“Megan and Jenny exceeded our expectations by providing daily updates and of course superb care for Turbo. I could tell Turbo enjoyed the environment and interactions with Megan and Jenny. High recommended!”
“Lee took such great care of our dog over the holidays. We were so at ease even as first time boarders. She sent frequent updates which we really appreciated. We will be using her services again and highly recommend for other dog parents”
“Beth and Jeff took amazing care of my dog Fatima. I was nervous leaving her because I have only left her once before. However, Beth and Jeff have an amazing house with a huge backyard and allow the dogs free range of the area. In addition they allow the dogs to choose their sleep place. It was important to me that Fatima would not be crated during her stay. Beth and Jeff sent many updates with pictures showing Fatima’s playtime and rest time and eating. They even provided her with a slow feeder when they noticed she ate too fast! Amazing care takers who clearly care about my dogs well being and health and who want to ensure your dog has the best experience while they stay with them. It is evident they love dogs, understand dog behavior, how to read dog communication, and how to help dogs feel comfortable and adjust to the environment while they stay there. I highly recommend Beth and Jeff and will use their services again in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving me peace of mind while I was away! And thank you so much for giving Fatima a safe and amazing stay with you guys! I am so incredibly grateful. 🙏 ❤️”
“Chad was lovely with our two dogs - dealt calmly with our nervous older boy, and the younger dog had a good time playing outside. Very accommodating with a lot of last-minute rescheduling, and the atmosphere is just what our dogs feel comfortable: a family home, where they can nap on the couch and potter about.”
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
“Suzanne is a wonderful and trustworthy dog sitter. She has a beautiful property for dogs to roam around safely outside. She also helped with my dogs eye drops and pills with no problem.”
“Alexis and her roommate very curious to learn about Puffy as I dropped him off which was nice. They were very communicative and kept me up to date with texts and pictures. Thanks alot!”
“Lilly and her husband, David, took excellent care of our dog! Lily has been very attentive to details, and our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Her frequent updates, both written and in photos, gave us much-needed peace of mind during vacation. What’s more amazing is that our dog picked up commands that she long forgot and new ones from Lilly’s training during her stay with Lilly. We highly recommend them!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Isaac and Jordan were amazing. They sent a good amount of updates and made sure Nemo felt right at home. I look forward to having them watch Nemo again!”
“Kim and Jeff are great! I am very impressed with their care routine, and they are clearly experienced in caring for dogs. My dog Mason had a great time, and I got several pictures and even a short video clip while I was away. I already have another stay booked with them for next month!”
“Wonderful thoughtful caring dog sitter. Has a perfect set up for dog sitting. Gave dog walks and sent pictures and videos so I could see the fun he was having. Even brushed my little one's teeth! (His breath came back smelling better than ever.) Thank you Juliana!”
“I had an excellent experience with this dog sitter caring for my elderly dog. They ensured that all of my dog’s needs were met — from medication management to gentle exercise and plenty of love. Their regular updates gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for high-quality, caring support for their senior pet.”
“Everything went wonderfully and Dvora made us feel listened to and understood, and her deep experience with dogs and cats is evident. Barnes warmed up quickly and was excited to see Dvora for the second time and went with her happily and willingly, which is a very good sign for him!”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”

“Wonderful household. So caring, attentive and loving. Our baby had what we believe was a little anxiety attack the first few days and wouldn’t eat. They kept us updated the whole time whilst we were 5000 miles away which we appreciated massively, and they successfully got him back to his usual bossy self! When I picked him up it was obvious how well he’d bonded with the whole family. Won’t be going to anyone else from here-on-in!”

Amanda & Christopher B.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda as a dog sitter on Rover! She is one of the most devoted and responsible dog moms I know—her French Bulldog is not just her pet but her adventure partner. Whether it’s going on hikes, exploring new parks, or just spending quality time cuddling at home, Amanda is all about giving dogs the best life possible. She has a natural energy that dogs gravitate toward, and she’s incredibly attentive to their needs. I’ve seen firsthand how patient, loving, and playful she is—not only with her own pup but with other dogs she meets. She’s also super reliable and detail-oriented, which makes her someone I’d trust 100% to care for my own dog. Any pup that stays with Amanda is guaranteed to get tons of affection, attention, and adventure. She’ll treat your dog like family!”

Alexandra was an exceptional sitter! My dog Ruth gets nervous in new environments and Alexandra was sensitive to her specific needs, allowing her space when she first arrived so Ruth had time to get comfortable. Alexandra sent pictures and videos of Ruth playing so I know Ruth had a great time. I highly recommend her!
My mind was 100% at ease during Baxter’s stay with Andrea! As usual, she took excellent care of him, and he had a great time hanging with his bestie Bennett. Andrea sent updates and pics regularly, and she is always wonderful in communications. Thank you so much!!
I’m blown away! Our dog requires a bit of extra work due to some medical issues. We found it difficult to find a ‘rover’ willing to put in the extra effort to take care of our little guy and thankfully, it led us to Mariana & Julian. They put us to ease immediately. The organization, care, communication and love we received truly blew us away and Baxter simply thrived in their household.
Jenny and Megan were amazing with my pup Jackson. They were so good to him while I was gone that I think he was conflicted about coming back home when I picked him up. They were great communicators, updating me with pictures and had genuine concern for my pup. Would definitely recommend them.
Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to!
