1. Iliana A.
“Iliana was AMAZING to my Cookies! I received pictures of him and updates while I was away and when I can go pick him up he was freshly bathed and smelled so good! Oh and his bed too! I will definitely be booking with you again! ??”
2. Jessie G.
“From the moment our dog met Jessie we knew she’d be a great dog sitter. He was excited to see her for the weekend after the quick meet and greet and clearly had a great time with her. Jessie was so attentive and genuine, sent great updates, and clearly was taking good care of and enjoying Kylo. She’s everything we could have hoped for in a sitter!!”
3. R. Imari M.
“I cannot recommend Imari enough! She was so good with Dougie, making sure that he was comfortable when I left him and giving him lots of love and exercise. She was so great at communicating with me to let me know how he was doing and sending pictures and videos. It was so nice to know that my pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend Imari and would book with her again!”
4. Natasha W.
“Natasha was amazing! We were first time Rover users, and Natasha went above and beyond to make sure our shy dog was comfortable: giving lots of personalized attention, making special peanut butter treats, and even sleeping on the couch with her for a couple nights when she was feeling especially anxious. We got frequent updates with photos and stories of how each day was going, so we always had peace of mind knowing that our dog was being well cared for. Highly recommend Natasha!”
5. Hawthorne & Wei S.
“Hawthorne was a great communicator, was super accommodating with our schedule, & sent us so many great photos & videos of our dog Vesper during our time away. We’ve already rebooked with him for our next trip! 🐶🙏”
6. Grace & Wu G.
“Great experience with Grace. She has a fenced backyard that the dogs can play in. She provides daily picture updates and tells u how your dog is doing. Very accommodating to any requests. Would definitely book again!”
7. Anthony M.
“Anthony was super understanding when it came to our puppy’s schedule while boarding our two pups. He provided frequent updates so that we didn’t have to worry about how he was doing. Great overall experience.”
8. Heidy F.
“We are so glad we found Heidy and her family to watch our two boxer girls. When we dropped them off our dogs were a bit apprehensive at the new experience, but they clearly had a good time when we picked them up. Great home environment, convenient location, and awesome people! Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!”
9. sammy l.
“Sammy was incredible!!! Luna was super well cared for and loved, which is te most important thing. From the first day Sammy was looking at options for Lina to relax and being calm when being in a new place. Sammy kept us informed every day of how Luna was feeling, sent us photos and beautiful videos. Sammy was attentive to her walks, meals and even allowed us to extend our vacations by taking extra days of care Luna. I recommend Sammy 100%, it is without a doubt the best place to leave Luna during our next trip. Thank you so much for being such a loving, thoughtful and beautiful person. 💜”
10. Deborah O.
“Deborah was wonderful with Mango! She was a great communicator and gave us updates with photos at every meal. She took Mango on plenty of walks and was great about following the instructions that we provided her with. Will definitely be interested in booking Deborah in the future.”
11. Claire H.
“Claire is an incredibly kind and attentive pet-sitter! She watched my two cats, one of whom is extremely shy/anxious and provided daily updates with photos on how they were doing over the course of my trip. This was my first time using Rover or traveling away from my cats for longer than a few days, and I will definitely board them with Claire again when I next need catsitting.”
12. Vivian L.
“Vivian is amazing. She was very communicative, friendly, prompt and flexible. Charlie seemed so content and relaxed upon his return. He def enjoyed his stay. Will definitely be using Vivians services again!!”
13. John C.
“This was the second time my Noodles spent time with John. He came home super calm, happy and tired which is so unusual for this energetic puppy. Thank you so much!”
14. Eleanor L.
“Elanor was amazing. The drop-off and pick-up process was very smooth and easy. She was exceptionally great to communicate with, and she showed genuine care by asking for all the details about my dog's routine. I appreciate everything she did and highly recommend her.”
15. Pamela S.
“To say Pamela was amazing would be an understatement. My 7yr old mini-dachshund has never stood with anyone while away other then family, so this was the first time he stood with someone completely new. Pamela was extremely responsive, constantly sending pictures and updates, treating my dog like he was one of hers. The amount of love and compassion she has for animals is unmatched and a breath of fresh air. My little Oscar had a blast with her dogs, consistently playing with them and just being a dog. She is well equipped when it comes to boarding your dog. She has these amazing reviews for a reason and after leaving my little guy with her for 8 days I can see why. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be using Pamela again for future stays. Thank you Pamela!”
16. Naomi M.
“Finding Naomi was a serendipity. Two other nearby sitters cancelled on us. So, at the last minute, we booked a stay with Naomi even though she lives 45 minutes away. Despite the short notice, Naomi made herself available for a meet and greet before we left town. Right away, we felt very comfortable with her. She and her son were very calm and comfortable with our very excited dog. Naomi is an excellent dog sitter. Her experience with animals shows. She was very at-ease with our excitable 2-year-old. She took great care of her and communicated with me throughout our time away. We will definitely be taking our pup back to stay with Naomi and her son again.”
17. Drew T.
“Drew was great I booked last minute. Drew is very calm. My dog can be anxious but he was not with Drew. Drew took him on short walks as we had discussed and sent pics. My job ran overtime and he was very nice and flexible about my late pick up My dog came and home very relaxed and happy. Thank you Drew!”
18. Denise L.
“My 90lb doodle had such a great time spending the weekend with Denise! She was great at communicating and sent me photos while I was away. I will definitely be booking Denise again!”
19. Dasja A.
“Dasja was awesome—as my first time doing rover dogsitting I was naturally nervous and we spoke on the phone days before, she answered all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent photos and videos the whole day and my dog was happy and exhausted by the time he was home. Will definetly use her again!!”
20. Keunyung P.
