“Peppa had a great time with Tatiana. We felt very comfortable leaving Peppa with Tatiana. She is patient, calm and loving. Her home reflects that as well. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their furry one!”
“This is an absolutely fantastic choice for a dog-sitter, in my mind. Leslie was loving, caring and she treated Frances, my terrier-dachshund with the closest and kindest attention—plenty of walks, balanced diet, happy human company to sleep with when she desired, and various places to rest—so Leslie passed those all those important measures.She also sent me photographs with comments fairly often, which delighted me and made me know that Frances was safe and happy! But then, of Great value was the fact that she always could find positive human companionship—her cousin came, and let Frances and another dog, sleep on his knee, looking utterly content, her roommate really liked Frances and showed it, and Leslie did too. AND there was always her dog, and then occasionally a neighbor’s dog or another client’s dog visiting for a number of hours. That was Heaven for Frances, and just what I was hoping for. A place where Frances could be, as Leslie put it, a member of a pack. NOT a large, in any way overwhelming pack, but a small pack, consisting of one or two or conceivably three other dogs, which she could be with. THAT and the essential human warmth which was very much present—was all I could dream of—and Leslie provided it. Thank you so, so much. I will definitely use her services again! Leslie is cause for peace of mind, great happiness and satisfaction for Frances and me.”
“Our dog Bonnie is sensitive and she usually gets nervous when she goes to new places. However, when we met Jennifer for the first time, she immediately started to explore Jennifer's living room, and she seemed very relaxed. When we went to pick her up, she didn't want to leave for a while. That says she had a great time in Jennifer's place. Thank you very much, Jennifer and her family!”
“This was our 1st time boarding Lilly. Cesar was very friendly and responsive. He met with Lilly and I for a quick visit to see if the match would work. And it solidified us using him. He is kind, loves dogs and has a nice fenced in yard, so Lilly could play and just hang out with his dog. He sent pictures and assured us she was doing well. She was well cared for and happy. We will use Cesar again. Thank you Cesar.”
“Andrew took great care of our dog Apollo. I was apprehensive about using Rover for the first time, but Andrew quickly eased my concerns with his responsive messages and meet & greet with our dog. Apollo looked very content and well cared for when we picked him up - we’d definitely book with Andrew again and would recommend him to my friends!”
“Jill and her family made sure to keep our dog on his medication schedule and monitor his healing knee injury. It wasn’t an ideal time to go on vacation but Jill reassured me and explained to me that she had experience giving medication and that her home would be a safe environment. I came back to a happy dog that was moving better than when I had dropped him off.”
“Leslie took great care with our boys, Bodhi and Bear. This was the first time we left them with a pet sitter. It was reassuring to get regular updates and photos for our boys from Leslie. She did a wonderful job caring for them, giving them plenty of love and activity. They seemed to settle right in and had a great stay. I highly recommend Leslie and will use her again!”
“Highly Recommended! I couldn't be happier with the care Barfie received! Nalleli did an incredible job socializing him and kept me updated with daily photos and videos, which I truly appreciated. It was so clear he was happy, well-exercised, and loved—I'll definitely be booking again!”
“William took excellent care of my pup Iris while we were out of town for a short get away. William and his goldendoodle Maui were great hosts and Iris came home wore out from fun and playing. She was one happy dog.”
“Teddy spent 2 days with Ali and her family. He is still young and likes to play a lot and they spent plenty of time playing with him. He came home so tired he pretty much crashed the rest of the day! This is Teddy's first time at Ali's and only his 2nd with a pet sitter so receiving updates and pictures put my mind at ease. I would definitely book with Ali again.”
“Omar and his family took such great care of my Bella while I was away. From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in a warm, welcoming environment. She had a blast playing with the other dogs and soaking up all the attention they gave her. What really stood out was the communication. Omar kept me updated with messages, and pictures which made it so much easier being away from her. I could see she was happy, relaxed, and truly being cared for like one of their own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Bella came home happy, and that says everything.”
“Michelle was patient with Gizmo. She was always sending me updates and letting me know how he was doing. He is a very timid dog so he just followed her around and she was okay with that :)”
“Frankie had the best time at Karen’s while I was in town for a wedding! She sent me pictures and updates throughout the night. This was Frankie’s first Rover experience and I can’t lie - I was nervous about his separation anxiety. When I picked him up in the morning it was clear that he felt so comfortable around her and that made me so happy. 10/10 would book again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and I cannot imagine it being a better experience. Katie and Adam were simply amazing. After our meet and greet I knew Murphy (our 9 year old mini labradoodle) would be in good hands but wow, he was on vacation at a 5 star resort. They took such great care of him - took him on many walks, loved him and just all the way around treated him like part of their family. I actually think he might be a little depressed about being back home!”
“Heather and her wonderful family took amazing care or our Leo! They are obviously devoted dog people. I felt completely secure leaving our guy for more than 3 days, Leo was happily exhausted:) Will definitely rebook.”
“Elena is the greatest. My Scrappy had an extended stay with her and she took such good care of him. We got pictures and videos everyday and he was a happy dog. Highly recommend Elena.”
“Oh my goodness this lady is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. You can tell she really likes dogs and is so good with them. When she arrived, our dogs acted as though they knew her and loved her attention. Could tell through the pictures that she was just fantastic to them.”
“Joanna and John took amazing care of our dogs! They checked and double checked feeding times, what treats they are allowed, potty times, etc! We received detailed daily updates and photos. Our dogs stayed for 7 nights and were given baths at the end, and we were also sent home with a thoughtful gift! This is all after I changed the drop off and pick up times a bunch of times! The pups were very well taken care of and spoiled! I would highly recommend Joanna and John anytime! 😊😊😊”
“Satyam took great care of our 3 month old puppy. He sent pictures and updates throughout the visit and our puppy left very happy! We would recommend booking with Satyam.”

Cesar watched our dog Monty for the weekend while we were away. He is such a nice man and is great with animals! He has the perfect fenced in back yard for doggies to run and play. Our dog was in a great mood when we picked him up! We're looking forward to booking with him again in the future.
We had a last minute cancellation with another sitter due to a family emergency, and Ksenia was gracious enough to have us book last minute. She was accommodating to my dog’s needs and provided great care to him. We’re super grateful for her help and recommend her to watch your pet!
Buğra and Özden did a wonderful job watching my dog, Watson, for a few days. This was my first time finding a dog sitter via Rover, but they made me and Watson feel comfortable from the first time we met. I got regular updates while I was away and they were flexible and kind when my return got delayed. Watson warmed up to them quickly and was happy and healthy when I picked him up. I would absolutely recommend their services and I’m relieved to have found such great sitters for Watson in the future!
Sydney was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog. I appreciate Sydney being flexible and helping me out on short notice. She took really great care of my dog and sent me lots of picture updates while I was away, which I appreciated a lot. My dog looked very happy and got lots of exercise and cuddles
Kavagun and her family took good care of Penny while we were out. Daily updates with photos were so appreciated while we were away. I forgot to pack the toy for her and they even got her a squeaky toy for her ❤️ The family must have a great cook! Penny came home with a bit of food smell on her fur, which we didn’t mind but something to note/consider.
Zach and his family have been so helpful to us over the last few months! He is so great with our dogs and they have enjoyed his mid-day walks. We also have used Zach to watch the dogs at our house over longer trips and he always leaves the house cleaner than when he arrived! Highly recommend!
