Araceli is great and her house is perfect for my smedium sized dog! I know that Scout felt at home and enjoyed running around her yard when she wasn’t lazing around. That allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing she was in good hands thank you Araceli for taking such good care of Scout! 🐾

Coco loves Ana and her husband! They really treat her like they would their own pup. They are super accommodating to her needs as an anxious dog with separation anxiety, and I know she loves the extra affection and attention that they give her while she stays with them. This is Coco’s second time staying with them, and we would book again with Ana!

Robin was an outstanding choice to watch our fur baby! You can tell that she really loves dogs and was happy to have Trevor at her home. She is an excellent communicator, responded to our messages quickly, and kept us updated with daily pictures of our pup. He was definitely loving his multiple walks and extra attention. I would happily book Robin again!

Kenneth was so awesome to work with!! He was wonderful with Roxy from the moment we met him. Roxy immediately felt safe, comfortable, and excited to play, which gave us so much peace of mind. He was incredibly attentive to her needs, especially since she's a nervous and anxious dog, and even shared helpful tips with us when working on her reactivity with other dogs. Throughout her stay, he kept us updated and reassured, which we really appreciated! We also loved how many walks they went on!! Roxy came home so happy, well-rested, and clearly had such a great time. We would absolutely book with him again!

Daniela took care of my dog Mia while I was in Europe, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept me constantly updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Mia clearly had an amazing time and was so well cared for. I’m incredibly grateful and will absolutely be booking Daniela again. Highly recommend! 🐾 ✨

About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too

Elba has been the best dog-sitter I could have asked for. She and Miel got along so well! She had no issues with the schedule suggested and was happy to give Miel her allergy medication. They went on long walks, TV show marathons, squirrel looking, and even to a drive-in movie theater!! Elba updated me every morning and sent many beautiful pictures and videos of Miel that showed how happy she was. Would definitely ask her again if needed and would 100% recommend. :)

I was so happy to know that PJ was safe and in good hands while my family and I were thousands of miles away on vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Emily again because PJ loves her and gets his quirks.

Lucy and Norah went above and beyond to take care of my greyhounds and make sure they had fun at their place. Greyhounds are a sensitive/needy bunch, so that says a lot about the care they received. I’m so grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you both!!

I cannot put into words or say enough positive things about Zaira. I was previously using cage free boarding facilities to board my dog and would constantly worry whenever I was out of town. Wanting less stress for my dog, I opted to try a personal boarding experience through Rover. Zaira was amazing and so patient with my dog being nervous and shy around new people. By the end of the few days, they were best friends and I know my pup is always missing Zaira. If you’re looking for an attentive, sweet and stress free experience for daycare or boarding I highly recommend Zaira. Thank you!!!!

This was first time using Rover and Carolina made the experience so easy and stress free. My dog is a small, shy, senior girl 🥲 so you can imagine my worry.
