“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”
“Yuan was amazing with our nervous little Ollie. He stayed for 4 days and Yuan was wonderful keeping us informed of how he was doing. Ollie will be going back for a longer visit soon.”
“Julie was great. She communicated quickly and sent pictures of my dog everyday. He seemed happy, which was one less thing I worried about. I will use her again.”
“Adrienne and her family were great caregivers for our dogs during our vacation. She sent photos and updates twice a day so we knew what they were up to. Awesome pet sitter and we highly recommend!”
“I couldn't be happier with Yelena! My pups were well taken care of, with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. Yelena was incredibly flexible with my schedule and always responsive to any questions or updates I needed. The regular photos and updates gave me a peace of mind while away. It’s clear she treats every pet like her own. Highly recommend!”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”
“Karen took great care of Dakota. She sent videos, pics and updates throughout her stay. Dakota was relaxed and happy at pickup. I recommend Karen and will definitely contact her for care in the future.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Trent and his family!! They were incredibly attentive and accommodating! As soon as we arrived and my dog (German shepherd) met Rebekah, I instantly knew that our dog was in good hands. When I got back, my dog appeared happy to see me but not anxious to get back home…which warmed my heart because I knew she was being well cared for!”
“Regular updates, communication, photos and video! Katy and her dogs kept Piper entertained and safe during our extended vacation…Will definitely keep her on a short list for future bookings!”
“Jennifer was the perfect choice for us and our two furry friends! We booked her for several days over Thanksgiving and she was so patient and flexible with our changing drop-off and pickup times! She is also extremely knowledgeable and really helped lower my anxiety about leaving my anxious and older dog and my quirky puppy for the first time in a long time! Definitely recommend with no hesitation and she’ll be the first Rover sitter we look for next time we have to leave them!”
“Josh has watched our dogs a few times and has done a great job. They adore him and it feels so good to leave them with someone we trust. They get good exercise and we love getting pictures of them!”
“Outstanding care of our beloved Schnauzer! This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t be more pleased with Chris. Our dog came home happy instead of traumatized when she’s had to stay at kennel. Chris even sent pictures and updates while we were gone. Thank you!”
“Shyann is the best! Our Lexi has stayed with her twice and loved it! Lexi was on medication and not eating like she normally does, Shyann had no problems with our instructions and handled everything like a pro! It’s such a relief when you go out of town knowing that someone is really giving care and love to your furry family member, and that’s what Shyann does! We can relax and enjoy our trip, Shyann sends us fun and adorable pics & videos of Lexi and we really appreciate the extra effort she puts in doing that!”
“Kyungyeon was AMAZING with our depressed doggie! He always mopes and eats very little when we are away, but Kyungyeon would not give up until he felt comfortable and happy in her home! We got so many pictures and updates and I am so grateful for the amazing care she took of our Obi!”
“Amanda and her family took care of Chubbs like he was their own. They were flexible when I needed to modify the dates. They were quick to respond. He loved it there and I will be using them in the future.”
