François was absolutely fantastic. He went over our routine with Atlas and took Atlas for multiple long walks - Atlas was in heaven. François kept us up-to-date on their activities together and was easy to communicate with!

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!

My pup Lyla had a fantastic stay with Yick-Hong and his wife for a week! All the pictures they sent me she looked so happy and relaxed. She even was sleeping on her back because she was so comfortable (vulnerable position for dogs). They took her on walks to new areas which she loves and even ran with her because they could tell she enjoyed it. They also provided detailed daily updates and were responsive to any messages I sent. I will definitely have Lyla stay with them again!

I had a great experience. Bok was excellent at communicating and sending photos and updates, and took excellent care of my dog Gatsby. Bok was very punctual and at the same time accommodating when my flight was delayed. My dog was clearly happy to to stay with Bok and his loving family, I could tell it from all the photos, and I felt that Gatsby liked it so much that he was even a bit reluctant to leave😅 I will be happy to use Bok’s services again. Totally recommend it!

Aysegul and her husband took amazing care of our cat, Momo. She had a wonderful time and actually relaxed, played, and ate - all things that are very unusual for her when we travel. Aysegul shared several updates and adorable photos of Momo throughout the day, which really put us at ease and made it so much easier knowing she was doing well. We highly recommend them!

Ann was a wonderful sitter for Maisy. We had a complex situation because our dog had some health concerns arise right before her stay but Ann was very reassuring and gave Maisy lots of loving care and support. She is clearly very experienced and had some good insight and resources to offer more generally about our aging dog's situation. Thanks Ann!

Yi took wonderful care of our dog. We got frequent updates and lots of photos on walks and eating. This was our first rover, so our dog got quite stressed being in a new environment but Yi did a really great job of taking care of him during that time. She was very thoughtful for our dog and stress mess he made. We really appreciate her for that.
