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...

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!
