“Huaqing was absolutely phenomenal for my first-ever booking on Rover, and she deserves all five stars! I was quite anxious about leaving my rescue puppy, Willow, as he can be nervous and timid in new situations. Her communication was great and very thoughtful. She consistently sent detailed updates and photos focusing on the most important things: how Willow was eating, drinking, and actively playing throughout the day. This level of detail showed me she was truly monitoring and caring for Willow's well-being. The final touch was sending Willow home with a bag of treats and a very thoughtful written card—it showed she genuinely cares and goes the extra mile. I will definitely be rebooking! If you are a first-time Rover user or have a nervous dog, book Huaqing immediately”
“Radler had a great time being loved by Sergio & Bethany and their sweet family while we were out of town. The meet and greet was a wonderful way to put our mind at ease. We also received the cutest pictures letting us know Radler was happy and well taken care of.”
“Brooke and her family are great. Colt was well cared for and loved during his stay. He is an active dog with quite the peresonality, for us to find a home he can be well cared for and happy is beyond excellent! Thank you all for his care and being part of your family for his week away from home!”
“Macy was in great care and Pamela kept in contact with me over concerns about Macy not feeling well. Macy ended up being fine, but her communication with what was going on was much appreciated! Would definitely love to bring Macy back.”
“Eric was absolutely amazing. My little dog Harper had such a great time. He sent lots of updates pictures and videos and even surprised me with professional photoshoot pictures of her. We will definitely be booking again.”
“Kelly is an awesome sitter and is forever the one we'll go to when we need our dogs boarded. She is compassionate, loving and spoils them much to their delight.”
“Kelly helped us at the last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Great communication. She and Connor seemed to really love Pretzel. And Jeezy is an awesome laidback dog.”
“Alani was great with Nic! She contacted me everyday, and was very patient and understanding of me working with a new sitter. Her house is adorable, and so is her dog jack! They became fast friends which is saying a lot since my dog doesn’t get along with a lot of dogs! Will definitely use her again:)”
“We have enjoyed working with Tracy M. We were able to enjoy our week vacation because we knew the girls were being taken well care of. Tracy kept us updated with pictures on how the girls (2 yorkies) were doing.”
“She was wonderful!!! Not only did she handle my chaotic energy when I showed up (doesn’t happen often but that day was something else) she was also so attentive to my dog and love him like her own. She sent me updates and pictures and even dropped him off at my cousins for me, which I greatly appreciated! This was my 1st time leaving him alone with someone I have never met and I was honestly never stressed about what was going on or if he was being loved or taken care of well! She did absolutely amazing!! My dog has some quirks but they never seemed to bother her! Will definitely rebook next time I need a sitter and would 110% recommend her to anyone!”
“Stacy is absolutely AMAZING!!! The kindest and most lovely lady, and an even better sitter! She took spectacular care of my senior dog Ernie while I was gone for a week & a half and he absolutely loved staying in her lovely home. Stacy is the best, look no further for the perfect sitter! Thank you Stacy I will definitely book again!”
“Christian and Hana were wonderful! We got regular updates on how our pup was doing (complete with adorable photos) which made us feel so much better about being away from her. I'd definitely have Vee stay with them again!”
“Coco had another wonderful vacation at Adriana and Kayla’s. When we pulled up to her house, he was very excited. He pulled me on the leash all the way up to her front door. That is not what he normally does and it made me laugh. It is such a blessing to know, that when we drop him off with Adriana that he is well taken care of his needs are met and exceeded. She sends great pictures and I get to see that he is having a great time and he’s also getting his rest and at his age he needs his rest. I highly recommend Adriana her home is beautiful, warm and caring.”
“Cindy is a great sitter and really understands our fuball’s routines. Gus has IVDD, needs eye drops 3x per day and lots of love and attention - Cindy helps in all these areas!”
“Buddy had a great time with Kim! She kept him active - took him on lots of walks, played fetch, and practiced his tricks. I received daily updates with cute photos while I was away. Buddy is looking forward to staying with Kim again in a few weeks!”
“This was our first time using rover so we were pretty nervous about leaving our fur babies with someone for a couple days but we are glad we did! Susan and Peter are so nice and took such great care of our dogs, and they updated us with photos and videos of our dogs! While we were on a vacation so were they. By the photos and picking them up you most definitely could tell the dogs had a good time which made me feel comfortable knowing that they were in good hands while we were away. We definitely will be booking again! Thank you so much Susan and Peter we appreciate you guys for taking such good care of our babies.”
