“Alix was absolutely amazing and I am so thankful I chose her to watch Clark for the weekend! She was so flexible and responsive. I booked her very last minute but she had no problem taking Clark in and watching him! She sent amazing updates throughout the weekend so I always knew how Clark was doing. She went above and beyond for Clark and when I picked him up he was the happiest pup ever! Will definitely be booking with Alix again!!!”


“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”


“Anna is incredible. She took spectacular care of my 50 lb dog bay leaf. Long walks, plenty of play time, and frequent updates with cute pictures. Bay leaf came back so happy --she had a great time.”


“Yick was communicative, caring, and so responsible with our hollie. They went out of their way to handle her pick up and drop offs and made the whole travel plan work out completely without any stress.”


“Jeongeun was very kind with Thor. She took excellent care of him. Will book with her again, 100% recommended.”


“Ponyo is a little anxious pup especially if meeting for the first time. Dohwee was patient with Ponyo and during the second visit, Ponyo had fun time with Dohwee. Very patient and caring! Will come back to him again”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”

“What a wonderful experience I had on vacation knowing my Tuna was safe with a kind and loving person! I received daily photo messages, sometimes two. Always kept informed and in the loop with what his day to day was looking like, from watching movies to playing with this really gross toy he is obsessed with. We will definitely be back for future trips. Thanks Barbara!”

Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!”


“Another wonderful experience with Winn. He was very professional and communicative throughout the process. He took good care of our pup and sent updates.”


“Xiaoting is very responsible! I was originally choosing between him and another sitter because the other one was closer to my place but I’m so glad that I chose him! Definitely worth the trip! Oolong loves him so much. Oolong has mild separation anxiety and Xiaoting spent a lot of time playing with him and really made him feel at home! I also got pictures from Xiaoting from time to time even when I didnt ask! I would def come back when I need a dog sitter in the future. 10/10 - highly recommend!!!”
