“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Where to begin? I’m traditionally a mess when I have to leave my little man to travel for my job. Or should I say I used to be a mess. And then Juliana entered our lives and my stress vanished. Could not have been a better experience. Spoiled our little guy while he was there and keep me in the loop with adorable photos at every step. Very grateful for Rover helping make this connection.”
“David took such good care of my dog this past weekend, when I brought Knuckles home he cried as if he missed him . David sent daily photos which made me so much more comfortable knowing that my dog was happy. I will definitely be a returning client.”
“Donte was great with my pup! I was a little nervous to take him to a new sitter for the first time, but the second I met Donte and saw him interacting with my dog all those nerves went away. He, miraculously even got my dog who has a fear of crates to sleep in one! I was blown away. Would definitely recommend.”
“Patty was extremely thoughtful and sweet to my senior dog for a week stay. I didn't have to worry at all, and he came back nice and tired and happy. He even made a doggie friend during his stay! Plus, she sent me some really great photos of him.”
“Yuiko was fantastic & gave very regular updates! It was my first time leaving my dog with her but I felt so comfortable knowing my dog was in her care. There were other dogs staying at the place so my dog got great socialization with the other dogs and with her children. I highly recommend her & will use her services again in a heartbeat!”
“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“This is my first time using this website. It was last minute. Zenith accepted my request. Zenith is an excellent sitter, she took great care of my princess. She keep communicating with updates. I would highly recommend her, and would certainly use her services in the future. Thank you Zenith.”
“She took amazing care of Jack and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly loves animals. Jack felt comfortable and well cared for, and I had total peace of mind while he was with her. Communication was great, with updates and quick responses, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional caregiver for their pet. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Christine was excellent! Stayed in touch, sent pics, asked all the right questions to take care of our spoiled boy! Clearly a dog lover; we won’t hesitate to use her again! Thanks a million and come visit!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Carismeldi took fantastic care of my pup! She also sent plenty of updates and pics throughout this first stay which was reassuring. So thankful to have found her as a sitter. Looking forward to our dog staying with her again in a few weeks!”
“Brian was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He sent daily updates and pictures of our girls, not to mention he has 2 beautiful golden retrievers himself. I could not recommend Brian enough and will absolutely be using him as our default watcher moving forward!!! 5/5”
“Christin watched our pup for the second time in a row and we knew neyland was so loved the whole time we were away! She was very responsive and accommodating to schedule adjustments even picking up our dog because she was going to be in the neighborhood! We got lots of pictures throughout out time away to see how our pup was!”
“Bryce was incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“Khaing is the best! She took good care of my cat (Lexx) for 5 days. She kept me updated & sent me pictures everyday. She also does pick up & drop of service which is very convenient for me. Thank you Khaing i appreciate everything and also for the new toys your gave Lexx. He loves it! I will be using your service again in the future. Take care!”
“It was my first time away from my dog and I was very worried if he will be in good hands, but Tamika made sure to keep me updated and assure me! I’m definitely rebooking.”
“Megan did a great job caring for Ruby and I appreciated that she was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure that her dog and Ruby would get along. I’d happily book Megan again!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Emelie was wonderful and very relaxed about my dog's quirks. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I was an anxious dog mama but she really made me feel comfortable that he was fitting in and having a good time.”

“Jennifer was a great babysitter- always filled me in and took the cutest pictures of my cat and hamster. She was reliable and responsive I am definitely going to hire her again for all my trips!”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“He did a great job taking care of my kitties while we were on vacation! Very pleasant, friendly, trustworthy and communicates well! Looking forward to using his services again.”
“Angelica did a great job visiting our two cats. She sent lots of pics, and I can see they got lots of love and attention. She also did a great job keeping things clean and brought in our mail without being asked. I really appreciate that! I definitely recommend her.”
“Abigail is an excellent house sitter. She is trustworthy and dependable. She took wonderful care of our two kitties, one of whom is an 18 year old senior. Abigail provided us with updates and pictures of our cats. I highly recommend Abigail as a house sitter with no hesitation.”
“Mike made the effort to connect with our cranky old lady kitty. He was great at keeping in touch and communicating about any concerns or other information (packages arriving etc). We have hired Mike twice and would definitely do so again in the future.”
