“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“My very first time utilizing Rover service providers. I’m so thrilled and pleased with the care that Christine provided. Our initial meet & great definitely eased my anxiety and Marlee took to her right away. Christine provided updates and photos during Marlee’s stay. I could see from the pics that Marlee was enjoying her time and blended well with the other dogs present. Definitely plan to board w/ Christine again. Thanks for taking good care of my fur baby and easing her separation anxiety.”
“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”
“Trinity was amazing! Cash and her did well at the meet n greet. She informed me of the walk schedule, sent plenty of pictures and even noticed he needed a little extra TLC and jumped right on it. She was patient with his anxiety and even took him to the dog park daily. I look forward to working with Trinity again. Cash loves her!!”
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”
“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Madina and it was a lovely experience! She was incredibly accommodating with the drop off/pick up times and our dog could not be more excited to see her! She provided updates/pictures throughout the 10 stay and she had very timely responses to all of my messages. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Francise was great! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our plans changed and was super sweet with Seamus. We got lots of pictures of him while we were away and I was very comfortable he was being well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Once again, Lauren was really fantastic with my neurotic little pup. As he has gotten older, he has become more quirky. She adapts wonderfully to every situation. She sends regular updates as well. I would trust her with any dog. Thank you Lauren!”
“So happy to have found Alyce! Brody was so well taken care of and Alyce was incredibly responsive and sent lots of pictures. So appreciative to her and her family!”
“Kerstyn was so amazing to help us out last minute! Our dog, Wilson, enjoyed his stay and we could tell from the photos and videos shared that he was well cared for. We definitely will be reaching out to Kerstyn to watch our dog in the future!”
“We are so glad to find Jodee and Aj! Very caring and attentive sitters who made sure to update us. They took the time to learn about Bear and make sure they made his stay alittle vacation ✨ Definitely recommend Jodee and AJ!”
“Aisha was so amazing in taking care of our high energy doggo for a whole week while we were away for our wedding!! I received updates and photos every day. I was nervous at first because this was our first time using Rover or going away without our doggo, but Aisha made me feel confident and comfortable in her abilities to take care of our boy the very first hour she had him! He had a blast playing at the dog park, got to go on long walks, and made a new doggo friend with her dog. I HIGHLY recommend Aisha to anyone and will definitely be booking her again in the future (if she'll have our silly pup again!) If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was amazing!”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Rae took good care of Jax. She took him in after a very last minute request from me to board for a weekend and was communicative. Would recommend her for anyone needing dog care boarding.”
“Melanie, Greg, and their family were very kind, patient, and communicative about Phoebe during her first overnight stay away from home. We would definitely book them again!”

“Will absolutely be re-booking with Ajia. She took great care of my senior cat, making sure my cat and house made it through a bad heat wave. Really appreciated the daily updates and pictures.”
“Shannon was incredibly communicative and kind. We were navigating a very skittish cat and she was incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would recommend her to any family.”

“Tara did an amazing job watching over our Saki while we were gone. This is the second time we have worked with Tara and hope to book her again in the future. I truly felt at easy knowing that she was checking in on our cat.”
“Sarah was amazing with our two cats while we were away on vacation for over a week. She was friendly, punctual and patient, taking the time to get to know both of our skittish kitties which we really appreciated! She sent daily updates with photos, giving us peace of mind and helping us feel connected while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about our cats, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We won’t hesitate to book Sarah again the next time we’re out of town!”
“Emad was great and great with my cat. He took the time get to know the care she needed and then completely won over my shy cat in record time! Very positive experience and I would definitely recommend him!”
“Kristina was amazing with my 8-month-old kitten! My little furball can be a mix of sweet and mischievous, but Kristina handled her like a pro. She took great care of her, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and made sure everything was just right at home. When I got back, my kitten looked happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little disappointed that her new best friend had left! It’s clear Kristina gave her plenty of love and attention. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and great with pets, Kristina’s the one to call. Highly recommend!”

“Dani was absolutely amazing! She was very thorough and great with communication. I felt my fur baby and fish were well taken care of and will be requesting her again in the future! Thank you :)”
“Alissa was great! Having just moved and having to find a new pet sitter can be so stressful but Alissa made everything go smoothly. I loved the little updates she would send and how she truly seemed to enjoy spending time with my fur babies. She went above and beyond and I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter in the area.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats on and off most of my life. From the uber social felines to the truly independent, I understand their unique personalities and needs. I am ready to provide them with the kind of attention and comfort they individually need while you are away.
“Jullian was a great sitter! He followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly and took wonderful care of my cat.

I really appreciated his flexibility and reliability, highly recommend!!!”

