“Keasha took great care of our dog Arnie. We got daily updates during his stay, and I did not have to worry about him while we were away. We would definitely be happy to have Arnie stay with Keasha again in the future!”


“Absolutely wonderful with my cat. He normally doesn’t open up to pet sitters right away because of separation anxiety but he opened up quickly with Alyssa. She took great care of my baby boy and kept me constantly updated on him”


“Anely was very informative, professional in taking care of our Siberian Husky, Orka. She sent us videos, photos, every time she took our pet for a walk and more while he is resting. She let us know about all the details, how much food our pet had, how much he slept.. I took my dog for a walk before leaving him with Anely. As soon as I dropped him off, he sat next to Anely on the porch and starting gazing the street. That there told me that Orka trusted Anely from the first minute. Also I could easily tell Anely was enjoying our pet's stay the whole time. On top of the detailed info she provided during the stay, these two things were very important for me. I strongly recommend, and will not hesitate to contact her next time we need someone to take care of our dog. Thank you!!”


“Cardi was great! We’ve booked with him twice. Both times he was super responsive and flexible. Piper came back happy, healthy, and exhausted in the best way.”


“Daniel did a fantastic job caring for my 92 pound dog Rudy. Daniel played with him, walk him, and gave him attention. I feel that Rudy will miss him, I would recommend Daniel to care for any pet large or small. Ron, Rudy‘s owner”


“Doris’ home was a great setting for Rocky. Doris was very communicative and excellent and prompt in responding. Loved the daily photos and videos. I definitely recommend Doris.”


“Cristina is incredible! She was so flexible with my drop off and pick up during the holiday craziness and couldn’t have been sweeter! She took excellent care of my pups- complete with lots of hugs, kisses, snuggles and playtime! The adorable pictures she sent me throughout the day during play or nap time definitely eased my mind, and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Sammi and Yitzy had a blast with Buddy and felt so welcome and comfortable in Cristina’s care. I will definitely choose Cristina to watch them the next time I have to go out of town!?”

“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”


“I’m so lucky to have found Leanne and her family! I never have to worry when my dogs are staying with them, they have a lot of experience handling multiple dogs who have their own quirks too!”


“Gilbert was absolutely amazing with Diesel! We got multiple videos daily of Diesel and Moon running around the yard, playing with each other. We got updates on how he did every day! Diesel was a very happy boy during his stay. We will definitely come back to Gilbert again when we need a sitter for Diesel. ☺️”


“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”


“Thank you very much for treating my dogs with such love and care Michelle! So happy to see my dogs back - they look like they had an awesome time with you !”


“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Aslan! She sent such cute update pics and I could tell Aslan had the best time. I couldn’t have picked a better sitter. Thanks so much again Sarah!”


“Charlie spent two weeks with Lisa and was so comfortable and well taken care of. We were able to fully log offline and relax knowing he was in good hands! Multiple daily updates with photos and occasional videos. Charlie is a senior dog with separation anxiety so we were very worried about leaving him for so long and finding a sitter who would accommodate his joint problems and medication needs. Lisa was great about his routine and attentive to our requests!”


“Sheryl was great. I boarded my pup for the first time and I was a bit nervous. But everything went well. She sent me regular updates and she said her daughter loved him. Knowing that he is loved and taken care of was a great feeling.”


“Katie is awesome! I went away for the weekend and she was very communicative, responsible, flexible, and spent plenty of time tending to my dog Teddy who is very active! He loves her and is looking forward to seeing her again soon :D”


“Cherylee and Steven went above and beyond for my dog Clover and I while I was away. Being a travel nurse and first time Rover user, I was super nervous about the whole process, but they were so welcoming and accommodating to all of my pups need. Cherylee even went as far as to rescue us when my car broke down on the way to our meet and greet! I have an older pup with a lot of dietary and medication needs. They had absolutely no problem keeping his schedule and made sure to send me pictures and videos daily. I will definitely be a repeat client and would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality caretaker for their fur babies! 🐶💕”
