“Rizwan, Noorjahan and their family were such great sitters for our dog and cat! They are such a sweet family and we received many pictures every day. I was reassured that both my pets were having a great time with them! Will definitely reach out again for our next sitting.”

“Hi , Kichu had a great time with Mario. He texted me and also replied my text in a timely manner so I could solve the problem easily . I was able to enjoy my trip peacefully. He sent me Kichu’s pictures and videos.I highly consider Mario next time. Thank you for your service.”

“My dog Zoey stayed with Bob for five nights. He sent daily updates and and communicated well. I could tell Zoey had a blast from the pictures and videos he sent me. He even did some training work with her, and we are going to use him in the future!”
“Best pet sitter ever! My dog was incredibly well taken care of, even with additional medical and dietary needs. I received constant communication and pictures with updates. They treated him as if held was part of their family. I will trust Lori and Wil with my dog every time I need to leave him at home while I travel.”
“Hannah is probably one of the best dog sitters I’ve met. Piper would rather stay with her than come home! Without a doubt will be using Hannah as much as possible. She sends daily updates and her timely replies and flexibility is unmatched.”


“I highly recommend Olga. She truly loves our dog. She gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with daily walks and even took him to the park to play and explore. She even insisted to home our dog for another night for free so we can have good rest coming from our vacation. She genuinely cares and we could tell our dog was happy and well taken care of. We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future.”

“Eileen was wonderful, as usual! I always feel like my pup is safe in her care. I also appreciate her photos everyday, and how well she is organized and professional. 🙂”

“Norman’s stay with Naomi and Johann went off without a hitch. He felt at home with them and got along well with Milo. We enjoyed receiving the regular updates and pictures they sent as well!”

“Took great care of my little kitty and let her be part of her lovely family. Very communicative & helpful as a first time rover user! She was also super flexible in terms of last minute booking, pickup times, etc.”

“Diana and her family took such amazing care of my Estelle! This was the first time in almost 2 years my dog had to stay overnight outside of our home and Diana made her feel so comfortable. Their house is a perfect set-up to care for dogs and with a full family and 2 dogs to play with my Estelle was more than happy with her time there.”

“Kent was an amazing sitter. He is very communicative, and showed great care for our pup. He is calm and patient, and has a wonderful demeanor. It is no wonder he formed a great bond with her. We would very much recommend him to anyone. Thank you Kent!”
“I was very anxious about leaving my girls while I was on vacation. But Thomas and Kelly took great care of them and sent lots of pictures to ease my mind. I was able to enjoy my vacation much more since I knew my girls were in good hands.”

“Daisy seems like she enjoyed her time with Vicki and the family. She was happy coming home as well. I really enjoyed receiving the pictures of Daisy playing with Trixie. I definitely will use Vicki again in the future. Donna Meskan”

“Tatiana was the best! She was very accommodating with a last minute request for a new client on Mother’s Day weekend. She sent pictures, gave updates, and you could tell our puppy Champ was having a great time. Tatyana was very professional courteous and we will be using her again in the future.”

“I’d like to share my experience with Christina, who recently cared for my dog, Moxy. Right before the boarding, Moxy had an injury, and I was a bit nervous about leaving her. But Christina was incredibly understanding and attentive from the start. She went above and beyond to make sure Moxy was comfortable and well taken care of. Christina kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which really helped ease my mind. She made sure Moxy was fed properly and gave her the extra attention she needed during recovery. Despite the circumstances, Moxy was happy and relaxed with Christina — I could tell she felt safe and cared for. I’m truly grateful for the compassionate and professional service Christina provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

“Tucker has the best time when he stays with Jeanette and Charles. Long walks and lots of fun playing in their large fenced-in yard. They send plenty of fun pictures and videos!”

“Marija was amazing! She sent a lot of pictures and updates during Rookie’s entire stay. It was so nice knowing she was safe and getting a lot of love while we were gone!”

“Corinne took incredible care of my little June. You can tell that she is a very warm and caring person and that she loves dogs. She is very responsive and sent several updates and pictures while I was away. I had forgotten to bring my dog's special food and Corinne went out of her way to find an alternate one for her. She ended up sharing her own dog's food (The Farmer's Dog) with June and she loved it so we'll be switching dog food brands (: I cannot recommend Corinne highly enough!”

I highly recommend Olga for her pet sitting services. She took amazing care of our dog, Zoey. She played with her and took Zoey on a lot of walks (which she loves). Her communication was great- she sent daily video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind… Zoey looked like she was having the best time. We can’t wait to have Olga watch Zoey again!

Tatiana was the best! She was very accommodating with a last minute request for a new client on Mother’s Day weekend. She sent pictures, gave updates, and you could tell our puppy Champ was having a great time. Tatyana was very professional courteous and we will be using her again in the future.

Christine took great care of our two dogs while we were away. We received regular updates with pictures, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Communication was always prompt and easy, and it was clear our dogs were well cared for and happy. We would definitely book with her again!

Violeta was able to accommodate a last minute booking request when we were unable to get our dog in for boarding during our spring break. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs due to her experience as a veterinary technician which helped immensely since our dog has some special needs/mobility issues. She was responsive and sent pictures and videos of Scooter and her two dogs. We are grateful to Violeta for taking great care of Scooter and would highly recommend her services to our friends and family!