“Briana did a great job taking care of our cats! She was very communicative, easy to work with, and my cats loved her. I would highly recommend working with Briana!”
“Kathy is a kind and conscientious sitter for my cat. She takes the time to get to know your pets and bond with them, and makes my kitty feel at ease. I highly recommend Kathy, she’s the best!”
“It was our first time leaving, Daphne, our cat alone for a weekend and we were apprehensive in leaving her with a sitter. Patricia took the time to come to our house and meet Daphne. When it came time to leave for our trip Patricia made sure to send us a whole bunch of pictures of her and Daphne playing and having a good time. Patricia made our first experience using Rover effortless and made us feel comfortable while we enjoyed our weekend. We will be sure to check if Patricia is available next time we book a trip.”
“I’ve hired Heather a few times to drop in on my cat and she’s always great with him. She also sends lots of photos and detailed descriptions. This time we were delayed due to weather and she was very flexible about coming by for an extra day. I’d definitely recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”
“Helena did a great job taking care of our two cats for a week. She came at the agreed-upon time each day, gave them lots of love, pets, and playtime, and sent us pictures that helped us not miss them quite as much; although that’s hard, of course! We felt very comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah is a cat whisperer! Our cat is so shy & scared of so many things. Other Petsitters rarely see her. Hannah sent us so many pictures of Minnie everyday. We were amazed! We definitely recommend Hannah & will hire her again.”
“Fantastic job. Courteous, dependable, great communication. He followed my directions perfectly. My cats were happy happy happy. I definitely reccomend Ben. I will use him in the future. The service I received from Ben was impeccable.”
About: I love animals and animals have been apart of my life since the day I was born. I am very trusting and loving person. I have been dog sitting and walking for a couple years now. I have dogs of my own so I’m always taking care of them and walking them everyday, even going on hikes. I have always taken care of animals my whole life. I have a big backyard so I’m always trying to run them. Every summer we always go on hikes with them as well. They love it.
“My kitties and I love having Teresa care for them while I am away. She is so great with them, despite their advanced age (and resultant dementia/deafness), and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is taken care of. She is always my first person I reach out to when I need a cat sitter.”

“Diana did a great job with my dog Tigger. Very communicative and helpful with scheduling pick up and drop off. Tigger can get anxious but Diana did a good job making sure he was comfortable and happy.”
About: Hi! I’m a true cat lover with hands-on experience caring for kittens and adult cats. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. Whether your cat needs playtime, feeding routines, litter box cleaning, or just quiet companionship, I will care for them as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priority. Vuelvo a mi trabajo regular en mayo de 2024 así que tengo mucho tiempo libre. Puedo pasear perritos y cuidar gatitos en mi departamento(es un apartamento tipo estudio así que considero que los perritos no estarían a gusto en un espacio de este tamaño) Cuddles and walks are 100% guaranteed ❤️ I’m very careful when taking care of pets, and I’m a calm person, so I pass that energy on to the animals as well.
About: As experienced dog owners, we are familiar with periods of puppy & teenager, have expectations for accidents, demand of attentions and needs of releasing energy. We have two fixed male dogs & 3 cats at home. Dog is energetic and friendly. Cats are shy, they usually just stay away from dog(s).We have our family room cleared for dog to play, and a fenced backyard that allows dog to burn their energy anytime. We are looking forward to meeting and taking care of dogs&cats! Zhuoran is currently at home 24/7. All dogs are crate-free in family room unless there is behavior issue during the day, and all dogs stay in the bedroom with us at night. - Dog walking schedule: 6:30am, 11am, 3pm, 8pm, and before bed time. In weekends we take dogs to fully fenced dog parks for 30~60min. Schedules are adjustable as needed. I'm currently stay at home 24/7. We wake up 6:00am for the first walk, and a short walk every 3~5 hours. My working station is in the family room right next to dogs, so I can take care of the dogs quickly if anything happened. We have a cleared family room with a safe gate, the whole space is belong to the dogs. We also have a fully fenced backyard that allows dogs to burn their energy and enjoy the fresh air.
“Donte was great with Blue. He really helped us out with a last-minute weekend daycare booking, and Blue was very excited to go back. We received photos and videos during his visits and we will definitely look to Donte for future daycare visits.”
