“Susan is a Terrific pet sitter! She kept us updated daily with pictures and highlights. She is an experienced dog lover who we felt very comfortable with watching our aging Frenchie🐶”
“This was my first time leaving my puppy (and I'm also a first time dog Mom)...but Rachel made my first experience so pleasant. She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated with pictures and videos.”
“Saumya and Gaurav took great care of our dog Coco. They sent constant updates and pictures and very accommodating and accessible. Really appreciate all the help and we will definitely leave Coco again with them, as we now feel we have a trusted family to take care of our pet.”
“I had a great experience boarding my cat with Svetlana through Rover! From the start, they were friendly, and responsive. Throughout the stay, I received regular picture and video updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands. It was obvious my cat was comfortable and well-cared for! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
“Zcarina is awesome! This was our first time having our dog Shelby watched and I felt very comfortable having Zcarina take care of her. She had excellent communication right from the beginning when setting it up, and kept in touch with a ton of pictures during our trip. Shelby came home very happy and well cared for (and clean too after a bath!). I will definitely contact Zcarina again for future trips!”
“Kona had a fun time with An and her family! We appreciated the many photos and videos she shared of Kona’s visit. She took good care of Kona. We would absolutely book with An again!”
“Shipra took great care of my dog Casey. She tried to understand her by asking about her detailed routine ahead of time. She genuinely cared about her and made sure she ate properly and asked questions so she was well taken care of. I received update photos and felt assured Casey was comfortable and enjoyed her stay under her care. I can't thank enough for Shipra and her lovely family for giving Casey a home away from home.”
“Sameer, Reyna, and their kids are pretty much Helo's second family! By now, he knows the drill. This recent visit we dropped him off and Helo just walked casually into their house, laid down and had a face like "I'm in good hands, you can go now." We always feel at ease when we drop off our pup because we know he is very well taken care of. Helo comes home happy, well-played, and always excited to come back next time. I try to book well in advance because Sameer and his family get booked up so fast since everyone knows they are amazing dog lovers and care takers! Sameer and Reyna, we will forever stay and be your repeat customers!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
“I was on a business trip and Kodi stayed with Sharmistha for 5 days. He had so much fun that he was not so happy when he saw me when I wanted to pick him up. 😂 Thank you so much Sharmistha and see you soon❤️”
“We absolutely loved the care Sony received! Navneet treated him with so much love, patience, and attention, as if he were her own dog. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Sony was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout his stay. We truly appreciate the updates and the genuine affection she showed him. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care! 🐾💕”
“The family clearly loves dogs and their dog Prince is true to his name. He buddied up with our lab so quickly at the meet and greet and they played the entire time. Our dog was so excited to visit after that one meeting. It’s clear they have been doing this a long time and we will definitely be going back !”
“Our pup stayed with Dyan and her family for his first time away from us. He had a great time. Dyan sent pics and videos of him playing with her kids and the other dogs she was caring for. He resisted getting in the car to come home! 😊 We will definitely have him stay with Dyan next time we need a sitter.”

“Mitchell did an amazing job taking care of my cats. He is extremely responsible, reliable, and genuinely caring. He followed all feeding instructions carefully, kept everything clean and organized, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. He also provided timely updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. My cats can be shy, but they warmed up to him quickly, which really shows his patience and love for animals！”
“We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛”
“Yongxin was great. My cat isn’t eating much lately and having some medical issues and Yongxin took the food to where he was and encouraged him to eat. She even fed my fish and mist my lizard’s enclosure. She sent plenty of pictures and provided updates to let me know what was done and how much my cat ate. I will be using her services again.”
“Qiuwen is such a great cat sitter! She is super patient with my cats, she is very detail oriented, and she was able to follow my instructions precisely. I would definitely book again!”
“Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!”
“Wenyuan took great care of my cat, Forest. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and took the time to pet and play with him. Forest seemed to really enjoy Wenyuan’s company. I would definitely ask her to watch him again in the future.”
“There is no one you should trust more than Jen with looking after your pets. We’ve used her for check-ins for our cat Bella and she gives excellent service each and every time. She takes the time to not only make sure Bella has her basics taken care of but also takes the time to play with her tool. Jen provides detailed photos and feedback every visit and it makes a big difference knowing Jen is taking care of our cat anytime my wife and I are away.”
