“Mary was so accommodating with our nervous pup. We were traveling from out of town - she was very flexible and sent us updates and photos. I wish we lived nearby so our dog could stay with her again!”

“Oliver has been there twice. He was very excited when he saw the house the second time and knew he was going back there. Jordan has always communicated with me very well and been very flexible with arrangements”


“10/10. Communication was great, my dog seems to have had a great time. Plus NaNa was very accommodating considering I booked last minute. Thanks again!”


“Tre’Ana was a wonderful sitter for my puppy. It was extremely last minute and she was so patient and caring for my last minute trip and did an amazing job of taking care of my pup. The pictures she sent of my pup and giving me updates you can see how happy he was in her home. I highly recommend her services. With the global computer outage I was running late to pick up my puppy and she stayed up late and was incredibly patient with me. She went above and beyond for a stranger like me and for my dog which is incredibly important so I thank you Tre’Ana for being such a great care taker. I plan on using her again for my trip this week. I recommend you do the same if you want excellent professional care.”

“She was amazing, sweet, & great with Marley! She made sure to walk Marley everyday which is his favorite thing to do & she also made sure she walked him before it got too hot which I really appreciate! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Sarah. We added a 5 month old puppy to our pack two weeks before leaving town, and she took our older dog and this new addition without missing a beat. I was a nervous wreck before leaving, but Sarah calmed all my nerves and was so calm about the whole process that we were able to leave town with a sense of peace. Photos and updates daily really helped put our minds at ease while traveling, also! Sarah has an intuitiveness with dogs that not everyone has, and she was the perfect match for us. We're so grateful for the excellent care she took of our girls!”

“Lucy was fantastic with Koda! He's a high-energy adolescent shepherd mix, so I'm always grateful when I find someone who really understands dogs and is thoughtful about introductions, play, and group dynamics. She sent updates and videos throughout the weekend, which I appreciated so much, and it was clear that Koda was having an absolute blast. He came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. As a dog sitter myself, I can be a little picky about who I leave my dog with, and I would not hesitate to book with Lucy again. Highly recommend!”

“Reba provided an outstanding experience for us and our fur baby! We had to make a last minute booking, but she was incredibly accommodating, and so kind. She shared regular updates w us while we were away, and took such good care. She provides a very warm and caring space for all the pups. We will most definitely be booking w her again!”

“Sarah opened her home to my girls and made them comfortable. They usually go to their granny's but all were going on this trip, so it was a very big deal for them to stay elsewhere. They played, walked, rested, and probably were questioning coming home, they were given so much attention. Sarah shared photos and even with a snowstorm ensured they were safe and had fun. I was very pleased. We will call upon sarah again!”


“Francie is an AMAZING pet caregiver/sitter. She shared numerous updates with videos and pictures. Not only was my dog "Granny" well cared for, she had a blast. This was the first time that a family member did not keep Granny for me and I was concerned at first, but all of my concerns were gone with updates. I think my dog misses her buddies that she got to play with.”

“Jackie and Enoch were great with Mia! Mia had a blast with their pup, with plenty of space to run around and a cozy home to rest after all the fun. They provided plenty of pictures/updates and we're always quick to respond. We would happily have them watch Mia again!!”

“Nicole and Tim were great sitters! They were flexible, very quick to respond, and their home was very clean. They took great care of Quinn and I know she had a great time with them.”


“Karen was absolutely great! She was well prepared to handle my dogs' special needs and she was so caring and loving towards them. My pups will definitely be back the next time I need a sitter.”


“Jennifer was a fabulous host for our cat Ferguson. We got lots of photos and he clearly got lots of playtime. He didn't even want to leave when we came to get him and she only had him for 3 nights! Will definitely use again. Thank you!!”

“Katie was great! She kept us updated during our pet's stay with her and sent plenty of photos. We will definitely be contacting Katie again for future pet sitting needs!”

“Jacob is a wonderful pet sitter. He took care of my two cats and kept me updated with pics and notes about how they were doing. One of my cats’ had trouble adjusting but he encouraged her everyday to come out of her safe place. She finally came out on the last day. So I will definitely use him again. By the way he took my cats in an emergency situation and contacted me right away. Thank you to Rover, but mostly a huge shout out and thank you to Jacob.”

“I am so grateful for this family taking care of my pup!! He was so happy in every picture they sent and they sent me updates on him everyday! We will definitely be coming back!”

“Axel came back happy and healthy at the end of his stay. Ben was quick and easy to communicate with. I would definitely use Ben again for future boardings.”

Our cat and anxious dog had the best stay with Kathryn. My pets loved her immediately and she was extremely kind, professional, and warm. She was detailed oriented and give me great updates throughout the stay. 10000% recommend her!!! One of the best experiences I’ve had with a pet sitter in the past few years!

Marissa was great! My Sunshine loved having another pup to play with during her long stay, and I always got updates on how she was doing (especially with things like eating, since she sometimes doesn't eat well in new environments). She got long walks, car rides, pup-cups, the total royal treatment! I would highly recommend Marissa, and I will definitely be rebooking with her again.

We boarded our dog with Sarah during our wedding weekend, and we got so many photos the entire weekend. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up, they clearly had a blast! Forever grateful that we could get through the craziness of wedding weekend with the peace of mind that our goofy pup was in such good hands!

Alex is a fantastic sitter and our girl always loves staying with her. She sends us updates and pictures 2-3 times daily. Our dog had a minor medical emergency once while staying with her (through no fault of Alex’s) and she reacted quickly and exactly as we would have which was not just a relief to us but indicative of how much she cares for the pets she’s watching. We would highly recommend Alex!

First time ever using Rover & GLAD I happened to find Charles “Chaz”. He’s conveniently located, great with communication, easy to work with & my furbaby had a BLAST with him & Stellla!!!! I’ll mos definitely be in touch again! If you’re looking for someone to watch your fur bay, Chaz IS the guy!

Chelsey watched our Lab puppy over the holidays and did a great job taking care of her and making sure she got her daily medications. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos! She went above and beyond to help us navigate the pickup situation on the back end, we are truly very appreciative. Would definitely use again!

Kayla recently kept my pup over the Thanksgiving holiday. This was my pups second stay with Kayla and as with the first stay, care was excellent! I can't recommend Kayla enough. Kayla clearly loves animals and treats your pup as you would like him/her treated. Text & photo updates come in frequently and pups come home tired from play & walks. Thanks Kayla.
