1. Jiawei L.

“Jiawei is so incredible! He took such great care of my pups. The pictures and videos throughout their stay was such a blessing. I have more confidence and trust in Jiawei than I do with even most of my own family with my angels. I will definitely be a returning customer.”


2. Kimberly S.

“Kimberly was fantastic! I loved knowing Bruno was in good hands. She kept me updated and he was nice and tired when he left :)”


3. May T.

“I believe my pup, Gatsby, has met his new best friend! Their dog, Pepper, comforts the fur guests so they feel very safe and relaxed in the new environment. The top two priorities for the owners, right? I'm definitely going to reach out to May again!”


4. Zari M.

“Zari was friendly, communicative, reliable, and took good care of our Isla during the holidays. We appreciate that she can handle all kinds of dogs, including our energetic one!”


5. Pranjali L.


“Pranjali was great with Coco! I really appreciated the updates throughout the day from her with pictures and videos. Since she has a dog of her own I felt very confident that she could take care of my sweet Coco. I would highly recommend Pranjali for your next sitter!”


6. Kimberly R.


“Kimberly is so warm, friendly and loving to our dog! She goes out of her way to send updates and pix which is an extra comfort when we’re away. I feel safe having my dog with her.”


7. Lily Z.

“Weili is great! She takes good care of our dogs even including feeding medication. Lucky and Corona had a very good time with Weili and Emma.”


8. Caroline S.

“Caroline was great with my baby, Pablo! Her dog Bjorn was besties with him and they got along together so great! It gave me such peace of mind knowing that he was so happy and well taken care of when we were on our trip. Caroline sent pictures everyday and even a video of them playing at the park ❤️ They have a great little park and walkway for the dogs at her place and they definitely enjoyed themselves so much! Caroline’s husband and her were so caring and gave my pup lots of exercise and love. My dog typically takes a while to warm up to people but I’ve never seen him love on someone so quick like he did with Caroline! She even sent me a picture of him laying his head down on her lap on the couch and cuddling on her bed. He definitely loved her more than anyone he’s ever stayed with and it was great not having anxiety about who was watching him ❤️ We will most definitely book again and bring him over for play dates! Bjorn, her dog, is the sweetest thing and he’s very funny too!”


9. Michael M.

“Michael was a great dog sitter! We left our young golden retriever with Michael while we were out of town. I felt very confident that Rusty was in great hands! He sent multiple photos of Rusty on walks, playing with other dogs, at the park etc. We would definitely use Michael again to look after our pup! :)”


10. Nicole Z.

“Nicole and her family are amazing! We contacted them in a panic as our usual dog sitter cancelled on us one day before we were to leave on a trip and are SO thankful to find her on rover. Our dog could not have been loved more. We received incredible communication (with photos!) daily and our dog was treated like she was a part of their family! We will use Nicole from now on whenever we go out of town. We are so grateful for her, her husband and son for loving on our girl! Would recommend her without hesitation.”




11. Alix S.


“Our two Shelties had a great stay with Alix over a long weekend getaway. We received regular picture and video updates and we could tell they were well cared for. All the logistics were so simple and easy. Alix is highly recommended for a stress free boarding experience!”


12. Lena A.

“Lena and her family did an incredible job boarding our dog (50 lbs/7 yrs old) for 5 days while we were away. She was so responsive and easy to communicate with. Lena sent update photos and videos of our dog throughout our trip and gave our dog so many more walks and outdoor explorations than she gets at home. I could rest easy knowing our dog was happy with Lena!! I would recommend Lena for dog boarding to anyone considering booking with her.”


13. Alyssa A.
“I had a pleasant experience with Alyssa and her ability to take care of my needs. She was communicative and easy going through the process, since this was my first time using this app. She took care of my dog Mr. B for two days and I could not be happier to have chosen her. The next trip I do I will be back 👍🏽”




14. Nicole E.

“FIVE STARS! I would give more if I could. Nicole and her family treated our nine month old puppy like their own. She was well cared for and pampered during her ten day stay with them. We were worry free during our vacation because we knew she was in good hands! They went above and beyond our expectations. We recieved frequent updates with photos. Thank You Nicole!”


15. Ruda V.


“Wonderful and amazing people! Super reliable super communicative and really loving. My dog Beck had an amazing time! Came back to me very happy! I will 100% be going back to them in the future! Thank you so much!”

18. Zil M.

“Zil took such great care of my cat! It was our first boarding experience but she immediately put me at ease. Like another reviewer said, her home is a cat’s dream with lots of toys and cat towers. She sent me daily picture updates which I was so happy to see! Will def reach out to Zil again!”
