“Our experience and care with Vidhi was wonderful from start to finish. We were leaving for vacation and our original sitter plans fell through less than a week before leaving. Thankfully, Vidhi was available and promptly responded to the request. She was so accommodating to our schedule and a few changes that popped up. Furthermore, she made sure to make Mira feel comfortable and at ease in her home. Frequent walks, play time, and lots of pictures made us feel comfortable while we were away! Will definitely keep Vidhi in mind for future sitter needs.”

“We have asked them to watch our pups for the past few years now and they are absolutely wonderful sitters. Sebastian and his wife really spoil and give our dogs the attention and care they deserve all while keeping us updated on their stay. As a family of 5 with 3 small children, I think our dogs really enjoy the break they get when staying with Sebastian 😅. They are our go to sitters and we can’t thank them enough for all the love and attention they give our pups!”
“Eronda was kind and personable. She clearly LOVES dogs and took good care of our mini goldendoodle. She even made her chicken and rice to eat when our pup got too anxious to eat her kibble. She took photos and updated us on our girl. She sent our girl home freshly bathed. I’d recommend her!”
“Winston had a great time at Chang’s home! She was very communicative throughout his stay, sending regular updates and photos. Winston was ready for rest after a long weekend of play at Chang’s. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”

Central Northside dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kristen did great with Pax! I was a little nervous how he’d do downtown, but Kristen assured me she wasn’t phased by an adjustment day or two as Pax got used to some new noises. He came back to us tired and happy!
Thank you, Laura! We know our dog isn't the easiest, and you did so well. Thank you for taking care of him and giving him love.
Christine was honestly so amazing. From the beginning she was soo helpful! I have never booked through here before or knew how this whole process went, and Christine made this process just so easy. I was so skeptical leaving my old lady while I went out of town due to her having anxiety issues from her shelter stay before I adopted her. But Christine made this a perfect stay for her! I got daily photos and updates and my Bella Bean even made a friend!!! (Christine’s kitten). This was just a lovely experience! And since my Bella Bean is so comfortable with Christine now, I will absolutely be booking again!! Thank you so much Christine!! 💗💗
Vidhi was absolutely amazing! From the moment we booked, her communication was top notch. She was always prompt, clear, and thoughtful. She sent regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog had a blast with her, her partner and dog… going on plenty of walks and getting lots of love and attention. The pickup and drop off process was seamless and stress free. You can truly tell she cares deeply about the dogs she watches. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Vidhi and will definitely be booking with her again!
Diana (and Ben!) were terrific. Very communicative -- sharing photos and notes. Stella has some tendonitis and they were very sweet with her (Nico, too!).
Amber was great with my dog while I was away! She took him for walks every day, she hung out with him, and everything! She did such an excellent job that I don’t think he even cared that I was gone! She provided the best care, definitely recommend booking her!
Tiffany took excellent care of our dog, Callie. She was extremely kind and reliable, responsive, and sent us daily updates and photos so we knew Callie was having a great time. Would definitely rebook her any time!
Amy was very kind, and took wonderful care of our pup. She sent photos of their walks around the city and kept a good eye on a paw that seemed to be bothering our pup. We would gladly hire Amy again!!
Brittany is such an incredible haven for our dog while we’re out of town! She is incredibly in tune with animals’ needs, asking questions about potential quirks and triggers which make us feel confident he is in expert hands. We always know our buddy is safe and loved with her.
Jenna was great with Norton. He loved the air conditioning and the couch, and enjoyed all the attention. It was great finding a great sitter so close to home.
Great job, plan on using again in the future. Not many understand mastiff behavior. Even had her out socializing continuing her adjustment after we rescued her. Have been working with mastiffs since the 90s and I plan on using again highest praise I got.
Tia and her family always make sure my pup is cared for and has as many belly rubs as he demands (which is a lot)
Nicholas was a perfect dog sitter for my dog. He communicated well, sent pictures, and my dog came back home happy to have made a new friend! I’d recommend Nicholas and will be booking with him again!
Kaiya took great care of Ginger. She sent regular updates and Ginger met new friends during her stay.
Aeryana was very communicative throughout the weekend she had my 2 dogs. I appreciated the updates and photos! She was also understanding when they got into some food they shouldn’t have, and also when they had some stress behaviors. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your pups!
Madeline was so wonderful and took care of Sunny as her own. She sent frequent updates and photos. We couldn't be happier !
Lucy was incredible while our dog stayed for a week boarding with her - she goes above and beyond with walks, hikes, and even does some training. Knowing our dog is in good hands makes our travels so much more relaxed and enjoyable! Thanks Lucy!
We have been repeated customers of Andrea’s and have always been very happy with our experiences, from communication to dog-sitting. Our dog Dexter is always bursting with excitement to arrive to Andrea’s, and is tired from playing when he returns home. We’ll certainly be booking with Andrea again!
