Rachel took care of Theo for two consecutive weekends when I needed a sitter. She was responsive and pick up/drop off was very easy. Her neighborhood seems good for dogs, with a park very close by. Thank you Rachel!

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!

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!

John was excellent! He watched my 1 year old American Bulldog for 5 nights, I was very nervous dropping him off becauae it was my first time boarding my baby. John eased my mind and sent me pictures of my boy having a blast. Rocco came home happy & healthy and we will defiantly be usung John again!

Leah was absolutely incredible, and I couldn't have asked for a better first boarding experience for my puppy, Luna. As a first-time puppy parent being away for several days, I was naturally a little nervous, but Leah went above and beyond to make sure Luna felt comfortable, safe, and happy every step of the way. Leah was incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to Luna's needs. Not only did she take her on neighborhood walks, but she also arranged fun outings where Luna got to socialize with other people and dogs, which she absolutely loved. Leah sent multiple updates and photos every day, so I always knew how Luna was doing, and her communication was consistently prompt and reassuring. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Luna was in such wonderful hands. I would book with Leah again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their pet like their own.

Isabella was extremely responsive and communicative! She took on a tall task of watching after not only my dog, Muzzy, but 3 other dogs simultaneously, all while also taking care of her baby. Isabella kept us updated with videos throughout the day. I would definitely ask Isabella to care for Muzzy again in the future.

Haowen and his girlfriend were wonderful Rovers! I found Haowen after my previously-booked Rover cancelled last minute. Because of the last minute booking, I was very nervous, but Haowen was very attentive and asked a lot of questions up front to understand my dog’s needs and how best to accommodate her. During her stay, I received multiple pictures per day showing her having a wonderful time with Haowen.

Fernanda was a godsend for us! We adopted a puppy shortly before our wedding, and Fernanda was happy to take our 2 month old little monster, Lucy. We got frequent photo/video updates, so we knew that Lucy was getting the love (and structure!) she needed. I honestly think Lucy behaved better for Fernanda than she does at home! We will absolutely use her again in the future!

Jo and Adam took such good care of our pup Frankie. This was the longest he has ever been away from us- a whole week- but he came back so happy and tired, true signs of a good time. Jo and Adam sent photos daily which helped us a lot and it was fun and comforting to see Frankie with their dog Napo and little baby too as well as seeing him laying down next to Jo and Adam on the couch! It is such a relief to find such caring, competent, professional, and caring sitters that we can use when we need care for our pup. Thanks so much Jo and Adam!!

Xiaoyuan and William were the best. I was out on a business trip and they were able to board my Shiba Inu Bolt. Because they had another Sheebs in the house, they were already aware of the quirks of owning the breed but sure it would have been translatable to other breeds. They were very communicative and provided a lot of updates throughout. I highly recommend them.

Maria and McAben took very great care of my Gracie girl! For starters, they were incredibly responsive and timely during pick up and drop off and throughout the stay. They kept me updated with multiple messages and pictures of Gracie to check in. They adhered to the instructions on Gracie’s schedule, allowing her to me comfortable and have normalcy. She went on plenty of walks and got loved on, and I will definitely re book with them.

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!
