We had a perfect experience leaving our dog and cat with Rie & Masahiro! They were very thoughtful and asked questions to get to know the pets individually. They updated us very frequently with pictures and videos and always kept an open line of communication. We highly recommend this lovely couple! Will definitely be reaching out again for our future trips.

Thank you for taking such good care of our Winnie! You went above and beyond taking our pup on hikes every day and sending daily photos. This was our first time having to leave her, and you put us at ease with the way you took such good care of our girl!

They sent me consistent videos and updates which was really nice. Also I really like their house because it’s designed for dogs with multiple fenced backyard areas. I recommend them to anyone looking for a caring sitter.

This was our Dog's first time staying with a sitter, and we were honestly nervous about using Rover. We had tried other sitters for a fit, but she never connected with them. With our trip coming up, we found Shelly and her family at the very last minute and didn’t even have time for a meet‑and‑greet. What immediately drew us in was that they had young kids even more than having their own dogs because she absolutely loves children. We knew the transition would be hard for her, but Shelly and her family went above and beyond. They sent us daily updates, were incredibly patient, and gave her the space she needed. Over time, she warmed up and even started going on walks with them after 3days of not going on a walk, She quickly transitioned to 4 walks in a day. Shelly was reassuring throughout, reminding us that given her age, this adjustment was completely normal, and that by her third stay she’d likely be even more comfortable. I would recommend Shelly and her family over and over again.

Could not be happier with the service from Chetan! Molly had a great time at the farm - Chetan sent photos and videos multiple times a day during her stay. We felt so comfortable with her with Chetan and would not hesitate to recommend him to all of our friends!! Thank you again for being so great with our girl!!

"We recently had the pleasure of having Mark looked after our beloved dog for a week. Their genuine love for animals and professionalism exceeded our expectations. Our dog immediately felt at ease in their care, and we received regular updates and photos showing the fun adventures they shared together. We returned home to a happy and well-cared-for pup, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive dog sitter."

Fabulous care! I have 2 friendly but energetic dogs, and had never left them with anyone for longer than a day, but needed to go to California for 10 days to support a friend whose husband had passed away. I was nervous about leaving them, but Lina's friendly and professional attitude made me feel confident that the dogs were in good care. She gave me updates, asked questions if needed, and followed my advice (to get one of my dogs to go downstairs). Extremely happy with the care the dogs received, and I highly recommend her as a loving and knowledgeable dogsitter. Thanks, Lina!

Amanda and Bryan are amazing! My boxer is a little timing, needing extra love and care and Amanda and her family were so great with him. They treated him like their own, so much so that he was so sad coming home. I would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to board with them in the future!

I’ve had the good fortune to find Jayna and Lyndon as dog sitters for my dogs, Gordon and Douglas. I met them a few years ago and they have been awesome sitters. They are very accommodating. One of my dogs is a rescue and he is always tentative when I put him in the car. Whenever he sees Jayna and Lyndon, he is happy, wags his tail. He’s always happy to stay with them. Thanks again!

We had such a wonderful experience with Matthew! From the very beginning, communication was clear and professional. Throughout our time away, he sent daily updates along with the sweetest photos of our dog, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was in great hands and getting lots of love and attention. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog—and that says it all! Highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you Matthew!!!

Goofy just spent a longer stay with Svetlana and Artur, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Leaving him for more time than usual had me a bit anxious at first, but they completely put me at ease right from the start. They know all of his little quirks by now and somehow make everything look easy — from keeping up with his picky eating to making sure he feels totally at home. Every update and photo they sent showed a dog who was relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying himself. It felt less like I left him with sitters and more like he was hanging out with family. What really stood out this time is how consistent they are. It’s not luck or a one-off good experience — they’ve shown that they genuinely care about him and give the same level of love and attention whether it’s a weekend or a long stay. When I picked him up, he was in such good spirits that it honestly felt like he’d been on his own little vacation. Finding sitters who treat your dog like their own is rare, and I feel so grateful to have found Svetlana and Artur. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book them again — Goofy and I are both big fans!

We had a wonderful experience! Barbara was so friendly, warm, and welcoming. She even met with us in advance of our booking, which gave us so much peace of mind considering this was our first time using Rover. During the 5 days our dog Franklin was with her, Barb communicated often and sent updates, which we really appreciated. Most importantly, our dog seemed to have a great time! Would definitely recommend and book again.

This was my first time booking with Viktoriya, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! My two young Frenchies had an amazing time — they came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. Viktoriya was incredibly punctual and professional, and I really appreciated the updates she sent while I was away. It made such a difference knowing they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her in the near future!