“Donna was wonderful, as always! She's warm, caring, and great with our dog. We also appreciated her clear communication and the regular updates she sent about how our dog was doing!”
“Leila came to my rescue w/ my last minute request for doggy daycare today. She responded quickly and made my Zoe feel so welcome at drop off. Zoe did not want to leave when I picked her up, which is a first. Leila is a dog whisperer! Thank you for your kindness and the adorable photos. Immediately had peace of mind knowing Zoe was in great care w/ a loving sitter. My girl Zoe can be a bit high maintenance but Leila never made me feel like an inconvenience. I highly recommend Leila to care for your fur baby.”
“Kind, accommodating and extremely gentle. My dog misses her instantly and she will always be the person to care for him. She sends pictures and videos and truly is remarkable. Highly recommended”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Such a great sitter!!!! So grateful I found Merlyn and her sweet pup Nugget! My dog Bodhi loves hanging out with them while I’m at work! Would definitely recommend!”
“Madina was great! She was able to watch my dog last minute/same day. She was prompt with her communications and took wonderful care of Nova for the day. We would definitely book her again.”
“Luiz and Lidia were great with Rolo! They kept us updated throughout the day with lots of photos and gave us a thoughtful summary of how his day went. We really appreciated their care and communication and would happily book with them again!”
“Corey and Nyla were great with Lola and Coco. They put me at ease with their experience, approach and good communication. They were very sweet to our rescue dogs who are still learning the ropes of a home and sought to make them feel comfortable. We will definitely look to them for future daycare and boarding needs.”
About: I had two dogs growing up (Snowball and Mocha) and in recent years, have dog sat for friends, friends, and for Rover clients. It's rewarding and super fun for me! I enjoy the long walks in my neighborhood (I live in an awesome neighborhood for that) and lots of cuddles/belly rubs with the dogs I am sitting! I work from home most of the week and have plenty of time during the day for neighborhood strolls/walks with my rover pups. I love going for walks to take a break so would take the dog out at least 3 or 4 times a day with me. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom/2 floor condo with a balcony. The dog would have access to the first floor. We have hard wood floors, a ton of really great light and are on the 3rd floor. There are no elevators in this building. We have a ton of neighbors who have dogs, an elementary school near by with a nice track/green space, and lots of side walk space for walks.
About: I am a lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to look after your dog when needed. I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds since 2015. I am a teacher and am typically available to host your pets on Fridays after 4:00 PM and anytime on weekends. I am happy to provide reliable and attentive care throughout your pet’s stay and accommodate their individual needs while you are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. My goal is to provide a positive and stress free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I will treat your dog as if they were my own, ensuring their needs are met and they feel loved and cared for at all times.
“It was so easy to communicate with Amanda - quick responses to my messages and we are all set for a meet and greet, then she looked after Daisy today. She has a really cute ground level apartment right next to the Ballston Commons, and it has access to a fenced in shared yard for bathroom breaks. Daisy takes a moment to warm up to new people, but she quickly befriended Amanda and it took some effort when I came to pick her up to get Daisy to leave her curled up spot on the couch next to Amanda. ❣️. I'm so happy to have found a good Rover daycare sitter and will definitely be booking with Amanda again!”
“Laura is a real professional. She invested time to find out my pup’s needs before our scheduled daycare. She communicated very clearly with us throughout the day. Most importantly, my dog was so happy and well cared for when she was with Laura. I highly recommend her!”
“I feel like my dog is in very good hands with Yulia. She really cares about the dogs in her care and also the owners. I loved getting pictures to see how my dog, Trooper, was getting along with the other dogs and having fun.”
“Nya was so good with Benji! She kept me updated throughout the day and made sure he was good and comfortable which would put any dog owner at ease while away. Thank you again Nya! Will definitely be booking again very soon!”
About: I’ve had furry family members all my life. Finally got my own and live having a pup to train, pamper and love on. Let me share that experience with you and your pup as well☺️ I work from home, which makes pup care easier. My pup goes on a 30-60min walk or fetch in the fenced s hook fields near me around 7.30-8, eats around 10.30am with a quick walk outside soon after. She naps and is free to play. Last walk and dinner is around 6.30-7.30. Jade sleeps in her crate beside my bed. I’m able to give as much attention to her as needed because my schedule is flexible. I am very tidy and keep hazards away from the pups. I use dog-safe cleaning products. I also have a nest doorbell camera to monitor those coming and going. Plants are out of reach. I have access to fenced parks and fields less than 1min walk where I take Jade regularly. I like to play Chakra Healing Frequencies
“Mochi had the best time at camp with her auntie and uncle and friend Ricky 🐾. Great communication and nice hosts. Thank you! Mochi can’t wait for her next camp day!”
