“After a few half-day stays with Dyvonne, I felt very comfortable leaving my little mommy's girl with her for a week. Dyvonne is great about communicating and sending photos, and her home and yard are set up for dogs to enjoy their days and nights.”

“Isabel was so thoughtful, kind and wonderful with our senior pup. She sent us pictures daily and gave us regular updates. I felt as if she loved our dog as her own. We would highly recommend Isabel! 🫶🏻”

“Vanessa has cared for our dog, Amos multiple times. She is thoughtful and dedicated to making sure he gets the care he needs. She keeps us updated on the day's activities and is diligent with any instructions we leave. We trust her explicitly.”


“Kirsten did a phenomenal job in taking care of our dog! She and her family were very kind and loving. She also shared daily updates with photos of our dog to ensure us that he was having a great time while we were away! I can't thank Kirsten and her family enough and I highly recommend them!”

“Martine & Ronald take such great care of our boys always, I don’t know what we’d do without them! They welcome them into their home as if they were their own pets and are so flexible, loving, and caring. I never once worry about their care when they are staying with this family. Cannot recommend them enough!”

“Andrea was amazing! This was my first time ever using Rover and I am so pleased. I had I had to travel for work and I ended up getting a flat tire on the way home and she was understanding and amazing! I will be using her again!”

“Kona was well taken care of by Yaryna and her family. She came home happy and full of energy. I got daily updates on how she was doing. She also got some good walks, which not all Rover sitters will do. I liked how she only takes one pet at a time. Very happy.”


“This is the second time Britanny took care of Fox, and he had a wonderful time again with her and her corgi!! Thanks Britanny for taking such good care of him.”
“This was Timpa’s second stay with Tania and once again, Timpa had an amazing time! Tania treats Timpa like she is part of the family and we can’t recommend her enough. We are so thankful for her wonderful care!”

“Sarah has such a great connection with animals and is absolutely amazing! She came to our rescue and watched our mini dachshund puppy (Freddie) while my husband and I went a trip we booked months ago. She is very attentive, and took Freddie on several walks and play sessions to keep him engaged and stimulated throughout the day. She sent us multiple videos and photos daily to keep us in the loop, and it put our minds at ease knowing Freddie was receiving so much love, attention, and was clearly having a great time. We highly recommend Sarah as a petsitter, and would love to have her watch Freddie again.”

“This was the first time I’ve ever left Zara with anyone outside of my home. But, let me tell you….Zara and I feel extremely lucky to have found and been able to use Lesley for Zara’s stay. Lesley and her family were absolutely amazing and took such good care of Zara. It was clear that Lesley loves animals and takes this “job” seriously. Lesley and her family truly welcomed and treated Zara as their own. It took Zara a while to warm up being in a new environment and all. But, once she did, you could tell she was enjoying herself. Lesley cared for Zara in the same way(s) I do; following our usual eating, sleeping, and playing routines. Lesley maintained great communication with me and provided me with updates and several pictures and a video. All of which eased my anxiety a ton! I can’t praise Lesley and her family enough! I will be booking with Lesley again in the future. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!”

“We had a great experience with Krissy. She kept our 3yr old doodle for 3 days. She communicated well with us and was very kind and thoughtful. I think Ruby enjoyed her family while we were away. Thankful for being able to find someone great last minute. Thanks Krissy!”

“Daniela was the best pet sitter for my 5 month old puppy! She was so responsive and sent me pictures everyday. She did everything necessary to put me at ease so I could enjoy my trip and not worry that Hallie was being taken care of. I came home to a very happy baby who wasn’t ready to leave Daniela! Will definitely book with her again for our next trip!”

“Oreo had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She has everything needed to make the dogs feel well taken care of. She shared photos with me and kept me updated how she was doing. Will certainly use her again!”

“Super grateful for Deanna!! Had to go out of town my first weekend living in Raleigh, and I knew my pup was in good hands with her! She had other cute little dogs for him to play with too! Loved getting pics and updates!”

“Grace was so amazing with Bella while I was out of town. I received updates with pictures and videos and i could see that Bella was having a ton of fun. Grace and her hubby love my Bella like their own and have truly been a blessing for me!”

“Over all great! Took great care of my dog and updated me on her well being throughout the whole night! Even made her a scarf which was also so sweet! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!”


“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”

West dog parents share their Rover experiences
Sarah is an amazing sitter! She sent daily photo and video updates and provided my pup with tons of walks, outside time and play time. My dog looked so happy in every photo she sent, it’s clear she gives lots of attention and love. She and her roommate Jacob are wonderful people and I highly recommend trusting them to care for your pets!

Taylor was FANTASTIC. We had never left our dog with anyone besides family before so this was a big leap of faith. Our dog is super anxious and Taylor worked to make her comfortable. She was incredibly responsive and sent lots of updates. Definitely spoiled our girl.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of (and spoiling) Remi while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, knowing she was with such a caring family helped us truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear from the updates, photos and videos that she was happy, and well cared for, and that meant so much to us. We really appreciate the time, and extra attention, you showed her. Thank you again for giving us such peace of mind — we would absolutely trust you with her again in the future.

Griffin provided exceptional care for my little beagle, Abbey, during a recent, lengthy boarding stay. My wife and I were traveling out of state for medical reasons and Griffin couldn’t have been more considerate, communicative, and accommodating. As someone who has been using Rover consistently for well over a decade, I cannot recommend Griffin enough!

Andrea took amazing care of my dog and treated him like one of her own. She checked in daily with updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When he came home, he was completely wiped out from all the playing and fun he had. It was clear he was well cared for, happy, and loved the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Here’s a review for Rob: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rob was absolutely wonderful with Teddy and Charlie! It was clear from the moment he met them that he genuinely loves dogs. He kept me updated with photos and messages throughout his time with them, which gave me such peace of mind. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. We’ll definitely be booking Rob again — highly recommend!

Erin came in clutch after our sitter had to cancel due to a family. She was an amazing hostess, gave my dog, lots of love plenty of walks and kept me updated on how he used to. I really appreciate her and I look forward to getting to spend more time with her and Iggy.

Kiyah did an amazing job watching my pup for me on a weekend when I was traveling. She was very responsive from the very beginning and even set up time to meet Cosmo before his stay! Additionally, she took the time to ask questions about him and understand his schedule to make sure he would be as comfortable as possible. During his stay Kiyah did a great job of keeping me updated throughout each day and took him on lots of walks and visits to the dog park. I also received lots of cute pictures with each update! Considering this was the first time I would be away from my pup for a few days, I can say that she made me feel comfortable leaving Cosmo in her care! I recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter! Definitely going to book again :)

Allison & Bradley are star sitters! They took my dog on plenty of walks during his stay and sent lots of photos and updates. I know them personally and they are trustworthy, loving, and responsible. Highly recommend booking with them if you want your pup to return safe, happy and tired :)

My dog can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, but Anna had her cuddling in her lap and giving her kisses in no time. She's a great communicator, sending me frequent pictures and updates. It was such a relief to know that Ember was so relaxed, will definitely book her again!

Vanessa was so easy to work with! She was a great communicator and took the time to ask all of the right questions during our meet and greet in order to learn all about our dog’s habits and needs. She took great care of our pup, and gave us an update and photos each evening of our dog’s adventures that day. Our dog seemed happy and well cared for! We will definitely be requesting to use Vanessa again soon!
