“Samantha is fantastic. She gave us plenty of updates and cute pictures, responded to our messages very quickly, and was super accommodating. Rooster is going to be a repeat guest. He was very well cared for and I would 100 percent recommend Samantha.”
“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”
“For us, Paul is the gold standard of dog sitters. He is attentive, communicative, and experienced, which lets us really be at ease when we’re away from our dog. Dougie bonded with him so quickly over his short weekend stay! You can tell Paul is a dog lover through and through and your dog will be so happy to get to spend time with him while you’re away. We’ve had Paul dog sit for us for years now and he will continue to be the first person we reach out to when we need a sitter.”
“Guillermo took care of our dog Amos for nine days. He was an exceptional care provider. He went above and beyond taking Amos to the vet, giving his prescribed medication and even returning to the vet for a refill. Amos had plenty of walks. We received many pictures of Amos which my family really enjoyed. I would definitely re-book with Guillermo.”
“Mia watched my two older cattle dogs while I was on a work trip for 5 days. I find Mia to be very smart and responsible and her love of dogs is obvious right from the start. She did a wonderful job taking care of them and I would confidently hire her again and recommend her to others!”
“So sweet and she was great with Lou and Teddy! Sent updates and pictures the whole weekend. Both my pups came home so happy and acting like they had the best time. Would definitely book again! :)”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
“I strongly recommend Michiko and Clifford. I truly appreciate how well they took care of Juju. She always looked so happy in the photos they sent me. Juju seemed comfortable, relaxed, and joyful the whole time. They took her on wonderful walks around the neighborhood, to the hills, parks and through nature. I feel so lucky to have found them. Thank you so much for everything”
“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.”
“Kimberly, Brian and their family (including Daisy!) continue to be very thoughtful, kind, and sweet with our dog, Bailey. They always communicate well and send regular updates, always making us feel at piece leaving Bailey with them. We are so grateful and appreciative of them.”
“Molly had an amazing time with Luci and her family! She was responsive, and provided multiple updates and photos during Molly's stay. Seeing Molly look so happy and playing in photos/videos was a testament to how comfortable and cared for she was in their home. We would gladly book again and feel so lucky to have had the help! Thank you!!!!!”
“Francois took care of our senior dog recently we would highly recommend him . He communicated with us every day with text & pictures. Our dog being on the elderly side is very set in his ways & Francois took all his special needs into account. We returned home to a happy and relaxed dog.”
“Yulia took great care of my Barron and always responded quickly to all messages. She was also so kind and flexible when my pickup time was delayed due to traffic! I would recommend Yulia to others. Thank you!”
“Surendra was super responsive, sent so many photos and videos, and overall ensured my puppy had the best time and was taken care of while I was away for a week! Highly recommend!!!”
“Peter and his family did a great job watching Murphy for us. Communication was great both before and during Murphy's stay. It was clear at pickup that Murphy was well loved and cared for while we were away.”
“Arnav is a very responsible and loving young man. He sent often photos of our puppy where we can tell that he was really taken care of and very loved. He and his family were always welcoming and stayed in communication with us. Our dog is part of our family and I would definitely rebook with Arnav, I highly recommend him. He will offer safety love and communication! Thanks Arnav ❤️”
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!
