1. Maria C.

“Maria was so great! This was my pup’s (Wednesday) first time staying anywhere without me and I was quite nervous about leaving her with a stranger. Maria set up a meet-and-greet and I got to see her beautiful home + backyard, and intro Wednesday to her pup (+the other dogs she was caring for). It’s clear that Maria has put a lot of effort into having a good space to host dogs and this had me feeling a lot more comfortable leaving my pup with her for the weekend. Maria sent lots of photos while I was away. It was clear that Wednesday enjoyed her stay 😁”


2. Lolita T.

“Absolutely amazing sitter, really took care of our dog and went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable. Even though he had a few accidents, she was very graceful and worked quickly to solve any problems. Easy to communicate with and very responsive, which we loved. Will absolutely rebook again. Recommend you do too, just not when we want her!”


3. Ashma B.

“Ashma was absolutely amazing; Hunter and Mezzie loved her! She was aLeo great about giving updates and adorable pictures/videos. I never had to worry about them, and I definitely plan on having them stay with her in the future. Overall, I would highly recommend Ashma!”

“Laura has watched Luna a handful of times. Luna loves to stay with her and comes home so happy. Laura is communicative and great to work with.”


6. Taji & Greg C.

“We highly recommend leaving your pup with Taji & Greg! They were accommodating to all of Mia’s quirks, ensured she was full of play time, and had all her basic needs met. We also got regular updates each day which helped so much for our anxious minds. We could really see Mia was comfortable and having a great time. We picked her up happy, healthy, and tired - couldn’t ask for more! Would definitely book again.”


7. Karen L.
About: My family has a dog that I grew up with and it makes me have this unbreakable bond with dogs. I love to make them happy and care for them! I work from home and with a flexible schedule so I’d love to dog sit and dog walking as well to fill in the free time. I take them out for walks and relax with them while watching tv. I also play with them and give them treats while training them!


8. Renee & Christopher L.

“We are deeply grateful to Renee and Chris for taking such excellent care of our dog. They were attentive, reliable, and communicative, keeping us well-informed with regular pictures and videos.”


9. Kevin & Kayla K.

“We were very glad that we’ve found Kevin and Kayla. They were responsive and thoughtful. Both Mr. Cat and Pancake adjusted well and enjoyed their stay!”


10. Niriha & Siddharth K.

“Niriha was wonderful when we stayed in San Francisco on a long road trip and wanted a couple of days to explore human-only spaces. I was very nervous, having never used this service before, but Niriha was good with our dog right away, and the pup (and I) were immediately comfortable. Niriha sent us regular photo updates (of awesome quality, by the way!) that let us know our dog was being loved on and tended to well.”


11. Maggie & Matthew & Winnie & Edmond Y.


“Our dog was in great hands with Maggie and her family. He unfortunately was not an easy client and took a fair bit of time getting used to the other dogs and Maggie kept me posted with videos and text and even jumped on a call. Thanks to her flexibility and communication, he was able to get comfortable and have a good night at their home.”


12. Betty & Chase L.
“Betty and Chase were awesome with Marley! They shared daily photos and he was surely enjoying himself. I think I even saw a big smile. Bonus - he made a new fur friend :) Thanks again for taking such great care of our fur baby!”


13. Jon S.

“My dog was recovering from a medical procedure and needed medications and special attention. Jon’s experience was such a relief. I was able to go to work and not worry. Now that my dog has recovered, we often go back to “Uncle Jon.” Her little tail wags like crazy before we even get inside.”


14. Christine & Mark C.

“Both Christine and Mark welcomed Roscoe and were calm while he did his barks-a-lot greeting. They had a yard and snuggled with him for TV time. They found him sweet and he found them sweet too! Thank you both.”


15. Jaden L.
“Jaden is truly amazing!! He’s the best doggy sitter we’ve ever had on rover. He took care of Toshi like his own and kept us updated with many videos and pictures. I highly recommend him to anyone!”


16. Kennia R.

“Right off the bat when we first met Kennia we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with communicating via text message to make Dante’s sleepover relaxed and happy.”


17. Irina Z.

“Our diabetic cat Joki feels so welcome when he stays with Irina! She has gone out of her way to take care of him and make sure he's comfortable, even going to the store to get him some a wheat grass plant to munch on! We will definitely have Irina watch Joki again in the future!”


18. George & Ludmila A.

“George and ludmula were Amazing! Seemed like they knew how to handle pups based on experience. This really helped with my 1.5 yr old pup. I would recommend them!”


19. Alina U.

“Alina was so kind and communicative! This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, other than friends and family, and she took great care of him. Howl came home happy and tired from a fun weekend.”


20. Martin Grimes & Robert A.

“Martin and Robert are the best! They took such a wonderful care of our puppy Yoda, sent us so many updates, photos & videos throughout the days. Our mind was put at ease knowing Yoda was in such caring hands. He returned home so happy and relaxed and you could tell he had really enjoyed his time with Martin and Robert. We are definitely planning to book them again. Thank you, Robert & Martin!”
