“Jenny took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs absolutely loved her and we were stress free leaving them with her the entire weekend. Thanks Jenny! :)”


2. Angie B.

“We had the best experience with Angie! Although we were 1st time users of Rover, from the moment we met Angie, we knew our beloved Thunder would be in the best hands possible for his very 1st overnight stay away from home. Angie kept us updated with periodic pics & videos throughout his stay with her, which was such an awesome touch. I hope our next Rover sitter will be able to live up to Angie's standards because she's set the bar very high!!”


3. Rachel M.

“Our experience with Rachel was wonderful! She sent us regular updates, pictures and videos. Our Gracie girl was spoiled! Hoping we can book with again in the future!”


4. Shannon F.

“Hi Shannon, Thank you for a great weekend! I had so much fun playing with your dogs on all that land! I was in heaven! Simba and I had so much fun! You were so nice to me and kept me company during some loud rumbling noises in the sky. I don’t like the light flashes either but you let me follow you when I was scared. My hoo-mans travel plans changed but you talked to them to make sure it all worked out and assured by sending pics of me being a good boy! I was so tired on the car ride home mommy and daddy were laughing that I snored so loud during a car ride!! I even woke my hooman baby I was so loud! (My head was on his feet) Thank you and I hope to visit again sometime! Love, Harlow”

8. Brooke B.

“Brooke did great job looking after our dogs. One of our dogs has anxiety and he did great with her and her family. She accommodated our request and we would definitely use her again in the future. Thanks for the great care!”


9. Baylee E.
“Baylee has had a love of animals since she was little. She has been around dogs and cats her entire life and they always seem to know that she is kind and loving. She has cared for other people’s pets on several occasions and done an exceptional job. Baylee has 2 dogs of her own that she has raised to be very friendly and sweet. Baylee would sooner let herself get hurt than allow any animal to be in harms way.”


10. Allen G.

“Allen did a wonderful job taking care of our girl and was very responsive to messages as well as flexible with drop off and pick up times. We would definitely love to book with Allen again ?”


11. Sonja & Tim B.


“We've used Sonja and Tim through Rover multiple times, and we couldn't be more pleased with the care they provide for Rudy. They treat him like family, and we always feel completely at ease when they're in charge. They go above and beyond with adorable photos that show how happy Rudy is.”




12. Eric W.

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased that Eric was our first experience! Our dog loved her stay at his home. He has the whole upper floor dedicated to the dogs staying with him. Has a large fenced-in backyard too, which was perfect for her. We were lucky that he was caring for a few other dogs, so she had friends to play with during her stay too. Whenever she needs a place to stay, Eric will be at the top of our list.”


13. Bethany B.

“Bethany was wonderful your Benny! She exercised him, played with him and kept him entertained with her two other dogs. She communicated well and sent plenty of pictures while we were away! Will definitely be using Bethany again!”


14. Savannah J.

“Savannah was great to work with. My cat Leo was returned to me healthy and happy. I was sent severely pictures of Leo during the week I was on vacation. I would be happy to use Savannah again!”


15. Adrienne & Susan A.
“Adrienne is an animal lover. She’s very caring, responsible, and her animals are her life. I would recommend Adrienne for pet sitting, or any other rover service she provides.”


16. Kennedy B.

“Kennedy was fantastic to work with and we would love to be able to have our pup back in her care when/if we need to step out of town again!”


17. Jennifer Z.

“Jennifer was an amazing experience that I had. She was very friend, attention and respectful. Also, she took care of my dog as her dog. Definitely, I will book more time with her in the future.”


18. Chelsey & Lucas B.


“Chelsey & Lucas were so accommodating, detailed oriented & communicative during my dogs stay at their home. I received regular in depth updates & treated my dog like one of their own. They are an active, energetic, dog loving home. I would highly recommend!!”


19. Kearstin S.
“Kearstin is not only an all around amazing human being, but she’s a girl who loves all animals, especially dogs. She is a phenomenal dog mama to her fur baby Joe who her and her husband rescued. The patience she has with him and the connection she has made with him is truly inspiring. I have seen first hand how gentle, nurturing, loving, and responsible she is with her own, and other dogs. I would absolutely trust her with my own fur babies Lilly and Beau.”


20. Tee-Tee L.


“We will definitely be using Tee-tee again anytime we need a sitter!! I was a little sad to leave Coco while I went on vacation, we were gone for about a week and I was worried that Coco would be uneasy being away from home so long but when we did the meet and greet I could tell that Coco felt super comfortable at Tee-tee’s place :) Tee-tee sent plenty of pictures/videos which eased my mind and took away any guilt I felt about leaving Coco as I knew she was in great hands and feeling happy and at home with Tee-tee!”
