“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”


“Kent has watched buddy twice now and he’s been great! Buddy can be particular and Kent has took good care of him. He’s always communicative when we check in as well, thank you Kent!”


“We had another great experience with Angel. Ferris got along really well with his dogs so it was nice knowing he had buddies. Angel gave at least daily updates with photos and videos, took Ferris out for regular exercise, and was very flexible with timing and logistics.”


“We are so grateful for Corey and Robert. They were able to help us out in a pinch and went absolutely above and beyond. The fact that we started with a meet and greet was exceptional nd did so much to ensure that we were comfortable with leaving our boy in their care. Highly recommend these wonderful caregivers!”


“Ruben is an absolute HERO. I was struggling to find someone to keep my fur babies (dog & cat) long enough because work kept extending my trip away from home and that’s where a Ruben came in. He worked within my budget, picked up & dropped off my animals while I was already out of town and even left us a little goodie bag. Both Cocoa and Willie came back happy and healthy! Would recommend Ruben 20/10!”


“This was Daisy’s first stay with Joe but it won’t be her last! Joe clearly loves dogs and that gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the photos and videos he shared with us. It was great to see Daisy enjoying herself with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.”


“Mary and her husband were very welcoming to my little guy Tazer. I felt totally comfortable with them and knew they would treat him well and they did. I only felt bad because Tazer was at her home for overnight boarding and he was having a restless night so no one got a good nights sleep. Despite this there were no complaints from Mary. I definitely recommend Mary as a sitter!”


“1000/10, Our 2 pups Parker & Jagger had the absolute best time with Karen. They spent so much time in their amazing yard and she sent the cutest photo updates daily. We are so happy and our pups are, too!!”


“I'm always nervous when we leave Luna with someone new, but Lorraine made it really easy with a meet and greet which made drop off simple. We received lots of pictures to reassure us. Lorraine was super easy to work with for drop off and pickup and was accomodating for Luna's minor issue with stairs. Luna came home very relaxed and tired, I'm guessing from the fun she had at Lorraine's!”


“Tamara is amazing! She picked up Luna for us and even dropped her off before we came back from out of town. Luna had an amazing time playing with Tamara dogs. She has a huge backyard for dogs to play and she loves Luna like she is her own. She even left us some treats for Luna. I recommend Tamara for any services with your fur babies.”


“Alexa was amazing with Ellie! She treated her like her own dog and Ellie had the best time. She reached out daily with updates about Ellie and I felt very secure having her stay with Alexa for the week! I will rebook in the future :)”


“I absolutely love this sitter! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and exhausted. She got sick on this last visit and they were very communicative and followed up after to make sure Rylee was okay. All good things to say!!!!”


“Elizabeth and David were very responsive and communicated throughout our vacation with pictures and updates on activity. Luna had a great time playing with their friendly dog and kids. We will definitely keep them on our list of preferred dog sitters!”


“Ángela was exceptional with Toby! She was flexible with drop off/pick up arrangements and kept us updated with pictures. Toby enjoyed time outdoors as well as pets and cuddles during his stay. We will definitely be reaching back out to Angela for future stays!!!”


“Brian was a phenomenal sitter for our pup Cheesecake who has reactivity challenges. We feel so lucky to have found him and highly recommend him! It was our first long trip since adopting her and we were so nervous and eager to find the best overnight dogsitting option for Cheesecake. Not only was he attentive to her challenges and needs, he made sure that she could thrive and have enrichment opportunities both indoors and outdoors. I appreciate Brian's attention to detail, sending updates with photos and videos, and flexibility to do 2 meet and greet before drop off. I truly cannot say enough good things about Brian and his professionalism in caring for our furry friends.”
