“Victoria is amazing and responsive. She provides many updates and is flexible when our travel plans have gone awry. Our dogs are in the best care possible when they stay with her.”
“I have been using Richard for years because he is wonderful with my dog. He is always the first person I request service from because you cannot find a better person to take care of your furry friend.”
“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”
“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”
“She was great with kona, and Kona has a lot of energy! I got lot’s of updates with pictures/videos. I would recommend her and I would go back again if needed!”
“The communication before and during the stay was excellent. It was the first time Nelia kept my pet and I received an update on the first night that Princess was adapting well: it was comforting to know it was going well. Upon pickup Nelia shared some specifics about my pet's stay and all of my pets things were together and orderly. Both the drop off and pickup was smooth. Thanks Nelia and I will definitely use your services again!”
“Mike is one of the most genuine dog sitters I’ve ever trusted my dog with. My dog enjoys the outdoors so I’m glad he took her to the park, on walks, and on an adventure hike. I would absolutely recommend him!”
“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”

“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”
“Adrienne is a loving, flexible dog sitter. Her apartment is perfect for dogs. She really puts you at ease with contact while you are on the road. A+”
“Maple loved her stay! She and Luna became best friends, and I know they tired each other out! Lucas did a great job sending pics every day and letting me know how things were going. Would definitely book again!”
“Great peace of mind leaving my two dogs with Samantha when a family emergency mandated I leave town suddenly. She was quick to respond and and very flexible with pick-up days/times, which I really appreciated. When I picked my pups up, they were happy and calm from all the playtime they got in Samantha's large, shady backyard. Will definitely book again with Samantha in the future!”
“Kassandra is the sweetest person we have ever left our dog with. She was very punctual and picked Leo up and dropped him off at the agreed upon time. Leo needed meds and extra care due to his multiple medical problems but Kassandra took care of him very well. Leo was very happy with Kassandra as I could see when she was leaving after dropping him off and Leo didn’t want her to leave. Kassandra gave us daily updates and additional updates as needed so the communication was excellent. I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of Leo!”
“Raeann is a compassionate and caring person who showed great affection towards our 12 y/o girl. Would recommend her services and would like to use her services in the future.”
“Justin was great! He took great care of my dog, giving her multiple walks and play sessions, providing updates throughout her stay. His dog Watson was a great companion for her. I appreciate that he only takes one dog at a time, providing dedicated care while dog sitting. I would have Justin watch my dog again.”
“Stella was well cared for and loved during her stay with Ellyn and her family. It was so fun to meet her girls and see how involved they were with our sweet pup. The fenced yard and proximity to the park were an added bonus!”
“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”
West Oakland dog parents share their Rover experiences
At pick up, Ralphie and Seymour were reluctant to leave Erica so it was obvious she took very good care of them. Throughout their stay, I received regular photos and updates and all communications were smooth. I’m sure Ralphie and Seymour would welcome the chance to stay with Erica again.
As always, Riley is so great to our Dexter. Dexter was excited to spend time with Snowy last week and I’m so glad that he gets to have friend time. Riley keeps Dexter active with many walks for which he enjoys. My time away from Dexter is stress free knowing that he is in good hands with Riley and Snowy.
Sam was the best with Kobe. We are from NC and we were in town for a family event and graduation. We couldn’t find anyone in NC to care for Kobe so we decided to look in Pittsburgh and came across and Sam and we are so glad we did. She cared for Kobe and sent us pictures. He even made a new friend, we would definitely book with Sam again.
Jesaun was so extremely friendly and flexible with us. We ended up needing extremely last minute care for our dog and he was able to help us out and even went out of his way to pick her up for us. He was great at taking care of our dog, sent pictures and updates, and made sure she got lots of exercise. I would definitely recommend him.
Audrey was the perfect caregiver for Rufus. I needed to find someone relatively quickly, and Audrey was available and made sure we could squeeze in a meet and greet so Rufus and I would feel comfortable. Rufus is almost 13 and has some health issues requiring meds. He is often reluctant to take the meds and sometimes to eat enough, but Audrey was successful in making sure he got what he needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Audrey any time!!!
Elizabeth was amazing!! We took our 12 year old small dog, who has alot of anxiety and issues with being left alone and I have never seen her so happy with a sitter!! Elizabeth gave our Mia so much attention and love that we were afraid that she wouldn't want to come home with us. I hope that she never stops dog sitting because I am sure we will never find someone as perfect for our Mia as Elizabeth.
