“Reba was absolutely amazing! She watched our 1 year old corgi overnight at her house and he had a blast. She sent plenty of pictures and videos and our pup got so much love, play time, and cuddles. It was over 100 degrees when Archie stayed with Reba and we really appreciated how cautious she was about the dogs being in the heat for too long and made sure they were cooled off and hydrated. We will absolute be booking with Reba again and I know Archie can’t wait!”


“Nala had a great time staying with Dustin and Margaret and family while we were away on vacation! They took great care of our senior dog and gave her all the love and attention. We're very appreciative of them taking her and making her feel right at home! And we loved the photos shared throughout her stay!”


“Ben took excellent care of my dog, Willa, during her four-night stay at his home. From the moment she arrived, she was instantly comfortable with him. He sent daily photo updates, showing Willa happy, relaxed, and enjoying her time. I especially appreciated that he allowed her on the furniture and even let her sleep in his bed, which made her feel right at home. Beyond being a great sitter, Ben is super chill and easy to get along with, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It’s clear he truly cares for the dogs he watches, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again!”


“My ChiChi felt so at home and so loved! Pictures were sent often. I love pet sitters that are actually PET LOVERS! I will use Ivy again and again! And an added bonus, very close to the airport.”


“Absolutely amazing. It was our first ever sitter experience and I could not have asked for a better one.

Would definitely recommend them!”

“Annie was a wonderful dog sitter for Hertz! We felt very comfortable leaving him with her, even for an extended stay. He was very well cared for and well loved. Her communication was always very prompt and we appreciated her flexibility with pick-up/drop-off times when our plans changes last minute. We will absolutely be asking her to watch Hertz for us again in the future!”


“Last minute Aaron was able to board my dog for the weekend. She taught him how to swim while he was there in her pool! I was able to contact her everyday to see how he was doing since this was the first time I had ever left him with anyone. I truly appreciated that confidence of know he was doing well in her care!! She is so sweet, kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!!”

They also had fun playing with her fur baby and cannot wait to go back!”



“We just picked up our pupper, Pepper, after a weekend stay with Lesley. She was able to accommodate us for a last minute booking and took excellent care of her. Pepper loved playing with Lesley’s dogs and came home one happy and tired camper! We’ll definitely be using her again if the need arises.”

University City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Blerta was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute booking. Our dog, Lucy, had a wonderful time with Blerta. I would highly recommend and will book with her over and over again. I received great communication and pictures of Lucy doing all her favorite things.

Sure! Here's a polished version of your message: --- Monica took absolutely wonderful care of my dog—truly as if he were her own. She was easy to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up, sent great photos of him enjoying all his favorite activities, and provided thoughtful updates whenever I asked about how he was adjusting to a new environment and caregiver. I would recommend her without hesitation!

Luna had a fabulous time staying at Pam's! Pam is a great communicator and was amazing to work with. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with a non-family member for the first time. I also got sent cute pics and updates which were much appreciated. Luna came back as a happy pup, as if we had never been gone. She was clearly well cared for and loved on while I was away, and I'm so thankful. We will definitely be contacting Pam again in the future.

Megan and Jacob are great! They’re reliable, easy to communicate with and most importantly seem to really care for and “get” my pup Fiona. They accept her quirks and go out of their way to make sure she’s comfortable in their home. I’m able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing that Fiona is in such good hands.
