1. Eve T.

“Eve was great! She and her family clearly care about the pets they sit. I received photos and updates daily about how Coco was doing and it was obvious she felt welcome and at home. Eve was flexible and accommodating about pick-up and drop-off times and made the entire process a breeze. Will definitely trust her with Coco again. Thanks Eve!”

3. Geoffrey R.

“Geof was wonderful! He sent nice updates and pictures, and you can tell he is a dog-person through and through. We felt so comfortable leaving Cooper with Geof!”


4. Leanne & Michael M.

“We are new to Rover. Our experience with Leanne was excellent. She has a calming personality which is great as my fur baby tends to be anxious. We had a meet and greet prior to booking. Booking was easy and communication was great. We received updates and photos throughout our stay. Definitely would recommend Rover and Leanne.”


5. Zachary O.

“Zachary was amazing and very responsive. My dog seemed to love every moment with him. Zachary provided a lot of photos of both play time and chill time.”


6. Celina B.

“I'm fortunate to have found Celina when I needed a pet sitter for the weekend! It was a pleasure meeting them, as they were kind and understanding when I expressed my concerns about Otto and leaving him in a new environment. I liked that they spend the time to get to know me and my pup before committing. Smokey is also a great pup, he's so sweet and clever and it was great watching him adapt his play with Otto. It's also clear that Celina and Smokey have a great relationship and love each other a bunch. They do great with establishing boundaries and advocating for the pups when it's needed. Celina also sent me photos of Otto's stay, which were all adorable to see! Communication was easy and simple, which I'm very appreciative of. Overall, it was a great experience working with them and I will definitely book again :)”

9. Joann W.

“Joann is a kind, friendly dog whisperer who cares for my silly older yellow Lab like he is her own. My pup adores her just as much as I do. If you want someone to take great care of your pup while you’re out of town, Joann should be at the top of your list!”


10. Katie & Michael S.

“Katie and Mike are fantastic, loving and very communicative dog sitters! They sent photos everyday of our pup playing with their 2 dogs in their big yard, and we’re especially appreciative that they gave our dog 3 different medications everyday and were mindful of her broken claw when playing. We will definitely book with them again soon!”


11. Cherylee & Steven W.

“Cherylee took such great care of my young cat. She had awesome toys for him, kept him entertained and sent me photos and videos. I felt really good about leaving him in her care. I was nervous and worried about leaving him for the first time but all went purrfectly! I will definitely use Cherylee and Steven again!”


12. Molly S.

“Molly was awesome with Hendry. She was super accommodating and very understanding of the weight of leaving your pet with someone. Would recommend to anyone.”


13. Gilbert T.

“I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Gil and his dog, Moon, provided for my 50-pound husky puppy, Guy, this weekend! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. Gil kept me updated throughout the weekend with adorable pictures of the two dogs playing and having a blast together. It was clear that Guy was not only well-cared for but genuinely enjoying himself. Gil’s communication was excellent—he made sure I felt at ease, sending me regular updates that reassured me Guy was having a fantastic time. Moon, his dog, was the perfect companion, and I could see the bond they quickly developed. The playtime, walks, and overall attention Guy received made it clear that Gil is a true dog lover who goes above and beyond to ensure every pup is happy and safe. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter, I highly recommend Gil. He treats your dog like family and makes sure they have an enjoyable, stress-free stay. Guy can’t wait for his next visit!”




14. Jessica v.


“Jessica took such great care of our Lulu! Daily photo updates let us know she was having a great time. And when our travel plans changed, Jessica was able to be flexible with our pickup time. It definitely takes one of the stresses of travel away when I know our girl is being well-loved.”


15. Jean B.

“Jean is an absolutely lovely lady and I felt so comfortable leaving my Lil Emmett with her while I was in Montana. She sent pictures and updated me daily about Emmett. I appreciate her and will definitely book with her in the future. 🐶🐾🌸💕”


16. Maggy H.

“She has a nice clean place with an ideal fenced-in yard with a doggy door. She let my dog settle in and get comfortable. I would love to have her sit Charlie again!”


17. Chris & Whitney I.


“Overall, I was extremely happy with Playa's stay with Christopher! My Playa loved staying with Christopher and Tobi!! Tobi and Playa got along well and played non-stop. Christopher sent me daily updates and pictures, which was great. It was evident that Christopher truly cares about dogs and he was also flexible with pick-up/drop-off times. ”


18. alison k.

“Alison kept our 2.5yo dog for 6 days and we have nothing but great things to say about the experience. She was very accommodating to our schedules, communicative throughout the stay - including daily updates with photos and videos, and had all the right instincts about how to make sure our dog would have a fun and safe time with her dog and other dogs that she watches. We will absolutely be back. Thank you, Alison!”


19. Anely C.

“Anely is amazing! Sadie loves her and so do we — we absolutely recommend her to all pet owners! Anely responds very quickly to every outreach and send plenty of photos to let you know your dog/pet is happy and situated. There wasn’t one minute of Sadie’s overnight stay that I was concerned about. We will definitely use Anely again!”


20. Jaclyn M.

“Jaclyn was an amazing sitter for our dog Luna! We had a nice meet and greet before the sitting, and after their preliminary intro, Luna ran over to Jaclyn to start her stay. Jaclyn sent lots of pictures and updates and was flexible with our pickup time, which was much appreciated given some travel snafus. I could tell Luna had a great time after the visit, she came back super relaxed and happy. Thank you so much for taking great care of Luna while we were away!”
