We were going on vacation and this was the first time that we needed a sitter. Our dog suffers from separation anxiety and Jennifer was a total pro at keeping him calm and making him feel safe. She sent updates and photos every day and was quick to respond!

Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!

Jenny was great with our dig, Riley. She asked lots of smart questions to be sure Riley was getting the best care and staying on his routine. She sent photos and was very accommodating when out flight delay resulted in a later than expected pick up. I highly recommend Jenny and will certainly call on her again.

Ninoska is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our dog, Snow. Since it was our first time using Rover, we were a little worried leaving him with someone we didn’t know. Right off the bat when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was fantastic with Snow. She sends us amazing pics and videos of him having a great time. When we came home after our vacay, our Snow was relaxed and happy. Will definitely return to her for future stays.

Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!

Veronica was fantastic! As an outdoor cat, finding someone who could care for Juno, with safety as the first priority, but also allow her to retain her sense of freedom and independence was always going to be a tough ask. We found that with Veronica - would highly recommend! Very kind, sent us lots of photos and even got Juno some special treats and toys.

He was also very flexible with our drop off and pick up times when we were running a bit behind. It was a great first experience with Rover.com. We'll definitely look to book with Enrique again for any future care needs.

Grace was excellent at providing updates via text and photo at the end and beginning of each day and even laid out plans for chopper for the day. Chopper loved his time there and we will absolutely be working with Grace in the future!

We are very happy with Yuberkis and the care she provided for Kiko. From the start, she was very professional, kind, and attentive to my dog’s needs. Kiko is usually a bit nervous around new people, but had such a calm and friendly demeanor that they warmed up right away. Throughout the stay, Yuberkis kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. She followed all my instructions perfectly, including specific instructions for feeding. Kiko was happy, well-exercised, and had been given lots of love and attention. I highly recommend Yuberkis to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!

This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!

Kris and Kylie were absolutely incredible with Rue! During her 9 days with them, they made sure she got plenty of exercise with long daily walks and playtime at the park, and even a fun adventure upstate. They treated her to a spa day at the end of her stay, which was such a thoughtful touch. It was obvious how much care, attention, and love they gave her. We can’t recommend them enough and would trust them with Rue again in a heartbeat!

We had a last-minute situation where we needed someone to take care of our dogs, Max and Ruby, and Amanda was a lifesaver! She was more than happy to jump in on short notice and did an amazing job. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with pictures, and it was clear that Max and Ruby were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, Amanda is fantastic!

Jestine was a life safer for accepting my last minute booking! She provided me with updates and pictures throughout the days my dog was there, which gave me a sense of relief since this was my first time leaving my dog with someone who is not family. She also gave me a coupon to try out The Farmers Dog, which I will be using. Jestine was super nice and easy to communicate with. I definitely will be using her services again for the future!

Koryn and her partner took good care of Daisy during our vacation. Daisy is not an easy dog, with decent bit of separation anxiety, and they helped us feel at ease with a meet and greet. Would recommend to anyone who needs to know their pet is well taken care of.

Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.

We left Coco with Sri for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Sri was incredibly communicative and responsive, sending daily photo and video updates that gave us so much peace of mind. They were very patient and understanding during Coco’s transition into a new home and handled all the adjustments with care. Coco was clearly very well taken care of—she absolutely loved them and even bonded with the cats! If we travel again, they will be our first choice for boarding. Highly recommend!
