1. Ashley R.
“Ashley did a fantastic job! We only left our dog with her for a weekend but he seemed like he didn’t want to leave when we went to pick him up! Ashley’s dog Ruby was so sweet and friendly, they got along great. We got lots of updates and pictures and I would certainly recommend her to others :) thanks Ashley!”
2. Ekaterina & Margarita A.
“Kate and her family took great care of Leo. This was our first time using Rover and it was a success. He came home happy and tired. She was very easy to communicate with and made us feel that he was in good hands. Thank you for a great stay!”
3. Yvonne M.
“Yvonne and her family took amazing care of our 3-year-old golden retriever! She was very communicative throughout his stay, and sent lots of adorable pictures and videos. She took him outside for lots of play time and nice walks, which he loved. It was truly like he was part of their family for the weekend. We knew our dog was safe, happy, and loved during his time there! We had such peace of mind on our trip knowing he was in great hands. Thank you again!”

6. Vikki S.
About: I'm a mature professionaI in biotech. I have had dogs my whole life and recently took a refresher puppy training 6 week course with my puppy. I take excellent care of my own dogs. I'm available weekends for walks during daylight hours. I also have some weekday evening availability. I'm not available every weekend. If your dog gets along well with mine, I'm open to a weekend day care or overnight boarding. I live near wooded areas for leash walking. At your home, I'm available to play with your dog indoors or walk outside near your house.
7. Sawyer J.
“Sawyer took amazing care of my high-energy Australian Shepherd, who also has separation anxiety and specific needs. From the start, Sawyer was thoughtful, offering a one-night trial to make sure both my dog and Sawyer were comfortable. Sawyer asked all the right questions—like feeding times and routines—and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. I also loved the setting: Sawyer’s home backs up to conservation land, with great space for dogs to play in the front and back yards, and it’s safely away from main roads. I’ve already booked Sawyer for an eight-night stay because I trust Sawyer completely. I highly recommend Sawyer to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter!”
8. David R.
“Finn had a good weekend.”
9. Jane G.
“Jane took excellent care of Bailey!! She brought him on lovely long walks and send photos of his adventures! Jane was great with communication. She always responded quickly and she was proactive about getting in touch with questions about his medication to ensure she gave him the very best care. I would highly recommend Jane to care for your pet!”
10. Barry J.
“Barry was wonderful taking care of our pup. He was responsible and very communicative throughout. We would definitely recommend Barry and will plan to use him again.”
11. Hugo & Julia C.
“We are very thankful for the care Julia gave our dog while we were away on vacation. She was great about providing updates and was able to accommodate for his extra needs due to his arthritis. It was wonderful knowing he was in good hands so we could enjoy our trip!”
12. Yalan & Lan D.
“Nell was so well cared for that she didn't want to leave! Nell is an 11 year old Golden Retriever who loves tennis balls, treats, and people, but she can be a little iffy with other dogs, so we asked Yalan and family to care for her while we traveled for a week. Yalan and Lan were great! They played with Nell, took her for long walks, and they sent us photos and videos and updates every day. Nell was so pampered that when I went to bring her home she took the leash in her mouth and lead us back to the front door of the house, clearly wanting to stay. Yalan, Lan and family are warm and welcoming, and theirs is a perfect second home for any pup lucky enough to stay there. Don't hesitate to trust your precious pup with them!”
13. Yanbo Y.
“Great experience. Yanbo met us outside with the family's two border collies—who are totally adorable and extremely friendly—and Kiwi immediately took off to play with them. They have a huge yard in a wonderful, quiet green space. When we picked him up three days later, our guy seemed tired and happy. Well fed and well cared for :) We're very grateful, and would definitely recommend Yanbo to others!”
14. Allison H.
“Allison was very responsive and took great care of Reggie. She took him for walks every day and send pictures. He seemed very happy when we picked him up. Will definitely rebook again!”
15. Robert H.
“Robert and his family took very good care of our pup and we came home to a happy pup. They also sent us pictures to keep us updated and our pup seemed really happy with them! They were also kind enough to accommodate schedule change. Would definitely recommend them!”
16. Nancy O.
“Nancy was great with our dog. She has two dogs of her on and we set up a time before to meet her dogs where to make sure they got along. Nancy had a great set up at the house with a fenced in back yard and allowed our dog to sleep anywhere her wanted even in the bed with the other dogs. She sent daily pictures and updates which were nice to see. I would recommend her to take care of your dog.”
17. Molly W.
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog with Molly for six days. From the very beginning, Molly and her family were warm, welcoming, and accommodating. She arranged a meet and greet that immediately gave us confidence that our dog would be in great hands. Throughout the stay, Molly treated our dog like a member of her own family, and her communication was excellent — she sent regular, detailed updates along with photos that really put our minds at ease. Her own dog is very sweet and got along wonderfully with ours, making the experience even better. We had every confidence that our dog was safe, happy, and loved the entire week. It was truly an ideal stay, and we will definitely be using Molly again in the future.”
18. Arnav J.
“Arnav is great with communication from the beginning and throughout. He provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. His family has a nice fenced-in back yard. He and his family seem to love dogs and have enjoyed our pup. We have a pretty large play pen that our pup is comfortable sleeping in, and Arnav and his family were very flexible with the setup (we set the pen up in their dining room). Highly recommend him!”
19. Lauren K.
“Lauren was wonderful and very easy to work with. She sent pictures throughout the trip. Our pup had a great time and was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
20. Sarah R.
“Sarah thank you so much for being so incredible with Sawyer. I was wondering if you would be able to take Sawyer overnight again from May 16th evening to the 19th evening.”
