“Rachel was an exceptional dog sitter. My dog LOVED staying with her and was very happy when I returned home. Rachel kept in constant contact during my trip and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog that they love!”


“Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Anna is the best sitter you could ever ask for. You can walk away with a confidence that your pet is in the safest hands. She took our dog around the city and took incredible care of him. She is extremely thorough and prompt in her communication. She is also a great photographer and be ready to get amazing pics of your pet.”


“Yang has a wonderful caring family that loves animals. My dog can be scared and nervous about new people and other dogs but he loved Yang and her family. Because of my dog’s behavior, she agreed to do a trial stay. I appreciate how Yang kept me updated on how my dog is doing.”


“Sunisa was great with our energetic 3 year old German Shepherd! She was communicative, kept up with his exercise regimen and even gave us a lovely picture of him when we returned! We would definitely trust her with watching our pup again.”


“Michelle took exceptional care of my very nervous and anxious dog. I received daily pictures and updates while I was away letting me know how my pup was doing. Would absolutely book Michelle again!”


“Aurora was wonderful with our rescue hound for a weekend stay. She continually updated us with pictures and gave us a full report when we picked him up. She obviously loves dogs and we will ask her again.”


“Cora went above and beyond while watching our dog Remi, she was very helpful with his recent injury care, sent lots of photos and updates, and helped calm his anxiety, would highly recommend!”


“Cheuck is a great baby sitter!It is the first time to let my puppy stay with someone else. I was worried at the beginning until I visit their home. he also has a cute shiba inu and I asked for experiences of raising puppy. When I'm outside he will always give me a shot of my puppy's moment. Anyway, my puppy also had a great time at his home”


“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”


“Nathaniel was awesome and my dog was so happy with him. He took my dog hiking, swimming and outdoor events. Thanks for being so affordable yet a high quality dog sitter 🙏. He also sent us many pics and updates.”


“We cannot thank Emily and Paul enough for taking such great care of our dog, Sully! Emily is so kind and responsive- we loved receiving daily updates and photos. We also love that he had another dog to hang with- their dog Hazel is so sweet and playful! We highly recommend Emily and will definitely be reaching out in the near future! Thank you again!!”


“Mia & Taowei took great care of Darby and they were flexible coordinating dates and times that worked for both of us. Darby returned home happy and well cared for. I appreciate you!”

“This was my first time using Rover.com and Marilyn could not have been a better choice for my little rescue dog. Right from the first introduction my dog took to her right away. Marilyn is very knowledgeable about pet care, and she is very welcoming and easy to talk to. She clearly loves animals and has a great setup in her home. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with Marilyn again. Thank you for the great service!”


“Andrew took impeccable care of our 2 dogs while we were away for 10 days. The proof was in the daily photos/updates of walks, time enjoying the sun in his fenced in yard and cozy nap times. Both our dogs would give him a 5 paw review!”
