1. Christine J.
“I am a clingy, overprotective dog mom. It’s me, I’m the problem. I get it. But my pup was so happy at Christine’s, she did not want to leave. My dog is super active (busy, always busy) but she’s currently still pouting and napping after 10 days at her new best friend’s house. Christine was the perfect amount of communicative to let me enjoy my trip out of the country, while allowing me to not have constant anxiety. She is also super understanding and flexible, which is a huge plus. My pup will definitely be staying with her again soon! So happy and grateful to her.”
2. Andy G.
“Louis had a great time with Andy and Cookie. Andy was very communicative and sent lots of photos. He took Louis on lots of walks and Louis came home tired and happy.”
3. Nina C.
“Nina did such a great job of taking care of my small and nervous puppy Stella!! Stella warmed up really quickly and was super comfortable and happy staying with Nina. And Stella and Ricky were best friends as well. I recommend Nina to everyone and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
4. Michael Y.
“Michael was phenomenal as he took care of Sammy, my beagle. He was friendly and communicative and Sammy enjoyed staying with him. I highly recommend Michael.”
5. Nelly M.
“Nelitza gave amazing care to my senior pup with anxiety! She communicated often with pictures and updates. She is experienced and gentle. We will be using her again!”
6. Leonard & Kathryn J.
“This was Hugo’s second stay with Leonard and his family. Hugo had such a great time with the family and the other canine guests on his first visit that he practically galloped to the door for this visit. Leonard carefully screens his canine guests for temperament and personality, and Hugo seemed to thoroughly the company. We will be return guests for sure 🙂”
7. Leah D.
“Leah was fantastic! We have a sweet, old Boston Terrier who is a bit set in her ways. Leah was kind and patient with her. This was Pims first time staying with a Rover sitter. We would definitely use Leah again. We were thrilled. Thank you, Leah!”
8. Lauren S.
“Lauren and Bentley took such good care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. Lauren is incredibly responsive, kind, calm, and patient which made leaving our boy with her for the first time very reassuring. She sent updates via messages, photos, and videos each day we were gone. Would definitely recommend Lauren and will be returning customers!”
9. Vanessa G.
“Vanessa and her family were wonderful with our 2 dogs. She is an amazing dogsitter and I highly recommend her. From the moment I booked with her, she was professional, communicative and truly cared about my dogs. She provided regular updates and sent pictures which gave me peace of mind. I also live more than an hour away and she met my son half-way for drop off and pick up. For the pick- up there was an accident, and my son arrived late and she was very patient and understanding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely book with Vanessa again in the future!! Thank you for treating our dogs like your own!!”
10. Molly & Gary H.
“Molly and Gary are the best! I cannot emphasize this enough! We feel lucky to have found them. I knew Harley would be in good hands even before dropping her off. Molly confirmed the booking in advance, which allowed time for her to answer questions and put me at ease. We especially liked that they only boarded one dog at a time. That was important to us. Molly sent an update and several photos daily. They treated Harley like a family member and took her on all their many outings. We loved getting the updates and seeing where Harley would go next in the DMV. It was like she was at summer camp. Their dog Axl was also very sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend Molly and Gary and will definitely leave Harley with them again.”
11. Sky G.
“Sky was a life saver! She hosted my Uschi and gave her meds and gave her companionship with her 2 tiny cuties! My pup was returned to me calm and happy--she even got a bath!”
12. Natalie A.
“Our little Iggy loved his time with Natalie. Natalie was super accommodating with our schedule and clearly attentive and sensitive to our little guy's needs. We'll definitely be looking to Natalie when we need to go out of town again.”
13. Luciana V.
“Luciana was great with Bella! Based on the photos she would send I can tell Bella was comfortable with her and enjoyed her time. I look forward to having Bella stay with Luciana in the future if needed! Luciana was also flexible with my drop off dates/times when I was finalizing the details. Thanks so much again!”
14. Jade P.
“My dog and their pup got along well with play fights and couch time which was adorable. They shared photos and gave updates throughout the stay which was wonderful. Will definitely use them again for future dogsitting stays.”
15. Elizabeth M.
“Elizabeth is the best! She sent daily updates and photos, it was clear from the messages and when I picked up Nelly that Nelly had a great time and was able to relax in Elizabeth's company. From the meet and greet up to Nelly's stay, Elizabeth was responsive, flexible, and enthusiastic. I second another pup's parent's review that Elizabeth is the pet sitter I want to keep a secret so that Nelly can stay with her whenever we're out of town!”
16. Erin F.
“Erin is the best! My Flo loves her and is a peace of mind to know that she is in very good hands. Erin send me pictures very often and I love it.”
17. Sam L.
“Sam is incredibly kind and super responsive! We booked him on super short notice and he answered right away. His home is clean and well-maintained. His dog, Happy, is such a sweetheart and was so good to our lil guy. He lives right next to a park that is perfect for long walks and exploring. We will use Sam again in the future for sure - we had a fantastic experience.”
18. Krystal S.
“This was our second time working with Krystal, who was responsive and kind with our boarding and our dog came back happy and healthy. I would highly recommend and plan on working with her again!”
19. Maliyah A.
“Maliyah was very prompt/ professional. I needed a dog sitter last minute and she came through. Maliyah sends pictures and checks in with you throughout the stay. Brockly looked very happy and was well taken care of. I will definitely be returning Brockly the next time he needs a sitter.”
20. Jie Z.
“Jie and family did a wonderful job taking care of Chloe. She seemed happy and relaxed when we picked her up. They sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away. We will definitely book again!”
