“My guys (small dog and cat) have repeat stays with Amanda and Kevin and they always come back happy and healthy. They are great hosts and will continue to them into the future.”


“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Shirley for the weekend. He has separation anxiety and she was accommodating towards his needs to ensure he had a stress free stay with her. I appreciate how she was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. Would definitely hire her again!”


“Lisa took such great care of our mini-golden doodle. He had immediate play friends with her dog and another. She sent periodic updates and pictures and made us feel comfortable while he was in her care. We will definitely rely on Lisa again for dog sitting.”


“Grace and Wu were wonderful to our cats. They were very sweet and made us feel very comfortable with them. They gave us daily updates along with photos and videos which was great. Lucky for us we live close so drop off was a breeze. They even drop them off to us when we returned home which was super awesome. I highly recommend Grace and Wu to anyone looking for a kind caring and responsible responsive sitter for your precious pets.”


“Absolutely phenomenal! Our experience with Aritra was beyond exceptional. From the moment we dropped off our beloved furry friend, we knew they were in the best of hands. Professionalism and care were evident in every interaction. Aritra took the time to get to know our dog's personality, quirks, and preferences, ensuring a tailored experience. Their genuine love for animals shone through in the way they interacted with our pet, providing not just basic care but genuine companionship. Communication was outstanding throughout the entire stay. We received regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away knowing our dog was happy and well taken care of. The environment provided was safe, clean, and stimulating, offering plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and socialization. Our dog came back to us not just content but visibly enriched from the experience. In summary, Aritra goes above and beyond the call of duty, treating each furry guest as if they were their own. We cannot recommend them highly enough and will definitely be returning for future pet sitting needs. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter, look no further!"”



“I would like to start by saying, in general I am a skeptical person who does not trust people with my dog because like others, my dog is my child. With that being said, I needed a dog sitter short notice while I went on a family vacation to Africa and prior arrangements fell through. Hesitant, I knew that a sitter would be best for me because I didn’t like the idea of boarding him at a facility. My dog weighs 4 lbs and is still a puppy, he seeks love and companionship. While scrolling through Rover I found Diane and I am happy I did. She was amazing in every aspect. She kept me posted about my dog with text, videos, and pictures several times throughout the day. She gave him sooooo much love and affection, responded fast and answered any questions I might have. She was very accommodating to me and Kobe. She treated him like he was her dog. She even sent him off with a gift. I trust her so much and will be sure to book with her over and over again. Thank you so much Diane. If you are looking a for someone who will love and provide good, safe care for your dog please book Diane.”


“Michelle was fantastic with Bruno! She clearly cares deeply about the pets in her charge, and it shows. Bruno was happy and content when I picked him up, and I loved getting updates daily on the activities and on his adventures with Michelle. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care. We'll definitely be back!”


“Qin En took good care of my cat Echo while I was out of town. She sent me multiple pictures/videos a day so I can enjoy my vacation while making sure my cat is doing well. She genuinely loves cats and actually any animals! 😂 highly recommend 😊”


“Kristin is absolutely fantastic. She was quick with her reply, extremely communicative throughout my dog’s stay and most importantly my dog came back very happy. I would highly recommend Kristin and plan on using her again.”


“Wendy was amazing! She constantly sent updates about Oreo and was very responsive to my inquiries. I would not hesitate to recommend her and to use her services again.”


“Siyi is a wonderful dog sitter! She and Alex have watched my dog Hazel a few times and each time, they've provided high quality care. So consistent and caring! I trust them completely and strongly recommend. Thank you Siyi and Alex!”



“Cooper has stayed with Nicole twice so far and the second time I bought him to her house, he ran inside. She seems to be very attentive and is incredibly responsive. We’ll definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome experience for my dogs first boarding.”


“Yun Zhe was phenomenal! I loved the space she had for both my cats, I received daily updates, and she was very communicative. I will definitely be rebooking!”


“Super grateful for the care and love Marc and his family gave to Luna. Luna is usually an anxious dog, but she came home really happy. Marc also kept me updated and sent photos and videos!”


“I was very impressed with Jinay's responsiveness and attentiveness. She understood that I didn't want to constantly ask for updates about my baby because I was on vacation but wanted the peace of mind that she was ok, so she reassured me every day with voluntary quick message updates and even pictures. My sweet girl has a disability, and Jinay gave me peace of mind during our separation. Jinay was so sweet and caring, even hand-feeding my girl when she struggled to eat. She truly went above and beyond to ensure my baby was well taken care of. I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional care.”


“Trusting someone with our Theo for the first time was a big step for us. Our trip had been planned before we welcomed him into our family, and I even considered canceling it due to the anxiety of leaving him with a sitter. I’m so glad we found Juliana and her family. The relief I felt when we received updates with photos was immense—Theo looked happy and well cared for. Juliana provided daily updates and was always quick to respond when we checked in. Thank you @Juliana!”


“If you want your pup to feel like they're at a home away from home - book with Tina. She and her family (two young children who will entertain your dog endlessly) will provide a loving environment with lots of play and attention. I boarded my 7 year old pit mix for several days and he felt right at home immediately. Tina was great sharing photos and videos of Lincoln playing in the fenced in back and taking lots of walks (I think he thought twice about coming back home :)). So happy I found her.”


“Adriana to the rescue! We received a last minute cancellation from a dog sitter right before vacation and were in desperate need. Adriana was super responsive and put us at ease in such a short time. She was so good with our energetic pup and kept us updated with the cutest pictures! I personally feel our dog Chloe felt she was on vacation during her stay with Adriana. Thank you again!!”

University Gardens dog parents share their Rover experiences
I have a year and half old, high energy lab. We have not used a dog sitter before and didn't know what to expect. Tanu took great care of our dog. She posted multiple videos and pictures throughout the day. She took the dog for walks and other activities several times a day. Our dog was never put in the crate even though we provided one just in case. Couldn't be more happy with the service and highly recommend.

Anita and her partner are the best dog-sitters - we cannot express our gratitude enough for taking incredible care of our dog for a week! They are the most loving, thoughtful, caring, and kindhearted carers. We could tell how happy our dog was in their hands - smiling and running to their door, ready to find new toys to play with, and go on walks. They sent us constant updates, photos, and videos. We feel so lucky to have Scooter in their hands, especially when we were across the country! Please consider the highest recommendation we can give. Thank you to Anita and her partner a million times!

When you meet someone new I always feel you instantly know if they are the right kind of person to care for your pet, I was defintely right about Veronica! My Ollie-Boy had the BEST week staying with her, and I know all of his needs were met, he probably had more fun than at home! Thank you for being so loving and informative throughout his stay. Veronica was super responsive when I checked in, and went above and beyond with anything asked.

Marcia is truly the best! She took care of our Toy Poodle for 11 days and treated her with so much love and attention. Marcia has a wonderful personality—so warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She even picked up and dropped off our dog, which was such a huge help. She also constantly shared photos. We felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in great hands. Highly recommend her!

I’m so happy to have found Summer. Her and her family took care of Gracie like she’s their own dog. It was so comforting to know that she was cared for and loved! Gracie came home happy and we were able to go on vacation without worries. Thank you for the week and all the pics and photos!

Jun G is extremely accommodating generous and sincerely kind. My dog Beau doesn't even look back at me ounce he's with Jun lol. Sends lots of pics video and updates, she is wonderful, I feel very comfortable Beau is safe and in the very best personal home care, awesome 👌
