Victoria is AMAZING!☺️ by far the best Rover sitter we have used and we will definitely be booking her again and again! She watched our 2 dachshunds (one is 5 years old and the other is a 10 month old puppy) and she did such an amazing job with both of them. She is super bubbly, personal, and loving to the dogs she takes care of. She took our dogs to the dog park every day and sent us tons of picture updates. I felt very safe, comfortable and informed the entire time she watched them. We also had some last minute drop off and pick up time changes and Victoria was super accommodating and nice about it. 10/10 would recommend her. Thank you Victoria ???

Ryan was just what we were looking for in a dogsitter. He was super flexible, considerate and a pleasure to meet! Ryan’s dog Luna has a great temperament and it was clear she didn’t mind sharing her home with our dog for a weekend. Ryan’s the go-to for any Southie dog owner!

Philip was very responsive to my communications leading up to Chloe's stay and during the stay. He sent multiple updates with photos every day which allowed me to relax while I was away. She got plenty of attention and walks! from him and his son. (Chloe slept in son's bed. 😃). I can recommend Philip to take good care of your dog! Thank you Philip!

We are so glad to have found a petsitter/boarder as attentive, communicative, and caring as Phi! This was only our second time leaving our puppy in someone else’s care (the first time being a close friend), so we were a bit nervous about the prospect. However, we quickly realized that we had nothing to worry about once we met Phi and his sweet dog, Ammy. We especially appreciated Phi’s attention to detail, patience, and eagerness to train. In fact, he noticed that Fitz is still working on not jumping when excited and right away started focusing on the behavior with him when we dropped him off. When we came to pick him up at the end of the weekend, Fitz was noticeably less jumpy. Over the course of the stay, Phi sent regular photo updates that made it clear Fitz was having an absolute blast. He came home a very happy, sleepy pup— We could not recommend Phi more highly!

Sarah is wonderful! She was lovely, responsible, and fabulous with our pup who stayed with her for a whole week, and she was perfect in her communication with me. Our dog can sometimes be a little difficult on leash, and she managed him beautifully. She really helped me feel comfortable while away, in not needing to worry at all about my dog. She was also incredibly flexible as it was better for me to drop him off a day earlier than initially planned. I fully and completely recommend Sarah (though I don't really want to because I know she'll become hard to book!).

Lydia was a fantastic host for our mini Dachshund, Beans. She kept us updated with a lot of pics regularly and made sure Beans went on regular walks and was comfortable. Lydia’s dog, Henry is very friendly and even let Beans play with his toys. He’s a very well trained and good dog. I would recommend Lydia highly!!

Frederica and her partner took such good care of my dog! It had rained and the residual water in my dogs coat made him itchy- they let me know and gave him a bath with sensitive dog shampoo and he was good as new before he got home to me!

Kelsey + Ian were the best sitters we could have asked for! In fact, we’re concerned our dog Arthur might like them more than us!! They were wonderful communicators, sent us lots of photos, and took Arthur on tons of fun walks/adventures. We are so grateful to them for treating him so well, and it really allowed us to take a worry-free trip!

Donna was amazing with our sweet girl! This was our 10 year old boxer’s first stay with Donna and we will definitely be booking with her again. We received daily pictures and videos, along with updates that made us feel at ease while away on vacation. When we picked up our baby, she was completely worn out from a weekend full of fun! She already can’t wait for her next stay with Donna!

Jester had an amazing time boarding with Christie, Daniel and Baobao. They were great care takers, and we would recommend them 100%. Jester is an active pup, so we were quite impressed that they were able to keep him occupied! We got many pictures throughout Jester's stay. We are definitely planning on having them watch Jester again!

Millie is great! She’s super communicative and was flexible when I reached out to change our plans one day before. We appreciated the text updates and pics, but were especially grateful that she took great care of Miso. Miso is sometimes a little slow to warm up to a new space, but she had a great day with Millie!

Matias was super responsive and took her on many walks. I think she enjoyed her time there, and when I picked her up, she was clearly comfortable in his home and with him. Matias was very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I appreciated that he offered to have a meet and greet before her stay.