“Martha has been so lovely! She takes amazing care of Mochi. Mochi can be a stubborn boy who refuses to go on walks and Martha handles it so well and encourages him or gives him plenty of pets! She sends cute photos of mochi and I know he is being well cared for! Martha is very genuine. Thank you so much Martha”
“Julianna was amazing from the moment we met! I could tell she has so much love for dogs and such a caring person that I immediately felt comfortable scheduling my little baby 🐶 with her She was also communicating very well , asking the right questions about Leo’s care which I very much appreciated We will definitely be back ! Thank you so much for loving Leo while he was at your house! See you soon again”
About: ** update: i am currently limiting my availability as I prepare to bring home a new puppy! I will be reopening my calendar in September for private single family dog boardings. For walks and other services, please send me a message! ** Hi there! I’m Nic, I am 34, and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I truly enjoy their company. I promise to care for your pup as if they were my own. I’m happiest when a dog is near, and as dog parents, I’m sure you understand that feeling! When I use Rover as a dog parent, I’m nervous about choosing someone to care for my dog, so I understand anxieties about leaving your precious baby with someone new. I promise your dog will be treated with patience, kindness, and love, just as I have with my pup. I an actively working on becoming a certified dog trainer. I have done a lot of research, and trained my own dogs. I’d be happy to work on sessions while your pup is in my care. If there’s anything you’re actively working on reinforcing for cues and/or behaviors, please let me know! I keep food/water bowls (3cup size), dog bags, treats, toys, and bones in the house - I’ll ask you if there’s any restrictions on treats, bones etc. i try to have you need to bring as little as possible for your pup; I know the hassle of getting the whole family ready - let alone the dog’s stuff! If there’s anything you need specific, just ask! I work remotely from home full time, so I am available and would be with your pup all day (for boardings), or available for different timed drop ins or walks! My meeting schedules vary daily/weekly but I am overall available and present with your pet during the day and night. *** Please note that I keep my calendar availability open 6 months at a time. If you need a booking request further out than 6 months please select any available date and message me your actual requested days for review *** I do not have any other pets in my home. I do not have any children. I also do not have any males in my home, if your pup is weary of new men (No offense fellas!) I do live in a condo building, so your pup will need to be able to walk up stairs. There is an elevator in the building, but we will take the stairs if they fear or are uncertain of the elevator. Your pup must be OK walking on-leash, as we are not allowed to have dogs off-leash on the property. If your pup requires off-leash potty breaks, i recommend drop-ins instead of boarding.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience, especially with large breeds, reactive dogs, and pups with special needs. I’ve worked with shelter dogs and understand how to care for animals that need a little extra patience, structure, or medical support. I currently live with a rambunctious lab and two curious cats, so I’m very used to a lively, pet-filled home. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, boarding overnight, or just dropping by for a walk, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. My home is pet-friendly with a fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I also have experience administering medications, including for pets with ongoing health needs, and I’m comfortable accommodating special diets or routines. I truly enjoy walking and believe it’s more than just a potty break—it’s a chance for dogs to stretch their legs, explore, and get some fresh air and stimulation. I tailor each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level, whether they’re a slow sniffer or an energetic explorer. I’m happy to work with most dogs and want to provide the best possible care. Just let me know about any behaviors or needs in advance so I can be fully prepared. I look forward to meeting your furry family and making them feel right at home! I work from home, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s letting them out for frequent potty breaks, enjoying playtime in the backyard, or making sure they stick to their regular feeding and medication schedule, I’m able to be fully present and responsive to their needs. My flexible routine means your pup will never be left alone for long, and I can easily adjust to accommodate their unique rhythms and preferences. Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I treat them like part of the family. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a securely fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. I keep a consistent routine for meals, walks, and play, and I’m mindful of any special instructions, from medications to behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide lots of affection and enrichment, and make sure their space stays clean and safe. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free in your absence—whether they’re with me or in their own home.
