1. Chad A.
“Chad is wonderful with my Benny. When I leave Benny in his care I know that Benny has a great time and is well looked after because he sends me picture/video updates. Benny is always wagging his tail when he sees Chad. I will continue to book Chad.”
2. Danielle M.
“Danielle treated our dog to more TLC and walks than we do ourselves, to be honest. Snowy loved her and she was a pleasure to work with. 5 paws up 🐕”
3. Kelly L.
“Kelly is amazing! She is the best dog sitter we’ve encountered this far! Took care of our senior dog so well, great communication, super attentive, and went the extra mile. Kaci can’t wait to stay with her again. :)”
4. Jeff & Beth K.
“5 stars all the way! Jeff and his family are wonderful! Our pup is shy and skittish of new people but Jeff and family quickly put her at ease. Even better, I got loads of picture updates. My pup was loved and cared for and had a great stay! My pup will definitely be back!”
5. Zo H.
“Zo is an exemplary pet sitter in my opinion. This was my first time boarding my cats for a vacation and she walked me through the process beforehand, which I greatly appreciated. She suggested I bring things like a scratching post which I hadn’t even considered. Zo has been more than accommodating by communicating daily with updates, pictures, and even videos of my cats’ visit. When it was time to pick them up, Zo had all of my things conveniently packed and ready to go by the door. The whole process went so smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating, experienced, and friendly pet sitter. Thank you Zo! I will be recommending you to everyone I know and will come back the next time I need a sitter.”
6. Sara B.
“Absolutely great experience! Sara provided attentive care, tailored to Lily's senior needs, ensuring she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. Communication was excellent, receiving updates and photos regularly, which eased any worries. Her little dog Soba is such a great companion, first time I saw Lily was cuddling with other dog. 🥹 they’re so cute together. 🥰 Highly recommend Sara.”
7. Melina B.
“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”
8. Pablo S.
“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”
9. Alexandra E.
“My little furry baby had an awesome time with Alexandra, her hubby, and little Taiko! Thank you for the video/photo updates and caring for Aslan.”
10. Megan K.
“Megan was so great to work with! Super responsive and sent lots of updates! She did a great job taking care of our senior pomeranian! Thank you so much! Will definitely book again :)”
11. Cassandra L.
“Cassandra was a fantastic sitter. We left our slightly nervous dog with some separation anxiety with Cassandra for 4 nights and she did great. Got updates and pics throughout. And just really appreciated Cassandra’s vibe and caring nature that was instantly recognizable. Definitely plan on getting Cassandra’s help again for walk and boardings in the future. Thank you so much!”
12. Renae S.
“Renae and her dog Kimchi are simply the best. Renae is very thoughtful and communicative. Kimchi is wonderful with other dogs. Much appreciated!”
13. Jennifer L.
“I cannot laud Jennifer’s care enough. Truly. We entrusted our brand new puppy of 10 week old to her, and she not only kept us updated regularly, but potty trained, taught her “gentle” and “wait,” and socialized her! Besides the 3-4 walks daily, Jennifer played with our pup with toys and provided lots of belly rubs. She is truly amazing!!!”
14. Kit Jon S.
“Kit took great care of our dog Oskar! I especially appreciated Kit’s updates while we were away, and it was our first time boarding Oskar at Kit’s place. I felt at ease, and Oskar was the happiest doggie when we picked him up after 2 weeks at Kit’s. Definitely recommend boarding your pup with Kit.”
15. Suzanne E.
“Suzanne is amazing and has an incredible space for hosting dogs. My partner and I left our pup with Suzanne for several days, and it's very obvious Pinot had the time of her life. We received regular updates from Suzanne during the stay with photos and videos. I very much appreciate she specializes in smaller dogs, so I knew Pinot was going to be well taken care of and have the social time she needs. We would have Suzanne watch Pinot anytime- and recommend others to do the same!”
16. Sarah E.
“Sarah has watched our 3 year old doodle on and off for the past few years. We usually need the help when we are going to be out of town for a week or more and we often also have her house sit if she’s open to it. What makes her such a great support for us is that she’s a natural dog lover, super responsible, and just very communicative from the start. She’s also just an organized person and really timely about his feeds, walks, and any medications etc. I wouldn’t think twice about having Sarah watch your puppo!”
17. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”
18. Andrea L.
“My little guy had the BEST time with Andrea, Bennett, & Abby. He was happy as a clam when I picked him up! Lots of photos & video were sent and communication was great.”
19. Hy & Arlo K.
“Hy and Arlo watched my girl Priscilla for a week while I was out of the country and I will 100% have them watch her again. Pris is sometimes reactive to other dogs, so I'm always nervous leaving her in someone else's care (especially when I'm a flight away!), but Hy and Arlo had experience with this and I felt totally comfortable. I knew it was a good match from the first time I brought her over for a meet and greet. Pris just walked right in, rolled all over the carpet, and made herself at home. I can tell she was well loved and cared for in our absence! I highly recommend.”
20. Natalie & Matthew W.
“The best care we could ask for to accommodate our old man. Natalie and Matthew provide comfort and love beyond expectation. Shadow loves going to stay with them and comes home happy and calm. Thanks again, until next time!”
