“Lee did a great job from the very first meet and greet to the last pick up when we had her watch our 2 little chihuahua terrier mixes. She sent us daily photos so that we’d know they were doing well with her other dogs. Highly recommend!”


“Robin and Dan did a great job with our senior chipin, Diego, who needs some TLC due to his age, breed, and recent hearing loss. Their attention to Diego's needs is greatly appreciated.”


“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”


“Andrea is absolutely wonderful—so sweet and caring with our pup. She treats our dog like her own and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and having fun. Our dogs get along great and enjoy their time together, which gives us real peace of mind while we’re away. We never have to worry, knowing he’s in such loving hands!”


“Kelly was a wonderful sitter for Benny! I received plenty of daily updates, helping me feel confident that he was in good hands. He got plenty of walks, park time, play time, and snuggles. Kelly also returned him cleaner than when I dropped him off!! We are very glad we’ve found Kelly, as I fully intend to use her again in the future. I know she treated Benny like her own pup and took excellent care of him!”


“Anna & Jason & Lucky were amazing. Super communicative. They sent pictures & videos throughout my trip, which allowed me to enjoy myself. Would not hesitant to re-book in the future!”



“Natalie and Matthew are AMAZING! From quickly responding to our request, setting up a meet and greet, and the stay. They showed great care and understanding of our two dogs. It was obvious that Shadow and Chance felt comfortable through the pictures they sent during their stay. Shadow and Chance are already looking forward to their next stay with their new best friends! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to leave our dogs in their care. Thanks again Natalie and Matthew!”


“Where do I even start? Chawntea’s reviews speak for themselves and after coming across her profile I knew that she would be a perfect fit for looking after my sweet boy. I received plenty updates and even came back to a freshly bathed pup which was so unexpected yet so appreciated. 100% recommend her and can’t wait for more fun times between Juice and Bailey!”

“Suzanne watched our two dogs for four nights while we travelled to the east coast for a memorial service. We were comforted to know our boys were in amazing hands during a difficult time - she was warm and friendly, her home was comfortable and inviting. Our dogs were immediately at home when we visited for our meet and greet. She has an awesome outdoor garden which the dogs immediately loved! She also sent photos and videos of the boys playing and snuggling which we loved!! we highly recommend Suzanne to care for your pups :)”

Amanda & Christopher B.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Amanda as a dog sitter on Rover! She is one of the most devoted and responsible dog moms I know—her French Bulldog is not just her pet but her adventure partner. Whether it’s going on hikes, exploring new parks, or just spending quality time cuddling at home, Amanda is all about giving dogs the best life possible. She has a natural energy that dogs gravitate toward, and she’s incredibly attentive to their needs. I’ve seen firsthand how patient, loving, and playful she is—not only with her own pup but with other dogs she meets. She’s also super reliable and detail-oriented, which makes her someone I’d trust 100% to care for my own dog. Any pup that stays with Amanda is guaranteed to get tons of affection, attention, and adventure. She’ll treat your dog like family!”