“Corina was great! Really responsive and great to work with. She took great care of our dog Nina. Sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She took Nina out on several walks during the day and even worked on training her new tricks. My dog just loved her and I can tell she was well taken care of.”
“Keith and Jessica were very responsive and so sweet! We had a meet and greet before I dropped Charlie off to stay with them for a day and I could tell they just love having dogs around. I’m so glad I could take him to such a kind and caring home!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 20 years of hands-on pet care experience. I grew up with cats and other small pets, have owned dogs myself, and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends, family, and pet-sitting clients. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. I work full-time remotely, which gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and pet sitting depending on the day, including evenings and weekends. Since I work from home, I can also spend plenty of time with pets staying with me rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like my own and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality, boundaries, and individual needs and will always follow your feeding, walking, medication, or other care instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority, and I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while they’re with me.
“We met Linda, Leo and Fred and instantly felt at ease! She was so warm, kind and genuine. Leo and Fred were both welcoming and friendly towards Pinot. They played so well and Pinot was well taken care of. Thank you!!!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own pets and working in a professional pet-care environment at PetSuites. As a pet owner, I understand the importance of providing animals with proper feeding, fresh water, exercise, attention, and a safe and comfortable environment. I currently care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai. My experience at PetSuites has also helped me develop strong skills in customer service, communication, pet handling, cleanliness, and making sure each pet receives attentive and compassionate care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and am available most hours, seven days a week. I can provide consistent, reliable care for pets while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. Pet care is already an important part of my daily routine. I care for my two dachshunds, Winston and Kai, by providing meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of love. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“Al has proven to be trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I have booked Al a couple of times for dog walks while I’ve been out of town, one booking was multiple days in duration. Al is very communicative and attentive. He respects our home and asks questions if he is unsure about something- like access linens to wipe our dog down from the rain. He does little things like this that assure me that Tacoma is well taken care of in our absence. I peak at the cameras from time to time and my Tacoma’s tail is always wagging when he sees Al. He has become our go-to.”
“Our Ollie absolutely loves Daniel! From the moment he walked in for the meet and greet they hit it off great! Daniel is very punctual, dependable and communicative. I absolutely trust him with my leash temperamental dog and looking forward to more lunch time adventures for them.”
“Lucia has been walking my puppy and my senior dog almost every day for the past month or so and has been great. She is very communicative, providing photos and updates after every walk. She also is very accommodating when the unexpected comes up such as days when I did not go into the office. She is very reliable and trustworthy.”
About: I love being around animals and have many years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I own a rescue dog, which has taught me the importance of patience and providing a safe, loving environment for animals of all backgrounds. I have volunteered for the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation and the Animal Welfare League of Arlington where I have looked after dogs and cats of various sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments. I have a flexible schedule and committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for while their families are away. I have recently graduated from William & Mary and have an open schedule with the flexibility to walk, feed, care, and tend to your pet during your preferred times of day. I am also available to house sit and stay overnight with your pet. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I will take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure the needs of your pet are prioritized. I will provide updates, send photos of your pet, and communicate clearly. I am respectful, accountable, and will closely follow any instructions you have set for your pet.
“What a pleasure Liliana is! She was so patient with both me & my newly adopted pup. She really took the time to understand both of our needs! So happy I found a great dog walker in the area!”
“Alissa is wonderful! She is patient, kind, attentive, and a great caregiver to our old man dog. From the start, she treated him with such gentleness and respect. We always felt at ease knowing he was in her care. Our Frankie can be a little slow and stubborn these days, but Alissa showed incredible patience and made sure he was safe and happy on their walks. It’s clear she truly loves animals and takes her role seriously. We are so grateful to have found her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate walker!”
“I went on an 8 day trip and Chelsea took great care of my dog. She was highly responsive, paid close attention to detail, and went above and beyond for Shinji. 10/10 would recommend! She's a great choice for your dog.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for multiple cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of feline behavior, needs, and personalities. I currently share my home with two female cats Daisy and Lucy. I’ve nurtured cats from kittenhood through their senior years, providing loving, attentive care every step of the way. While I’m a lifelong cat owner, I also have a genuine love for dogs and enjoy spending time with them just as much, whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or simply giving them the affection they crave. I’m actively working toward a dog training certificate to further strengthen my skills and knowledge. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, especially since I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular feedings, playtime, and any needed care throughout the day. Whether it's scheduled walks, medication, or just some extra cuddle time, I'm able to be present and responsive to each pet’s needs. It's truly a joy to incorporate caring for animals into my everyday life. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I provide pets with a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and playtime, to ensure consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. In my home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of affection, supervision, and enrichment. My goal is always to keep pets happy, healthy, and cared for just like they’re my own.