“Emma made my cat Jack feel welcome and at home! She sent me pictures regularly of him throughout his stay. I truly felt that Jack was well cared for and given lots of attention while I was gone. I’m definitely booking with her again!”
“Bailey was great and Lanikai loved her :). She sent pics to us and we felt very comfortable that Lanikai was in great hands. We’ll definitely have Bailey watch Lanikai again!”
“Megan is awesome with our cats! We have 2 cats, 1 of which is a really shy and skittish cat, and Megan is very patient and genuinely cares for them. We accidentally left our skittish cat locked in the balcony (Yikes!!!) and Megan made sure to locate her and not just brush aside her absence as 'shy and hiding away'. We are so grateful to Megan for helping us. 10/10 recommend her service!!!”
“We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care our cat, Milo, has received from Yanhong. She has been attentive, compassionate, and professional throughout her time looking after him. Not only does she ensure Milo’s physical needs are met—feeding, refreshing his water, grooming, and playing with him—but she also pays close attention to his mental well-being, keeping him comfortable and happy. What we especially appreciate is how regularly she updates us on Milo’s condition, sharing detailed notes and photos that give us peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about Milo and treats him like her own pet. We highly recommend Yanhong to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and responsible cat sitter.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care while enjoying creating fine art on the side. I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
“What a God send Sandra is. I am halfway across the world and the way she cares for my fur baby brought me peace of mind. So glad to have found her and I’m sure my Loki boy feels the same way.”
“Shiyin took great care of my cats! She sent lots of photos and my cats looked very happy. The place looked very clean as well. I can tell that she really cared for my cat as if she is her own. I highly recommend her services.”
“Chalise was PHENOMENAL. She took a lot of notes when we met, and she continued to be just as attentive during the visits. Her report cards were helpful and put me at ease because she clearly played with them a lot, and I came home to a house that looked cleaner than I left it. Also, I won't go into too much detail but I messed up and that threw a big wrench in her visits, but she was incredibly flexible and cooperative and so generous. Will definitely use again.”
“Thank you for taking care of our kitty! This is the second time Leilani has taken care of our pet, and she is great at leaving us updates and pictures, even if the kitty is reluctant to come out. Thank you!”

“Thank goodness for Ashley for watching our doggies while we unpack from our move. Thank you for taking care of them and being patient with Daisy 🌼 she’s a little bit nervous about new environments and new surroundings .”
“My Siberian Husky has such a special bond with Fiona and her family! He runs to their door and is very impatient to go inside their house - his Tractive collar shows he gets hours of activity, and he always comes home tired and happy beyond what I could imagine. Definitely the best Rover we’ve ever had!”
“First time leaving my dog with a sitter in the 10 years I've had him. Zcarina was so kind with my nervous senior doggy. She sent lots of update photos, and I felt that he was in very good hands.”
“We had a wonderful experience starting with our initial meet to Sunayana and her family welcoming Shelby( our gsd mix) to her home.She was welcomed and taken care of with patience.We appreciated timely updates and beautiful pictures.”
“We left our 4 yr old dog with Rachna, and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay. He came back happy at the end of the day. She took good care of him. This was first time our dog stayed with another dog and a cat, and they all got along fine. Rachna also sent pictures. Overall, we were very satisfied and happy with her. Will of course use her services again in future. Thanks Rachna.”

“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”
“Anna is literally the best person. She is very responsive and takes care good care of our puppy every time we left with her. She was available more than few times even on a short notice. Her home became a second home for our puppy whenever we go out and we know our puppy is in good hands with her.”
“Tongwei and his pup, Leo are great! Our dog was well taken care of and had everything that he needed during his stay. We received plenty of updates and communication was easy. Our dog came home tired and happy, the way we like it. Would recommend Tongwei and his home over and over again. Don’t hesitate to book with him, you and your pup will not regret it!”
“A was wonderful with Bear. She was very accommodating in letting me drop him off very early in the morning and understanding when I was running late picking him up. Her home is warm and inviting and she made sure to send pictures throughout the day. I can tell my baby was very comfortable and I was very happy and will have A watch him again in the future.”
