Devin and Mai were absolutely amazing with Jax. This is the second time he was going to stay with them and as soon as we got to their door he got so excited. It is the best feeling dropping him off and not having him cry or get upset because he knows he is going to get to hangout with Devin and Mai. I highly highly recommend them and we will continue to use them in the future.

I highly recommend Ivan's services - while just a short 1 day stay, he took great care of our pup. He came back to us 24 hours later well-fed and having taken multiple long walks. Ivan kept us updated throughout the stay w/ quick snippets and several pictures. We will definitely request Ivan's help again!

Andy took excellent care of our 10 year old Weimaraner over a long holiday break. She had lots of exercise and healthy treats (he verified if it was okay to give them to her first). Andy sent photos and videos of her often. We were very happy with her stay with him and Milo!

Lelia was so accommodating and kind! Every day we got detailed updates and pictures of our dog. It was clear he was happy and being well taken care of! We are looking forward to using her again for overnight stays and for day care! Would 10/10 recommend to anyone who has a dog. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!

Diana was excellent with my senior dog Ellie. She took such good care of her. Diana gave her so much loving attention and kindness. I could see how quickly my dog adjusted to being with Diana and her family. This was my first time with diana as a pet sitter, it could not have gone any better. Thank you diana so much for your love for Ellie.

Kiara & her family took good care of my senior pup for the weekend. Her kids seemed to enjoy the four legged company! Kiara was good in responding/ messaging, sending photos, and keeping me apprised of how the stay was going.

Bandit's reaction to being dropped off at Karl's says it all... tail wagging, excited barking, ready to play. I can't say enough good things about Karl and his family ... they make my life easy and Bandit absolutely loves them.

William is a fantastic dog sitter! While I was traveling abroad, he took care of my Pomeranian and did an excellent job. I received multiple updates throughout the day. William followed all the instructions I provided to the letter, ensuring my dog’s routine stayed consistent. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for Pomeranian. Highly recommend William for anyone needing a reliable sitter!

Diana & Michael did a wonderful job watching our miniature dachshund. They were super sweet and welcoming, and kept us updated regularly on activities they were doing and even sent pictures! We always felt our dog was in good hands with this trustworthy couple. We would absolutely love for them to dog sit for us again!

Connie was absolutely amazing with my cat Sona. Sona's never boarded before, but Connie and her cat Juju made Sona feel so welcome! I was away overseas, and had to unexpectedly extend my booking - Connie was super understanding and flexible, and sent me the cutest daily pictures of Sona. We both had an amazing experience and would definitely rebook a stay with Connie!

Zicheng took great care of my dog while we were out of town. He sent lots of photos and video updates. My dog is normally very nervous around new people, but had a great time, especially playing with Kennedy!

I was out of the country for a week and Oreo had a great stay with Mario the entire time! He was great about communicating with me and sent me pictures of Oreo on a regular basis during their walks on the beach, naptime, playtime, etc. It looked like she had a great time and was definitely tired out, but smiling when I picked her up. I will definitely use Mario again in the future! Thanks again!

I definitely recommend Sara and would let her watch my dog again:). I was nervous at first and never used Rover before. But she gave me daily updates, walked him, and sent multiple cute pics of him. My pup Milo looked very happy to be there in all of them. We had a delay at the airport coming back home and ran late picking him up, but she was super nice and understanding about it. Thank you again Sara! I’m glad you were my first experience with Rover. ??

We loved meeting Kathleen and her family before our dog Penny actually stayed at their home. For us, their location was convenient and what was even better is the family had a kind and warm spirit. Penny came back well rested and in good spirits. Kathleen and her family made sure that Penny was well taken care of. Penny is an equal part of our family, so finding good care for her is very important to us. We’re very pleased with Kathleen and appreciated all the photo updates on Penny’s stay.
