5. Britanny B.
“Brittany and her team are the tops! Daily videos and photos chronicled the stimulating experience they gave Jazz — socialization, great exercise, and loads of family love. Jazz came home calm, clean, more fit, and asking how soon I’d be outa town so she could return! Thanks for the peace of mind and superb doggie care! See you again soon. Sheryl and Jazz”

8. Nickimmy H.
“Nickimmy was great-totally recommend. She was super responsive when communicating about a nd treated Milo like he was her own family pet. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave Milo with someone new to him, as we are anxious pet parents, but we both felt immediately comfortable leaving Milo in Nickimmy’s care. She provided frequent pictures and check ins, lots of walks and time outside, and she even comforted him when he woke up in the middle of the night howling bc he missed us! We will definitely leave Milo with Nickimmy again and can’t recommend her and her sweet family enough.”
9. Bianca G.
“Bianca was awesome with Pepper! She sent pics a few times a day and made sure Pepper stayed active playing with other pups and taking her on long walks.”
10. Ruth J.
“Ruth was the absolute best!!! This was my first time using Rover and from our initial meet up I knew Sadie would be in great care. This was my first time leaving Sadie for 5 days out of state and I was definitely nervous about it but Ruth made it so easy! She sent videos and pictures throughout my trip and was consistent with communication. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
11. Josh A.
“This was our second stay with Josh and we had another great experience! He sent regular updates and I was never concerned about about the dogs well being. He’s the best!”
12. Araceli & Uciel C.
“Araceli is an amazing pet sitter! Our little guy can be grumpy & challenging at times, but Araceli was so patient & caring with him! We are so thankful to have found someone who understands the quirks of small dogs!!”
13. Maggie L.
“Maggie was great, she was super flexible and understanding! I’ve never left my dog with anyone before but I felt so at ease with Maggie’s updates and the friendliness of both her & her dog Moose with my boy Cody! Definitely recommend and will book with her again if needed in the future.”
14. Melisa M.
“My dog had a great time. Because she is/was an anxiety prone rescue of 8 months, I was worried she would become very nervous again. But she was very happy. Melissa's back yard is great and I am sure that was one reason my small dog was so happy. And Melissa is very accommodating.”
15. Jazriel C.
“Thank you so much for watching all 3 of our fur babies for those 6 nights while we were on vacation. We were skeptical at first since it was the first time using this app and leaving them for so long but it turned out great. Jazriel was very sweet and kind and responded quickly to see how they were doing. Great experience. Thank you”
16. Sean & Jill O.
“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”

19. Angela & Tommy P.
“I'm so happy I found Angela (khanh) and Tommy before traveling halfway around the globe. After our meet and greet I knew I could relax on vacation knowing my pup was in good hands. Angela has that motherly instinct for all dogs big and small, and Tommy is an experienced dog groomer. I got picture and video updates everyday, I felt like my dog was at summer camp and she would never want to come home! I know she got lots of love and exercise and she will be coming back again.”
