“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“G is one of the best sitters I have met on Rover. She was really great with our dogs and treated then with love and care. She gave us daily updates on our dogs and made sure that they had plenty of space and time to play. She treated my dogs as her own and let them play and run around her home, sleep on the bed etc. I'm really glad that I left my dogs in her care and would highly recommend her! Milli and Bujji miss you G and they would love to meet you again!”
“Our dog just stayed with Oana and Oliver for the week and it was very reassuring to leave her knowing that she was in good hands. Oana and Oliver are very attentive to the dogs, bring them on walk through the woods and send us lots of photos every night to show us the activities and cute moments during the day. We will definitely use their services again!”
“Ozzi had such a great time with Yang and her family. They welcomed him into their home and took great care of him. We received photos and videos every day to keep us updated, which was very appreciated. He will definitely go back on our next time away!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“This was our second stay with Paul & Megan and I feel ever more grateful for them and the love they provide for our girl Nala. They take such great care of our girl, so extremely thoughtful. We got lots of pictures and videos of her days, which are full of enrichment activities and being around others and family. I felt fully informed of everything that was going on in such a positive and reassuring manner. We can really tell Nala loves spending her time here.”
“Lori was great! This was my first time leaving my pup and she made it a great experience! Lori was great with the dogs, has a fenced in yard and sent me videos of my pup playing and having a blast! I’ll be sure to use Lori again!”
“Luciana and her family took excellent care of Tessie during her stay with them. Tessie is a very needy pup who likes to be close to people as much as possible and I could tell that she was able to have the kind of attention she needs during her stay with Luciana. She also loves, loves, loves walks and Luciana and her family took her on lots of walks to some of her favorite places. Luciana sent me daily photos and updates and I could always tell from her updates that she was really spending a lot of time getting to know Tessie and all of her quirks (she has a lot!). I am always a little stressed when I go on vacation and leave Tessie with a sitter but I felt very sure that Tessie was being well cared for and loved during her stay with Luciana which made my vacation much more enjoyable. I will absolutely book another stay with Luciana in the future.”
“She always takes such wonderful care of my dog Eloise. To the point where she doesn’t even seem sad when she has to leave me 😂 because she knows she is going to have so much fun with Yesika. My go-to!”
“Kyra had the best time with Aurora and her sweet pup Madi! I was in Europe for a week and felt so at ease with constant updates and photos while I was away! I can’t recommend Aurora enough and feel confident in using her services again next time I go away!”
“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
“Chanel was amazing with my elderly dog, who is a kind of persnickety old lady. She sent pics regularly (including her very cute toddler son "helping" with a walk) and let me know everything was going well. She was patient and flexible with scheduling and made me feel completely at ease boarding my beloved pup with her. I would love to bring my dog back to stay with Chanel in the future!”
“It was our first time boarding on Rover and Vanessa provided a great experience! The process was smooth from booking to pickup, and Vanessa sent plenty of photos and updates so we knew how our pup was doing the entire time. Would recommend!”
“Luke has been absolutely wonderful with our dog Murphy. This was our pup’s second stay with him, and it is clear how much he genuinely cares. Our dog loves him and always comes home happy, relaxed, and well looked after. Luke communicates clearly, sends updates, and creates a welcoming environment. It gives tremendous peace of mind knowing our dog is safe and enjoying his time while we are away. Highly recommend Luke for anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate sitter.”
“Hannah is wonderful! Our dog, Chente, loves staying with her. She is responsive, professional, and always send photos of our dog on their walks or in her house. Will definitely book again.”
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“My pup had an absolute blast staying with Kimberly & Brian! They were very communicative, sent lots of photos, and I felt very comfortable leaving him with them. He had a great time playing in their yard and with their dog Daisy! I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Katherine was wonderful with my dog! We did a meet and greet before the stay and my dog was so excited to see her when I dropped her off for the extra long weekend! I would highly recommend Katherine!”

Deb was an excellent sitter for my dog Rocky. She was very communicative and kept us informed. She sent us home with a gift for my soccer playing pup that was sweet and unexpected. Her yard is beautiful and she is very active with her charges. Highly recommend! We be rebooking.
Left Reggie while we were overseas and was 100% confident that he was in good hands and having a good time. He's can be kind of hesitant, but Belinda was in tune with him and very aware of how he and the other dogs interacted with one another, and she genuinely seems to really like having the pups around. Her house is a great setup, with a fenced in yard and lots of space indoors for multiple dogs to be there at the same time. Will absolutely leave Reg with her again!
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
For the past few years, I've been so lucky to be able to trust Carol with Copper when I have to travel. She has taken such good care of him every time, keeping me updated with lots of pictures and any concerns. While this is the last time I will be able to hire Carol to dogsit, as Copper and I are moving to California, we wish we could take her with us. It's going to be hard to find someone to do nearly as good of a job! You will be very missed!
Courtney is amazing! She watched our boy Brody for 3 nights and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She has a kind nature and I felt instantly comfortable with her. She took him for multiple walks each day and sent us many pics and updates. He was even sad when we left her, which was a true sign he was in good hands. We will hire Courtney again without hesitation!
Luke is amazing! This was our third time leaving our pup Peanut with Luke and Peanut had a great time. Luke took Peanut on a winter hike and cared for him so well. We are grateful that Luke was available given how much our pup loves staying at Luke’s. Our pup literally ran to Luke when we dropped him off :) thanks again Luke for taking such good care of Peanut and for sending regular updates :)
Katia is an excellent caregiver. She kept us well-informed about how our dog, Riker, was doing multiple times a day, including photos and videos. She asked all the right questions, and she didn't flinch at taking care of an old, 13-year-old border collie who can be an extreme challenge for others (including us). I would highly recommend her and I hope Riker can stay with her in the future.
Vibutesh took really good care of Ori during a last minute booking we had. He sent us frequent updates and accomodated all of our requests for Ori. He was also very flexible with timings and such. I highly recommend Vibutesh and would definitely book him again for Ori !
