“Michelle and Otavio are very warm and welcoming care providers. They instantly put my precious pup and me at ease by inviting us into their home and demonstrating their natural pet charming talents. They also regularly shared photos and sent playful vacation stories written from my dog’s perspective. I would certainly request their service again.”
“Maria is such an excellent sitter ! My dog Zion loves to go to her house, and I feel so comfortable leaving him with her ! Highly recommend booking with Maria !”
“Diana and Scott are the absolute best! I'm usually anxious when leaving Scout behind while we're away, but they took such great care of her that I'll never be worried if she's with them. They were communicative throughout her stay and shared daily updates/photos. I've actually never seen her get comfortable with new people so quickly (she was handing out belly rubs on day 2 which is not typical for her lol). So thankful to have found them as sitters and hope to keep using them in the future!”
“Ruben was incredible! He went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and safe.He was extremely communicative, and sent frequent photo and text updates. My dog and I both loved the experience, we will definitely be back!!”
“Michael and Joanna were great. The communication was wonderful. They were very accommodating for Sunny and all of his energy. He got to play lots and they kept me updated with tons of pictures throughout his stay. I felt that he was safe and loved during his time with them. I would definitely recommend them & rebook when I need them again.”
“Angel is a great communicator. He takes such good care of my old pup. He find inventive things for her to do, to make her comfortable, and even encourage her to eat! So thankful for him!”
“Peter was very communicative throughout Manjus visit. Manju came back a happy but tired puppy. Peter was also flexible when I needed an extra day for Manju to stay, which was really nice. It was also nice to see Manju interacting with another dog.”
“Deijah was very quick to respond to my request to watch my baby Arlo at the last minute for the weekend while my husband and I went out of town. She was very easy to get in touch with and sent me updates and pictures frequently. Arlo clearly loved his stay because he was SO tired when he got home. Thank you!”
“SUCH A GREAT EXPERIENCE. This was my first time leaving skylar overnight with sitter from rover. luciene was soo awesome and accommodating. She kept in constant contact sent pictures and kept me in the loop about my doggies experience. Would 10/10 book again”
“Julia was great! I had to book a rover last minute. Julia saved the day. We managed to get a meet up scheduled prior to Kiki’s stay. Kiki got a five star treatment. Plenty of communication. I felt like Kiki enjoyed her stay away from home just as much I enjoyed getting a short 3 day vacay. I will definitely book Julia again. Great location. I felt safe leaving her with Julia and I know Kiki enjoyed herself.”
“Ian was great with Zeus. Also very well with sending me pictures and videos to keep me up-to-date on how Zeus was doing. Would definitely recommend Ian for your dog sitting needs.”
“Charise was amazing with our dog Zoe! Zoe came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Charise kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took Zoe on walks, car rides, and let her play in the yard with her sweet dog Navi. You could tell Zoe was getting lots of attention and love the entire time. We also really appreciated that Charise dropped Zoe off at home for us. Highly recommend Charise if you are looking for someone caring, reliable, and attentive to watch your fur baby!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter or boarder for our dog. And that means a lot because we are very picky when it comes to our dog. Kind, thorough, responsive, and actually cares about our dog!”
“Adam was fantastic to work with! He was very responsive and timely with his messaging, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I was away for the weekend attending a wedding, and it was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands. I’ll definitely be looking to use his services again in the future!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog Nero with Chad and his wife. Normally he is super anxious about being left behind but was perfectly happy to hop right into their arms at drop off. Received photos/video even though it was a quick 2-nt stay. We know he had fun and was well loved and taken care of.”
“Penny had an excellent time with Rob and I will definitely book him again!! He sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated. I wasn’t worried at all because she was left in amazing hands and I had the chance to meet with Rob before sending her over. 10/10 experience.”
“Iwona is the best! Hands down. Full stop. Our high energy goldendoodle has stayed with her countless times and every experience is better than the last. Gus pulls me to her door and is soooo exicted for his home away from home! Iwona takes the best care of him and always provides us with pictures and updates. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Clarissa did a very amazing job of watching my dog. My dog got plenty of walks and attention and play time, and was definitely in good spirits when I came to pick her up after this stay. Clarissa is very easy to communicate with and sent me daily updates with pictures on how Coco was doing while with her and I greatly appreciated it. I highly recommend letting your pet stay with Clarissa and will most definitely be contacting her again to watch Coco in the future.”

Tim did a fantastic job watching my dog, Simba. He was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me great peace of mind. Simba was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with him. I highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Simba!
Highly Recommended Dog Sitter! I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the moment we left our dogs in their care, we felt completely at ease knowing they were being treated with so much love, attention, and compassion. They truly went above and beyond our expectations and cared for our dogs as if they were part of their own family. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and receiving excellent care. Seeing how relaxed and content our dogs were made all the difference. Their dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really stood out. They paid attention to our dogs’ needs, routines, and personalities, ensuring they felt safe and loved while we were away. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about caring for pets, I wholeheartedly recommend them. We would not hesitate to book with them again and are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care they provided. Thank you for treating our dogs like family! ❤️🐾
We had a great experience with Stacy! We started with a meet and greet, and she was wonderful with our 10-year-old dog, Reggie. She was super friendly, communicated clearly throughout, and it was obvious from the start that she genuinely loves dogs. Reggie especially enjoyed all the time she spent with him outside, which is one of his favorite things. We felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care and would happily recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
She has been such an amazing dog sitter for my pup! She is incredibly sweet, clearly loves and cares for the dogs she watches, and always makes me feel at ease leaving my dog with her. She’s very easy to coordinate with for both drop-off and pick-up, which makes everything seamless and stress-free. I also really appreciate the daily updates and photos — it’s so nice knowing my pup is happy, loved, and well cared for while I’m away. Highly recommend!
“Bere was very helpful and communicated with me throughout the entire process. She made everything so easy, especially since this was our first time using Rover and leaving Willow and Vixen with someone new. We felt comfortable knowing they were in great hands, and we truly appreciated her care and updates
Skipper had the best time with Katherine, Cory and the fam! She enjoyed playing with their dogs Brownie and Mocha so much she didn’t even want to come home after her stay! I received so many cute updates and pics and felt very calm knowing my baby was in great hands!
Jasmin and her husband were wonderful pet sitters! They were thorough during the screening and asked plenty of questions which made us feel like Jerry would be in good hands. During the stay, Jasmin sent pictures daily of our dog who looked like he was having a blast. Jasmin and her husband are experienced in administering medications to pets which was good to know because our dog is on a strict prescription diet due to his severe allergies. Jasmin’s husband alerted us to Jerry having eye discharge and let us know that they’d be able to administer his prescription eye drops next time (we left them at home). Overall, Jasmin and her husband did an excellent job caring for Jerry while we were away. Highly recommend them if you need to board your dog!
