“Morgan was amazing!! She went out of her way to accommodate me when I realized her house was farther than I thought and met me halfway to pick up my dog. She sent updates in the evening and morning with pictures of my dog! Her kids are so so sweet and it’s clear they love animals. Frankie (my pup) was very well taken care of and loved for the one night she was there!”

“We had such a great experience! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures, gave her walks, even gave her a bath, and clearly treated her like part of the family. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating with pickup, which made everything so much less stressful for us. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend and would absolutely book with her again!”

“Lauren was great and sent lots of cute pictures. She worked with me in very short notice with my last minute plan changes. She was always very responsive and let me k ow my dog was ok and in great hands!”
“Aryn is amazing. My family and I had to leave on a short-notice trip, and she was very flexible scheduling a meet-and-greet as well as pick-up and drop-off. She was detail oriented, kind, and loving to our pup. Our dog is a mini-golden doodle and she’s spoiled, so she tends to be needy and requires a lot of attention. Aryn sent pictures, provided updates, and asked questions when she had them. She was excellent at messaging to give updates on Peanut so I didn’t have to worry about how she was doing. When I picked her up, Peanut wasn’t stressed and looked exactly as she did when I dropped her off. This experience has been the gold standard for what I expect from a boarder and I can’t thank her enough for loving our pup while we had to travel!”

“This was our first Rover experience and we found a wonderful sitter in Ashley! Our dog has separation anxiety and we were worried that being in a completely foreign environment would wig her out, but she settled in nicely with their dog and human pack. I appreciated that they tended to her needs: daily walks, being cool with letting her on the furniture, and allowing her to sleep in their bedrooms since she likes to be near humans all the time. I received prompt replies when I checked in and messages with photos each day. Thanks to Ashley’s kids too, I love that Ashley and her family are all in it together, this is a household that truly loves dogs!”

“Amazing experience! Michael was fantastic with my dog, Niko! He was very attentive and made sure Niko had his daily walks and two meals a day. Michael spent time playing with him and kept me updated 2–3 times a day with texts and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Niko looked happy and well cared for the whole time. I’ll definitely be bringing Niko back to Michael again—highly recommend!”

“Charline treated Eduardo just like family. She also saved us at the last minute from a same-day cancellation from another sitter. I would 100% recommend and I'd trust her with my best friend anytime. Thanks again Charline!”

“Rachel was absolutely fantastic with our dog, Hazel, while we were away for 5 days. From the beginning, she was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Hazel looked so happy and comfortable in every update! When we picked her up, it was obvious she had been well cared for and loved. We’re so grateful to have found Rachel and will definitely be reaching out to her for future stays. Highly recommend!”

“My young energetic 8 month old had such a good time with Juliana and Kiko! She took such good care of him and I got so many pictures and videos. Definitely recommend!!!”

“Sarah and family were fabulous. We hold tell from the pictures our Penny had the vacation of her life. She absolutely loved every minute playing and enjoying her stay.”

“Communication was perfect and works with your pets flaws in a very caring and understanding way. My boiz felt safe and came out of the boarding experience happy!”


“We are so thankful for Megan!! Being newly to the area Megan was able to do a meet and greet before our weekend away. Our pup spent 4 days with her and loved every minute of it. We appreciated the updates and photos. Once she came home and slept for hours! We will definitely use Megan again in the future.”

“We were so pleased with Jan. She went above and beyond to take special care of our elderly fur baby. And she kept us informed and sent photos while we had to be away. I would highly recommend Jan!”

“We left our basset hound with Skylar for a few days, and she was fantastic! She was professional, kept us updated with frequent pictures, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our pup came back happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Skylar to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“Kierra is wonderful and so sweet with my pup. Ollie absolutely enjoyed his stay and loved all the attention he was given. His experience was so wonderful, he'll be returning to see Kierra again.”

“Araceli did an excellent job with our somewhat hyper Boston Terrier. She made sure to follow the feeding schedule and other little screwy things we do for our dog. Our dog came back happy and healthy like we left her 8 days earlier.”

“t was our first time booking with Dae, and she will absolutely be our first choice whenever we need a sitter again! The booking process was seamless, her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated throughout our pup’s stay, giving us complete peace of mind. When our dog came home, it was clear she had been wonderfully cared for and treated like family. Dae truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring pet sitter. She’s simply the best!”

“Max loves staying at Tamara‘s house. He’s always excited to go and has a wonderful time. He plays all day. She’s very attentive to him and goes to extra mile to care for him. He came home very tired and happy.”

“Teryca was great! This was my first experience with Rover and she made it great. She took care of Petey like he was her own. I received regular feedback and pictures during the time Petey was in her care. Thank you so much Teryca!”

10 out of 10... Highly Recommend! This was my first time using this sitter, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. She took amazing care of my fur baby and truly spoiled him all weekend! He made himself right at home and seemed just as comfortable in her home as he is in his own. She was incredibly loving and attentive, and I could tell he was receiving lots of affection and care. She also sent multiple photos and updates throughout his stay, which really put my mind at ease since I was using a new sitter for the first time. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for made all the difference. I would absolutely trust her with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 10 out of 10!

Mechea was a great sitter for my dog Liko! She communicated regularly and promptly from the booking throughout his entire stay. She made us both feel comfortable and has such a pleasant demeanor. I would absolutely rebook if she’s willing to host Liko again in the future. 🤗