About: I love all animals and have experience dog/cat sitting for the past 8 years. I walked dogs while in college and high school. I’ve taken care of numerous people’s pets while they have been out of town and enjoy doing so! I’ve had a dog all my life she lived to be 18 years old and she was one of my best friends! I hope to help you with your furry friends. I am available to walk and look after dogs on weekends. I work but work from home 3 days a week and can walk around that schedule. I am located right next to a wonderful trail to have the animals walk. I live in a spacious apartment that welcomes animals. I’ll make sure pets have everything they need. I make sure to feed them and let them know I’m there for anything they might need.
About: I have experience with dog training, specifically puppies. I had the good fortune of learning how to train my Border Collie puppy, Khailo, (now 10) with a CCI-certified service dog trainer specializing in puppies. Khailo and I saw the trainer multiple times per week for about a year, establishing a good foundation that he always go back to. Raising Khailo taught me so much and turned me into a HUGE dog lover. Prior to that I liked dogs, now I LOVE them, and speak their language. I know how to properly walk a dog instead of letting the pup walk me, I know how to encourage good habits, and I will ALWAYS keep your dog's safety a number one priority. I also have experience administering medication to both puppies and adult dogs, have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs, have experience watching multiple dogs at once, and also have experience with play-dates and dog parks. I will treat your pup as if they are my own. I look forward to being of service to you and your pup! I currently work full-time with a hybrid schedule, where I’m in the office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I have both daytime and evening availability on Tuesdays, Fridays, weekends, and all major holidays. I am also available on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings before 8 am and evenings after 6:15 pm. I am open to both short-term and long-term set schedules to accommodate you and your pup's needs, and am available for boarding both at my home and pet-sitting at your place of residence. I live in a very pet-friendly community with lots of outdoor space for your pup to play, as well as an indoor dog park for inclement and/or freezing temperatures. When providing care at your home, I will respect all rules you have for your pup, such as not being allowed on furniture, etc. and will stick to your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable. I would be providing service outside of my home. Your pup’s safety is my number one priority and, having been trained by a CCI service dog trainer myself, I am well-versed in translating your dog behavior, thus keeping them safe in all environments and under all circumstances. I am a very maternal person, and will give your pup all of the love, care and attention they need!
About: Not just another dog lover! I’ve had at least one dog, plus, at all times. Most from a puppy until departure. Experience with rescued dogs in making them feel comfortable/relaxed. We had a rescue from Hurricane Katrina. I’m very patient, caring, & don’t mind petting or playing all day. I’m hoping to give them the love and care when you can’t be ther. I work from home several days during the week and can properly share my time for walks, feeding, and playing. I have a Cocker Spaniel who gets along with other dogs well. I’m home in the evenings and weekends. I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with plenty of grassy areas and usually take my dog on a walk in the neighborhood. I don’t have any furniture or bed restrictions. I am happy to sit at your home, if preferred.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life — from our childhood Irish Setter, Sadie, to our five cats and three birds. Beyond family pets, I’ve also cared for my own animals, including my boss’s elderly Chihuahua, Tu, who is now a sweet 15‑year‑old “little old lady” that I look after entirely, as well as my pony, Sea Star. I bottle‑fed Sea Star as a child, trained him to ride, and taught him to pull a cart throughout high school. I have hands-on experience that I believe typical pet-sitters do not hold. Some examples include dog-sitting for our neighbors for two summers in middle school, managing their eight rescue dogs with no issues and also volunteering to feed and care for a friend’s 13 horses once a week, morning and night, throughout an entire winter. I also just completed a 2 month house sitting job for a family this summer. I maintained their home, their many, many plants and also took detailed care of their 3 adorable cats. Over the years, I’ve taken responsibility for all of our family pets as well when parents or siblings have gone away on trips (canaries, parakeets, 2 dogs and 5 cats.) I’m comfortable with animals of every temperament, size, and background, and many people say I have a natural ability to get animals to warm up to me quickly even if they struggle with fear and/or anxiety. I treat every animal as a valuable, sentient creature deserving of respect, patience, and kindness. My priority is always to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Currently I'm in part time online school and only working flexible jobs such as pet-sitting, house sitting, babysitting etc. With this work life, my availability is flexible and I am able to prioritize your pets schedule. I do have resposibilities at my church on Sundays and Tuesdays for part of the day and am also driving two high-school girls to and from school every other week consistently. These are the only set in stone commitments I have currently. I do not guarantee full 24/7 care however I will do my best to be as available as I can be! I believe that the way a person treats animals reveals their true character so I go out of my way to show honor, patience and tender love to all animals, no matter there species or personalities. I will prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment for every animal. I will also follow all rules and routines to ensure that every animal under my care is comfortable and not thrown off. In a client’s home, I will maintain their established feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any training or behavioral expectations the owner has in place. I make sure water is always fresh, the space stays clean, and the pet receives plenty of attention and any reassurance they need. I’m attentive to body language and comfort levels, and I adjust my interactions to match each animal’s personality and needs. Safety is always my top priority. I double‑check doors, gates, and enclosures, monitor for any signs of stress or illness, and ensure that walks, playtime, and outdoor time are supervised and appropriate for the pet’s age, energy level, and temperament. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and genuinely cared for, and for every owner to know their animal is in trustworthy, capable hands.
