1. Ashley M.
“Ashley was great! Super fast response to messages. She sent us updates and Waski pictures often. Waski had a great time playing at parks, walking, and lounging on the deck.”
2. Tania B.
“I LOVE my new dog sitter Tania! ? So, we did our meet and greet about a month before his actual stay. She was very nice and Cooper liked her too! I decided to book her that day! She kept Cooper the following month and she did everything right! There wasn’t an enormous amount of pictures and videos sent to me but just enough sent for me to know that he was doing good and was safe! That’s all I really needed to know! I would definitely book with her again! She has such a sweet, calming, aura!”
3. Ann-Marie H.
“Ann-Marie was great with our dog! He has warmed up to her so well and she is so caring with him. We appreciate the occasional update from Ann-Marie, and whenever we ask questions, she replies. She is so amenable to the pick-up and drop-off schedule, especially if our flights get delayed. She has been a great caretaker for him for both weekend getaways and week-long trips, highly recommend to other owners!”
4. Andrew T.
“Andrew and his wife took good care of my dog. They were great with sending updates and photos, and made communication very easy. Very friendly and reliable.”
5. Jason M.
“Jason is the best!!! He always responds right away and with short notice which is so helpful when emergencies pop up. There’s always plenty of dogs he’s watching so mine has friends to play with! He will also walk your dog when you’re at work if needed. He’s the only person I allow to watch my dog cause I know she’s in great hands.”
6. Gillian K.
“Our third time using Gillian’s pet sitting services and it was fantastic as usual! My dog is always so happy to come here, and Gillian does such a great job keeping us posted with silly photos. This time around my dog decided to hurt her paw days before my trip, but Gillian put my mind at ease with following her new medication routine and giving me updates on how her paw was doing.”
7. Briana V.
“Briana did a great job with my lil guy Maximum. She was attentive and patient with all his energy. This was my 2nd booking with Briana and I’m even more impressed than I was the 1st time. I’m so grateful for her.”
8. Regan D.
“Regan and Adam were so good with Gigi! Gigi is sometimes reactive towards other dogs and can’t be in close proximity when on leash. She takes a couple medications for anxiety to help with that reactivity. We have been lucky enough to have family close by to be able to watch her for the past 4 years when we go out of town, but this time none of our family was available so that’s when we found Regan! We did a quick meet and greet to go over Gigis anxiety and meds. They did such a good job at giving updates and sending lots of pictures for the week we were gone. We have never seen Gigi sad to leave family house when being dog sat, but she was so sad to leave Regan and Adam’s place! Will definitely be reusing them as sitters in the future! Can’t recommend them enough!!”
9. Fatimah A.
“Fatimah was great and sent many updates while my pug stayed with her. She also responded very quickly. Seamus looked like he had a lot of fun !”
10. Katie M.
“Katie and Java did a good job sending photos and updates. Katie is pleasant to work with and was flexible in allowing me to pick up my dog a day early. Thank you Katie !”
11. Joanna K.
“Joanna was very attentive and took great care of our boxer,Lola! She sent pics regularly of walks, activities, playtime at the park and snuggles. My Lola was happy and even has another dog that was boarding the same week to play with. I highly recommend Joanna and will definitely use her again.”
12. Daniel A.
“Daniel has been my favorite Rover experience to date! Extremely helpful, communicative and overall just a pleasure to have my little French bulldog (who can definitively be a diva!) stay with. Would highly recommend and will 100% book again. Thank you Daniel!”
13. Ruben M.
“Ruben is ACE APPROVED! My spotted friend can have accidents in new environments or nervous pee. Nope nothing - he had all the potty breaks he needed and clearly was well cared for. Ruben’s place is the equivalent of the coveted middle school overnight gym sleepover except all the kids have four legs. Every tail wagger wants to go! Ace even kept staring at the front door when we left. That’s how you know he had a good time and made awesome friends.”
14. Melanie S.
“Melanie was my first Rover and walked me through the entire process. She snugged my lap dog and took pictures over the weekend so I knew she was being taken care of. Would recommend and hire again! Thank you Melanie.”
15. Nate N.
“Nate was so amazing with my pup! He gave me daily updates and made sure my dog was right at home. When my dog unexpectedly got sick he notified me and knew how to handle it and gave him some rice. 10/10 recommend will definitely rebook with him!”
16. Dion F.
“It’s always a little nerve wracking when you’re away from your pup for an extended period, but Dion was great with Brix! He was patient, kind, communicative and gave him plenty of long walks which we appreciate. Will be utilizing Dion in the future when needed :)”
17. Georgia M.
“Georgia was great! She was flexible, able to accommodate a last minute request and was very communicative. She sent some cute pictures of my pup and I could tell she had a good time! Would definitely feel great having her watch my pup again. Thanks Georgia!”
18. Barbara M.
“A+++++!!!! Barbara and Chewy were absolutely incredible hosts!! We can't say enough about how thoughtful, generous, kind, and communicative that Barbara was during our trip. We were very anxious about leaving our dog (this was our first time using Rover), and she put us at ease, sent frequent updates (including pictures and videos), and was extremely thorough, dedicated, and friendly, and followed our care instructions extremely seriously. Her dog Chewy is a sweetheart who seems to be great as a co-host :) We absolutely recommend Barbara to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter, and we are so grateful to her for this experience!”
19. Cameron H.
“Cameron was amazing with Pixie! I could tell they were having fun, she took her to dog parks and on long walks. I appreciated all the updates and info. Cameron really cares about her pets, I look forward to booking her again bedside I know Pixie will be in great care!”
20. Lauren S.
“Lauren is so great! She took care of my sweet Penny while we were out of town for the weekend. She is quick with communication and treated Penny like her own. While we were gone she sent updates and a photo. Penny came home so happy from all of the attention she got in Lauren’s care. We are so pleased to have found Lauren and will be booking with her from now on. I know Penny is in good hands with her!”
