“Isabella was so so great with our dog, Benji! She kept us updated on how he was each day and really went the extra mile with making sure Benji was comfortable. Really appreciate the great care and I wouldn’t think twice about leaving my dog with her again ! ❤️”

“Jessica is amazing! She sent TONS of high quality photos of our dog every day. We can tell she took great care of him and he had an awesome time. We would definitely recommend her and plan on boarding our dog with her again!”

“Wow Alexa and her family go above and beyond in making sure your fur baby is well taken care of, and that you are thoroughly communicated with every step of the way. Truly, she is an exceptional sitter, and Stella came home well-rested, comfortable, and anxiety free (rare for her!!!). Expectations entirely exceeded!! Thank you!!”

“Lucy loved her time with Casey and Ron. She got tons of love and activity and came back home super happy. Now she pulls towards their house when we go for walks. 10/10 would use again.”

“Yingqi was outstanding. Very communicative sending photos and videos and took excellent care of our dog. I felt comfortable knowing that she was in great hands and my dog looked really happy being there. Would definitely book again!”

“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”

“Jerica is great! We found her on Rover 3 weeks before our 8-day trip when our regular dog sitter would not be available. I was nervous leaving Archie with a new sitter at first, but she took great care of Archie. Jerica works from home. She has a yard and an adorable corgi so our beagle had someone to play with. Jerica took Archie on walks with her corgi and let Archie snuggle with her at night. It worked out great. She kept us updated every day and sent us lots of photos. We would definitely book with her again in the future.”

“Carolyn was an excellent host. Junior had a blast and came back happy and tired from all the playing and fun. When I picked him up he was so happy with Carolyn that he didnt want to get in the car.”

“This was my first time boarding Nico with Ana. Our meet and greet went very well. Ana is kind, friendly, and asked plenty of questions about Nico’s needs and preferences. I left feeling very comfortable moving forward with the booking. Nico was so well cared for while staying with Ana. Not only does she care deeply for animals, she understands how it must feel to leave your pet with someone else. She was very quick to reply to any messages and sent lots of updates and photos while we were away. Great communication and I would 100% recommend Ana as a fantastic pet sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’ll definitely have Nico stay with Ana again in the future.”


“Ponyo did a great job helping my pup feel comfortable with a pet sitter for the first time! Thanks for the regular updates so I knew he was doing well and in good hands!”

“Jiani provided attentive care for my cat while we were away for a week. My cat, Todie, stayed with Jiani at her place, and Todie is usually very shy and nervous in new places. With frequent photo updates from Jiani, I was able to tell that Todie grew comfortable in her care rather quickly, and it relieved much stress on my end. Jiani was very flexible with picking up Todie and dropping her back off, too, which made planning easy for me! I will absolutely rebook with Jiani in the future!”

“Adam was super responsive and took great care of boomer, on short notice no less. He made sure to get all the info for care on boomer at a meet and greet and was very communicative! I could tell boomer was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. Would def recommend Adam for anyone looking for exceptional care!”


“Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.”

“Lorena and her hubby were excellent caretakers for our pup. They sent pictures and reports every day, which showed the pup was happy and having fun. Softies that they are, the pup slept with them. I could not be any happier about the love and care they showered on our dog, and I hope they are available whenever I need a place to leave her. I recommend them to anyone. You and your dog will be happy.”

“Felix was an incredible dog-sitter! Shared lots of photos and videos, plus humorous 2x daily summaries of our quirky dog’s adventures, leaving me confident our Pug was having fun, well loved and cared for! Our dog got along great with Felix and his Boxer! Felix provided prompt and thorough feedback. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Cheryl was fantastic! She took great care of my cats while I was away and provided detailed updates and pictures daily. I will definitely board my cats with Cheryl again when I'm back on vacation!”


“Ellie was a fantastic host to our husky Pepper. She is extremely attentive and made sure that Pepper got enough daily exercise and also plenty of snuggles during their downtime. We love that Pepper gets along so well with Ellie’s sweet dog Bear. Overall our dog had a great time and would absolutely book with Ellie in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”

“My dog had a great time with Erica, Sloane and their 3 dogs. Erica provided regular updates with lots of photos that gave me piece of mind that my dog was comfortable and well taken care of. I also appreciated their flexibility on pickup and drop off. Would recommend and book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - University District
This was our first time booking with Jaden as our usual Rover sitter was unavailable. We were a bit nervous since this was a long trip we were leaving our dog Autzen for. But Jaden was amazing and took great care of Autzen and he came home very happy. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying and all was a great experience. Would definitely book again!

Ethan took great care of our dog, Leya! He communicated if there was any issues and let us know how she was doing. We appreciated his understanding of our girl, as she requires some patience with twice/day medicine and needing to adjust to new places on the first days. We were also grateful that he helped us with our last minute request. We would be happy having him take care of our pup again!

Egor took excellent care of our anxious dog, Kropka! This was our first experience using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better one. Egor was incredibly patient with all of our requests and gave our dog a wonderful time while we were away. He took the time to send detailed updates, was easy to communicate with, and always responded quickly. Kropka came home relaxed, happy, and ready to play, which told us everything we needed to know about how well she was cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Egor again!

Harlene was AMAZING w our high energy Kovi. She gave ample updates and provided so many cute pictures that really kept our minds at ease while we were away! We knew Kovi was super comfortable with her because while he usually puts on little hunger strikes while he’s boarded, he ate up all his food immediately when given by Harlene. Couldn’t recommend enough!☺️

Zach came in clutch and watched Theo after our other sitter plan fell through last minute, even though it conflicted with his availability. This was only Theo’s second stay with Zach and Maya, but he ran right up to the house so excited to play and explore. Zach always takes such great care of Theo and keeps us updated when we are away. Theo got lots of snuggles, walks and trips to the park. Zach is so patient and loving towards our boy. We feel like we are dropping him off at a good friend’s and feel comforted that Theo is in good hands. Can’t recommended Zach enough!

Zhongni was a great sitter. She had plenty toys for Scooby to enjoy. She sent me great photos of my pup having the best time of his life. She took him on a few walks and he slept like a baby during the night. She was very responsive. I'd definitely plan to book with her in the future.
