“Ru is absolutely one of the best sitters I’ve ever met. She watched Nila for three days and was so patient and really cared and loved her like Nila was her own.

Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter for their pup!”

Kris went above and beyond, and made my trip out of the country much less stressful. She tag-teamed caring for Lila with my daughter. They worked together seamlessly. Would definitely call on Kris again!”

“Deborah & Dick were amazing when we boarded our 4 Shiba Inus for a quick weekend trip in July. They kept us updated daily with many photos and videos of our fur babies.

14. Pam P.
“Toby, my dearest little 8lb. Cheweenie fur baby does wonderfully with Pam and her small fur baby crew! I am so grateful to have Pam and her fur family to care for Toby. He has a blast. Pam always goes above and beyond for Toby. Moreso, Pam is very intuitive and provides for Toby his likes and preferences such as his favorite sunspot, placed bed in front of heater vent, food preferences. Huge she let's him sleep with her at night as that is what he is used to with me. Upon picking Toby up, although he is always happy to see me I can very much see he has bonded with Pam and her sweet pups and cats, making his stay very nice and positive experience. Pam and her fur babies have become like extended family as Auntie Pam and his fur cousins ❤️”
15. Carly S.
“Absolutely thrilled with Carly's pet-sitting service! I found myself in a tight spot and Carly stepped in at the last minute to take care of my dog, Gus. From start to finish, she was phenomenal. Her communication was top-notch, keeping me updated regularly, which really put my mind at ease. Carly's genuine enjoyment in caring for Gus was evident. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. She even accommodated my specific requests during my stay, ensuring everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Carly to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional pet-sitter. Thanks, Carly, for making this experience stress-free!”
16. Renee S.
“As for agreeing with the rest of the reviews, it seems like others share my sentiment. For sure, I highly recommend it, and will go back to Renee when visiting the area!”

19. Ross D.
“10/10, from the meet and greet to the week long stay Ross was truly great. He sent photo updates of my pup which really helped because I missed him a lot since it was my first time away! Ross kept him active and cared for. I’m so thankful for him keeping my peace of mind while I was on my trip. Very flexible on dates and hours too which was an added bonus. Thanks so much Ross, I’m sure Finn will love to see you again in the future!”
20. Molly H.
“We had a great first Rover experience with Molly and her dog Izzi. It was our first time leaving our dog for the weekend and Molly was perfect with our nervous dog, and with communication and sending pics. I know our dog felt much more at ease with the help of having Izzi around. We’ll definitely rebook with Molly & Izzi - highly recommend!”
