“Andrea and her family took such wonderful care of my 17-year-old senior dog, Kali, during my work trip. Kali has very few teeth, limited mobility, and mostly just wants to be around people who will love her and Andrea gave her just that. They kept her cool and comfortable, took her on gentle little walks, and made sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates it really gave me peace of mind knowing Kali was in such loving hands. This was my first time using them, and I felt so confident and reassured throughout. Highly recommend for anyone with a senior dog or a pet who just needs a little extra love and attention!”
“Ryan and Marty were amazing, they kept a very good communication and sent us lots update with pictures and video. Ash loved staying with them. They made us feel relaxed during our time away from Ash.”
“Maye and Frank truly made this experience so amazing. This was my first time living my dog with anyone besides family. I was blown away how comfortable my dog was the first time he meet them. The communication and pictures from Maye and Frank was above anything I was expecting and made our trip so enjoyable knowing our boy was in such good care. The would let us know what he did through out the day. Any dog parent that has any fears of leaving there for baby needs to not worry and just book with them. Can’t wait to see you guys again and have Bernie visit real soon. Thank you again Maye and Frank.”
“Sandra truly loves dogs. She is a very capable dog sitter; administering meds to our senior dog and giving her lots of her time to feel comfortable and welcome. We received lots of great photos during our dogs 3 day stay and Sandra was very accommodating for the pickup and drop off times.”
“Benji stayed with Tracy, Hyphen and Pickle for 8 days. He had not been in close quarters with other dogs for ~5 years since our 2nd dog passed, so I was a bit apprehensive. But, I was reassured after looking at her reviews and a meet and greet, and felt that it would be great for Benji (who is normally a bit shy) to have the social opportunity. Tracy regularly sent photos and posters and ensured that Benji had a variety of play time activities, regular walks, naps, and cuddles. We are very happy with the care Benji had at Tracy's and have already requested another stay with her. Highly recommend!!”
“Coco and Hiaqian always go above and beyond with the care of our dogs. We always get daily updates and photos, and you can tell that they really love dogs. We feel that our dogs are always in great hands when staying with them. Thank you again!”
“Hector and Jeanette were absolutely awesome taking care of our dog Ramona, for 8 days. She has a hard time eing away from us but they made her stay fantastic, with lots of love, attention and constant updates!!”
“Thanks so much to Joanne, Glen and their daughter for taking such great care of Saint! I felt at ease knowing my fur baby was in good hands. Lucky to have found them and would recommend to anyone.”
“It was my first time leaving my dog Irie with a sitter through Rover. Our dog, Irie has stayed with a friend's older dog and cat before whenever we went out of town so I knew she's the submissive type and she knows she's a guest so she matches the resident animals' demeanour. Sara sent me photo and video updates and I could see how much fun Irie was having with Iris and the other dog under her care. Also, I think because Irie was with dogs closer to her age, she was more playful and I love that she was able to exert that energy. Many thanks again to Sara for taking care of Irie during our vacation. We'll definitely book again for boarding and doggy daycare when there's a need.”
“Ashleigh took great care of our dog Asha. She offered a meet and greet prior to the boarding, provided updates and photos, and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely reach out again for future needs!”
“Mandy and Jacky are the best. They took very good care of my boy, provided regular feedback and treated him as their own family member. I would again go back to them. Very professional and gentle souls : )”
“Stacie is an amazing and truly responsible sitter! I boarded my cat, little grey with her for about three weeks. At first I was a bit worried, and he adapted so well under her care — eating, sleeping, and relaxing like he was at home. Stacie sent me daily updates with videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling overseas. I could really tell she cared about him and paid attention to his needs. I’m very happy with the whole experience and would highly recommend Stacie to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. I will definitely book with her again the next time I travel!”
“Heng-Chi was great Mocha loved her and her family! She was great at communicating (before and during the stay) and I received pictures on a daily basis which put me at ease during my trip away from Mocha.”
“This was our third time with Anita and our dog loved it once again. We were away for almost a month and Katara felt and seemed very well taken care of. We will absolutely use Anita's services again.”
“Ashley & Kevin were both amazing!! They did a great job taking care of Mocha and I am super grateful. They also have a cute poodle where Mocha doesn’t feel too lonely ?Highly recommend these wonderful dog sitters!”
“Maple and Otter had a great time. Connie gave me lots of updates and it sounds like they were comfortable with her family from the very start. Her dog Alpha was a great playmate and welcomed them graciously. I will definitely book with Connie again.”
“Angela was so attentive and thoughtful about caring for Ollie and we feel lucky to have found her and her family for future care. It’s always a bit nerve-wrecking to leave your dog with new people. Angela made the process feel seamlessly easy.”
“It’s always hard to leave your doggies behind when going on a trip. I appreciate the service and the drop off and pick up add-on made it very convenient for me… Happy to reunite with them. And thank you zhikun and family for taking care of them. :-)”
“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”
“Brittaney and Tommy were wonderful with my dog! They were attentive, caring, and kept me updated with photos. They really helped my dog become more comfortable leading up to her longer stay!”

Sara was fantastic! She always sends us updates of our dog a couple of times a day, sending us videos that we look forward to watching every single time. She dog-sat for us for 12 days while we were out of the country and every time she sends us a video, we can see our dog was happy and comfortable. She sends us videos when he plays with other dogs, when she gives him food and their night time walks. Our dog is on a special diet because of tummy issues and Sara had no problems feeding him. She has a really high rating for a reason. She really went above and beyond. We can tell that she really loves dogs! It felt like our dog was on vacation too.
Coco looked after our pup George for a night and it all went well. Coco was very flexible and easy to communicate with, and sent various photos during the night. George seemed to settle in quickly, and even though he was only there for one night he seemed very happy when we picked him up. We'll be sure to use Coco again if we need a dog sitter.
If I could only give more than 5 stars, I would do so. Jingjing is a superb sitter! She always gives you an update about what’s happening with your pet for you not to worry. She’s very flexible and highly accommodating. She’s also very knowledgeable about taking care of pets. I would definitely leave Sasha to Jingjing’s care if I ever need a sitter again. :)
Viktor took good care of Custer for 3 weeks. Custer is not a very easy dog to care because he barks a lot, but he is very patient and has managed to become friends with him after three weeks. I really appreciate his time and commitment and don’t hesitate to recommend him.
Pi Yun was so attentive and was so amazing to our corgi Kronk! She updated us every day and sent us photos and videos of how Kronk was doing, which put my wife and I at ease that Kronk was doing well during our trip. He was so happy when we got back and it definitely looked like he had a lot of fun. Thank you again Pi Yun!
Thank you so much Mandy and Jacky. You guys made his day. He returned so happy and tired. Thank you for taking care of him so well, especially wiping his paws and belly, which is so helpful for him to stay clean. I loved the days summary ❤️. All the pictures throughout the day were awesome. He loves his new treat. It was a wonderful day out for him. He will be back soon.
Moishe visited Hector and Jeanette for 5 nights on his first visit. We got photos everyday of walks and playtime indoor which was very nice. He was definately sad to leave when we collected him. Would recommend their services and will use again. Thank you for taking care of king Moishe a
