“Stephanie was such a great host to my dog Bruno, she maintained communication/updates throughout the visit and was very attentive to my instructions for Bruno given he has a hard time adjusting to new places. Would definitely book with them again! -Lindsay”

“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”

“Elizabeth cared for our pup for the first time on our longest period away from her during an international trip. We never had to worry or wonder how she was because of how consistently Elizabeth kept us in the loop. We are so thankful we found her, she took amazing care of our baby!”

“Joe was very accommodating and took excellent care of Benji. He kept me updated and made the entire experience worry free. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“Lia was great! Our older and anxious cat was very comfortable with her. We got frequent updates and photos and felt very reassured that our cat was in good hands. Our cat needs daily medication, which Lia also took care of without issues. Highly recommended!”

“Krista and Kira are WONDERFUL! Clearly great dog lovers and were so sweet with our senior tripod. He was clearly so happy and relaxed with them and that made being away stress free! Thank you SO MUCH!”

“Alli was fantastic. She and her family are exactly the kind-hearted and responsible people that you would hope to leave your pet with. She sent me pictures throughout my dog's entire stay and was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Can not say enough good things. Thanks so much Alli!”
“Rut has been my dog’s sitter multiple times now, and she’s always been trustworthy and reliable. I received several updates to confirm that my dog has been taking his medicine, eating his meals, and going to the bathroom as usual. She also keeps her space tidy and my dog’s paws and fur clean!”

“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”

“Terez was great, I have a special needs dog and she did so good taking of him. She clearly loves dogs and has a kind way about her with them. Highly recommend her service. She provided regular feedback on the stay and sent some cute pictures of my guy looking comfortable with her”

“Diego, was great caring for our fur babies during our vacation. He communicated with us everyday and provided photos and. videos of our babies enjoying themselves. They appeared to he enjoy him and his roommate. Our babies are spoiled at home and we can tell they received the same attention as if they were home. We really appreciated this. He provided them space both indoors and outdoors for them to run and have as much playtime as the needed. Diego understood their mealtime and gave Apollo extra attention so he would eat as he is normally not a good eater. They Loved hanging out with his puppy CoCo and they all seemed to get a long great. We don’t trust anyone else watching our babies but Diego! Thank you so much for treating our babies like family.”

“Tamara and her family are amazing. Oreo and Bentley loved staying with her. They took them on daily walks and her kids played with them, which they loved. She sent us photo updates the whole time I was away. Communication was easy, she was super reliable, and we came home to two happy, tired pups after their stay. Highly recommend Tamara if you need someone trustworthy and clearly loves animals. Her whole family made Oreo and Bentley feel right at home.”

“Jenna was awesome and took great care of my dog Winston for a whole week! She frequently sent picture updates which I greatly appreciated since I always get nervous leaving Winston. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again next time!”


“Patience was absolutely AMAZING!! She cared for my pup like she was family. Peaches acted like she didn’t want to come home. Lol! Patience communicates daily with videos and messages to provide reassurance that your fur baby is great hands. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking with Patience again in the coming weeks. I cannot thank her enough for her support and the TLC she gave to Peaches.”

“David and Santos did a wonderful job of taking care of Hermes. The set up in their house and yard is ideal for dogs. They kept us well informed with pictures and updates. Also, they are very experienced dog people. My dog - although super loveable - is strong on the leash and can be overly enthusiastic when playing with other dogs -- but David and Santos were unfazed! I felt 100% comfortable leaving Hermes with them.”


“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”

“Matt and Kelly (and their sweet daughter!) took great care of Robbin while I was away! They took her on plenty of walks and runs and I received pictures while I was away which was very much appreciated.”
“Janel was fantastic with Ellie! She kept me posted on Ellie by providing daily pictures. She also made sure Ellie got in a lot of steps and had a lot of play time. Will definitely book Janel in the future!”

Jade is very warm and inviting. We agreed on a 2 hr. meet and greet visit for our pet to be with her, given her separation anxiety and not being with her regular sitter. Jade reported our pet whining for the first hour being with her. When I asked Jade if she would be open to a future visit in hopes of my pet becoming lass anxious. She was immediate in saying yes.

Kaylee and Joe were absolutely wonderful with Quincy, treating him with the same level of care and love as I do. I received several updates and photos a day of him enjoying his vacation, from people watching out the window to going on walks in the neighborhood. I will gladly hire them to watch Quincy again in the future.

Krista was so wonderful with our German Shepherd! Our dog loved staying with her and got tons of walks and activity in. Krista knows dogs (especially GSDs) and was super understanding of requests we had like not allowing on leash greetings. We got tons of updates and pictures where you could tell Dakota was having a blast. Would highly recommend her and will definitely board with her again!

Maria and Emmet were wonderful dog sitters! They were communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure papi was happy and comfortable. They kept me updated throughout the stay and took great care of everything. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Maria and Emmet to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters!

Cristian was an absolute gem!! He accepted my last minute booking for Chase and Lala, and I’m so grateful he did. He loved on my Chase and Lala so much and I could tell as soon as I picked them up and from the pictures. Thank you so much for keeping and loving on my Chase and Lala
Oindrila genuinely loves dogs and my Finn loves her back. She watched my pitbull-husky mix for 2 nights and he came back happy and tired in the best way! I got regular photos and updates without having to check in or ask for them and got a full debrief when I picked him up. I hate to leave my boy but he already can’t wait for his next “vacation” at her apartment!

Emma is reliable, courteous, communicative, caring, and patient. I particularly appreciate that Emma aims to make pets and owners comfortable while pets are under her care and reaches out with questions to ensure this. Emma always stood out to us as a star sitter and we were fortunate to book with her again for a late afternoon/evening sitting. Pictures told the whole story- our Velcro pup was enjoying his night away from home and was in great spirits when we picked him up. We recommend Emma without reservation.

My nervous dog Maple, who can be wary of new people, absolutely adored Sonja. She quickly felt comfortable with her - enough so that she was snuggly and affectionate with her, which is a real rarity! Sonja was wonderfully communicative and attentive. She shared regular daily photos and updates to let me know how Maple was doing. I was away for 10 days, so that really gave me peace of mind to know that she was comfortable and being so well looked-after. I would book with Sonja to watch Maple again in a heartbeat.

Mia and her daughter truly understood and loved my dog for the week. Mia provided many updates, pics, and videos of my dog throughout the stay. She was fantastic to communicate with, and she was accommodating for pickup and drop off. We’ve had plenty of good Rover experiences, and Mia has been the best sitter of all. My dog can’t wait to return!
