“Leslie is amazing! She was able to work with us last minute to take our pup when I was in labor. She provided us with pictures and updates and our Joy was happy. We definitely recommend her and will be working with her again.”


3. Jamila M.

“Jamila was a lifesaver! Another sitter canceled in the middle of my dog’s stay and Jamila immediately responded to my last minute request. I’m so grateful for her and Brolin seemed to easily get along with her too. So glad I found her. I highly recommend!”


4. Chris C.

“Chris was absolutely wonderful! He took exceptional care of Kai, going above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident from the start, and I truly appreciated the frequent updates and numerous photos he provided. It gave me so much peace of mind while traveling, knowing Kai was in such great hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking Chris again!”

“She was the best. She took care of whiskers like he was her own kitty. She kept an eye on his weight, gave him lots of treats, and even ordered more food for him before telling me she was out! She is an amazing person.”


9. Christa C.

“I simply cannot say enough good things about Christa! My lilttle dude is the most important thing in my life and finding Christa has been a blessing to us. I can be a bit of a helicopter dog owner and Christa takes such good care of Lucky I literally never worry. She’s kind and considerate and has a love for life that she extends to all living creatures- inviting Lucky in to her life caring for him on walks, beach days… it’s so great. I promise if you have her care for your animals you’ll be a return customer after the first time. She gives delightful reports, is attentive and she even went out and got little toys and a brush for Lucky! I met Christa through Rover and have now dropped Lucky off with her countless times, I would trust her with my life at this point. 10000000/10.”


10. Erica J.

11. Jo Tom B.

“Jo Tom’s place is pristine clean and Jo is amazing😀This was the first time my 10-year-old Shih Tzu Lizzee had EVER been left with anyone other than those she knew. Jo was kind and loving from the moment we met and she and Lizzee became fast friends. Jo sent messages, photos and videos several times a day and responded to my inquiries within minutes. We will request Jo for any time we need dog boarding and have already sent in a request for this December😍 Thank you, thank you, and thank you again! I’m giving Jo Tom a hundred plus stars🌠”


12. Nina H.

“Nina is super sweet and loving with Scout, she sent me tons of updates and my boy looked so happy to be with her in every one. I 100% trust her and will be bringing Scout to stay with her every time I leave town if she is available. I highly recommend her!”


13. Jacquelyne F.
“If you've been looking for a phenomenal dog sitter, you're search is now over. Even more apparent than the fact that Jackie is honest, hard working, and pleasant to be around, is the fact that she is more passionate about dogs than just about anything else in life. This woman will make sure that your dog is given the best of physical care, but I can guarantee that your dog will get even better emotional care and attention from her. She will literally be even more excited and happy than your dog will be about the time they spend together. And the icing on the cake.. Jackie also has several years of dog training under her belt and can manage any tricky behaviors.”


14. Natalie B.


“Natalie was absolutely amazing. She took care of our Great Dane puppies for 4 days. She sent photos and videos of them playing daily while they they were there. They didn’t want to leave! Highly recommend, I’ll be using her moving forward!”


15. Paige S.


“Paige was absolutely amazing! Poptart is 12 years old and has trouble adjusting sometimes but he loves Paige! Paige was responsive, kind, and flexible! I had an 8 day trip to Korea, and I’m so glad I found Paige! She sent me daily updates with photos, took Poptart on dog play dates, walks and so much more! I feel like Poptart was also on vacation! High recommended! I already booked my next boarding with Paige! That’s how amazing she is!”


16. Kimberly G.
“All my dog sitters were unavailable this week, which meant I had to find a new one. It’s always a daunting task. After messaging many many Rovers, I followed my gut and went with Kimberly. So glad I did! My pup Lia hit it off with Benny the celebrity Corgi. Kimberly sent many photos and it was clear Lia felt right at home. We’ll definitely be back!”


17. Tiara-Jade B.


“I could tell Tiara has a real love for animals and takes great care of the fur babies she boards. My puppy came back to me tired out from the amount of fun that she had playing with the kittens Tiara was fostering. With the continued picture updates and communication, I felt a real ease knowing my baby was in good hands. Many thanks, Tiara.”


18. Maria V.


“Maria has been Lucas Pet sitter for about two years and he loves to be with her. It is really a peace of mind knowing that when i travel, he is happy and well taken care of. She is always very responsive and keep me update about how he is doing. She definitely know very well how to handle energetic dogs like my Lucas.”
