1. Allesha B.

“I would definitely recommend Allesha to others. She sent regular updates through texts, pictures, and video. She was very understanding and patient with my anxious and needy fur baby.”


2. Pallavi K.

“I would trust leaving my dog here any time. He was loved and cared for by this amazing couple like he was their own. This was my first time trusting anyone with my dog and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Received daily pictures and updates, was able to enjoy vacation worry free. Highly recommended!”
3. Joe & Madeleine G.

“Madeline and Joe were there for me in a sudden pinch to care for my Frenchton for almost 2 weeks. They sent regular videos, pictures, and updates to keep me in the loop as to how he was and help me feel comfortable. I chose them originally as they asked me just as many questions as I had for them, which shows they know proper care (they also have their own dog, too), and want to make sure that there is mutual trust. I will most certainly be using them in the future!”


4. Tara R.

“My doggy was so happy and comfortable with Tara— I don’t think he will want to leave! Tara provided me with constant pictures and updates throughout his stay. She even brought him to her social run club and out for coffee after! I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a Dogsitter and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”




5. Alesia B.


“Star did a great job with my puppy, Darla! She was flexible about the pick up/ drop off times and took great care of my girl. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”


6. Tammy C.

“Tammy is the absolute best sitter I’ve ever encountered on or off Rover. She sends pics and videos, communicates throughout the stay and has been a lifesaver when it comes to emergencies/short notice situations. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


7. Rafael C.

“Thank you for taking care of my dog and for sending me lots of pictures”


8. Beverly R.


“Great overall! She communicates (sometimes a bit often), but you can tell it’s in her caring nature. She was able to go to rescue my baby after a Rover sitter left him home alone while I was out of town due to an “emergency”. Beverly was there step by step and I wouldn’t know what I would’ve done without her stepping in to get a ride to my place, pack him and his things, and take him in for boarding. She sent me pics and videos to ensure he was well taken care of. I would book with her again!”


9. Jordan K.

“Jordan was AWESOME with Jack! Very good experience, kept us updated with pictures and did a great job keeping him busy. Highly recommended in the future.”


10. Theresa & Adrian B.

“We found ourselves in a bit of a jam before a planned trip after our long-term arrangement ended. Luckily, we found Theresa and Adrian! We initially discussed our ask - a few days stay - and agreed to bring over our Lucy for a quick visit. They were very attentive with great questions about Lucy's needs and habits. Lucy decided to be very ill-behaved at the visit and we offered to connect them with our previous sitter to confirm her usual behavior, which they took us up on. When we dropped off Lucy for the stay, she was wagging her tail and went in without a pause! They sent us pics and updates while we were away, which was such a relief and let us enjoy our time with family. When we arrived to pick up Lucy, she barked at the knock like it was her house! A good sign. She was happy to be home, but so much less stressed than if we had boarded her at the commercial place nearby. We would absolutely request to have Lucy stay with them again if they'll have her!”


11. Stefania V.

“Stefania and her boyfriend were incredible sitters, and I mean that in earnest. They were able to offer overnight care for our dog after a last-minute cancellation, and they went above and beyond in making him feel part of their family. They're very active! They took our pup on multiple walks at dog parks and even hiking trails; after I picked him up, he had a bath and then fell right asleep. Happy dog, happy human.”


12. Whitney & Samuel Y.

“Frankie came home tired and that’s a sign of a good stay. We got updates and pictures during our overnight boarding and we’re very pleased. Will definitely use Whitney & Samuel in the future.”


13. Donna B.

“Donna is a wonderful caregiver. She truly enjoyed spending time with our Aussie. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Donna watch our dog again in the future.”


14. Kayla E.

“So happy I booked with Kayla to sit my pup while I was on vacation. She kept my mind at ease with all the pictures and the updates. I felt confident she would treat my dog right. I definitely plan on booking with her again in the near future.”


15. Raeshawn V.


“We were incredibly grateful to Raeshawn for caring for our pup Stella overnight, especially on short notice. Raeshawn was accommodating and communicative and sent us plenty of pictures.”


16. Vanessa C.

“Vanessa is wonderful!!! She took care of Baker for two nights. Lots of walks and photos throughout his stay. She treated him like her own with lots of snuggles. We are so grateful, and we’ll definitely stay with her again!”


17. Queeny T.

“Great experience with Queeny. She gave our dog eye drops daily, took him for regular walks, and kept us informed with lots of pics and texts.”


18. McKenzie B.
About: Several years of watching pets including my own 4 year old dachshund who loves playing with other dogs! Able to cater to your dogs needs. I am a doctoral student who can be home full time when needed! When I work at home I am able to be there full time or as much as needed for your pet! My dog will be there too and is an excellent dog to also play with. Sizable apartment with dog toys already ready and here, in addition to stairs for smaller dogs and a dog bed. Apartment is dog friends with parks and walking area close by


19. Abdullah D.

“He was wonderful, sent a picture and informed us that teddy was doing well. Easy drop off and pick up”




20. Jeannette P.


“Jeannette is absolutely amazing! She stepped in last minute to watch my dog for 3 weeks during the holiday season and went above and beyond. She provided frequent updates, spoiled my pup with treats and playtime, and it was clear my dog loved staying with her. I couldn’t have asked for better care—highly recommend!”
