1. Anne A.

“Anne was amazing with our Australian Shepherd. She gave us updates every morning, afternoon, and night and went out of her way to make sure our dog was happy and cared for. I was also really impressed with Anne’s knowledge of dogs transitioning to new people and separation anxiety in dogs. It was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better caretaker!”


2. Kecia O.

“Kecia is amazing! She sends daily photos and I know my dog was in excellent hands. I would love to have Kecia watch my dog again. Thank you Kecia!”


3. Kimberli B.

“Our dog was in great hands with Kimberli, who gave her lots of attention and sent her parents lots of pictures. I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a sitter!”


4. Eva & Tyler P.

“Eva and Tyler were the best cat sitters! I left my cat with them for 6 nights. He got along great with their cat! Eva and Tyler provided many updates with pictures and videos the entire time and were extremely quick to respond to any texts. The provided a safe and loving environment for my cat and I felt so comfortable having him there! Will 100% be using them for any future cat sitter needs!”


5. Maria H.
“Maria and Michael are amazing humans. Our senior dogs’ health started to fail while we were away and they recognized his distress and took him to Verg, literally saving his life. They waited with him for hours, consulting with doctors, sending us updates and pictures. They visited him twice a day in the icu, bringing him hot dogs and giving him love until we could rush back, treating him like their own. Even the Vet commented how wonderful they were and could not believe they were not his lifelong dogsitters. If you are lucky enough to have them watch your beloved pet, they will be given the absolute best care. We are forever grateful and only wish we found them sooner.”


6. Laisa & Harun A.

“Laisa and Harun take such great care when boarding our dog Finn. We really appreciate their updates and communication and making a warm and welcoming home for our pup.”


7. Karin & Charlie K.


“Karin is the best and we would not trust Pogo with any other dog sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure Pogo was taken care of on our wedding day and we are so grateful.”


8. Tiina V.

“Words don’t suffice for how incredibly grateful we are to Tiina for saving our baby’s life in a moment of crisis. While we were away for our wedding our dog had a seizure cluster and needed to be rushed to the emergency ER. Tiina administered her emergency medication, and was able to get her downstairs even though our dog had lost the ability to walk. She stayed with her at the ER and FaceTimed us during all the vet interactions. When Pepper needed to be hospitalized for 24 hour monitoring Tiina went unasked and out of her way to go back during visiting hours to comfort her and let us FaceTime with her. Tiina is hands down the best, most thoughtful, and caring dog sitter we have ever worked with. She was not only incredible at understanding our girl’s quirks but she also sent so many beautiful updates and pictures throughout our stay. We feel so incredibly lucky that Pepper was with Tiina during this episode, had she had another seizure before getting to the hospital we might not have our girl anymore, and Tiina is entirely to thank for that. We cannot recommend her highly enough.”


9. Danielle & Andres M.

“Danielle & Andres were the perfect sitters for my pup Winnie while I was away. They sent frequent photo updates and were extremely communicative with drop off / pick up. I hope to have Winnie stay with them for future trips. Highly recommend!”


10. Aksel S.


“Aksel was an awesome Rover! I had an unusual situation — a huge dog who was new to the area like I was, and a last-minute emergency trip I needed dog care for. He put my dog totally at ease, sent me tons of pics, and in general gave me a warm, safe, mindful welcome to the city. Will definitely book again.”


11. Brian L.

“Brian and his girlfriend took amazing care of our high maintenance pup. They sent us updates throughout the weekend with photos, took him on a run, many long park walks and even hand fed him when he was feeling too nervous to eat on his own. What more could you ask for in a pup sitter!”


12. Yunni Z.

“Yunni and her partner were absolutely amazing with Moosh for an entire week! It was my first time leaving him with them. Yunni sent frequent daily updates and always sent a lot of super cute photos. I also appreciated her transparency with scheduling and making sure that my dog is comfortable around other dogs and people. Already booked another stay with Yunni because I know Moosh will be in the best care! Thank you so much for giving Moosh lots of care and love :)”


13. Angie N.

“Tank absolutely LOVED his stay with Angie! He came back so calm and happy. We always get worried leaving our Frenchie with anyone but as soon as I met Angie, I knew she would be a great fit. She taught Tank tricks, took him on lots of walks, gave him cuddles, and sent many pictures to help us get through his absence! It helps knowing next time we are out of town, that Angie will be here taking care of our little boy! 🥰 Thanks so much!!”




14. Lindsay M.


“We were so worried about leaving Jeter with a sitter for the weekend and Lindsay changed that big time! She was so loving and kind to our boy and sent us photos and updates. We’re so happy to have found someone who loves dogs as much as we do and truly cares about her job in providing a loving home away from home. Thank you, Lindsay! Jeter was all smiles when he came home and then took a huge nap after all the fun he had with his new friends.”


15. Kira E.


“Kira is a superstar! My dog absolutely loves staying with her and her children. He’s completely integrated into their lives (even for school drop off). Since my dog is a puppy, Kira even helped train him how to go to the bathroom outside which was so helpful. She’s communicative, sends updates, and always makes sure both of us have peace of mind. I can go on and on about how much we love Kira and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you Kira!”


16. Syd S.


“Syd is absolutely wonderful! My very clingy and anxious dog loved his time with her. She provides thorough daily updates and sends very cute pictures :)”


17. Hawthorne & Wei S.

“So happy we could leave our baby with Hawthorne and Wei. Our boy has separation anxiety so having 2 people so that he is never left alone is a blessing for us. So thankful for the care they gave our dog so that we could vacation in peace. Thank you!”


18. Nirvana D.

“Nirvana is an absolute professional. I messed up my booking time and when I noticed my mistake on the day of the booking she was responsive and helped to ensure my puppy was still taken care of despite my mistake. On top of that I know how much my dog loves being with Nirvana because she pulled me back to Nirvana’s apartment door after being back with me! She communicates throughout the visit and sends photos of my pup which I love - cannot recommend her enough!”


19. David R.

“David is fantastic. I’ve used his services one other time and can safely say he’s my go to for watching our sweet girl. We went on an 8 day vacation, our first time leaving Rue for a long period of time (she’s 9 months old,) and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable and at ease. David regularly sends updates, photos, and more! So reliable, so fun-loving, and more importantly our Rue absolutely adores him. Would highly recommend David for all of your dog needs. Simply the best!”


20. Alison D.

“My dog Kunta had an AWESOME time with Alison! She is so kind and truly did treat him as if he was her own. She was also super accommodating, I forgot to pack number 2 bags and she was able to place an order for some immediately. She’s definitely going to be our go to sitter going forward!”