“Carolyn provided a warm, comfortable home for our pup and pampered her with lots of attention and care. Communication, updates, and photos were timely and appreciated! Carolyn is responsive and demonstrates a high level of care for the wellbeing and happiness of the pups.”
“Mariel took excellent care of our Schnoodle puppy (6 most old). He had just been neutered and had some specific needs as well as some undesirable behaviors. Mariel and her family (human and canine) were extremely patient and accommodating. I highly recommend her and would love to have her care for him in the future.”
“Kristi is communicative, takes lots of pictures, and loves dogs! She has sat for bandit at least 5 times now and every time I’m so happy with her! I get plenty of pictures on him relaxing or out on the walks, and for a little boy with big separation anxiety, it makes me so happy to see that he’s fit in with Kristi and her pups!”
“Leena is very nice and her home is setup perfectly to watch your fur babies. Her dog Prince is a sweet boy too. She provides walks, updates, pictures, and everything you can ask for from a sitter.”
“Sneha provided excellent care for our dog today. She was very attentive to our pup and provided many updates and pictures! We appreciate her reliability and would absolutely bring back our puppy :)”
“Could not ask for a better dog sitting family! Their house is very dog friendly! They took exceptional care of my very energetic 6 month old Aussie puppy!...could not be happier with them...strongly suggest!”

About: I have grown up surrounded by pets of all kinds. Our family loves animals. We took care of our senior dog of 16 years and have experience with the special needs of a senior pet. We now have a sweet Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat. We are comfortable with dogs of all ages and will provide special care for your pet as needed. We are working from home on a regular basis so there will always be someone with your pet to look after and care for them.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, specifically cats. I love working with animals and used to volunteer at Valley Humane Society! I also worked at the SD Zoo Safari Park for a few months before having to leave to focus on school. I just graduated from college and have the summer free! I’m pretty flexible but really prefer notice. I will always try my best to accommodate your needs! I cannot bring animals to stay in my home, but I will take the best care of your pet! I always prioritize safety whether it’s closing gates or keeping animals separate from others
“Jenarae was on time and professional. She took notes and was ready to work with our pups. She was patient with our pups, as each one has individual needs and she was able to modify her style to accommodate them.”
About: As a devoted pet owner and active foster volunteer, caring for animals is a huge part of my daily life. I currently care for my own dog, two male cats and regularly foster kittens, giving me hands-on experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and young kittens. I'm attentive to details, reliable, and committed to providing regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind during your time away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Pets are a big part of my daily routine. I start each day by feeding my resident dog and foster kittens, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water bowls, and making sure everyone gets the attention they need. Throughout the day, I incorporate walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection into my schedule. Because I foster kittens, I'm experienced in maintaining consistent feeding schedules, monitoring behavior and health, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for animals of all ages. Caring for pets isn't something I fit into my routine—it's already a regular part of my life and something I genuinely enjoy every day. When caring for pets, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I follow each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication instructions (if applicable), and any other care preferences provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, enrichment, and affection while their family is away. During dog walks, I prioritize safety and tailor the walk to the dog's energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I ensure pets have fresh water, are fed, have potty breaks, and get quality one-on-one interaction. As a pet owner and foster volunteer, I understand the importance of trust and communication. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have always been in the childcare and education field, and the last few years has brought me to the world of dog sitting! Dogs tend to become very comfortable with me right away! I wake up early for walks, and your pup will receive about 3 per day, including lots of ball and toy tosses and tons of love and attention! I live in a condo with a spacious living room for plenty of play and to keep crates and beds. Walks are always leashed. Pups are allowed on the couch and in bed. Snuggles are very important!

“First time using Leilani’s walking services for our dog. We used her for 14days. We met prior to the service and I could tell my dog loved her instantly. She took the time to get to know my dog. She discovered a hotspot on our dog and she assisted with applying the medication as well. She sent pictures of our dog during their walks. I would definitely use Leilani again in the future.”
