“I’m not entirely sure where to start but Lena is incredible! If you have any trips planned or honestly just want to send your dog to someone that is very kind, caring, attentive and can train your dog while you’re away, Lena is your person. She kept us updated every day as we are maybe more neurotic than some but we knew our Ruby was in great hands as she had plenty of outdoor exercise, exploring, cuddle time and puzzles! Lena was super organized, communicative and made sure we had peace of mind while we were away that our dog was in the best care. I’m not sure she wanted to come home when we came to pick her up! Needless to say, we’re huge fans of Lena and give her the highest rating. She’s the best!”


“I went on a last-minute trip, and was having trouble finding a place for my dogs to stay at. I found Farva on rover and it was the best decision I ever made to have my dogs stay with her. She is amazing at taking care of your furry ones. I will definitely be going to her again for any of my future trips! Thank you so much, Farva!”

“Andrew went above and beyond to make my Ito feel at home! He was super communicative as well and I felt so happy knowing my pup was loved on and taken care of so well. Ito is staying with him for a longer visit next month and I feel really lucky I found such a great sitter!”

About: My name is Katiana Thoby and I have been dog sitting since 2017. I am able to watch your cute pets any time of the week (unless the day is marked off)! You will love my patience, kindness, and affection towards the dog. I've watched my friends' dogs before and learned how to work with them and take care of them properly. I enjoyed playing some games like fetch and running around with them. Since my parents don't like animals, I can't have my own dog. When I have my own house, I want a dog of my own so this will be a good experience for me. Thank you and I hope to work with you soon.. I am currently working full time so I will be available to dog sit on the weekends or tuesdays after 5:30pm! Just let me know in advance and I can open a booking for you. I will be available on some holidays but I will let you know in advance! Please make sure to book at least two days in advance. That way, I can make sure I don’t have any other appointments that day. I may accommodate some last minute bookings if I am available the whole stay period. Most of the time, they stay indoors and I attend to them as much as possible! They will be fed on the times provided and well taken care of! If you would like me to provide a bath as well, please let me know. I love playing with them so I usually bring your pets to the park as long as the owner is okay with it (also provides a leash)!
“Yajaira is an absolutely amazing dog sitter! ❤️ She was so accommodating and made time for a meet-and-greet, which was extremely important to me because I am very particular about who I trust with my dog after she experienced an injury while at a previous boarding facility. From the moment I met Yajaira, I felt comfortable with her. She has such a warm, kind, and beautiful personality, and I immediately knew she would be a great fit. My dog felt comfortable around her from the very beginning, which gave me even more reassurance. On the very first day, Yajaira sent me pictures and videos of my dog eating, playing, and going on walks. Those updates meant so much to me and truly put my heart at ease knowing she was happy, safe, and being well taken care of. She paid close attention to my dog's feeding schedule, routine, and individual needs. You can genuinely tell that Yajaira has a true passion for caring for animals. She is warm, attentive, responsible, and incredibly caring. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your fur baby, I highly recommend Yajaira! You can book with her knowing that both your mind and heart will be at peace. 🐾❤️”

“I cannot say enough good things about Destiny. My sister originally booked Destiny to watch her dog with special needs during my wedding weekend. After reading her reviews, I asked if she could watch my two labs during the reception and overnight and she happily agreed. She also agreed to watch my sister-in-laws dog at the last minute, truly saving the day. She sent pictures of all the dogs and they looked like they were having a great time which put me at ease. She was also able to feed my "nephew" his pills with no issue which is not an easy feat. Finally, she continued to be flexible with our changing schedule and when we were late picking up the dogs because my car decided to die! If we lived closer to the area, Destiny would be my go-to. My mom and sister live in New York City and they already said they definitely intend to rebook. I really cannot thank her enough. Her backyard was perfect for the dog and the house was well kept. I had no concern leaving my girls there.”

“Cocoa warmed up to Vanessa and her family soon after we left her at their house. Vanessa sent us updates, pictures and videos which comforted us, knowing that Cocoa was happy. We will definitely have Vanessa watch Cocoa again.”

About: I grew up around dogs and my love for pets have followed me to my adult life. I have two dogs (5-year-old Shih tzu and a 1-year-old Terrier). We have lots of space in my home and a fenced yard which your dog will love. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. Your dogs will love running around in my fenced back yard and playing with me! I have a fenced yard to guarantee plenty of moving and can create your dog too if needed. I work from home so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for walks, play and affection.
“So, as a nervous dog dad, I was so relieved by how thoughtful and patient she was with Boo. She kept me updated the whole time, sent photos, and really put my mind at ease. I’d recommend her to anyone”

“Katie was wonderful for my pup! We did a meet and greet before, which was great. I received daily updates and pictures while I was away. She was very responsive and Barney was comfortable with her. I will definitely be using her again for watching Barney.”


“I was caught in a bind as I was moving and my current place had to cancel due to the weather. This is my first time using Rover and I needed to find someone to watch my pup. River is a bit reserved and can be very nervous. Pam is a life saver. She sent pictures throughout her visit and I was completely at ease during a very stressful move. I will definitely recommend Pam and will reach out to her again whenever I need a sitter for my girl. Thanks a million. You are the best!!!”

“I am very happy with Atilio & Silvia's family and how they care for and about my dogs. They are careful with their feeding and prescriptions - and have fun with the dogs. I got pictures and feedback daily and my dogs always looks very relaxed. I will defininately use them whenever I travel, with confidence and pleasure! Many thanks for your open hearts and caring home!”

“Wonderful experience, had to find someone last minute for my girls, Millie and Cali, when I was on a family trip and she was awesome! She updated me everyday and returned everything cleaner than I took it to her. Great experience and grateful for her help.”

“We used John for the first time recently, he took care of our girl Irie, a high energy Wirehaired Pointing Griffon for five nights. We appreciated John and his calm demeanor after an initial meeting with him and his dog Laverne a week prior to drop off. Irie and John and his Family got along great and Irie arrived home after pick up as if we were only separated for short while. A great indicator of her being well taken care of.”


“Valeria is the sweetest! She cares for our dog as if she’s her own, probably even better than we do!! She takes her on walks and spoils her and we wouldn’t want our dog in anyone else’s care! We never have a worry when we leave Scout with her!”


“Jessica was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our cats, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“Kyle took great care of our dog. He was responsive and followed all directions we gave him about our slightly quirky pooch. We've already booked our next board with him! Thank you Kyle!!”

“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”

Claire was a fantastic sitter! She took amazing care of my two golden pups. She was very responsive, sent lots of pics, and accommodating to our changing schedule. She gave my dogs lots of love and took them on lots of walks. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

Great overall experience! Thank you Jack for taking such wonderful care of our energetic baby Rex. Thank you also for the daily updates and videos, it was most comforting being so far away and being away from him for the first time. I would reach out again to Jack/Rover immediately if we are ever in need again.