“We are so thankful to Angela and her family for taking such wonderful care of Minnie. She’s a sensitive little dog, but the calm, happy look on her face when we picked her up said everything about the love and kindness you all showed her. Thank you for giving Minnie such a gentle and loving stay!”
“Marina is awesome! You can tell that she loves dogs and understands their unique temperaments. She sent many pictures and videos during my pup’s stay, which were always a treat. Also, she has the most beautiful, big, grassy backyard for the dogs to play in. My pup came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. Thank you, Marina!”
“Made my pup feel right at home, right away, and usually that takes him a minute because he’s a nervous boy! He loved his stay so much I’m sure he didn’t want to come home! Would definitely have Ana watch him again, any day! She sent so many picture updates which was great because we missed him!”

Absolutely amazing experience! My dog was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for during the stay. I received frequent updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout the booking. I truly appreciated the care and attention given to my dog and would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommend!!!!!!
If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog, I can’t recommend Rachel enough. I always struggle with leaving Winston because I worry about whether he’s happy, comfortable, and getting the attention he needs. From the moment I dropped him off, Rachel’s organized and efficient system made me feel so much more at ease. Everything was well thought out, communication was clear, and I immediately felt like Winston was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Rachel sent videos and updates every single day and was incredibly responsive whenever I had questions. Seeing Winston happy, playing, and genuinely enjoying himself in every video meant so much to me. The biggest testament to the care she provided was Winston himself. After previous boarding experiences, he’s come home anxious, exhausted, or needing a few days to settle back in. This time was completely different. He came home happy, relaxed, and acting like his normal self from the moment I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for and felt comfortable during his stay. Rachel took away so much of the stress and anxiety I normally feel when leaving my dog. Knowing he was safe, loved, and having fun allowed me to actually enjoy my time away instead of constantly worrying. That’s something I don’t take lightly. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Winston, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation.
I had a wonderful experience with this sitter and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Throughout the stay, my dog appeared happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. It was clear that she provided a safe, attentive, and loving environment. I had no concerns or complaints at any point and was very pleased with the level of care and communication provided. I would absolutely recommend her to others looking for a trustworthy sitter and would not hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!
Brittany took great care of Millie and was extremely kind, responsive and sent updates and pictures consistently throughout the week. This was Millie's first time away from home and Brittany was very mindful of that. I was really put at ease and felt like she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Brittany to anyone and she'll be my first call if I ever need a sitter!
Rachael was an absolute delight from the beginning. TRUSTWORTHY, FRIENDLY, THOUGHTFUL, HUMBLE, WITH A GOOD HEART I could sense she was truly excited to have a dog to love and care for. For us, she was BEYOND what we expected in a good sitter. Our Shepsky hasnt been with us an entire year yet so while she is a good girl, we were reserved wondering if she would feel comfortable and how she'd settle in around strangers. Within a few hours I got a couple of the pictures I needed. Belly up on the couch with some good people and good pets. Rachael seems to know dogs well but is incredibly humble which I believe is SUPER important when it comes to keeping dogs safe and not making assumptions. When our dog was returned to us she was tired and even more friendly and settled in than when we dropped her off. I can tell she was spoiled! Upon eye contact she is now gushing and loving up on people. (Sorry, have to add: she was a day away from euthanasia when I picked her up at the shelter and to see her leave Rachael's home a happy, perfect little princess made me cry) So thankful for Rachael's care!
10000/10!!! We felt so comfortable leaving Mochi with Huaqing. She took such great care of him and showed him the same love we give at home. She shared daily updates and pictures, which was reassuring as we were so far away. I could tell he was comfortable as well by the cuddly pictures of him, it made me happy to see he felt safe. She was also very careful with his dietary needs and made sure to follow the instructions we shared. She’s truly a gem 😊
Honestly couldn’t have asked for better dog sitters! They were great with communication and sending loads of updates on my pups as I was out of state getting married. They played a bunch with Bendu who is a very active and pet Sandy who only wants love. I can’t say enough positive things! They are amazing ❤️

Ashley was an amazing dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout Macy’s stay with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Macy clearly enjoyed staying with her and was very well taken care of. I would definitely trust her to watch Macy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
