“Vadzim was incredibly responsive with updates and photos of our pups. We felt very comfortable with them in his care. He let them get cozy on the couch and bed like they do at home and took them on walks! Highly recommend! Will be using Vadzim any time we need a dog sitter 🙂”


“It was a true pleasure to have Mana & Kento care for my sweet 11 year old dog, Mana gave me helpful updates and was on top of her needs with medication and needing slower walks. I only needed one night but would feel completely comfortable to have my dog here for longer stretches in the future.”

“Megan was great with my senior dog and so flexible with our chaotic schedules. She has two sweet dogs who got along great with mine and I knew Whiskey Pete was in great hands!”

“Anna did a great job of taking care of our dog Charlie! She was nice enough to meet us ahead of time so he could get to know her, definitely spoiled him with lots of walks and kept us in the loop the whole time. The few problems that came up she handled like a pro. Thanks again Anna!”

“Although my 6-year-old miniature dachshund, Piper, has stayed with friends/family before, this was my first time using a professional service like Rover and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Maria was exceptionally responsive and flexible with timing. She sent plenty of photos/videos/updates during our short weekend trip that truly set our minds at ease. Piper has cerebellar hypoplasia (the wobbly disease) and has trouble with fine motor skills. Maria had no issue altering her care to suit Piper's limitations. She even took Piper out to a cafe in a stroller for enrichment since she physically can't walk far on her own! Considering my partner has experience petsitting for over two decades and I worry (perhaps too much) about the care my dog will receive while I'm away, we were both impressed with Maria and would gladly hire her again to take care of Piper.”

“Cheryl is awesome! She loves pups. Took our 2 pups on lots of walks and sent many pics / updates about the dogs days. When we got back the pups were already exhausted.”

“I always appreciate booking with Adam! He always makes time for my girl and she comes home so happy! When I ask her about her day with Adam she wags her tail with joy!”

“Luke stayed with Kristen for the second time and quickly felt at home. She treated him like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Kristen again for future trips :)”

“Lucy loved her time with Casey and Ron. She got tons of love and activity and came back home super happy. Now she pulls towards their house when we go for walks. 10/10 would use again.”

“Catherine took wonderful care of Enzo! Very communicative and thoughtful. We weren’t sure he would want to come home after the pampering and attention she game him. We will definitely book again.”

“Adam was absolutely wonderful! We had a last-minute booking and he was able to accommodate us on short notice, which was already such a huge help. But what really stood out was the exceptional care and attention he gave our dog throughout the entire stay. Adam went above and beyond to make sure Bear was comfortable, well cared for, and happy. He was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, and we could tell that he genuinely cared about making our dog feel safe and at ease. Highly recommend Adam to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and truly exceptional!”

“10/10! Ruslana took great care of my dachshund, Penny! Loved the pics she sent and Penny seemed very very happy when I picked her up! Highly recommend!”

“Overall great experience having Seth and his family host and take care of our pup! Our dog had a warm welcome full of playing which made for a smooth drop-off. Our dogs seemed to connect right away. Communication has been great with Seth- we heard stories and saw some pictures to ensure it was a fun stay. We plan to rebook with Seth again in the future!”

“Egor was very patient with Abby as Abby got used to him being there, and that paid off, Abby seemed to have a good time with him. Egor also took great care of the house and chickens and was very easy to communicate with. Happy to have home back”

“Matt is great with our dogs Rosie and Isabella. Matt sends daily pictures and frequent videos and we can see our dogs enjoy being a part of the pack with Larry, Matt's dog. We will certainly hire Matt again to watch our dogs - it's a relief to have found a place for them that's a good fit for all involved.”

“Dennis was so kind with Mochi and helpful with lots of photos and even took him to exercise which we really appreciated. He was prompt and communicative and followed our feed instructions which we really appreciated. Thank you so much!”

“Sylvia was an absolutely incredible sitter. She took SUCH good care of our dog, Cosmo, while we were out of town. She took Cosmo to the dog park and provided lots of updates and photos. Her dog, Laika, is a total sweetheart. We can’t recommend Sylvia enough!”

Eric was fantastic taking care of our ACD. He was very communicative and I appreciated the regular updates and photos throughout Kelsey’s stay. He took great care to ensure she didn’t overdo it and injure her arthritic hips, and managed her high energy, strong willed personality. Eric was also flexible with extending care for Kelsey as our return flight was delayed. I would absolutely book Eric again!

Definitely recommend Lily!! She’s a great communicator and super accommodating. My schedule changed last minute and I was a bit all over the place, but Lily was so understanding and helpful! My dog is a pretty nervous guy, but she made sure he was comfortable and felt right at home :)