About: Since 2023, I’ve volunteered at a high-risk animal shelter, working with animals who needed extra care, patience, and love to feel safe. I also have two pets of my own, so I understand how much they mean to you! In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals, including dogs, cats, and even a chicken ! so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I also have a lot of experience working with pets that are anxious and fearful. I always treat your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-behaved while in my care. And don’t worry, I welcome all the loving, protective “helicopter pet parents” out there, because I’m one too! My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work around what’s best for you and your pets. I’m generally available any day of the week, and mornings work especially well for me. I can also help out on weekends! I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free of hazards, whether that means checking gates and doors, keeping toxic items out of reach, or creating a calm space for shy pets. Don’t be afraid to ask for pictures every hour because I do that too! In your home, I follow your instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. If caring for pets in my home, I will always provide a safe and cozy space where they can relax, play, and feel loved. My goal is to earn your trust and help your pets feel as happy and safe as they do with you!

“Glad we found Anne. She helped walking our dog when we were traveling. She was always on time and shared pics and updates about the walk. Cookie really enjoyed spending time. Anne is very accommodating. Highly recommend.”
“Laura has been walking my golden, Brodie regularly for a few weeks now and I'm really happy with how reliable and caring she is. She sends me updates and photographs on where they walked and lets me know if there are any issues. I really hope she'll continue walking Brodie and I highly recommend her dog walking services.”
About: I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m reliable, communicative, and always focused on your pet’s safety and happiness. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or just hanging with you pup, I make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve each time! Tell me all about your dog's personality and needs and I'll be happy to accommodate. I've spent the last year caring and training my own pup full time. He's learned basic commands (sit, stay, up, down, lay down, come) and enjoys swimming, playing games like hide-and-seek within our home, and camping. I know all about the puppy phase and struggles with teething, their high energy and need for extra sleep as well as older dog's careful routines and need for company. I am a stay-at-home dog mom so my schedule is open and accommodating! I'm free on weekdays and weekends from 8am to 9pm. I have a bernedoodle puppy at home who is crate trained, walked daily, fed 3 times a day, and enjoys hide and seek and training games. I'll care for you dog as much as I care for my own. During house visits I'm capable of following your dogs particular routine for feedings, bathroom, walks, play, and sleep schedule. We can enjoy all their favorite activities together to ensure their comfort and safety as that is my top priority.
About: I’ve lived with animals my whole life; at both houses we had at least 3 cats and 3 dogs at a time with the occasional hamster, rat, snake, or rabbit. I’ve adopted most of my pets from shelters, and have helped raised two litters (one was kittens, the other was puppies). Having a wide variety of animals introduced me to a wide array of personality types from friendly and cuddly to moody or shy. These experiences have taught me to have an abundance of patience and understanding, and to be able to adapt to individual needs. The animals I’ve watched/raised/trained have been all different breeds and sizes; from a 3 pound chihuahua to a 85 pound German/Pitt mix. I’ve taken care of older dogs, who need extra care, as well as sick dogs and/or dogs with preexisting conditions who require medications once, twice, or three times a day. Not only have I helped with my animals, but I’ve watched other peoples houses/pets as well. I’m pretty much a homebody, so aside from a couple hours each day, I’m available and flexible and can hangout with your pets for as long as you need. I’m a great communicator too, so if an issue were to arise, I will reach out right away because your pet’s health and well-being is my top priority. I’m currently self-employed, so my schedule is open and flexible. I do prefer a couple of days of notice in advanced, unless it’s an emergency. I will take care of your pet however you need me to. When it comes your pets health and well-being, I know you know what’s best, and I will never disrespect your wants or needs. If you need me to house sit, I will respect your property. I’m very neat, organized, and clean (slightly OCD) so I would never leave a mess.
About: when I was young I had a dog, he was accompanied me for a few years till someday he passed away, since then I didn't want to have a dog as I was so sad. Last year my second dog just passed away because of illness while he brought me another unforgettable time. After a year now my enthusiasm of taking care dogs restarts even I don’t have a dog with me. My wife and I work at home, so we have plenty of time. I tends to walk dog twice a day, sometimes I will go hiking with dogs. I have a fenced back yard, and dogs always sleep on sofa or in the cage, they will enjoy a fenced back yard with enough safety. I have experience of taking care of many dogs in the past years, and get experience of feeding and giving medicines to him, also I know some health issues about general senior dogs. the most important thing for a sitter is to have passion of loving dogs, all dogs are easily to handle if they feel love from you.