About: I’ve been a pet owner/parent since I was a child. I’ve owned Pugs, Frenchies, Rotties, Great Danes and even mixed breeds from puppies to seniors. This has given me the knowledge to understand that all pups are different and may need different attention depending on their stage of life, but rest assured all pups will receive safe, reliable and loving care. At this time caring for your pet is my only job so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and care for your pups! I’m available for boarding with a drop off window between 9:30am and 7:30pm weekdays, with the exception of 5:30-6pm which is typically when I like to feed the pups unless instructed otherwise. I like to allow about an hour and a half of rest after eating for proper digestion before any playtime. Checkout should be no later than 10:00am, or you will be charged the daycare fee for that day and your pet must be picked up by 6pm.. On weekends drop off times are after 2pm but there may be an opportunity for some flexibility that can be discussed if an earlier time is needed. Daycare hours will run 8:30am to 6pm Monday to Friday. “PLEASE NOTE” that all pets must be up to date with shots and flea and tick meds for daycare and boarding. Proof will be required. Your pets safety is very important to me which is why I require dog friendly pets only and no puppies under 5 months. If you are unsure of how your pet will handle boarding I suggest trying a couple days of daycare to get them adjusted. At no time will your pet ever be left alone in the yard or unattended in my home. If something comes up and I need to run an errand, your pet will be crated/pen for safety. I have central air to keep the pets cool and if your pup feels a bit overwhelmed at first while boarding by my resident dogs, I can offer separation if needed.
About: A lover of animals of all sorts, I've rescued and cared for cats of my own for over 40 years. My family had dogs including a Beagle and a Lhasa Poo while I was growing up, and I'm the one who always says, "Can I say hi?!" when I see someone out walking their dog. I volunteered at Main Line Animal Rescue, Providence Animal Rescue, and pet store based cat rescues and have received dog handling and walking training. I am equipped and eager to provide your pets with quality time and care. I have groomed cats, walked the big dogs, and cleaned bunny litter. Clients, friends, and co-workers have been happy with my services and I enjoy connecting my work with one of my passions. If you scroll my photos, I admit I haven't cared for alpacas. But I'd love to learn how! I'd be happy to make your getaways, vacations, or travel for work less stressful for you by caring for your pets and home. I give plenty of updates and photos,with regular reports on food and treats, litter or potty time, and general behavior. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to book well in advance or to jump in for last minte bookings. Just let me know your needs and I'll do my best to make it work. Book ahead for your fall and winter travel plans! Taking care of your pets in your home is a responsibility and a privilege, allowing your pets to have their safe spaces and comforts while you're away. If house-sitting or dropping in for care or walks, I'll follow your suggestions and directions to deliver the best possible care. I am mature, responsible, and experienced, so you can feel confident in my reliability.
“Michell was great! He paid attention to concerns I had about my dog’s needs and made me feel confident leaving him. Their house has a great set up for dogs to have what they need on their day away from home. I recommend and will return with our pup. Thanks Michell.”
About: Hi there! We’re a family of four with big hearts and an even bigger soft spot for dogs. We recently said goodbye to our sweet boy after 13 wonderful years, and while we’re not quite ready for another full-time furry family member, we’d love to share our love of dogs by helping care for yours! Our experience includes caring for dogs of all ages — from puppies to seniors — and giving medication in pill form when needed. I am currently unemployed - which gives me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. We have two kids at home who can lend an extra hand in evenings and weekends. We have a fenced-in yard, perfect for daily exercise and bathroom breaks. While our dogs haven’t been crate-trained, we’re happy to use a crate if that’s what your pup is used to. Someone will almost always be home while your dog is in our care, and we’re happy to discuss the best plan if there’s ever a time they might be alone in the house.
“Both my dogs had such a great time with Olga!! They both came home and went straight to sleep. She quickly responded to my request (even late at night) and sent me updates through the day so I knew my pups were safe. I highly recommend her for dog daycare/ sitting. Thanks again!”
“Cleo is a very skittish rescue. Emilie seems to have the magic touch with her. Maybe Cleo feels so comfortable with her because she picks up her kindness and love for dogs. You can't go wrong with Emilie.”
“Chris did an amazing job making sure Rue (who was having some digestive issues the day of day care), was comfortable and supported, and that he fit in well with the other dogs. Thank you so much!!”
“Tia seemed to enjoy her stay with Shelby and Robbie! I only met Robbie outside their home when I dropped Tia off and picked her up. He was friendly and happy to take Tia for a while. They have a nice fenced in yard.”

“Helena went above and beyond! I reached out last minute because I was stuck at work and she was able to walk my dog. She took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and familiar with her before they went for a walk. She also refilled his water bowl! My dog is very timid and shy with new people but he warmed to Helena with just a few treats.”
