“Valerie is amazing with my baby. She always sends pics. I call her my baby's stepmom😁. Valerie is always my 1st choice sitter. When she's not available, I'm devastated 💔. My baby absolutely loves her. My baby is blind, but when he hears her voice, he gets so excited.”

“Another great experience with Meghan! Echo loves her time with Meghan and friends. She is made right at home there. I never worry about her...she's treated like part of the family. Would HIGHLY recommend Meghan :)”

“Our lovely beagle, Snoop, had lots of fun at Rajita’s house with her lovely family! No problems with pick up and drop off and received some cute pictures while I was away. Thank you!!”

“We have used Sharon a couple of different times and she always does a phenomenal job. She caters to Clancy’s whims making him a little reluctant to want to come home. She provides plenty of pictures to satisfy our concerns. We appreciate Sharon and will continue to use her services.”

“Shekenia is amazing. My babies love her and they were well taken care of. The consistent updates and pictures were awesome. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies as if they were your own.”

“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lorraine to keep your animal. Not only is she home and attentive, she keeps you well informed about how the dog is doing while away. I felt very secure leaving my rat terrier for the first time ever and will absolutely use her again. She adored my pup the whole time and I cannot say enough how much I appreciate that! Also accommodating to keep a extra day so I didn’t have to rush. Thank you soooo much!! 5 stars!!”

“Jeremy and family were absolutely amazing. We had to book short notice and the process and communication was excellent. He cared for our little guy just as we would! We will definitely be rebooking.”

“Thank you for taking such great care of George due to last minute wedding out of state! Received so many picture updates which were welcomed since he usually is by my side 24/7.”

“Renee and her family did a amazing job watching my sweet girl! I felt the instant comfort walking into her home and being around them! I usually go with a vet or a boarder when going out of town but since I was going for a whole week I wanted something more personable and I couldn’t of found a better match! The amount of pics and videos I received made me feel so good seeing Remy having such a great time. They treated her like family, I will definitely be booking again!”

“Piper has been staying with Scott and Heather for years. When she arrives at their home, she literally runs to the front door. This last visit, she jumped out the truck window, because , waiting for someone to open the door apparently, wasn't quick enough. They are her second family!”

“Meredith was so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Our dogs had their extra special holiday separation anxiety and Meredith was so sweet and caring to them. She really took time to ensure they were settling in as well as possible and kept in contact with us about their behavior.”


“I was new to Rover and now I don’t know how I’ve gone without it. Sonia and her husband are sweet and took great care of my fur baby, even providing me with tips as this is my first dog and they have lots of experience”

“I've tried several Rover dog sitters and Alcino is the best. They take your dog in as one of the family. No spending long hours in a crate. Just jump in and feel at home.”

“Elizabeth and Richard were so great with Jett. It was our first time leaving her and they made her feel comfortable and safe. Jett came home a happy tired girl. Thank you.”

“Karen was absolutely amazing with my dog Loki! It was my first time leaving him with someone in the area, and she did everything to make me feel confident and comfortable with leaving him overnight. Loki got along great with her sweet golden, the pictures were adorable. We will definitely use her again!”

“Mitzi and her family are fantastic! We have a very temperamental schnoodle that loves Mitzi and her kiddos because they are very gentle and allow her time to adjust and do things on her own terms. We also have a Pomeranian that loves everyone and feels at home here too. This literally is our dogs’ second family.”

“Amanda was great with our handsome Finn! We had a last minute matter come up out of state and our regular sitter was out of town as well. Luckily after searching and searching I was able to find Amanda! We have a 7ish year old Doberman who is super loving and quirky and she took such great care of him. I’m so happy that I did not have to worry as she was sending pics and updates the entire time. Finn came home happy and healthy and we will definitely be using her services in the future. Thanks Amanda!!!”
“Great experience! Andrew accepted my last minute request and took excellent care of Kali. Communication was smooth, and my Kali was well taken care of. I would definitely book again.”
