“Achara took care of our special needs terrier with no problem. It was great that she could stay home with him to reduce his separation anxiety. She was also east to communicate with. We are very grateful for her help.”
“Roy was a lifesaver! I got sick and my high energy dog needed someone to care for her while I slept. Roy took Ali on short notice and gave her the care and attention needed until I was better! Have already rebooked! Highly recommend!”
“I needed a last minute sitter for my pup and luckily Martha accepted my request. She did a meet and greet the same day I submitted my request and asked a lot of questions about the care and schedule for my pup which made me feel reassured. During the stay Martha was very responsive and gave frequent updates with pictures and videos which I appreciated! When I picked up my pup she was very happy and healthy! I would definitely book again!”
“Michael was fantastic!!! Our dogs can be a little high maintenance and Michael handled them with ease and they immediately took to him. He was warm and sent pictures of them hanging out at his house and on lovely walks. We would highly recommend him!!! Thank you! Maraka”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Grisel was kind and listened to me as I shared Dori’s needs. Her home is set up well for taking care of pets. I received pics throughout Dori’s stay showing her doing some things I wasn’t sure she would do while in a strange place like eating. Grisel obviously has the “touch” to get her to feel comfortable. I will use Grisel again! Thank you Grisel.”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”
“Anna was completely accommodating to my doggo during her stay at Anna's clean house. Anna provided regular updates during the boarding process, and made sure my dog was healthy, happy, and surrounded by other friendly dogs. Thank you again!”
“Bari and her family were amazing! They came highly recommended and I can tell why. Herbie had the best time, got tons of walks and play time, plus lots of snuggles. Would definitely recommend Bari to anyone and will be booking again.”
“Regina’s did a great job taking care of Kobe. She sent me pictures and videos almost every day, and she even dropped him off at another dog sitter for me when I wasn't able to since I was out of town for two weeks.”
“Jennifer did an excellent job in taking care of my little girl! She provided me with updates and was accommodating of my schedule. I would definitely book with her again :)”
“Demetra was a lifesaver after a last-minute cancellation of another sitter. Demetra was prompt, thoughtful, and flexible, and even arranged a meet and greet on short notice, which gave us peace of mind. Most importantly, my pup seemed to have a great time playing with her dogs!”
“We love staying with Catherine and her fur babies. Everyone is so well taken care of and ends their stay happy and relaxed. Kevin and DiDi love Catherine!”
“Alexandra was an amazing sitter and pet boarder! She sent plenty of pictures of our dog and kept him entertained with play time in the backyard and visits with other dogs to the parks/her salon. We will definitely use her service again.”
“Matt was a pleasure working with. He’s a great guy, was very communicative with us, and enjoyed watching our sof Eddie (Doberman) who has a ton of energy and is quite needy. Eddie has a great time and was comfortable in Matt’s home. I recommend him to anyone who needs to have their furry friend watched for the day or boarded for an extended period of time!”
“I wanted to send a big thank you to you for watching Moose. I am often hesitant about leaving him with someone else, but I truly feel I left him with the right person. I really appreciate how responsive, sweet, and respectful you were throughout the stay. Your knowledge about dogs is clear, and it was wonderful that you could take him on walks and spend time with him while working from home and sending daily updates. I would definitely like to book with you again for my next trip. You are a 10/10 for me :) Thanks again!”
“This was my first time using Kazue and I couldn’t be happier .. she took such great care of my Mitzi! Kazue kept me updated with messages and pictures so I could see how my girl was doing. Will definitely use Kazue again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind and attentive pet sitter!”

We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!
Jordan was great with my dog, Nelli! She watched her overnight and took really good care of her. She kept us very updated and sent plenty of pictures. Nelli seemed happy and comfortable which is usually not like her. We have already booked Nelli’s next stay with Jordan!
Achara was such a blessing for us. We were literally leaving in 1 day, down to crunch time, and freaking out because our girls have never been away from home. She did a meet and greet that afternoon, and was so easy going, very friendly, and even suggested if we wanted to make the transition for our babies easier, that we could bring them that same evening, as an option too. She was friendly and welcoming, her down to earth demeanor spoke volumes. My son and I liked her right from the start. Once we received our first update text and picture, my husband felt reassured, more and at ease in our decision. She kept in communication with us, put us at ease with the whole process (clear communication, the payment process because it was our first time with Rover as well) and gave us both pictures and updates of how they were doing. She respected our dogs' boundaries, as well as gave them options with sleeping arrangements. We knew our dogs were in the perfect hands while we were gone. We definitely will be making plans in the near future, either for over night or even just for the day. While also having a family and pet herself, Achara did an amazing job balancing our family with hers, and we definitely with be using her services again. Thank you!
Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!
Mansi was absolutely amazing with my 8-year-old Rottweiler. From the start, her communication was quick and consistent, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly flexible when my flight was delayed an hour—something I really appreciated during a stressful travel day. Most importantly, she was so kind, attentive, and genuinely caring with my dog. She let my girl cuddle up with her and allowed her to sleep in her room with her! My dog is strong and large and this never seemed to intimidate Mansi one bit! You can tell she really takes the time to understand each pet’s needs and makes sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their human is away. I would trust her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate.