“Briana was amazing! She was extremely responsive and took great care of our puppy for us! We will definitely ask Briana to watch Winnie again!”
“Kevin has now walked our dog, Trevor, multiple times and really goes out of his way to make sure our dog's specific routine and regiment are maintained while being fully attuned to our dog's personality and idiosyncrasies. When we aren't able to be home to walk Trevor, we know Kevin will provide the same or a greater level of care.”
“Tim and Ally are super reliable and extremely flexible. They’ve saved us in a few binds and our pets love them. Our dog stares out the window waiting for them to arrive!”
“Angelica was on time, communicative and great with Popham! She has great energy and Popham loved her right away. We liked her so much that we will be using her for daily walks.”
“Olivia is great to work with. We needed someone on short notice to walk our dog. Olivia stepped right up to help us out. Highly recommend using her if you need a walker or sitter. Thanks again!”
“Kathy is energetic, sweet & my dog loved her! She made sure Molly was walked the full 1/2 hour, was safe and did everything she needed to do (pee & poop). I highly recommend Kathy & will be using her again.”
“Ben was a pleasure to work with! He is trustworthy, and considerate. He took great care of my puppy! Always making sure he had a fun walk! He took lots of pictures which I appreciated getting! He was very accommodating to my schedule which can always change at the last minute. I highly recommend ben to care for your fur babies!!”

About: I’m Mike and I love dogs! I grew up helping my mom train dogs for Guiding Eyes so I have experience with pups of every age, size, breed, and personality! Once I finished grad school, I volunteered at the local rescue organization which inspired me to foster puppies. I have always been a dog lover and this is a great opportunity to give back to my community, all the while meeting new furry friends! In addition to my personal and volunteer experience with dogs, I was a professional dog walker for ‘Reactive Rover’, which was a dog walking service specializing in exercising dogs that are high maintenance, anxious, or had other reactivity issues. I would work to get the pup I was walking comfortable, break down barriers, and work on various greeting skills. This helped my furry pals in addition to broadening my own experience and skills with dogs! When your dog is under my care, my number one priority is to make you both feel completely comfortable and well taken care of. I do that by giving the absolute best customer service possible. I’ll always follow your instructions to a “T” to ensure your dog’s happiness and safety. After all, no one knows your dog better than you do! We’ll always do what makes them the most happy, and I’m happy to go the extra mile for any pooch. Likewise, I love sending daily updates with accompanying pictures so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m always just a phone call away and can be reached any time in case any concerns or questions arise. I split time between Malvern, PA and Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. There are many parks around both locations! There is plenty of walking and green space as well around. My girlfriend Kristina is an avid dog lover and shows as much care and affection as I do anytime we care for someone’s beloved dog! We also volunteer at All 4 Paws Rescue in Malvern, PA! When I’m not pet sitting, I love playing sports, whether it be basketball at my gym or tennis outside! The beach is also a must during warmer weather. Your pup would be welcome to join me on any of these adventures! If I’m not outside being active, I am always spending time with my friends, going out to dinner, seeing a movie, or taking in a show. I also love lounging at my apartment on the couch with a good book/tv show! I work a hybrid role so many times I am working from home and when I do have to head out for meetings it is few and far between and my gf Kristina is always there to assist! In Malvern I have a small balcony but there is a gated dog park that is included in the complex - in Philadelphia we do not have a yard but are very close to Rittenhouse Square, Schuykill River Park, and many others!
“Our dog loves Allison! She immediately took to her upon meeting and it is clear that Allison is a great dog walker and a true dog lover. She is very reliable and able to accommodate our busy work schedules.”
About: Having worked as a pet care provider for 14 years, I offer dedicated, trustworthy care for all pets, from puppies to elderly dogs, ensuring their safety, comfort, and enjoyment each and every time. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine—I’m available from early mornings until 3/4 PM most days, giving me plenty of time for walks and play When dog walking at your home, I prioritize safety, follow your dog’s routine, stay attentive, check for hazards, and ensure your dog feels happy, calm, and well-exercised.
“Great with my little maltipoo. She took care of her and made sure she was hydrated during her walk. She was very professional and very nice. I will be using her again.”

