“Per usual, Denise was amazing! She is Marley’s preferred sitter :) She’s a great communicator and sends updates with pictures. We feel very comfortable leaving our pup with Denise because we know he’ll always be well cared for!”
“We reached out to Yanhong due to a last-minute cancellation by our normal pet sitter, and they were the quick ot reply and accept our request. Each time I reached out, they were as swift to get back to us. We only had a few days to find someone who was open during the holiday weekend! Charlie seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. Really a lifesaver! Thank you so much!”
“Marissa was a wonderful sitter for Goose! She gave daily updates and pics, and seemed to be super comforting and considerate of him during this weeklong, rainy stay.”
“Bassam is the best! He will love and take care of your pups during their stay. My trip got unexpectedly extended a day and Bassam was so understanding. I knew my pups were safe and happy while I was detailing with travel details. I can not recommend him enough!”
“Lilia is very kind, considerate and communicative. She watched our little girl and sent tons of photos so we could see how the visit was going. We really appreciate her watching our pups!”
“This was my first time being away from my pup for any length of time. I felt super comfortable leaving him here and got lots of updates and he seemed to have a great time. Overall great experience.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Barbara!! She watched my dog Stanley for two weeks over the holidays and was absolutely amazing. Stanley can be a bit of a slow burn, and she showed him so much patience and love. She totally understood that he needed space and let him come to her when he was ready. She kept me updated the whole time with messages and photos, which made me feel so much better knowing he was happy and adjusting well. He even got to spend time at their lake house for the holidays and had an absolute blast. I’m so grateful for the care, attention, and kindness she gave him. I would recommend her to anyone and truly couldn’t thank her enough.”
“Aimee took care of my two pups on fairly short notice, and she was amazing to work with from the start! She kept us updated with pictures and videos multiple times a day, which made me feel at ease. I could tell my dogs enjoyed their time with her because they were playful and goofy in all the videos she sent! My dogs can be very anxious, but Aimee worked her magic and made them feel completely comfortable with her and her dog. We will definitely use Aimee again!!”
“Jazzsminn was a SUPERSTAR. She sent constant photos and updates, showed Lua so much love, and made pickup and dropoff seamless. She was responsive and thoughtful. Will definitely be booking again. If you're on the fence, my advice is to choose Jazzminn!!!”
“I don’t know who had a better time: Luna, Samuel, or us! 😂 LOVED our experience with Samuel and look forward to booking again. He was communicative, thoughtful and took great care of our pup.”
“Morgan was the best!! Goblin absolutely loved her and felt very safe and comfortable with her. She sent little updates with photos and it was just perfect. She’s very punctual, responsible, and communicative. I will definitely be booking Morgan again for the future!”
“Sarah was great to our pup! She shared sweet photos and updates throughout the visit. I learned from Sarah about a different style of leash that is much more comfortable for our pup!”
“Cynthia is the best, her communication is great and my pup Paolo always seems happy and comfortable when I drop him off and pick him up. Between the chicken and rice with food and daily walks, I’d say Cynthia takes great care of the pups she watches!”
“Christine and Colinf took amazing care of our sweet dog, Lisa Frank for 2 weeks while we were traveling. They sent multiple updates a day, and our dog looked happy and relaxed. We really felt that they treated Lisa Frank as their own.”
“Mary took excellent care of our littlest family members. We will pick up our pups today and I can’t wait to see them; it was so great to not worry about them while away and know they’ve been with a highly skilled and trustworthy person. Mary has experience working with geriatric dogs, took care of ours like they were her own, is an excellent communicator, and an all-around great person that genuinely cares.”
“We had an amazing experience having Madeline board our dog while we were out of the country for thanksgiving week. She was so friendly and responsive throughout his stay; it was reassuring to get regular updates and know our dog was in great hands and was being kept busy. I actually think our dog was a little bummed to be leaving her when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Aine was absolutely fantastic. From the start and meeting her at first, she asked questions to make sure she understood Ralph’s needs and how best to care for him. She sent daily updates and the CUTEST photos. I can’t recommend her enough and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Aine!!”
“Sarah was a great dog sitter. She is kind and friendly and my older female dog liked being with her very much. Sarah also sent me photos of my dog and was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend Sarah and will refer friends with small dogs to her for care. Thank you Sarah.”
“Cassandra and Jason were lovely hosts for Benito. I received just the right amount of pictures to see he was happy & updates that were detailed enough to let me know he was well cared for. They were very responsive, professional, and flexible - even willing to go above and beyond when a potential travel delay popped up. I will absolutely use their boarding services again!”

We recently had the pleasure of working with this wonderful Rover sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very beginning, her communication was exceptional. She was responsive, professional, thoughtful, and made us feel completely comfortable entrusting our pets to her care. What impressed me most was that she took the time to meet with us and our dogs before the booking. She sat down with us for about 20 minutes, got to know our pets, asked thoughtful questions, carefully reviewed their bios, and made sure everyone was a good fit. That level of care and attention immediately put my mind at ease. Throughout the stay, she provided frequent updates and adorable photos that reassured us our dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving excellent care. It was clear she paid close attention to the details we provided and genuinely cared about our pets’ individual personalities, routines, and needs. Beyond being knowledgeable and attentive, she is simply a very kind human being. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. Finding someone you trust with your pets is invaluable, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you’re looking for a reliable, communicative, detail-oriented, and compassionate pet sitter, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Katie was great with Koko! My usual sitters were booked for the week, so I was thrilled when I found Katie’s profile and she was able to step in. Her reviews speak for themselves! She clearly takes wonderful care of her furry clients. She responded promptly and even agreed to meet for a quick introduction before Koko’s stay. Throughout the week, she sent daily updates and pictures of their adventures, so I always knew how Koko was doing. I’ll definitely be using Katie’s services again and highly recommend her!
Mason did a fantastic job watching my dog, Oscar. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Oscar’s well-being. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away, and Oscar came home happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mason again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.
