Maria is absolutely fantastic with dogs (who all seem to immediately fall in love with her!). Full of empathy, she gets the biggest tail wags and cuddles, and treats every dog like her own. I have seen Maria look after, play with and make all shapes and sizes of dogs super comfortable, from labradaors, pitbulls and beagles to schnauzers , australian shepherds and chihuahuas - they love her, she loves them, and I couldn't think of a better temporary dog mom!

Paul has been super professional every step of the way. He was prompt in setting up a meet and greet, on time, and communicated well. He also caught my mistake when I initially booked for the wrong days. We received some updates while we were gone, which was appreciated, but most importantly, our girl was clearly well taken care of. She's old and thrives on routine, and she looked like she barely noticed we were gone when we returned. It's really nice to know that she was in great hands. Bonus: I think our apartment was actually cleaner when we returned. 5+ stars.

Gail was incredibly sweet with my 4-year old yellow lab! He has extreme separation anxiety from the family, but he did not want Gail to leave! She sent wonderful photos and updates frequently to make sure we knew our Milo was doing well. He’s a 90lb dog, so definitely not easy to handle but Gail did a great job. If you’re looking for someone to take great care of your pup and help out an aspiring med student, definitely reach out to Gail!

Kyra was incredible! She was reliable and provided consistent updates/pictures throughout the night. This was our first time using Rover, and Kyra provided a seamless experience. We are looking forward to booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter that will care and even brush your fur baby!!

We have never used rover before so we were initially a little nervous about leaving our babies and going out of town. But Danielle was FANTASTIC. We felt really comfortable during our meet and greet so we booked her to watch Elsa and Frank. She was great with them both. Always made sure we were updated with their daily routine, sent us so many pictures and took such great care of our babies. She even helped train Frank who is still a puppy. Thank you Danielle!

Matt is my go-to sitter for anytime I go out of town. I have two dogs that are both high energy and slightly quirky so I know they aren’t the easiest to care for. Matt does a great job of understanding their individual personalities and tending to all of their needs while I am away. He is very communicative and sends updates. Matt is also extremely tidy and always leaves the house better than he found it. I highly recommend him for any pet care needs!

I cannot express how thankful we are for Allison!!!! She is the best!! We had a unique situation where she had to watch our dog at our hotel room during our wedding weekend. She also brought him to take photos with us. As a person she is kind, personable, and patient. All of these qualities come through as a dog sitter as well. All of my friends and family who were also in the room getting ready with me, could not stop raving about how great Allison was. They thought we knew her for years! I highly recommend Allison to care for your dog!

Arik responded quickly to the booking request. We were able to chat on the phone prior to him taking care of my cat Smokey. Arik did a good job sharing daily updates with me, sharing any concerns/habits, and asked questions when needed. I am grateful Smokey was in good hands while I was away. Thank you!

Dominique and Antonio are hands down the best dog sitters I have had the pleasure of working with! They were so attentive to my babies and kept me updated the whole time. I would trust them with any and all of my pet needs and I look forward to working with them again and I know my fur babies do too!

Kathryn was great! She was reliable and provided consistent updates and pictures of Dexter throughout her stay. She even changed and washed my sheets which was extremely sweet and above and beyond. This was my first time using Rover and my experience with Kathryn was overall very seamless and made me happy I took the leap. I look forward to booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