“Donte was great with my pup! I was a little nervous to take him to a new sitter for the first time, but the second I met Donte and saw him interacting with my dog all those nerves went away. He, miraculously even got my dog who has a fear of crates to sleep in one! I was blown away. Would definitely recommend.”
“Christine was excellent! Stayed in touch, sent pics, asked all the right questions to take care of our spoiled boy! Clearly a dog lover; we won’t hesitate to use her again! Thanks a million and come visit!”
“Carismeldi took fantastic care of my pup! She also sent plenty of updates and pics throughout this first stay which was reassuring. So thankful to have found her as a sitter. Looking forward to our dog staying with her again in a few weeks!”
“Brian was absolutely PHENOMENAL. He sent daily updates and pictures of our girls, not to mention he has 2 beautiful golden retrievers himself. I could not recommend Brian enough and will absolutely be using him as our default watcher moving forward!!! 5/5”
“Christin watched our pup for the second time in a row and we knew neyland was so loved the whole time we were away! She was very responsive and accommodating to schedule adjustments even picking up our dog because she was going to be in the neighborhood! We got lots of pictures throughout out time away to see how our pup was!”
“Bryce was incredible! This was Thor’s first time away from us and I was just as anxious as he was. Bryce did a wonderful job of putting us both at ease. The photos and updates during the day was greatly appreciated. Thank you Bryce!”
“It was my first time away from my dog and I was very worried if he will be in good hands, but Tamika made sure to keep me updated and assure me! I’m definitely rebooking.”
“Megan did a great job caring for Ruby and I appreciated that she was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure that her dog and Ruby would get along. I’d happily book Megan again!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! I was fully confident in leaving Mousse with her after doing an initial meet and greet. It was very clear that Rebecca has a good sense of how dogs are and what they need. She was careful to point out that her stairway was sometimes a challenge for dogs and that it was important to make sure Mousse would be ok navigating them... and she'd thought out where to place the crate in her apartment so it wasn't in the sun. She sent regular check ins and Mousse was clearly having a great time in all the pictures :) In addition, Rebecca was very flexible and understanding when we were stuck in traffic and needed to delay pick up by a few hours. We hope to add Rebecca to our regular rotation of Rover sitters!”
“Emelie was wonderful and very relaxed about my dog's quirks. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I was an anxious dog mama but she really made me feel comfortable that he was fitting in and having a good time.”
“We could not be happier with Ulku and Andrew! They watched our 11 month dog for a week- we were very nervous but their constant communication made us feel so much better! They sent us updates each morning and we could really tell our pup was having a great time! Would definitely recommend them and book again in the future!”
“This was the first time we used Rover to board our boy Frankie, so I didn’t know what exactly to expect. Michell was very responsive via text, provided ample status photos of our dogs stay. This put me at ease and made me feel comfortable leaving Frankie with him. It was also a trial run to see how Frankie would do overnight at someone else’s house. He did great, Michell and Tiago took great care and we will be using them again for future longer stays! I highly recommend!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“As a first time Rover user, Chris is an asset to the company. He accepted Theo as a boarding guests for two nights. Chris was extremely generous with his time ahead of our booking in a meet-and-greet and walk. He is knowledgeable, personable, giving, and very loving to animals. The updates were encouraging and plentiful (even without my asking). Chris cared for my best friend as my own, and made this whole experience great. As I warned him at pickup, he is now part of our family. Thank you Rover... and HUGE THANKS to Chris for making this company/service/experience incredible.”
“Shandara took care of my dog Freckles, as well as another dog, and her own for a few days. She did a meet and greet, sent me updates constantly, and was very professional. I would have her sit again for me.”
“Jasmine was amazing and took care of Ace as if he were her own. I felt super comfortable knowing that he was in good hands for the weekend while I was away. Jasmine sent me pictures and videos of Ace and provided regular updates about Ace during his stay with her.”
“He was above and beyond. My new rescue had to be left behind for the holidays and wasn’t super comfortable yet, so he had some behavioral issues and, I’m embarrassed to say, ruined some of George’s valued possessions. George was beyond kind and gracious/understanding. He sent pictures and videos of my dog playing with his and I could see that he was having a good time”
“Elizabeth took excellent care of Tessa, and sent us plenty of photos during our trip. Would definitely board Tessa again at Elizabeth's place given the opportunity!”
