Rachel was great! It was Harley’s first time staying with a new sitter and he can be unpredictable, but Rachel was reassuring and positive about watching Harley and that helped ease my anxiety! She was communicative, sent pictures and did a great job with giving Harley his meds that he is sometimes fussy about. Very happy to have a new reliable dog sitter to add to my rotation!

I would be giving them more than 5 stars if I could! Zwany was so warm and inviting to us dog parents who had to leave their little one behind for the first time. From our meet & greet to the daily pup-dates and everything in between, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease with the level of care and attention our fur baby would get.

Tyler and his fiancée did a fantastic job taking care of Soka again. They were very communicative throughout the stay and even handled both pick-up and drop-off, which was a huge help. We really appreciate the care they showed and look forward to booking with them again in the future!

Greta is an amazing dog sitter! She provided lots of updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog looked incredibly happy and well cared for throughout the stay. She even gave my dog a bath, which was such a thoughtful offer. Juniper is also absolutely adorable, and it was wonderful that my dog had such a sweet companion to play with. I would highly recommend Greta to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Peyton took great care of my puppy, Luna while I was away for the weekend. She was very reliable and attentive and I could tell Luna was very happy and content to be in her care. She sent lots of photos and updates which I really appreciated, and I’d definitely recommend Peyton to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Jing was amazing! This was my first time leaving my sweet pea, Chianti, with a sitter and I was much more nervous and anxious than her. Jing was super communicative, which I really appreciated!! Lots of photos and videos throughout the days and also she was just responsive in general. My doggo clearly had a lovely time and lived her best life. She loved Jing’s hubby Jeremy as well - this became super obvious when they let me come visit for a meet and greet prior to booking. Their space is clean and well laid out for dogs. The backyard is a nice big, fenced off space that’s great for all the dogs to run around and play or just relax. Will definitely book with Jing again! She was truly very wonderful.

We left our 3 year old overly-energetic lab mix with John for 9 days while we traveled across country. This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog with someone other than doggy day care/friends. We were able to arrange a meet and greet before Amber’s stay so she could meet him as well as his two beautiful/loving dogs. His house is tidy and clean and his backyard exceeded my expectations with a nice high fence and space for the dogs to run out their energy. All my anxiety and nervousness about leaving her were immediately gone after the meet and greet. During her 9 day stay, we received several photos a day and I could tell from her (my dog’s) expression that she was genuinely loved and cared for by John and enjoyed the company of his dogs. We kept in touch regularly and we plan on booking Amber for another stay with him today (we literally just landed). Highly recommend John’s services if you’re in the market for someone to care for your dog!

Elliot and Jo are the best! We felt immediately comfortable at our meet and greet and they took the time to make notes about Maple’s schedule as well as her little quirks and things to look out for that set her off. While we were gone we received daily updates with pictures showing off how much fun she was having at the park. Will definitely book with them again next time we go out of town!

Brooklynn is an excellent sitter! My dog (Monty) can be anxious, especially in a new home. He took to her immediately and seemed perfectly content and comfortable at her home. Brooklynn and her partner treated Monty like part of their family right away, and he got SO much attention and belly rubs (his favorite). She is trustworthy, kind, and communicative, and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

Caroline was a dream overnight sitter. Super flexible with us, a beautiful apartment, and most importantly my little guy came back very happy. 90% of the time my dog is with me so it is a big deal when I leave him with a stranger, but as soon as I met Caroline and her gang I knew he was in good hands. Felt more like leaving him with a trusted friend than a hired sitter. Many thanks and highly recommend.

I am so grateful to have found Laura to take care of Thea. From the very beginning, Laura made sure Thea was comfortable and treated her like her own. This was the first time I’ve ever had someone outside of my family watch Thea, so I feel so lucky to have found someone so great. She provided daily, detailed updates and photos, and went above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have Laura take care of their pup!