“Paige is awesome! I’m so happy to have found her. I needed her help walking my dog for a week and she was punctual, friendly and took him for nice 30min walks, after which he’d come back happy and energized! Will definitely book again.”

“Such a sweet person!! Carolyn went above and beyond to help us with our Sadie - she was our flower girl at our wedding and Carolyn was willing to come to the venue and get Sadie after our ceremony. She’s got a golden heart for animals! Thank you so much!!!”
“Sameer, Reyna, and their kids are pretty much Helo's second family! By now, he knows the drill. This recent visit we dropped him off and Helo just walked casually into their house, laid down and had a face like "I'm in good hands, you can go now." We always feel at ease when we drop off our pup because we know he is very well taken care of. Helo comes home happy, well-played, and always excited to come back next time. I try to book well in advance because Sameer and his family get booked up so fast since everyone knows they are amazing dog lovers and care takers! Sameer and Reyna, we will forever stay and be your repeat customers!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
About: I have been a proud dog parent to my German Shepherd, which gave me hands-on experience caring for a large, intelligent, and high-energy breed. Through these years, I handled daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, training reinforcement, and lots of playtime and companionship. Caring for a German Shepherd taught me the importance of structure, patience, exercise, and positive reinforcement. I understand how much love, attention, and consistency dogs need to feel safe and happy. I truly love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own — with care, responsibility, and plenty of affection. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend most of my day with the pets I care for, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so dogs receive constant supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. My home has a spacious 12,000 sq. ft. backyard, including a separate fenced area for safe outdoor play and exercise. I provide a calm, secure, and loving environment where every dog is treated like family. 🐾
“The family clearly loves dogs and their dog Prince is true to his name. He buddied up with our lab so quickly at the meet and greet and they played the entire time. Our dog was so excited to visit after that one meeting. It’s clear they have been doing this a long time and we will definitely be going back !”
“Our pup stayed with Dyan and her family for his first time away from us. He had a great time. Dyan sent pics and videos of him playing with her kids and the other dogs she was caring for. He resisted getting in the car to come home! 😊 We will definitely have him stay with Dyan next time we need a sitter.”
“Lexie was well understood and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for more! Our dog is a tricky one with senior issues but Trisha and her family knew just how to address her difficulties and make her happy and comfortable. She fit right in with their family! I’m very grateful to Trish and I highly recommend her.”
“Yu-shu and family were AMAZING! We got a ton of updates complete with pictures and narratives every day during our vacation, and Leche was always so happy and loved, playing with other people and dogs! It was a wonder how Leche wanted to come back home to us! I hope Leche can stay with your family again, because she loved it, and we had zero worries or concerns about how she was doing. Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer and Eduardo were a dream to find! Kohl is sometimes hesitant to warm up to new people, and they were so patient and kind with him. We also consistently receieved updates with tons of pictures and videos while we were away, and felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. They are a very sweet couple, absolutely will use their services again and would highly reccomend!”
“I'm very happy to have found Robert here on Rover! He is a wonderful dog host. I can tell that he gave our puppy a great deal of love, care and attention. Our puppy had other furry friends he played with during his stay and he enjoyed his time so much that he was pleasantly tired when I brought him home! Robert is very quick to respond and he sends updates via pictures/videos. Will definitely rebook with Robert again.”
“We were very grateful to find someone that loves dogs and has a passion for caring for them when their owners need to be away. Our dog was safe & well taken care of. Thank you Monisa & David!”
“Hong is truly an amazing person. It's hard for me to fully put trust into someone to care for my 16yo Shiba that I've had for 15 years. After some awful boarding experiences elsewhere, Hong has given me hope to be able to be away and not worry about Boost. She would send messages to me throughout the day and it definitely put my nerves at ease. When we picked him up, he whined the whole car ride home!! He didn't want to leave. If that doesn't tell you how much of an amazing time he had with Hong, I don't know what else to tell you. THANK YOU MILLIONS, Hong. I am so grateful to have found you.”
“Navneet and family are wonderful! A real home away from home for our dog where she receives much love, care, and attention by all. Fenced in yard provides added peace of mind. We would definitely book a stay with them again!”
“Sarah was our first experience using Rover and she was great. She responed immediately to our communication and had the perfect set up for our dog to stay while we were out of town. We loved the picture updates.”
