“Rita went above and beyond to take care of our pups over our wedding weekend - she even kindly transported them to the venue for us for a quick round of photos. They had a great time!! She sent regular updates and was overall a real pleasure to work with. We knew our pups were in great hands with Rita! Thank you so much!!!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Nala! She took such great care of her, and Nala had the best time playing and getting lots of love. You can tell Amber really knows how to make dogs feel at home. We would definitely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Olivia is great! This was the first time she watched our over energetic dog and she did a great job. She kept us updated and our dog had lots of fun. Highly recommend her services and hope to use her again.”
“This was our first time boarding our dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Chyann was incredibly sweet, attentive, and caring, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was well cared for, comfortable, and happy throughout the stay. She has a natural way with animals and made the entire experience stress-free for both us and our pup. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, trustworthy, and loving environment for their dog.”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”
“Joesph was a great host for Chico. He kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos. Chico came back relaxed and clam especially since he was able to play with other dogs. Would recommend Joseph for anyone looking for dog sitting.”
“Pooja was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough she was during our meet and greet. She asked all the right questions about Bentley's routine, personality, feeding schedule, preferences, and any special needs, which immediately gave me confidence that she truly cares about the dogs she watches. Throughout his stay, she kept me updated, communicated well, and sent photos that helped me feel completely at ease while I was away. Bentley can be energetic and very attached to his people, but Pooja was patient, attentive, and loving with him. It was clear that she took the time to make him feel comfortable and treated him like one of her own. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup is the best feeling, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Pooja to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with dogs!”
“Ralphie had a great time and I can tell he was well taken care of. Nick and Katie sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout Ralphie's stay, which kept our minds at ease. I highly recommend booking with Nick and hope to book again on our next vacation.”
“Alberta took great care of our dog, Mimi! She was responsive, friendly, and made sure Mimi was comfortable and happy while we were away. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica took great care of my girl Cora. She is super sweet and I could tell Cora made herself right at home. Her kitty was also part of the welcoming committee 😂. She was flexible on drop off/pick up times. I would definitely use Jessica’s services again!”
“Carrie and Jon were so caring and responsive! They replied quickly and sent daily updates with photos. They were extra accommodating when our flights got cancelled and we had to extend the booking as well as pick him up late due to travel delays. Would definitely book them again and recommend to anyone!!”
“Nicole was amazing! She took our little olaf last minute, was sweet with him getting comfortable, & sent tons of photos/videos keeping me updated on how he was doing! Will definitely book with Nicole again”
“Wesley loves staying with Riley! He was so excited to be there when we pulled up for Wesley's most recent stay with Riley, which tells me how well taken care of he is with Riley.”
“Marissa was so wonderful, accommodating and understanding. My plans changed a few times and she was incredibly understanding. She took wonderful care of Basil. It seems like he felt right at home with her. I appreciated the updates and the pictures. Thank you so much Marissa!”
“I love how Cecilia did an initial meet and greet. This was our first time using the Rover app and I’m glad I’m came across her profile.That made me so comfortable to leaving him with her. Astro struggles with separation anxiety and she made sure she suggested many things to make him comfortable.She even hand fed him .Thank you so much for taking care of our fur baby.”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Samantha was great with my Finley. She sent pictures throughout the day and took her on a walk. Finley was her normal happy self when I picked her up and I can tell she enjoyed her time at Samanthas.”

My furbaby loves going to Jade’s. Jade keeps me updated throughout the stay and returns Keisha to me happy, healthy and relaxed. Jade always accepts my last minute requests with a willingness to accommodate my unpredictable schedule. Jade is my go-to sitter every time.
Amy and Cathy took our two dogs in for two weeks while we were in Japan. It's clear that they're both avid dog lovers, so I had no worries while away because I knew the pups were in great hands! They texted a few updates and pictures as well. We could tell our dogs were having a good time with good people. I would absolutely recommend Amy and Cathy!
Angie was fantastic! We have never left our dog with anyone other than family so were a bit nervous but Angie provided daily updates and pictures to put our mind at ease. Ripley seemed to have had the best time with Angie! We will 100% book Angie again. We feel so lucky to have found such a great dog sitter on Rover- Thank you Angie!
Monique was available when I needed someone immediately. My regular sitter was away and I had a family emergency. Monique was wonderful. As Mina became acclimated to her, Skye, and their dog, she had a really good time over the Halloween holiday. Monique sent me pics of Mina in her Halloween costume that were really cute! Mina was well taken care of and I am hoping that Monique will be available again in the future. Thanks, Monique and Skye!
