“Wow, Murray and Patricia looked after my little darling like she was one of their own. I got daily pictures and updates, and my pup looked completely at ease. This is the first time I've used them, but I will DEFINITELY use them again if the need arises. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone needing a loving home for their pet while they're away. Thank you Murray and Patricia!”
“Mia absolutely loved staying with Joanne. She came home happy and exhausted. Joanne was super responsive when we reached out and provided updates and photos for us during our trip.”
“Jeremy and Tina were awesome with our senior dog! They sent photos and videos and reassured us that our fur baby was in great hands! I knew he was taken care of and loved as if he was their own! I definitely recommend Jeremy and his wife to anyone looking for a loving home for their dog sitting needs!”
“I recently went on vacation and, although I was initially hesitant to leave my pets with a stranger, I decided to give Pamela a try based on her reviews. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Pamela, along with her helpers, provided exceptional care for my pets over the weekend. Despite not knowing her personally, Pamela proved to be a great pet parent. Her dedication and love for animals were evident from the moment we met. My pets were well taken care of and seemed very happy and comfortable when I returned. Pamela will definitely be my first choice for pet care any time I need to be away. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!”
“This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter, and the whole process was honestly so easy and stress free. Vanessa was incredibly accommodating on very short notice and even took the time to meet up beforehand so my dog could meet her family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. She was amazing with communication from start to finish and was so loving and caring with Joey. I got lots of updates and pictures while I was away, which I really appreciated. Vanessa is a fantastic dog caregiver and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pup.”
“Lis watched our yorkie Luna overnight last weekend. It was the first time we have left her anywhere other than the vet or groomers. From the first time we met her at our meet & greet, Lis made us feel welcome & comfortable. She answered all our questions and was very flexible about drop-off & pick-up times. Lis sent us pictures and texts to let us know how Luna was doing while we were away which we really appreciated. Because we knew Luna was well cared for we were able to relax & enjoy ourselves. Luna seems no worse for the experience & we would highly recommend Lis as a sitter.”
“Would book with Marilyn anytime our dog lady was very well cared for. We received updates and pictures. She was spoiled with walks and love. Feel very lucky to have found someone who cared for our dog like we would.”
“Was so happy to find her on here , she was a wonderful caring woman who treated our baby like her own . Was provided lots of daily photos and updates . Would recommend her !”
“Our 13 years old Miniature Schnauzer stayed with Heather for 6 nights. The communication was excellent, we received numerous great pictures of our pup for the full duration of the stay. Our dog requires constant medication and a sensitive diet and she was great for all of it, we would highly recommend boarding with Heather. We booked another date on the same day we picked him up.”
“Brittany, thank you so much for taking such fantastic care of our pups. We were really nervous to leave them with someone we didn't know and you made the experience so much easier! Can't thank you enough!”
“Shona is absolutely amazing with my extremely energetic lab. He comes home from her house happy and exhausted and wondering where she is, so I know he has an absolute blast there. Thank you for your patience and everything else Shona!!”
“Stacey and her family were amazing! We felt so at ease leaving Sputten with them for the week. What we loved most was the daily updates and photos. They brought so much joy and comfort as we watched him playing with other dogs and cuddling up. Knowing he was happy and safe allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We were super impressed with Stacey’s ability to replace Sputten’s eye drops when the container got damaged and thought she went above and beyond washing his bed upon our return. We will definitely be booking with Stacey again in the future!”
“Michelle was wonderful when she watched our Dachshund Charlie! Very flexible with times to drop and pick up, and she kept us updated with how he was doing! We’d absolutely have Michelle watch Charlie again!”
“Michelle and her family were so lovely with our dog and so kind at every interaction. We knew Bo was well cared for while at their home and we were lucky to find them.”
“Holli was so wonderful with my 10-year-old rescue dog Cubby! We had a lovely meet and greet, and I booked for one overnight before I will be away for a week as my pup is older and a bit sensitive. Will be booking with her again asap! She has an amazing fenced in yard, sent great updates, and administered my dog's meds. Was looking for a boarder who would be home a lot and had calm, caring energy - and Holli was the perfect fit. Cubby was happy as a clam when I picked her up :)”
“Always easy to book with and truly cares about providing comfort for our dog and us. Provides updates regularly. Pretty sure Mojo misses all the attention when we take her home.”
“Katrina, Ryan, and Rocky made leaving Artemis for a week a breeze! Even as an only dog at home, it was nice to have another one to show him the ropes. I appreciated the pictures and updates. He was happy to see me at pick up but also wanted both of us to stay! I'd happily board him with them again”
“Thank you Ana :) we really appreciate you watching, taking care of, walking, and making sure luna feels comfortable. I got frequent photos and videos throughout and was able to book and confirm within minutes. ❤️”
“We have brought our dog to Tracy and Christopher many times and they treat her like their own! Would 10/10 recommend bringing your pets to this lovely family!”

If you are looking for a pet sitter who will love your dog as much as you do, look no further than Marilyn! She cared for my dog, Millie, while I was away on vacation and treated her like her absolute own. Thanks to her excellent care and wonderful communication, I had total peace of mind the entire trip. Millie was so happy and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Five stars!
Robyn responded almost instantly to my last minute request for boarding, 2 days before my trip. We did a quick meet and greet the day before and then off she went! Robyn and her family have tons of dog experience and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog there. This was our first time using Rover, so of course there is always doubts, but we are happy we chose this vs a typical kennel. We were provided with daily updates/photos throughout our trip which was nice to see. She got lots of exercise and seemed to settle in. We would definitely recommend Rover and Robyn to any dog parent looking for a loving home and peace of mind.
Brad and his family were so fantastic with our dog, Albie. Albie can be anxious and a bit high stress but Brad was so patient and kind with him. We received lots of updates and photos and Albie got so many walks. Brad was also very communicative and flexible with drop-off/pick-up times. Your pup will be well loved and well cared for with Brad, we will definitely reach out to him again!
This was my first time ever booking a dog sitter through Rover, and the whole process was incredibly easy. Clarsia & Devon were so accommodating, especially on such short notice. They took the time to meet with us beforehand so Cormick could meet the family and make sure it was a good fit for everyone. The communication was excellent, I received plenty of updates and photos while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would absolutely recommend this family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.
Debbie and Craig were absolutely amazing! Our dog, Poppy, settled in so nicely with them, and we really appreciated all the updates and photos while we were away. We could really tell her and Craig treated Poppy as if she was their own! She was so spoiled with multiple walks per day and lots of snuggles! We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
This was our first time booking with kirsty to look after our little man. We was a little nervous leaving him, as he is getting older and less active. But kirsty made the nerves disappear. We had a meet and greet where bruce met kirstys lovely doggies and some others who were in boarding at the time. The was very reassuring and hearing how much love kirsty has for all the dogs just made it confirm that this was the perfect place for bruce. Whilst we was away kirsty kept us upto date with lots of photos and comments on what bruce had been upto. This made us so happy and it was lovely to see how settled bruce had become. We would 100% use kirsty again and would 100% recommend. Bruce certainly had a great time as he slept the whole day and night when he was home to recharge his batteries!! Thank you again kirsty!
Adrianna and her partner were AMAZING pet sitters! They helped me out immensely by taking my very last minute daycare and boarding requests. Dax was well taken care of and absolutely had a blast. She looked like she felt right at home! I cannot recommend them enough. Book with Adrianna!
Luna had a wonderful time and Im half convinced she would have liked to stay when we picked her up! She really liked having a playmate for her boarding. I appreciated the updates and the pictures we received to let us know she was enjoying her stay. We would definitely board with Natasha (and family and Dexter!) again.
