“It’s really clear that Tracy takes phenomenal care of our dog. We got tons of pictures daily and updates on her day to day activities. Our dog also loved them and was excited to stay there. Wouldn’t hesitate to use them again at all”

“I know my dog was well taken care of and happy with Manli. She was super communicative and shared daily photo updates, which I appreciated. She made sure to ask about anything she should know about my dog before I left for my trip. I would definitely recommend her and would board my dog with her again.”

“Michael is a fantastic dogsitter! He takes the dogs on looooong walks and sends lots of photos. My only complaint is that I think my dog liked him better than us and sulked the day we brought her home!! But that's not his fault!”

“I always feel at ease dropping Enzo off with Margaret. He is a unique dog with some health issues and Margaret is well equipped and knowledgeable about his care. She goes out of the way to take care of him and I always feel reassured he is in good hands.”

“Kelly and Ben were great with Sadey for a long stay! I can tell she was well loved and taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely leave our pup with them again! Thank you!”

“Jasmine was very responsible and took care of our easily excitable dog with Love. Before the drop off, she carefully asked for important care instructions, and during the stay she kept us updated and shared photos.”

“Meerim and her partner were absolutely amazing dog sitters for my family’s 9 year old dog! She handled our dog’s reactive tendencies around other dogs like a pro and was incredibly prompt in responding and sending pics throughout the stay. Our dog was very happy and comfortable with Meerim due to her attentive, gentle, and loving nature - I would readily recommend Meerim to anyone looking for the best pet care around and we will definitely happily rebook!”

“Ahmyah was amazing! She took Brody in for a full week with short notice and kept us updated throughout with pictures! She was very attentive to his needs, and it was easy to tell that Brody loved her. Would definitely use again!”

“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!”

“Min Jin and Mi Ran were so wonderful to work with and watch Theo. They were incredibly responsive, gave multiple updates with lots of photos (which I greatly appreciated) and were more than willing to spend time to make sure he would eat (as it always takes him a bit to settle into a new routine). They did an absolutely amazing job watching Theo and I would highly recommend them!”

“Jesse and Kimmy took such good care of my shy fur baby while I was away! I appreciated the daily pics and updates assuring me she was well. Their set up is awesome with nice grass access. I came back to a very happy and well cared for girl. I got a keepsake photo, too!”


“Nina and Leo took very good care of my dog over a weekend, they were very kind during a misunderstanding we had and worked with me to make sure my dog was very safe and happy in their care. I’m torn between recommending them and wanting to keep them to myself since they were so good.”

“We’re so grateful for another amazing stay with Eddie & Elisha!! They are so attentive and communicative. Absolutely love receiving all the adorable pictures of Ginger during our time away. She plays so well with their sweet dog, Rusty! She can’t wait for her next boarding play date! :)”

“Matthew is a great caretaker to Benny. He had fun and had a great time with Matthew. I ran out of dog food and Matthew offered to get more while I was out of the country. Definitely will use Matthew again.”

“Siobhan and Guillermo took great care of Chutney - they shared some pics from her stay, and she came home tired which is always a good sign! We have already booked with them again and plan to use continuously in the future.”

“I would highly recommend boarding with Jifu. He and his wife took excellent care of our 8 month old Bichon. They sent video updates and Lucky always looked happy and engaged. We would not hesitate to have Jifu care for her again.”

“Jessica is amazing! She took Snow on fun adventures all weekend long, and she updated me every night with pictures and a recap of the day. I could tell that he was well-loved throughout his stay and got to play to his heart’s content. She was also very responsive in setting up a meet and greet and flexible with drop off/ pickup times. Thank you Jessica, we’ll see you again!”

“Sarai was awesome with my puppy! She took care of her, walked her daily, played with her and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt confident that my puppy was well taken care of while I was away.”

Stanford dog parents share their Rover experiences
Yun and Lina are very kind and caring. Tobin can definitely be naughty, he loves food and will try to eat anything he can, but he was well loved and comfortable in their home. I was out of the country for two weeks and they gave me regular updates throughout. Tobin did accidentally eat chocolate but Yun and Lina were very responsible and communicative, they brought him to the emergency vet and I was able to speak to them and the vet for Tobin’s treatment. Tobin was totally fine and remained happy at their home till I returned. I was put at ease as they were able to care for him even with the accident, and he was very relaxed when I brought him home.

When I met Jae on the meet & greet I knew she was a very conscientious dog owner and Bella would be in good hands. She took great care of her and she was open to taking Bella without a lot of prior notice. She sent photos and kept me informed on how Bella was getting along. I would not hesitate to leave Bella again with Jae.
