“We had a wonderful experience with Rachel and her family. She watched our princess, Demi from June 9th - 13th and sent me pictures and text on a daily basis. She also responded to text in a timely matter. We were so happy that we booked with Rachel again for the end of June. She is very committed and recommend her for all your pet sitting needs.”
“Margarita provided a very comfortable environment for Rambo. Her love of animals can easily be felt. Margarita sent daily videos of Rambo looking very much at ease in her home. We will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Jesse is amazing and I feel so grateful to have found him! Our 4 year old labradoodle felt at home from the moment we walked into Jesse’s home and Jesse cared for him as if our Cody was a part of his family, with so much love and attention. Jesse was a great communicator and updated me throughout the day with messages and pictures of Cody and his activities during the day. I had such a peace of mind knowing that Cody was so well cared for while we were away. I will definitely be using Jesse again!!”
“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”
“A A+ experience. My dog is an 2 year old extremely hyper rough playing Schnoodle. Was very nervous if Jenny could handle him with this being the first time he was left with a stranger for 2 days and his rough puppy age personality. I was amazed when i received multiple texts updating me how well he was doing and how well he reacted to her two little boys. Sometimes the intelligence of a dog is questioned, however, I know they all can detect an environment that is tense or without any sense of love. Based on the way our Baxter’s behavior was right the beginning, its speaks for itself. This was a great relief for us knowing we have place where he could go in the future where he’s happy and treated the same as if he’s with us.”
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
“Bertha was nice she sent photos to keep me sane and so I knew my little pup was ok. He was super tired when he got home, so I know he had tons of fun playing. We will definitely have her pupsit for us again!”
“Karina and her family were absolutely amazing with my baby pup Max. They sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing while we were gone. I would definitely use them again. Latoyya”
“Leo had an amazing time with Ginnette. She cared for him like he was her own baby and shared so many updates throughout the day which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend her!!”
About: Does your dog bark at invisible intruders, get the zoomies at random times of the day, or act like you’ve abandoned them forever when you leave for 5 minutes? Same. I’m Amber—a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to an Italian Greyhound who keeps me laughing (and on my toes) every single day. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly because I meet them right where they are at. I know first hand what it’s like to care for dogs with big personalities, and I have a knack for helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m the fun human friend your pup never knew they needed. I’ll be their hype woman, adventure buddy, and professional snuggle supplier while you’re away. I’m just getting started on Rover, so please give me a chance to show you and your pup how much care, patience, and fun I bring to every walk, playtime, and cuddle session. LOOK NO FURTHER—IF DOGS COULD SWIPE RIGHT, I’D BE A MATCH. I’m an early riser, I start my day around 5 a.m. My work hours are 7 to 3, but I am available for walks or visits before and afterwards. When off the clock, I’m either adventuring with my sidekick or chilling at home. No kiddos or partner so I have plenty of flexibility and free time to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness whether I’m at their home or mine. In their own space, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs they have—to help them feel secure and relaxed. If pets come to my home, I create a calm, welcoming environment with plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and lots of attention to make them feel right at home. I always communicate with owners to understand their pet’s personality, preferences, and any health or behavior concerns so I can tailor my care to each pet..
“Leslie did a wonderful job watching our two small dogs (a mini-poodle and a bichon) for a nine-day vacation. She followed all our detailed requests (about food, etc), kept in frequent contact, and sent us lots of pictures. It was pretty clear that our dogs were well-pampered during their stay, and possibly did not want to leave! We will use Leslie again unhesitatingly in the future.”
“I can't say enough good things about Bhavani. From the moment we walked in, I felt completely at ease. Bhavani took the time to learn about my dog's routine and preferences, which gave me real peace of mind. Her house was spacious, and full of toys for the furry babies and her kids were so friendly and played with Astro. I loved getting daily photo and video updates and seeing my baby happy and being well-cared-for. When I picked him up, he was calm and happy. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog now. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe and loving experience.”
“Yvette took care of our dog who normally gets very sad when we leave her and had a great stay with Yvette!! Yvette sent us plenty of pics and updates and videos during the 3 weeks she stayed with her and it was so nice to constantly be in touch. Our dog adjusted extremely quickly and I know all of her needs were met and then some. Yvette goes the extra mile to ensure great care and you can tell she really has the dog's best interest always in mind. I cannot recommend highly enough!!”
“Jiamin and her husband are great hosts. She offered a meet and greet which was very helpful. Ringo is 16 and has some senior issues. She never wavered about his needs and in fact was more inquisitive about what he would need. She sends lots of pictures and videos. Her dog is very friendly and active and was a great companion for Ringo. When we picked him up he seemed very at ease and happy. We would definitely trust her to care for Ringo again!”
