12. Annalisa R.

“Had a magnificent experience leaving my boys ( 7 months old) with Annalisa. First, I must say that I am new to Rover and was leaving my pups for the first time, so needless to say I was nervous. Annalisa sensed our nervousness and first graciously came over to my home to meet us and the boys in their own environment with her own dog. The boys felt really comfortable with Annalisa and her dog. We then went to her place and the boys were thrilled again to see her and her dog once again, and they felt really comfortable at her home. So we felt at ease with the decision to leave them there. While we were on our trip we communicated daily and got pictures of the boys. Annalisa was easy to reach. She was always reassured us the boys were well and happy. She herself always seemed at ease and comfortable and happy to be with the boys. I always worry about how the boys will be accepted as they are very energetic and rambunctious but Annalisa seemed to take it all in stride.She even explained that she had to give one of the boys a bath as he had soiled himself. When we came to pick them up it was clear they were happy there. We feel very good about the whole experience. She did a wonderful job of making us feel at ease about leaving the boys there with her. Its clear the boys were well attended to and were made to feel at home there with her. It was important for us that the boys were treated as well as we try to treat them ourselves. Annalisa met all our needs and we trust her completely with the boys. We recommend her highly.”


13. Erika B.

“Our young and rambunctious poodle, Twinkie, had an amazing week at Erika’s!! We’ve used rover before but this is the first time we felt the experience went above and beyond, and we felt confident the whole time not only that Twinkie was safe but that she was possibly having the best week of her life lol! Erika was extremely professional and responsive and sent us many pictures throughout the stay. Twinkie had an amazing time playing nonstop with Erika’s dog Huxley, and it’s very clear Erika took excellent care of Twinkie throughout. This will absolutely be our go to rover , and I strongly recommend Erika to anyone reading this!”


14. Nichole T.

“Nichole took such good care of our dog, Juniper! She was so well cared for and enjoyed playing with Nichole's dog. Nichole sent lots of pictures and updates and even went as far as to clean her ears when she saw they were irritated. We could not recommend her more!”


15. Alena g.

“Super easy booking experience. Kept in contact giving updates the whole time. Definitely made it a lot easier to leave him behind. 10/10 recommend!”


16. Beverly B.

“Beverly has been absolutely amazing. My dog loved her and her husband the three days she stayed with them. Beverly was very flexible with us and responsive whenever we texted her. We also enjoyed all the photos she sent us while we were away.”

“Ruth did a wonderful job taking care of my pet. She kept me updated and even sent pictures. I am excited to know I have a new pet sitter!!”


18. Alex N.

“Alex the great care of Molly and Manny and sent me the most adorable picture. He really loves what he does and made them part of his family. I will definitely use him again!”


19. Erica A.

“I was so nervous, using someone other than our "regular sitter" for the first time. But Erica quickly exceeded all expectations. She sent an update with multiple pictures each day, was incredibly attentive to our senior dog's medical routine, and loved on our boys as if they were a part of her own pack. I'm so grateful to have found her and have already rebooted with her for our next vacation. Erica, you're the best! Thank you for making sure my dogmom heart was at ease while hubby & I were away from our babies.”


20. Meta T.

“Meta was very nice. Charlie loved her and felt at home in Meta's house. It was obvious that she spent a lot of time taking care of Charlie because he was very tired when he came back home.”
