“100% would recommend Ric to care for your pups. Great daily updates and quick response time on bookings. Oscar stayed 1 full week and certainly felt at home. Thanks!!”
“Emily and Patrick are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of my girl Bunny. When my trip was unexpectedly extended due to a flight cancellation, they were so flexible and accommodating. Throughout the weekend they kept me updated with photos and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t be more grateful — thank you both so much!”


“Amy is Awesome!! We haven’t stayed with her since prior to the pandemic and she welcomed us back with open arms last week. My puppies couldn’t get enough of smelling her yard that they used to know so well. She always sends pictures so I know my pups love spending time with her!”
“Lindsay and her family were wonderful and accommodating. They were also very flexible with my pickup time. They and their dog Murphy took great care of Sadie. I will certainly use Lindsay again to take care of Sadie next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend.”

“I had a truly wonderful experience with her taking care of Loki. She followed all of his feeding instructions carefully and maintained his routine very well. His meal timings were consistent, and I could tell he was eating comfortably and being looked after with attention. She also managed his walk times and daily activity in a very structured way. From the updates I received, it was clear that Loki was getting enough playtime, exercise, and rest throughout the day, which really helped him stay balanced and happy. What stood out most was the level of warmth and care she showed. The photos and videos she shared regularly showed Loki playing, interacting, and even making new friends. He looked very comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely happy in her home. In fact, the happiness and peace he was feeling were so clearly reflected in his face that it brought tears to my eyes. It truly felt like she made her home feel like a safe, peaceful space for him. Overall, I felt a strong sense of trust and comfort knowing Loki was with her. She didn’t just follow instructions—she genuinely cared for him, and it reflected in his behavior, his happiness, and his overall well-being. She is extremely reliable, caring, and truly excellent at what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

“Eronda’s heart bleeds for dogs. We had her dog sit our dog for 10 days. He is an anxious dog and returned happier than ever and we enjoyed our vacation knowing he was in the best of hands. Thanks so much Eronda!!”


“My two cavapoos had the best time and Samantha was very responsive with updates to ease my anxiety about leaving them for so long! I would highly recommended trusting her with your fur babies!”

“Megan and her family are delightful. I felt safe leaving nugget with them because since moment one she was charming, transparent and sweet. My best recommendation for the platform is to honestly confess that I will rebook if I ever need a sitter again. Nugget was so visibly happy”

“Very pleased with our experience with Mike and his daughter. They loved our dog like their own. Kept him active and well cared for. Mike was very accommodating and easy to work with as well. 100% reccomend and will be rebooking.”

“Wow, we are soooo happy to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and communicative family to care for our dog! Nelia cared for our dog for 5 nights and gave so many great updates and pictures throughout, took lots of walks, and treated our dog like part of the family. Her home is super secure with a great backyard, and we had peace of mind knowing our dog was having a fun and relaxing stay. It is always hard to leave our girl, but knowing she was in such good hands and getting lots of love made this the best experience. We are so grateful to have a wonderful go-to for our pup!”

“Theresa saved the day for us! Our sitter had to cancel the week before our trip and Theresa was a perfect fit for our 13 year old senior girls. She was so incredibly patient with them and all of their quirks. She took care of eye drops, eye ointment, special diets, poor vision and hearing, cleaning eyes and faces, making pony tails and letting someone hide under the covers when it stormed. Theresa just went above and beyond as far as we are concerned and will be delighted to have the girls stay with her anytime!”

“Victoria was wonderful! We had a meet and greet before our trip it really helped me feel good about being able to leave my dog. Victoria sent videos twice a day it was great. Thank you Victoria!”

“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”

“Mary and family made our pup and us feel so welcome! Our older pup got lots of attention, love and regular walks throughout the weekend as well as the company of sweet Bella. We would have no hesitation asking Mary and family to watch our pup again.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care Addie received from Valerie and her son! Knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands made all the difference while I was away. It was clear she was happy, well cared for, and loved like family. Addie had such a blast during her stay—she went on so many walks and enjoyed endless snow playtime in their fenced-in yard. She even bonded with Valerie’s son, which made it so hard to take her away from the fun little retreat she was on! Even though Addie was very stressed the first day or so being in a new place and away from me, Valerie and her son were incredibly understanding, communicative, and flexible. They took the time to ensure she felt safe and comfortable, and it wasn’t long before Addie QUICKLY warmed up to them and trusted them completely. It was especially kind of them to care for Addie for multiple weeks over the holidays. Their flexibility and willingness to provide such attentive care during a busy time of year meant so much to me, and it truly showed how open and compassionate they are. Valerie was also an incredible communicator throughout Addie’s stay, sending tons of photos and updates that kept me reassured and connected. Seeing Addie’s happy face in every photo made me smile and truly put my mind at ease. The entire experience was seamless, and I truly wouldn’t change a thing. Their communication, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals make them absolutely exceptional. If you’re looking for someone to take the best care of your furry family member, look no further—Valerie and her son are the best!”

“Andrew was so wonderful. Very communicative and pleasant to work with. I knew immediately my dog would be safe and comfortable in his care and he did not disappoint. He has a great space for pets and you can tell he really cares. I will definitely book another stay with him.”

“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”

“Our 15 year old dachshund came home happy and obviously well-cared for. He is a slower moving little guy at this point and easily stressed when away from home so we are very happy to find someone like Maria that makes him feel comfortable. Thank you!”


“They were absolutely amazing. I messed up our travel dates and they kept our Newfie I was so stressed even telling them. He played all day, loved on their child, helped with projects and slept like a rock. If they will have us back, we would use them in heartbeat. Thanks guys! Mack Truck had a great stay. If your baby bear wants a visit, lmk. He would be happy to come give more loves.”

Avalon dog parents share their Rover experiences
We had a wonderful experience with Shanna. We went on a two week trip and were a bit concerned on how our dog would do with us being away for so long. He tends to get a little anxious in unfamiliar places. To our surprise he did SO well while at Shanna’s. She ensured he felt welcomed and loved from day one. Boy, did he settled in quickly! Shanna sent daily photos, videos and updates on how our dog was doing. Seems like he had the time of his life lol Shanna is a wonderful dogsitter. She will be our top choice for any upcoming boarding needs.

We are so grateful for the amazing care Frodo received! From the very beginning, we felt completely at ease. She kept us updated, was attentive to his routines, and truly treated him like part of her family. Frodo looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It means so much to leave your dog somewhere and feel peace instead of worry — and that’s exactly how we felt. Thank you for loving him like we do. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. 🐾💛

Alexa did an amazing job taking care of my dog. She was kind, reliable, and very attentive, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Communication was smooth, and it was clear she genuinely cares about animals. I really appreciated her help and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!
