“This was the first time that I used this service. It was the longest my dog has ever been separated from me and he was on a strict diet, so I was extremely selective in choosing a sitter. I appreciated the daily photos and I think my dog was able to adjust well since he is used to humans being with him most of the day. It appears that he learned to get along better with dogs while he was there. The hosts were patient, considerate, flexible and very good with dogs and their parents. I will definitely use them again when I am in the area.”



“Damacia took great care of Toby when I was out. Always kept me updated with pictures and messages. Toby came back home very happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Damacia for future trips.”


“Excellent experience, as always. Henry has stayed with Matt several times. Matt communicates well and often, is great managing the pack, and my Henry is always happy to go back.”


“This was the longest time I've been away from my pup and Michelle did another amazing job. He always looks like he's having the best time with Milo and I appreciate all the updates and pictures they send! So happy to have found a great sitter for my boy!”


“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”


“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”


“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”



“Hilary is great, our dog loved staying with her! Hilary has a great fenced end yard, took our dog on walks, and sent frequent updates. You cannot find a a better pet sitter!”

When I picked him up he was his usual happy go lucky self. I can tell he had an amazing time! I would absolutely love to utilize Joleya’s services again.”


“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”

“Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!”


“We were worried chewy wouldn’t want to come home! Ava and Ross are definitely dog whisperers. He had a great time and they sent lots of good photos. We felt he was in safe hands.”

From start to finish, Michaela did a wonderful job watching our little dog Coco! She always responded in a timely manner and kept in touch with us, sending pictures and updates daily. We’re so grateful that Coco was loved and taken well care during our trip abroad. We would highly recommend Michaela if you should need a loving and caring pet sitter!!🥰🐾

Lindsey and Brian did a great job taking care of our old girl. They were flexible with challenging airport drop off and pickup times as well. Pictures and updates throughout the stay made us feel confident she was in good hands and made leaving her easier. Will definitely rebook

This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!

Tyler and her dog Bowie are wonderful. Tyler sent me frequent updates and pictures which helped ease my mind about leaving my dog who struggles with separation. She is a fantastic sitter and took great care of him. She made sure he was comfortable throughout the entire visit. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter who loves and understands dogs! She is great!

I had the pleasure of having Lydie take care of my Labrador puppy, Panhu, during my trip to Richmond. She was incredibly professional, attentive, and kind. Panhu warmed up to her quickly, which speaks volumes about her approach to pet care. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and knows how to handle them with patience and expertise. I truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet caregiver.
