1. Caitlin D.

“Caitlin was absolutely amazing! I was very nervous to have my dog staying somewhere I didn't know, especially because he's never been anywhere away from me for longer than a day. She was very quick to respond to my check in messages, which were quite frequent because I was so worried. She sent photo updates. She even clipped his nails for me! If I'm in need of her services again, I would definitely rebook. 10/10 recommend to anyone else!”


2. Jackie W.

“There are not enough kind things I can say about Jackie, she took incredible care of my fur baby. My mom unexpectedly passed away and I needed to leave town on very short notice for a week. I had never used Rover before or boarded her for more than one night in the 10 years I’ve had her. I had extreme anxiety about leaving her with someone else, especially during such a vulnerable time. Jackie took the best care of her, and when I say best, I truly mean the best! Nala also has anxiety when away from me and in only one day being away I was getting pictures of her with a huge smile on her face! Jackie and her family treated Nala like she was apart of their family, and gave her lots of cuddle time too 🥰. They knew she was anxious too and did everything they could to make her comfortable. Jackie constantly stayed in contact with me with messages on how she was doing and lots of photos and videos. In 10 years, Jackie was the first person I trusted with my baby and I’m so happy I did. It allowed me to take the time I needed and gave me the piece of mind knowing my baby was being cared for as best as possible. I feel so grateful to have found her, I never would have been able to get out of town if I hadn’t. I couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking for someone who takes just as good of care of your fur baby as you do ❤️.”


3. Elizabeth K.
“Lizzy is great with pets and they all love her! She is able to manage multiple animals at the same time, same or different species, and can keep the peace between all of them!!! She is passionate about animals and loves to be around them!”


4. Norma & Kane G.

“Norma was an incredible dog sitter for my Orion. While I was out of state missing my sweet boy she sent daily updates and photos which made me feel so comfortable leaving him with her family. Orion had a blast and I know we will definitely use them again when we need someone to watch Orion.”


5. Jennifer D.


“My dogs absolutely loved their time with Jennifer! They came home happy but they very tired, you can tell they got plenty of exercise and attention.”


6. Katie J.

“Katie and her family are delightful. Bebe is usually cautious meeting new people. Bebe seemed totally comfortable as this kind family held her, petted her and scratched her tummy. The cute photos they sent looked like Bebe Heaven! We feel very grateful for this sweet family, Thanks Katie !”


7. Niratcha L.

“Niratcha paid alot of attention to my dogs and sent photos and videos throughout the stay at her home. Very responsive and appreciated all the things she did for my 2 dogs.”


8. danielle w.

“Danielle was nice enough to take our pups in an emergency situation. She was absolutely GREAT with them. They were well taken care of, even during a storm. You can rest assured Danielle will take the best care possible of your pets. We already have two other trips booked with her because she was sooo good”


9. Jeannie F.

“Jeannie and her family were so awesome! I felt totally comfortable leaving my 2 dogs there in her care for several days. She sent daily updates with nice pictures and got back to me if I had questions. I would definitely bring my pups back!”


10. Katie F.

“Katie went above and beyond with helping taking care of Milo. Milo seems very happy with his stay! We looovvveee her and her daughter!”


11. Jackie D.

“Unbelievable!!! I’ve been using Rover for quite some time now and this family…what can I say?? They were incredible!! I never expected to feel so much like part of the family and how they embraced Sergeant as part of theirs. They loved on him and he was one happy dog! Sergeant now has a new “Auntie”. I can’t say enough good about how they treated him. Obviously we will be using them again!”


12. Taylor Z.
“I have volunteered with Taylor at the Barn on Baseline for a couple of years. She absolutely loves the dogs and goes above and beyond to see that they are clean, comfortable and well taken care of. Just watching her you can tell that she truly loves what she's doing. I would recommend her without a doubt!”


13. Helen & Eddie R.


“Helen and Eddie were superb!! They watched our two dogs while we were out of town and were super communicative and reassuring. We have a very old bulldog and a very VERY active large breed puppy. Not the easiest combo! And they were fantastic. Will definitely be our go to in the future!”


14. Robynn F.

“Once again Robynn cared for our playful Miles as if he were her own. We had a longer stay and I was so grateful knowing Miles was receiving such love. Lots of photos of the dogs playing together, snuggling in at night and communication was stellar!”


15. Dana B.


“Dana is an amazing sitter! She loved and treated our Blaikey like her own ?. She sent us pictures and updates every day about what/how Blaikey was doing. I absolutely love Dana and can’t wait to have her babysit again!!?❤️”


16. Charley & Anthony F.


“I was nervous because this was my first time using this app and oh my goodness did my nerves go away fast with Charley. She was super nice and easy to communicate with as well as replying fast to any messages I sent! My dog got a cut while with Charley and she informed me right away and cleaned the wound and used topical treatments to care for the cut as well as sending me hope with some of the stuff she used so I could continue to care for my dogs cut at home. Charley sent me pictures and videos everyday and gave me a little overview of the day my dog had. 10/10 recommend boarding with Charley and Anthony!!”


17. Barbara S.

“Absolutely fantastic! We have had some not so good luck with sitters lately, and Barbara was a breath of fresh air. She genuinely cares for the well being of our pups, and the updates were plentiful. Thank you. We will return to you again.”


18. Brian T.

“Brian’s place was a perfect fit for Ralph. At the end of his stay when I got Ralph home he was not stressed at all and continued his evening as if he had never outside. Brian’s family with their pets is such a homely setting that I will definitely be rebooking with him. He was also very prompt in responding to my messages and provided timely updates about Ralph.”


19. Lizzie D.

“Very communicative and flexible. Thank you again!”


20. Jill R.

“I am so happy that I found Jill. She couldn’t have been more attentive and caring, and she went “that extra mile.” Scottie was so happy when I picked him up.” It was like he never left home. Much better than leaving him in a kennel for 12 days. She truly loves dogs.”
