to take our booking on short notice when we really needed it. Would recommend to others looking for a dog sitter.
