“Alla was great! Josh really enjoyed his stay and was nice and tired when he came home. She was kind and patient enough to put a diaper on him when he needed. Thank you so much!”

“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Irina was incredible with my two dogs, including one who required medication. She kept me updated with photos of them looking completely relaxed and happy. Irina was also incredibly accommodating to my needs for drop-off and pick-up. I will definitely use her services again!”
“I’m so grateful for Camille & Nadège! Jet was healthy and happy when I picked him up and enjoyed sunbathing and mingling with the other little ones. We will be back!”

“I'm so grateful Haley was able to watch my cat on such short notice. It means a lot knowing my cat is in good hands. I know my cat loves her, judging by all the sweet photos Haley sends. She's amazing and definitely my go-to cat sitter!”

“Lily was great! I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her! She also accommodated our travel schedule which was very helpful! Loved receiving photos and video as well! Thank you and we will book again!”

“Alex and Ksenia were so sweet! I had to leave town for a few days, and it was the first time since my other Chi, Snoopy, passed away, that I had to leave Teddy with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous. Teddy is a rescue and was abused, so you have to be extra-gentle with him. Alex made me feel comfortable the second I met him and his lovely girlfriend, Ksenia. They were so calm and nice. Every day, they sent me pics of my boy, and I could tell that he was super happy with the two of them. I was able to relax and focus on my friends' wedding instead of worrying about my pupper. When I came home, they dropped him off at my house, and he was so relaxed, he barely nodded hello at me ;-). I will be sure to book Alex and Ksenia again because they are both sweet and gentle souls, and I would trust them with my baby again, no doubt. Thank you, both of you! Teddy says woof, too ❤️❤️❤️”

“Yulia went above and beyond, took such amazing care of my dog Annie. Sent lots of photos and it really showed how much love she gave my pup. Would recommend her to anyone and will almost certainly book again.”

“Jillian took such good care of Dakota. She sent me daily updates and pictures and went above and beyond to make sure Dakota had a great stay. Highly recommend!”

“Jose and family were terrific sitters. Very calming energy for Ringo. Great communication from the start, photo updates each day. We were very reassured by their warm demeanor. They seemed to have a great visit, and our little guy was a good boy! They even packaged his little toys neatly for pickup! :) A+”

“Elena was fantastic! Barkley is a highly energetic pup and she managed to keep up with him. She took him on lengthy walks that he thoroughly enjoyed and we would absolutely let her watch Barkley again.”

“We had to leave our lab Mia with a sitter as we were traveling out of the state to visit family. Our nerves were instantly calmed by Alvin as he reassured us she is in good hands. He walked her and took her to the park and even sent us pictures everyday. When we picked her up, she looked very comfortable. We would definitely recommend Alvin!”
“Luliia is amazing! Our sitter canceled on us the lady before, and she was able to take muji the last mins for 3nights boarding! She responded quickly and sent us updated pics everyday! We will definitely rebook again!”

“Alyson + Katey were awesome! They took such great care of Breck + sent so many fun updates. They even took him on a little getaway to Palm Springs, what a treat! He can be quite the handful but had so much fun and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for solid pet sitters who will love on your animal as your own.”

“Linda was so sweet and accommodating for my very anxious cat. Super fast response time, which i really appreciate because I had a last minute booking. Will definitely rebook with her if I ever need Rover again.”

“Amber took great care of my senior dog while I was out of town! She was great with following medication instructions and provided daily photo updates, which I greatly appreciated. I had peace of mind on my trip knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Would highly recommend Amber!”

“Greg is great! He asked lots of questions to make sure she’d be comfortable and happy. Very kind and thorough, and gave me updates throughout the day with pictures and videos of how truffles was doing. She’s always a little sad after leaving someone she likes, and she’s already sitting here missing him. Thank you again Greg!! Glad you both had fun together! :)”

“Frankie got into a bit of mischief while staying with Justine which required a trip to urgent care and Justine couldn't have been better at handling everything! She stayed up the night with Frankie when she was sick, coordinated with the vet, and stayed at urgent care until I could get there. She went above and beyond the call of duty!!”

“Irina was great! Her communication was excellent, and it was clear she really liked Hudson. He seemed so happy and comfortable during his stay with her. Irina was attentive and careful about what he ate, and she took him on lovely walks. I felt completely at ease knowing Hudson was in such caring hands. Highly recommend!”

Universal City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rita was amazing! We haven’t felt so comfortable leaving our pup with someone in a while. Rita took such great care of our Archie and you can tell Rita loves animals and treats them like her own. We received updates everyday multiple times a day, which was so helpful and comforting for us to see our boy doing well throughout the day. I highly recommend Rita as a dog sitter!! Archie will be returning next time we need a sitter! Thank you so much Rita!!

Alla was wonderful with my puppy Simon! He was super happy and well-cared for the entire time. She kept me updated with how he was doing and sent plenty of cute photos, which I really appreciated. I felt totally at ease knowing he was with her. Highly recommend!

We knew Elena was a great fit as soon as we met her. She’s definitely a dog lover and we felt comfortable having her watch our baby, Birdie, for 2 weeks. Elena sent photos and updates. Birdie definitely had a great time while we were away. We’re very grateful to have found a great sitter and we definitely recommend Elena!

I’m so happy I found Chintha! It’s always nerve-racking to leave your baby with someone new for the first time, but she made sure I was comfortable and sent plenty of photos! She even was able to help out when my flight was cancelled and I had to extend my reservation. I would definitely book with her again! 😊

Like many others on Rover, Ahsoka is our baby and I can get anxiety from finding a sitter I feel I can trust. Eric came highly recommended by our usual trusted sitter and I could tell immediately that Ahsoka would enjoy her time with him. Eric is warm, friendly, flexible, communicative and makes you feel at ease. He sent daily updates, photos and videos. Ahsoka is very friendly but she only opens up to special people and Eric is one of those people! She is also a picky eater so I sent her with a ton of food options and Eric figured out different combos for her. We also needed to add an extra day and he was very accommodating. When I picked up Ahsoka she was of course very excited to see me but also kept looking back for Eric when he walked away from the car. That was such a great feeling. Would definitely recommend Eric to anyone looking for a sitter. Don't worry, your baby will be in excellent hands!

From the meet and greet to the 3 nights of boarding our two pups, Angie was excellent! She asked very thorough questions and was a stellar communicator throughout the whole process. We even had special care instructions for our biggest dog, who had a bandage on his paw, and she took great care of him! 10 out of 10 would recommend!!
Amber took great care of my senior dog while I was out of town! She was great with following medication instructions and provided daily photo updates, which I greatly appreciated. I had peace of mind on my trip knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Would highly recommend Amber!
