Halley was great! We could tell our pup had a great time. She kept us updated with pix and vids of him enjoying play time with the other dogs. She even sent him home with a new harness! We will definitely be booking again.

Eileen is the greatest. Of course I mean all the usual stuff like great communication and great space/yard for my dog. But when I say she is the greatest, I am referring to her absolute love of dogs….. and that includes my dog. She sent me pictures and videos that warmed my heart each day I was away from him. He was so content, playful, and happy that I was almost jealous. It’s not just dogs she lives…..she loved my dog and it showed. I highly recommend Eilleen because you will be grateful and happy. Fergus and I are going back.

Kelly is a marvelous dog sitter! He is very kind, pleasant, and his love of dogs is obvious from the way Koko was loved and cared for. My vacation was much more enjoyable because I knew my Koko was having a wonderful vacation, too.

Nothing but great things to share about Ms. Veronica’s care. Our dogs can be sensitive and have some separation anxiety, but she soothes them well and they are always happy to see her. I feel relaxed leaving them in her care. They

Andrea was the perfect sitter for Totem (and me). She was responsive and paid close attention to what Totem needed to feel safe in a new space, since she was not used to being away from me. She also took great care to make me feel comfortable by sending regular updates and pics. When I picked Totem up she looked happy and confident. I would absolutely recommend Andrea!

Jessica was just amazing! My dog loved her and her fur babies!! She was exactly the perfect fit for my older sometimes grumpy girl. Jessica was easy to communicate with in the app. and very responsive. Overall, the best experience and I felt she far exceeded my expectations as this was my first Rover pet experience. Highly recommend her!!

Texana is absolutely WONDERFUL! I had to find a sitter for my bf’s dog, Nova on short notice while traveling for an event and she was so great! I appreciate her taking a last minute booking! It was great that she kept me updated the whole time with texts and pictures. She’s very sweet, helpful, and communicates well! My bf and I are in agreement that there’s no doubt she’d our first choice to let her watch Nova again! We highly recommend her!

Erika was great with handling and interacting with our dog even when she was skittish. She was kind but stern when doing so. Her dog Brandy also gave my dog Max a companion while we were away, and Erika treated Max as one of her own. She was loved on and treated with great care. We got daily updates on our dog and pictures along the way for when we missing her. Definitely would recommend her for someone to board your dog with.

Ally is the most responsible pet sitter I have ever known. She has been caring and keeping animals for people since she was 8. She will follow the instructions left for your pet exactly as prescribed. She is wonderful with animals and seems to have a way with them. I highly recommend her as your pet sitter.
