“Su, took excellent care of Max for two days. He settled in quickly and was clearly comfortable and happy at her place. I received regular updates, and pictures, which was great. When Max was picked up, he was relaxed and well-cared for. I highly recommend Su and would definitely book with her again! Thanks, Adrian”
“Sam took amazing care of our dog Ty! She is super communicative and sent lots of pictures during our dog's stay! Ty definitely wanted to stay longer when he was picked up! 1000% recommend Sam to look after your dog in the future!”
“Madison took incredible care of my pup! My dog is 16 years old and she made me feel confident that he was well taken care. She sent me updates and photos through her watching him.”
“Derek and Stella were communicative and super easy to coordinate with. They took great care of my pup and I’d happily book with them again in the future!”
“Erica and her daughter were so sweet to our elderly pup! He got along swimmingly with their sweet baby and it appeared they had a great time playing and snuggling. Thank you for providing so many updates and pictures of their time together. Gus came home happy and relaxed, which doesn’t always happen when we leave. Thank you Erica! :)”
“Sony was very attentive and professional. She sent us a ton of pics and gave us updates of how our dog was doing. My Tobie made a new friend and it seemed like he had a lot of fun with Sony. I'd definitely recommend her!”
“Laura and her family were absolutely amazing dog sitters! Laura was extremely flexible/accomodating, sent detailed updates and pictures every day, and brought our dog Moe on incredible adventures (hikes, runs, dog parks every day!!) we couldn’t have asked for a better family for Moe to have stayed with. Thank you so much Laura for taking such good care of Moe. He is excited to come back soon!”
“Hudson loves staying with Liubov and Adam! The pictures we get of his time with them are great. Liubov goes above and beyond to make sure Hudson is comfortable.”
“Thanks to her care, my first long trip was a great success. I didn’t worry at all while I was away. Also my little dog loves her! Thank you so much for everything!! I’ll definitely book with her again in the future when she’s available :)”
“Where do I even begin? Gabrielle and Paddy are angels. My wife and I had a trip coming up, and we had planned to leave our dog with my friend who got sick last second and we had to find a solution. I downloaded Rover, breezed through the listings and looked at reviews - Gabby and Paddy had the highest number of reviews and they happened to be available. I reached out, they got back to me right away, we setup the zoom call to iron out a few details, and the next morning I dropped my pup off at their place. They provided daily updates with photos and summaries/highlights of the day. I could tell by the pictures that Philly was in good hands and I didn’t doubt the quality of their service for a second. I highly recommend them as your dog/cat sitters and will most definitely be contacting them in the future!! If I could leave six stars — I would.”
“Abdel was so friendly and so accommodating. We had a little hiccup in our plans and he was flexible with the pickup time we originally had scheduled. Our Hiki girl enjoyed her time with Abdel!”
“Shelley was a wonderful host for our pup, Pepper. It was our first time leaving Pepper with a sitter and he had a great time. Shelley was attentive and accommodating of all his needs (we’re still working on leash walks and some reactivity). Shelley sent lots of updates and photos/videos of the fun adventures they had together. Additionally, Shelley was willing to meet up beforehand to make sure Pepper was comfortable. She also arranged playdates with her friend’s corgi who was a perfect playmate for Pepper. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Shelley, and Pepper came back happy and relaxed.”
“Derek took wonderful care of our dog, Kaia, who had just had surgery a week ago, still had a cone around her neck, and needed antibiotics and gentle care as her incision site was still healing. We were moving, and so wanted a calm place for her to rest while we dealt with the chaos of moving. Derek gave her a loving home to rest, and she came back happy, full of energy, and her incision site actually made leaps and bounds in healing. Thank you so much, Derek!”
“My dog Slinkee had a great stay and Sue provided daily pictures and updates. Would recommend her if you're heading out of town or even if you just need a sitter for the weekend!”
“Katie was just fantastic. Knowledgeable, communicative, welcoming, and a pleasure to engage with. Seemed to take great care of Buddy, who seemed hopeful he'd get to stay longer. Completely recommend.”
“Remo is the BEST!! When I dropped our Franklin off he never looked back. He really loves staying with Remo and going to all the different fun locations for walks and photos Kirk”
“I had a wonderful experience boasting my little French Bulldog with Alina and her family. She sent photos of them exploring the neighborhood on walks which I know my dog loves to do. Alina is great at communicating regularly and is so kind. I could tell that my dog was happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Taji and Greg were great with Katia, she was a happy dog when we picked her up. I really appreciated them sending me pics and updates. I’ll trust them with my dog again next time”
“We had Carol watch our dog YoYo this weekend and she was amazing! Our original sitter canceled last minute, and Carol stepped in on short notice. She took the time to ask all the right questions, took notes, and made sure YoYo felt right at home. She sent us plenty of updates and photos. He looked so happy lounging on the couch and going on walks. We’re so grateful she could help in a pinch, and we’ll definitely book with her again. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”
