“This was my first time using Rover & I was nervous but Melanie took fantastic care of our dog. She kept me updated, sent pictures, & Lucy, our pup, is happy as can be. I highly recommend her services.”
“Ivana treated Max like he was her family. He was happy feeling part of the team with her dogs. He was pampered and loved. I will definitely use Ivana again.. so satisfied with her care for Max.🥰”
“My cat Cindy is flourishing under Debora's loving care, and Cindy was already doing very well. She is being exposed to new situations at Debora's house and is thriving. It is wonderful to see her so comfortable in Debora's home.”
“Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Another great stay for our pup with Holly! We are so grateful to Holly for accommodating a last minute stay that our dog clearly loved. Excellent communication and care.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was pleased with Jessica’s quick response time and enthusiasm to meet and care for Blanca. The process was easy and drop off went smoothly. Jessica’s dog was in a kennel when we arrived to make drop off less stressful for both dogs. The pups were introduced after we left to get their sniffing done on neutral territory (on a walk out front). We received photos and updates during our whole time away and knew Blanca was happy and safe. We would be happy to use Jessica again in the future!”
“I’m so happy I picked Tam and Alexander to watch our dog while we were out of town! The communication was great and I received so many pictures and updates. I would 100% recommend them and we will for sure use them again when we travel ☺️”
“Kimberlee provided an amazing home for my Oakley to stay at! She took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. I could tell Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well loved while I was away. Kimberlee kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring Rover sitter!”
“Our little Franklin LOVES Miss Cindy! We know he is always in good hands with her. We love her too and she is now our go-to Rover for Franklin. I wouldn’t want to use anyone else!”
“Jordana was amazing with my dogs. I received great communication and pictures while I was away on my trip. She provided excellent care for my dogs and showed them so much love! I just got back today and am already requesting her for my next trip! Thank you, Jordana!”
“Angela and Dan provided amazing care for our dog, Thunder. They loved him as their own! They sent us updates and pics and made us feel very comfortable. They were very flexible with pick up and drop off. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Erin and Chris are amazing!! They were super responsive. Genuinely listened to all of my dog mom concerns and were gracious and accommodating!! I got lots of pictures with updates and reassurance that everything was going well!! I will absolutely rebook with them when I have future needs!!”
“Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”
“Grizzly loved his long stay with Kylie! My husband and I could fully enjoy our vacation stress free knowing Grizzly was in amazing hands. Would recommend Kylie and her family to anyone looking for a home away from home for their fur baby!”
“Alok was amazing with our dog Emma! She was with him for almost two weeks and he took such good care of her, we felt very at ease that she was happy. We will definitely be using Alok in the future for watching our dog.”
“My doodles had such a great time with Meagan in her home! She has a gorgeous spacious backyard for them to run and play in, which they LOVE. My boys always sleep great the night I pick them up, so I know they wore themselves out having fun! I’ll definitely keep using Meagan as a sitter when I’m out of town 🙂”
