“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”


“My very first time utilizing Rover service providers. I’m so thrilled and pleased with the care that Christine provided. Our initial meet & great definitely eased my anxiety and Marlee took to her right away. Christine provided updates and photos during Marlee’s stay. I could see from the pics that Marlee was enjoying her time and blended well with the other dogs present. Definitely plan to board w/ Christine again. Thanks for taking good care of my fur baby and easing her separation anxiety.”


“Lauren is a great sitter. She will love your dog as she loves her own pets and is welcoming to both you and your dog. She is attentive and will ease any concern you have about leaving your pet. My dog clearly felt at home with her.”

“I am so grateful to have met a WONDERFUL dog sitter. After my dog’s meet and greet with V, I knew she was the sitter for me. I left my dog with V for four days and I felt so much peace. She is so kind and caring. She sent me daily pics and updates, which calmed my nerves. I will definitely be using her again for doggy daycare and short vacations.”

“Amazing sitters! Jodee and AJ are super easy and lovely, lovely yard for my dog to play in which he doesn’t have at home. Sent pictures everyday with updates. At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!”


“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”

Kerry gave Winnie meds, eye drops, carried Winnie up and down her stairs (not an easy feat, Winnie weighs 45lbs!), and gave her so much love and affection. She sent us photos and detailed updates several times a day. We will be planning all of our vacations around when Kerry is available from now on so we know Winnie will be in good hands when we’re out of town!”
