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!

Our dogs enjoyed their stay and we greatly appreciated the updates given throughout! Our dog Oscar can be a little fear aggressive with strangers and he was at ease right away.

I was happy to find someone who would only take one dog at a time and also works remotely! That is his norm and he can get stressed when he's with too many new dogs and not enough time to chill. I felt like he got great care with Julia and I'm grateful to have found her through Rover! She sent us updates which my whole family loved to hear and see. We will definitely book with her again.

Jordan was amazing with my dog! She sent frequent picture updates, which I really appreciated, and my dog looked so happy the entire time. She honestly didn’t even want to leave her place. I’d absolutely book with her again.

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.

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!

Reba was awesome. Our first meet up with her and Lyle went great, she made our dog instantly feel like he was at home. She sent many photo update while dog sitting for me. She had a huge backyard for my puppy to run around in and get some play time. He came home very tired. This will be his home away from home. She will be my number goto sitter for my pet.

Jennifer really helped us out when my daughter brought her baby to town and was worried about Dougie’s loud barking when the baby was trying to sleep. She kept him a few nights and he seems happy and well-cared for. She kept in good touch and made me feel assured that everything was fine…thanks again, Jennifer!

Jenny and co were all so great to my cat Qaswa 😁 She would provide daily updates with photos and videos of how things were going all day. They're very knowledgeable and understanding on cat's tendencies and did a great job accommodating her along with some other cats who were also staying over the long weekend. I definitely recommend housing your cats with them and I plan to do it again for my next vacation

I'm very grateful Lucy was available this weekend. Maggie seemed to have had a great time and was very happy when she got home. Lucy's pick-up and drop-off was very punctual and she was available for an early drop-off when I returned home early in the day. Layla, Lucy's dog, seems to be a great playmate for Maggie. Got pictures of them playing and resting together every day. Will book again!

Jordan took fantastic care of my dog Bently! He was very clearly cared for and felt comfortable in her home. The photos of him having fun or having a nap were so great to see and it was very clear that he was happy and safe. I would absolutely trust Jordan with him again!

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.

I always have peace of mind leaving my pup with Olivia. As someone who has a pup that is a picky/selective eater, I appreciate her concern and attentiveness to her meals. She is very timely with her responses!

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!

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!
