“I have been searching for sitters as wonderful as Susie and Galen for a while. It's very obvious that they love dogs and enjoy caring for them. They made my time away so fantastic because I knew everyone was well taken care of and got regular photo updates. They were, by far, the best experience I've had on Rover and I feel really lucky to have found them.”

“Cassie and her sweet dog Sadie are just the best! I have a senior dog and I was nervous about leaving him for 3 nights but Cassie was so kind and patient in making sure me and my little guy felt comfortable. She sent me tons of updates and photos and I know my baby was taken good care of in her hands. To top it all off, she has a great yard and single story place. We will definitely book with her again! 🙏 🐾 🐕”

“Haylee is a great pet sitter. We had an issue with our previous dog sitter here in Germany and finding Haylee was such a relief. She was easy to communicate with, my dogs responded well to her immediately, and she sent several photos daily with updates on the dogs daily activities.”
“oh my goodness I am SO happy I found Josh to watch my pups. I know they had a great time with him and he took such good care of them. He administered meds for my one pup and made my slightly nervous other pup feel safe and loved. My whippet loves to run and he made sure he got to do that! I will absolutely use him in the future and highly recommend.”


“Chai had her first stay with Todd and Bill. And it was the first time we have used Rover. Bill was very communicative during the whole process which made it very easy for us. He also sent pictures of Chai playing in the backyard with the other dogs and gave us a status report of the visit, all of which were comforting for us, knowing she was in good hands!”

“Holly was great with my dog Chico. She was very prompt when I asked how he was doing and sent pictures often. No complaints. I would recommend her. Thank u Holly.”

“Michelle provided an amazing stay for our pup while we were out for a week. She was quick to respond, extremely flexible and provided great updates. If you’re looking for a dog sitter I highly recommend using Michelle’s services.”

“I would highly recommend Gwendolyn and her family. Coco has stayed with them a couple of times and we could not have been happier. Gwendolyn kept us regularly updated on how Coco was and what they were getting up to. Coco came home a very happy dog!”

“Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!”

“Robin & Rahn were great! They sent updates with photos and videos during my dog Millie’s stay and it looked like she had the best time! I would definitely recommend them for sitting and will book with them in the future.”

“Janet was amazing and an absolute godsend. I came to San Diego on a trip and my plans changed at least 3-4x. Through it all, Janet was super communicative and accommodating and constantly worked around my scheduling changes. She frequently sent updates and pictures. My pup Mishka was in great hands and had a ton of playtime everyday and had the best time staying with Janet! Mishka was clearly very happy and well looked after the whole time at her house. I would come back to Janet again and again for any dog sitting or boarding!”

“Luke and his partner we absolutely wonderful watching Oliver. They provided consistent updates on feeding, potty breaks, and play time with lots of pictures showing Oliver was happy and safe! I highly recommend Luke and the accommodations him and his partner provides. They will tailor any special needs your pet provide and your bet will have ample companionship and yard time to play with other dogs staying with them. Please look no further and reach out to Luke for your pet boarding needs. I will definitely be a repeat customer again!”


“Really great with my pup and she can be a temperament one. I received pictures and updates throughout her stay. Fatima is very sweet. My baby was returned to me clean and happy.”

“We have booked Michelle 3x now and she always takes great care of our pups and they enjoy staying with her. She is flexible, friendly and responds in a timely manner.”

“Vanessa took in our dog on extremely short notice after someone else cancelled last minute. We know our pup was well cared for and enjoyed the socialization with other dogs. Would definitely use again!”


“Our dog, Sloan, had a wonderful week with Alisiene and her pups. Alisiene kept us updated on how things were going and included pictures. Sloan was calm and happy when we picked her up. She obviously enjoyed her stay, and it was a great comfort to us to know she was in good hands.”

“Overall, Brittany is a very caring and responsible sitter. Highly recommended! 1. Brittany was very responsive and accommodating both to us and our dog, Eevee. Her kind and cheerful personality, along with her attentiveness to our and Eevee's needs, put us and Eevee at ease. 2. Brittany was warm and affectionate with Eevee, which allowed Eevee to bond with her quickly. 3. She provided frank yet reassuring and frequent updates with beautiful pictures. We got the sense that Eevee was being treated as her own pet and getting plenty of attention and long walks! In summary, we felt that she was both caring for Eevee and that they were both enjoying each other's company. This made us comfortable enough to trust her with leaving Eevee in her care for an extended period. Thank you, Brittany! Walid, Kathleen & Eevee”

“Kali was amazing. My cat Chandler is extremely timid and shy and doesn’t warm up to strangers easily. I was so worried about leaving him for this reason but he absolutely loved Kali. The photos she sent showed how close he got to her and I will definitely be using her again. She truly is the cat whisperer. She was also very accommodating to my requests. Because of Kali, I was able to enjoy my trip without worrying if Chandler was okay.”

“Barb was awesome! She accommodated my last-minute holiday trip and sent daily photos and updates of my cat. I felt really at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”


“Went on a long weekend trip for the first time since we got our cat and we needed someone to check in on our cat. With Jessica, everything went smoothly! Jessica was super responsive and communicated very well ahead of time. I'm grateful that she kept us informed with photos and took good care of our cat.”

“Wow! Emily is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time. I booked her for a long visit, and was so nervous to be away from my cat. But Emily gave me reassurances by sending me photos and updates on my cats behavior. It’s a really good sign that my shy but loving kitty warmed up to her so quickly, and was even waiting for her by the window on their last visit! Emily also took care of my plants, which was so essential too. I would 10/10 hire her for your pet sitting needs, I will surely be doing the same next time I need a sitter ❤️”

“Jovi was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and having a cat sitter, and we feel incredibly thankful that we found her. We loved receiving the updates and pictures while we were away—it gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were happy, comfortable, and so well cared for. I truly believe they were in the best hands, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Jovi was thoughtful, caring, and considerate, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she gave our cats. Thank you so much, Jovi! We’re beyond thankful to have found you and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. ❤️🐾”

Dixie had an upset stomach over the weekend and Elizabeth even stayed extra time to make sure everything was okay when she threw up. Will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again! :)”

“Such a great experience! We previously brought our dog to a daycare facility, and recently took her to Charlie and Shanna’s for the first time. They were super responsive via message and even had a phone call with us since we couldn’t do an initial meet and greet. They’re extremely flexible, and it’s so clear how much they care for your pet. Couldn’t recommend them enough!”

Very knowledgable of dog behavior, and I felt very comfortable leaving my fur baby with them! Will definitely book in the future ?”

“Oliver loved his time with Taylor and their dog Benny! I picked up a very happy and tired dog at the end of the day. Taylor was also very accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. You could tell she really has a soft spot for dogs and wants to do whatever she can to make them comfortable and happy! We can’t wait to use her again!”

“She was so caring and attentive to my dog, and I love how she keeps you updated on everything. She was very accommodating given the fact that I had to drop of my dog really early for work. Would definitely recommend, I know I’ll be going to her for my pup.”

(Also, my cat who is extremely timid and has never come out of hiding for ANYONE, came out for Alyssa. There is no better review than that!)”

“I am super grateful that Brendan was able to walk Charlie last minute, as my planned walker canceled last minute. This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little worried and unsure about the process. I loved that Brendan messaged me to set up a phone call to determine if there were any special requests or info he needed to know about Charlie. As the previous reviewer stated, Brendan does have a calm & welcoming energy. Charlie had no problem leaving with Brendan, which did surprise me. Brendan was super professional, friendly and thorough. I also appreciated the after walk summary and feedback. I will definitely book with Brendan again and highly recommend him!!”
