I could not have asked for a more communicative and caring sitter to watch my dog, Poppy! Sonia provided updates several times a day and provided plenty of adorable pictures throughout the stay. It’s always challenging leaving your pup with a new sitter, but Sonia’s frequent communication relieved all nerves. She ensured Poppy was at home from the minute she arrived. I will absolutely be a repeat customer of Sonia’s!

We got regular updates and photos which were so great. We had such a good experience with Kimberly that we're already booking with her again. Thank you Kimberly!!

The second time I left Pilo with Terry was when I truly knew she was in great hands. Pilo began to wag her tail as we walked up the stairs once she recognized where she was. She was so excited to see Terry and her dog Ricky again! Pilo would always be anxious when I'd take her to a dog daycare center so it was very special to see her light up like that. Terry and her husband are so kind. Very happy to know Pilo is in a safe and loving home when I need to be away.

Victoria was fantastic. Very quick to respond to my booking request. Lots of communication, photos & updates. She provided detailed notes from Gingers stay & went above and beyond to care for my baby! Ginger is anxious leaning, especially in new environments and Victoria hand fed Ginger & even offered some of her dogs food. I would HIGHLY recommend.

Celia (Mengying) was so amazing with Bingo! She was constantly sending the funniest check in pictures and videos, and every time she checked in with me, she was either on her way or getting back from bringing Bingo to spend time with other dogs :) They had so much play time and Bingo had so much fun he didn’t want to leave!

Yasmim and Kaline went above and beyond to make sure that Jack felt comfortable and secure while I visited my family. Jack has bad separation anxiety, and I really appreciated their efforts. They kept me well informed with frequent messages, photos, and videos, and I could see that Jack was chilling and relaxed. They even captured his goofy smile! Jack takes several medications, and they dosed him on time and without complaint from him. I highly recommend them!

Gabrielle was great with my dog Bruna. Bruna is epileptic and I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone on Rover—very glad I found her! She made sure that Bruna was well-entertained and cared for, all while staying on top of her medicine schedule. Gabrielle provided end of day summaries which I really appreciated. Would book with her again!

Cesar and Hoa are wonderful dog sitters who provide a calm and nurturing environment for the dogs. I never worry about "our baby" when she is with them. When we drop Penny off, she is eager to say hello, and gets to practice her canine social skills. Cesar and Hoa are flexible and have accommodated my last minute changes. I highly recommend them.

Paige was an incredible dog sitter for our 4 month old puppy Pepper. This was our first time leaving her and we had to leave for 4 nights, so naturally we were a little nervous but there was no need to be with Paige. Paige was incredibly loving, attentive, and gave so so many text and photo updates which were adorable and so much fun to receive as we were missing Pepper! She took such great care of Pepper and we’d love to book with her again!

Shelley is the absolute best! From the well organized meet and greet before our first stay and the Polly care sheet she made to check she had all of the details, to the photos and videos throughout the stay, to the well timed pick up, this was a very well organized visit. I’d highly recommend Shelley to anyone, she is so focused on making sure the dogs are comfortable and happy. I’m so grateful for the attention she and her husband gave Polly over the past three days and look forward to Polly getting to spend time with them again in the future!
