“My dog Copper had such a good time during his week of boarding with Sijie and Cameron! He took to them immediately during the meet and greet, and I could tell right away I would be leaving him in the most loving, capable hands (and laps!). While I was away, I received lots and lots of pictures of their daily adventures, playtime, and cuddles on the couch. It was obvious that Copper wasn’t just being taken care of, he was having a blast and loving every minute! I came back to a happy, relaxed dog who had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking Sijie again!”


“Eve gave me a lot of confidence at our meet and greet that she is a responsible long-time dog parent. As a boarder, Eve was communicative and caring, sent lots of photos and updates, and was very attentive and available. Eve was around most days to spend with my dog, this was the situation my dog really needs. Eve was sitting for my dog during a snowstorm and the bad ice storm and sent me updates about this, as well. She even gave my dog an oatmeal bath, which was above and beyond. When I came to pick up Sweetheart, it was clear they had really bonded. She didn't want to get in the car! Will book again.”


“Mossy was very cared for during her stay with Christine and Steven. She got frequent walks and even a bath! We would definitely have Mossy stay with Christine and Steven again.”


“Ian is a great sitter - he’s calm and very knowledgeable about dogs and how they interact with each other. he kept us up to date on Rooney over her stay and gave us a helpful recap at the end.”



“I highly recommend a doggie vacay with Holly. Rikki came home seeming just like she would any day we came home. Just happy to see us. Holly was quick to respond every time we contacted her, sent plenty of photos, and accommodated Rikki's complicated meal routine. She also got to ride in the car and go to the park! Yay! Thanks, Holly! Rikki says send Avery licks! ”


“Beverly is an outstanding sitter! Her communication was top notch, she has a warm and welcoming energy, and our dog came home tired and happy. I hope she’ll be available the next time we leave town! 🤞🏼”


“Debbie is truly a gem! She took incredible care of our dog Koda while we were away. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Debbie sent tons of adorable photo updates that showed Koda going on long walks, getting plenty of playtime, and soaking up so much love. It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Koda also made a new best friend—her sweet black lab, Sammy—which made his stay even more special. When I picked him up, he was so happy and relaxed, and I could tell he had the absolute best time. I will definitely be booking with Debbie again. Can’t recommend her enough!”


“Erin was wonderful with our dog! We’ve used Rover several times and she was by far our best experience. Thanks again for taking such good care of George. We will certainly try to work with Erin again in the future.”

“Our dog Dobby loved his stay with Sydney! It was a perfect doggie vacation for him to play with her dog Penny and he was obviously very happy when we picked him up. Dobby is a tripod and Sydney did a great job troubleshooting to make sure he could get around their house as easily as possible. We definitely recommend Sydney to other dog owners and will be reaching out again when we need a sitter:)”


“Katherine took excellent care of my Parker! She responds very quickly, is flexible, and sent photos/updates during my time away. Will definitely use Katherine for future petsitting needs!”


“Paul and Arnel are the best! They took excellent care of Lola and treated her like family, great communication with numerous updates throughout her stay. She definitely seemed to enjoy herself and looked super relaxed despite being somewhat anxious and slow to warm up. It's such a relief to know she's in good hands. She is already looking forward to her next stay.”


“Barry and his dog Shakka are just who we were hoping for. Our active dog seems to have had a really good stay. We got updates with pictures from Barry, that showed us a happy dog. We will be using him again when we can’t take our pup with us. Thanks Barry”


“Peter was so great with my dog Frank! Peter was the first Dog Sitter I found when moving to a new city and he made my Frank feel so comfortable. He took him on walks and played games with him. He made him feel at home in a new city. Thank you Peter!”


“Haleigh was such an accommodating host to my sweet girl roonie! She was so thoughtful and communicative and sent me so many cute photos of my girl while she was watching her! I would recommend Haleigh to anyone!!”


“Maddie took great care of Hazel, sending pics and an update to make sure we could see and hear how he was doing. We could tell Hazel was in great hands and have already booked again with Maddie!!!”


“Whitney took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for the week. She provided consistent pictures and updates throughout the week and really did put our minds at ease. We will book her again!”


“Evita is a great pet sitter! She is very responsive, flexible, and proactive in letting you know your pet is being well taken care of. I couldn’t recommend her more, and hope she is available the next time I need to go out of town!”

“My dog has stayed with Lindsay before, who reported that Gwen ate and slept right on schedule so I think she feels comfortable and secure there. So comfortable, in fact, that when we go for walks Gwen will try to pull me up Lindsay's driveway (we live in the same neighborhood.)”

Woodlawn dog parents share their Rover experiences
My dog Emmy doesn't have much practice sleeping away from home, so this was a bit of a stressful experiment for her. Sijie handled the situation with such grace and compassion, and Emmy was settled in and happy by day 2. The picture updates were amazing: Emmy helping herself to snacks, snuggling on the couch, practicing her tricks everywhere on walks. Emmy had a great time and I'm looking forward to more opportunities for her to spend time with Sijie and Maomao 🥰

Our 7 year old very active Corgi was clearly quite happy in Peter’s care. Prior to booking, Peter asked good questions and made sure he had all the info he needed to take good care of her. He was communicative, professional and cheerful, and sent us updates and photos every day. I would book him again and highly recommend.

This was my first time leaving my dogs with Trent and he was fantastic with my senior pit mix and my somewhat anxious younger pit mix. At drop off (which was the first meeting) Trent had a calm and confident vibe with them which is what my younger dog needs to feel comfortable, and what I needed to feel comfortable leaving them! Trent was responsive and communicative, too. I would highly recommend!

Grace and Eliab were excellent with our elderly dog. They gave him a lot of attention and administered his daily medication correctly. He was really at home. Both Grace and Eliab kept us updated and were quickly responsive to messages. This is our second time boarding Tolly with these lovely people and we’d definitely use them again.

Brittany is an empathetic and attentive dog sitter, and she was amazing with my anxious pup. She asked lots of questions before his stay to make sure she had all his routines and quirks, and provided updates on how his stay was going along the way. She was flexible with a schedule change and a pleasure to work with. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Brielle was incredible!! This was our first time using Rover and we needed a dog sitter for a long 3 week trip. Brielle was the perfect fit. She made sure to give us updates the whole time, was incredibly responsive and flexible, problem solved when our dog was being picky with food/needed meds, and most importantly gave our dog a wonderful safe home to stay in. We 100% recommend her and would love to rebook her services in the future. So grateful!!!

Emiline was so great with our dogs. We travel fulltime around the country so we’ve used Rover sitters all over the USA and she sent us more photos than any other sitter. It was clear that our dogs were very happy and well taken care of. Mango Salsa was splayed out on the bed with his legs behind him like he owned the place in one of the photos. Haha. Loved seeing that! Banana Pig is our anxious pup and we really appreciated the way she made him feel safe. In one of the photos she sent we noticed he could see where our truck had been parked during drop off and taking a walk shortly after we left to show him we have left always helps him to settle in and relax. We will absolutely book again while we’re in the area.

I traveled from out of town for a concert and Alissa was kind enough to watch my dog for the night. I could tell my dog had a wonderful time, and her dog was so sweet and kind to my Mabel. It was great to know my dog was safe while I was away from her. I would definitely use Alissa’s services again!

I needed a dogsitter on short notice and am so thankful to have found Eve. She was incredibly responsive, trustworthy, and professional, and from the moment we met at the meet-and-greet, I knew it was a great match. My whippet can be "cat-like" and aloof, but she responded to Eve like a lifelong friend. We also got a bunch of photos and updates all weekend, which were so appreciated. Your dog is in loving and capable hands with Eve!
