“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“Sam watched Wendy while we were out of town for a long trip and was so wonderful! She sent daily updates and photos of their walks and on how Wendy was doing - it was clear that Wendy was comfortable and in great hands. We would love to have Sam take care of her again!”
“Another great stay with Mary! Ellie was so happy being looked after by Mary and she came home super relaxed. Mary sent several pictures throughout our pup's stay. All we could ask for! Thank you Mary!”
“Meena was an excellent sitter! She is very communicative, always sent pictures, and messaged me each day my little lion was with her. My dog is 12 now so she gets nervous being away from home, but she loved her stay with Meena! I will definitely use her again the next time I’m out of town!”
“This hasn’t been the first time Paul has watched our pup. Every time, we know our dog is in good hands - Paul goes above and beyond and is a great communicator. This time around we got stuck and delayed coming back from our trip because of the blizzard, and Paul was incredibly kind, understanding, and flexible in working with us to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away.”
“Betsy and her family were wonderful hosts for our pup. Betsy sent pics and videos, and Ronja seemed to have a fantastic time. Great communication, we felt safe leaving our dog in Betsy's care.”
“Great sitter and couldn't have asked for more with our first Rover experience! Bonnie was super friendly and took care of both our girl's needs including one that needed extra attention with her regular meds. Would recommend her without any hesitation!”
“Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.”
“Our pup was so happy staying with Deepika. He usually doesn’t eat when he’s away from us but he did with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos. We will definitely have him stay with her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Liz went above and beyond as Simon’s dog sitter. I received many pictures and updates every single day and there was no time lapse in her responses if I ever messaged her first. I’m not even sure Simon even missed me because of how well he was taken care of and loved on. Will most definitely be booking with Liz again and have raved about her to my friends with pets. Thank you again!!”
“Kimberly and her lovely family have been so welcoming to our dog Bailey. We know she is in good hands and getting lots of attention. We are so thankful to know our dog is in good hands while we are gone.”
“Thank you so much, Michiko and Cliff, for taking such incredible care of our Suki while we were away. Your love, patience, understanding, and daily updates made all the difference and gave us complete peace of mind. We are truly grateful for everything you did, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏🐾”
“Ann took wonderful care of Daisy for over a week. From the start, she was warm, kind, and very easy to communicate with. Ann and Jim created a great environment for Daisy, and we always felt she was in good hands. Ann made sure Daisy got plenty of time outside, including long walks and lots of opportunities to explore. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure Daisy was happy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Ann to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter.”
“Carol is fantastic! Our pup stayed with her for February vacation week and had a blast. She was very quick and kind with her communications — and sent pictures and videos throughout our vacation. Our flight was delayed, and she was very accommodating about adding an extra night for us. Will definitely book again if she’ll have us!”
“François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!”
“Arnav did a great job. Buck had a hot spot arise right before my travel. He came home after my trip with significant healing accomplished. He went to his stay a bit anxious, not quite himself, and when I picked him up from Arnav, he was at ease. Arnav communicated regularly and well. He sent pictures. He asked questions. We discussed how to treat Bucks hot spot, and made some decisions together from a distance that worked well. Highly recommend Arnav for your dog.”
“Jane was an incredible sitter! She kept our 3 year old poodle happy and entertained the entire visit. We received regular photo updates and she was flexible/communicative throughout the whole process. We would absolutely have her watch Maggie again!”
“Gienna is amazing!! She was very flexible with leaving my dog over for the weekend. She made sure to send updates throughout the stay. My dog was very happy and exhausted when I picked her up. Definitely recommend!”
“I am very happy for the service provided by Yulia. My malti-poo dog has been given very good care by Yulia and her very nice/friendly family. I will request Julia for dog care service in next time again. Thanks Yulia!”
Wilmington pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was Bella's first time with Deborah and Ralph and she had an enjoyable time. They made her feel right at home. Every day they sent a message on how she was doing. When I picked her up she was so happy and relaxed. I will definitely have them watch Bella again for me.
Great communication and a gentle sitter with the right energy and attitude for my pup! She was super accommodating for all my dog’s quirks and habits and truly welcomed her into her home. The frequent updates were such an amazing touch - like we left our dog with a family member. Thanks Deepika!
Gregg did one overnight stay with Sage for us as a trial run for a longer stay later this summer. We were pretty nervous as we’ve never traveled without Sage before and he can be very anxious, but Gregg was incredibly communicative during the stay, asked lots of questions before the dropoff to make sure Sage’s needs were met, and he and his family took great care of him!
Jessica was great with Teddy, my golden retriever, when he boarded with her. She sent updates and photos daily and seemed to treat him just like her own dogs. I trust her completely and won't hesitate to have Teddy stay with her in the future. I highly recommend this wonderful sitter.
Yiru is an incredibly responsible and thoughtful sitter! She took wonderful care of Rosie and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. She was also very flexible and accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up times. Yiru is extremely polite and easy to communicate with—I felt completely comfortable leaving Rosie in her hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!
Veena was wonderful! She made sure we had a meet and greet prior to Chickoos stay and was communicative throughout his time there. It made us feel better seeing pictures/videos and she always kept us informed. We will absolutely work with Veena again and highly recommend her for your pups!
I had Ariel watch my senior pug for several days while I was on vacation, and he did an outstanding job! My pup requires daily medication, and Ariel made sure it was given on time while keeping me updated with clear and consistent communication. He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable being away, which is so important when leaving an older dog in someone else’s care. It was such a relief to know my pug was in good hands! Would absolutely recommend Ariel to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. :)
Ashley was so kind and really enjoyed watching Tella for us. She stayed in contact while we were away letting us know how Tella was doing and sent pictures. Tella seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked her up; she didn't even want to get in our car to come home! Haha thank you Ashley! Would definitely use her again!