“Jocelyn took great care of Rosa during her walks. Very responsive, on time, and sent lots of pics. Will definitely be reaching out to her again, and highly recommend her.”

“Trinity was amazing! Cash and her did well at the meet n greet. She informed me of the walk schedule, sent plenty of pictures and even noticed he needed a little extra TLC and jumped right on it. She was patient with his anxiety and even took him to the dog park daily. I look forward to working with Trinity again. Cash loves her!!”

“I’ve been dragging my feet on leaving this review for one reason alone: I want to keep Elizabeth to myself! She is the best sitter I’ve been able to find on this app, and she is great at communicating both prior to a booking and during as well. My dog comes back happy and tired every time he stays with her and is always so excited to go back to her house. I trust her with my dog every time!”
“Francise was great! She was able to accommodate us on short notice when our plans changed and was super sweet with Seamus. We got lots of pictures of him while we were away and I was very comfortable he was being well taken care of. I would absolutely use her again!”
“Once again, Lauren was really fantastic with my neurotic little pup. As he has gotten older, he has become more quirky. She adapts wonderfully to every situation. She sends regular updates as well. I would trust her with any dog. Thank you Lauren!”
“So happy to have found Alyce! Brody was so well taken care of and Alyce was incredibly responsive and sent lots of pictures. So appreciative to her and her family!”
“Kerstyn was so amazing to help us out last minute! Our dog, Wilson, enjoyed his stay and we could tell from the photos and videos shared that he was well cared for. We definitely will be reaching out to Kerstyn to watch our dog in the future!”
“Aisha was so amazing in taking care of our high energy doggo for a whole week while we were away for our wedding!! I received updates and photos every day. I was nervous at first because this was our first time using Rover or going away without our doggo, but Aisha made me feel confident and comfortable in her abilities to take care of our boy the very first hour she had him! He had a blast playing at the dog park, got to go on long walks, and made a new doggo friend with her dog. I HIGHLY recommend Aisha to anyone and will definitely be booking her again in the future (if she'll have our silly pup again!) If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was amazing!”
“Kelly was a great dogsitter! She was very responsive and sent us pictures regularly, so we could relax and enjoy our vacation. And I think our dog had as good of a vacation as we did! Kelly played lots of fetch with him and made sure he was loved and spoiled.”
“Melanie, Greg, and their family were very kind, patient, and communicative about Phoebe during her first overnight stay away from home. We would definitely book them again!”
“Julie was amazing! My pup is an anxious one, and she was so happy and comfy here 😊 Julie was communicative about how she was doing, and Penny had a wonderful time”
“Nala had such a fun sleep over with Nyla and her other dogs. I appreciated all of the updates and photos and videos! I rescued Nala just 3 weeks ago and was grateful to Nyla for understanding that I don’t know everything about Nala yet. I’d love for Nala to be able to return to her loving care.”
“Super responsive, super friendly, sent tons of pictures and videos during the stay. Even went above and beyond to handle some of our dog's particular issues/factors.”
“We were so happy with our experience with Helena and Nathan! After another Rover cancelled on us last minute, they fit us in and truly saved the day! Their yard was amazing - especially for our 95 lb mutt who just loves to run. And our little old man loved the cozy beds around the house. They sent pics and videos every day and our boys came back happy and healthy. As a bonus, while we have noticed our dogs often come back from Rovers smelling like a kennel, after a weekend with Helena and Nathan they came back smelling great!”
“Tia and Mario are amazing! Our dog Obi was so happy being at their home. I can’t say enough good things about them. He played, snuggled and had the time of life with them!”
“We were so happy that Michelle was able to help us out last minute. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout Titans stay with her family. We will definitely book again for future stays.”
