Southgate dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jesse and Kimmy are awesome!!! They really went above and beyond from the beginning. Took great care of Jack with a lot of attention to detail, sent us lots of photos and videos and sent us home with a cute picture and a bag of treats. You can tell Jack had a great time, we will definitely be booking again!🤩 thanks Jesse and Kimmy!!
Margaret was an excellent dog nanny for Zelda and they even practiced some of Zelda’s skills! Fully recommend her
Zhicheng is a great guy. He took care of Jeff like his own furry kid and he had a great time with Jeff for three days. He has good communication with us and updates us every day. Looking forward to working with him again.
Fang was absolutely amazing with our high energy german shepherd Loki, and gave him a great first-time boarding experience! Loki bonded with her instantly and looked very happy and relaxed at pick up time. Fang gave him lots of playtime outdoors and followed a great routine during his stay. Fang was super caring and loving, and sent us lots of pics and videos throughout the day, which gave us the much needed peace of mind knowing our furbaby was well taken care of in our absence. We are extremely grateful and appreciate Fang’s thoughtfulness in following our special instructions for Loki’s care and for being so kind and attentive to Loki’s needs. We will definitely be sending Loki to her for longer stays, knowing he will be loved and well taken care of.
Javier took great care of my 11 months old puppy. He is super nice, detailed oriented, responsible and sent regular updates through the stay. My dog was very happy and well exercised when I picked him up. Javier’s sweet lab also got along great with mine so it was bonus for the dogs to play together. He has a lot of experience. I would definitely recommend him as a sitter.
Fifi always has such a great time at Tillana’s! She comes back happy and tired. Thanks for taking such good care of her, Tillana, even while healing from your surgery!
Yun and his partner did a great job taking care of our pup, Bagel, for a whole week. Bagel had lots of fun with them, they walked and played fetch with him daily. They made sure they understood the care instructions we provided and sent daily updates. Most importantly, Bagel came home a happy dog. Highly recommend!
Donna was wonderful! She took great care of our Keke and was responsive the entire week we were gone. Thank you Donna!
Bethany took such great care of Buddy! She has great communication, took my pup on some awesome adventures and fully integrated Buddy into her family! It made being away from him a lot easier!

Olga, Igor and family took great care of our young-at-heart doggie! It was our first time using Rover and Olga was exceptionally kind, responsive and caring. Our doggie was made an immediate member of their family and ran off to play with their dog, Fox without a backward glance. They sent photos and updates. We really appreciated the extra touches too like putting an air tag on our doggie’s collar. We highly recommend Olga and Igor!! Thank you!!!
A wonderful sitter! We felt completely comfortable that our dog was happy and well cared for! Thank you for everything!
Rhea and her family took absolutely wonderful care of Theo - they kept in near constant contact, providing lots of photos and videos of what they were up to, and he was clearly getting lots of love, attention, and adventures. I’m so grateful for their care. Highly recommend them to anyone!
We needed last minute dog sitting on 4th of July weekend and Yuning was there to save the day! She was very responsive and sent photos of Benny. We definitely recommend her.
Nastasia took great care of our two-year-old dog while we were out of town for a few days! She sent us updates at least once a day on how our dog was doing along with pictures.
