“Miguel & Lisa are literally my dog’s second home. He LOVES it there and screams out the window Everytime he realizes he’s coming there. So thankful for the both of them & how they’ve been so patient and loving to my sweet boy (even when he excited pees all over them lol) i know now he may need a diaper band. Nonetheless, they’re truly heaven sent and I’m thankful to have them!”

“I couldn't have been blessed with a better sitter. Diana and her family totally exceeding my expectations with taking care of my Apollo. I received updates and photos multiple times a day, that showed the love he was getting, the amazing care he was getting, and he was happy. This was the 1st time using Rover and I was extremely nervous, but Diana and her family took away all my worry. She and her family celebrated Apollo's 3rd birthday with him. We were greeted with balloons. How awesome was that! Diana's love has for dogs shows immensely as well as her good character, and I would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their dog. Thank you Diana, I appreciate you and your family. Until we meet again...”

“Our dog had a great stay with Tyler and his family. We couldn't be more pleased. We will definitely ask Tyler to take our dog any time we need to be away. Thank you Tyler.”

“Ewelina was an excellent sitter for my dog Molly. She was very communicative with pictures, and handled her finicky food attitude! She gave her pills daily and I came home to a happy dog. Thank you, Ewelina!!! Next time I travel I’ll definitely look for Ewelina to care for Molly!”

“Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!”

“Laurie and Richard were amazing with my older little pup with anxiety. She loved her stay with them and they catered to her needs so well. The communication and updates were wonderful!”

“Kerstyn was so wonderful and attentive. She was super communicative throughout the time my dog boarded with her, sending me updates on what my dog was up to. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was in good hands and having a good time. It was a great experience both for my dog and for me. She was sensitive to any concerns or specific attention areas that I had as well. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need to leave my dog in trusted hands, and I’m sure my dog would be happy to return as well.”

“Nani was fantastic from the meet and greet all the way to the end of my dog’s stay. She was very friendly and kept me informed with great pictures of my fur baby. I highly recommend her for services.”

“Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”


“Kristen and Joshua were great! They were very responsive and excellent about communicating. Cammie was very happy staying with them and their dog. Would definitely recommend them.”

“Elizabeth was FANTASTIC! She was so thorough in understanding Hudson’s needs, sent tons of picture and video updates, and kept him entertained all weekend. She even flexed with our schedule to make sure he was taken care of no matter when our travel plans shifted due to all the uncertainty in the area. 10/10 would book her again and again!”

“Leila took great care of Penny for a full week. She was kind enough to meet with us prior to Penny’s stay so that Penny would have a sense of familiarity at drop off. She asked good questions and sent many updates while we were away. We appreciated her caring demeanor and would definitely book again!”

“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.”

“Outstanding host! She took excellent care of our English bulldog and provided funny notes and photos throughout his stay. We will absolutely book with Jen again! 5 stars!”
“Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

“Christine is amazing! Our dog Brie has been staying with her when we go on holiday for a year now - every time is fantastic and I never worry when we are away. Brie was welcomed like family into Christine's home again this time, and even greeted by some of the dog friends she has made over the year! I feel so fortunate that we found Christine as now we know that Brie is having fun and is safe and sound when we have to go away. Thanks, as always, Christine!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Lizabeth and her taking care of my Loki. The daily updates and pictures were a highlight of my day. He looked happy and like he was having the time of his life. With that said, Lizabeth and her family were the PERFECT “pick” to care for and keep my Loki surrounded by love and attention. If you love your pup, then Lizabeth and her family should be first on your list. That’s where they are for me and for Loki.”

“Kelly was amazing. The attention and the care to our pup. Our Kazuki was a little anxious at first but he felt right at home with Kelly. She made sure to send loads of pics and check ins. She was sure to make him feel at home. Thanks again Kelly. I surely will book with her soon. ☺️”

“Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.”

“Thao and her boyfriend were absolutely incredible with Sherlock! From the very first message, they were incredibly friendly and made me feel completely at ease. Their communication was top-notch; they were always quick to respond and sent plenty of wonderful photo updates throughout the stay, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear they genuinely cared for Sherlock and treated him like their own. I couldn’t have asked for better sitters and will definitely be booking with Thao again. Highly recommended!”

We had a great experience with our sitter and would absolutely book again. They were very kind, kept us updated with photos and videos, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for the entire time. It made a big difference being able to see how comfortable and happy the dogs were while we were away, especially as our dogs are a bit of a handful. Really appreciate the level of communication and care. I would highly recommend!

We had such a wonderful experience with Nyla & Corey! She took exceptional care of our pup and treated her like her own. From regular updates and photos to making sure all of our dog’s routines were followed, everything was handled with so much thought and attention. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our dog was in such loving and capable hands. We could tell our pup felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her again and again, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We’re so grateful for the amazing care she provided!

Another wonderful time with Christine! Our dog Brie had so much fun with Christine - it's like a fabulous sleepover for her at her best friend's house! - and Christine takes such good care of her that we never have to worry about a thing when we are away. Thank you Christine!

Bridgid took great care of our dog and was super easy to work with. She was understanding and flexible with a last minute booking, sent periodic pictures and updates, and we were comfortable knowing our dog was getting personal care like she would at home. We will definitely have Poppy stay with her again. Highly recommend!

We had to leave our lab Kiki with Amelie while recovering from a recent injury. Amelie was so attentive and communicative while we arranged a vet visit remotely. We are super grateful for how she supported Kiki and gave her everything she needed to feel comfortable. Thank you so much to Amelie and her family!
