“Zwany and Leandro took absolutely fantastic care of our two dogs Cooper and Maddie! They provided us with daily updates and lots of great photos to show how great the two pups were doing. We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!”


“Barbara was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and made sure my dog felt comfortable staying with her. Barbara sent plenty of pictures which reassured me my dog was in good hands. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave! I would 100% recommend Barbara and will be trusting my dog in her hands again in the future.”


“Angela and her partner were amazing with my puppy Clementine!! She was very quick with responses throughout and sent great updates. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for great care while away.”


“So happy we went with Victoria for our pup. He can be high energy, but she was great with him when we met up initially. We got lots of pictures throughout the week of his walks and resting comfortably inside. Best of all, he was happy and silly when we picked him up, a great sign that he was comfortable and happy all week. 100% will use again. It's so much less stressful to travel when we know pup is in good hands.”


“Dohwee made my dog feel so at home and made me feel so at ease with continuous updates throughout the day and along with pictures. I would recommend. Dohwee 10 out of 10 time!! I was at first time user and my dog has separation anxiety, but my dog fell right at home.”


“Alix was amazing! She looked after Loki and took care of his special needs, she was friendly and caring. Will definitely seek her again when we need dog sitting support again.”

“Rachel took such good care of our dog Jax and provided plenty of updates and photographs. We will definitely ask her to watch Jax again and would highly recommend!”


“Yizi responded quickly when I was looking for a last minute Rover. Her communication was top notch from start to finish. She truly cared about my dog, Chunk, and took excellent care of him. She sent many photos and videos, which helped me feel at ease being away for so long. I would recommend Yizi to anyone looking for a Rover, unless it’s when Chunk needs another visit!”


“I am very glad I found John, as he was such a caring & attentive & calm sitter for slightly anxious dog. He gave routine updates & pictures to keep me informed of how things were going, & I can tell my dog had a very comfortable stay. I will definitely be booking John again!”


“Jordan was absolutely fantastic! She treated Addie like she was her own! We were so happy that we booked our next boarding the same day we picked Addie up from this one!”


“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”


“Anna is an exceptional dog sitter. She is a true dog whisperer - very sensitive to my dog's needs. Pippi has a wonderful time with her and the other dogs in her care. She's the best!”


“"I cannot recommend Patrick enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we confirmed our reservation with him, I knew we were in good hands. As a first-time user of Rover, I had my fair share of concerns, but Patrick quickly alleviated them with his professionalism and attentiveness. While my son was primarily looking after our dog during our vacation, he had to leave for a work trip before our return. Patrick's location was a blessing in disguise, as it was incredibly convenient for my son to drop off our beloved nine-year-old Portuguese water dog, Kismet, on his way to the airport. Upon our arrival back home, we were able to pick up Kismet directly on our route home with the help of an Uber, thanks to Patrick's thoughtful planning. Throughout the entire process, Patrick was accommodating, reassuring, and truly went above and beyond to ensure Kismet's well-being and our peace of mind. It was evident that Kismet was well cared for and content in Patrick's care. Without a doubt, I will not hesitate to entrust Patrick with Kismet's care again in the future. His dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make him a standout dog sitter, and I am grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring individual to look after our furry family member. Thank you, Patric, for your exceptional service and for providing us with peace of mind during our time away."”


“Tae was available on short notice to keep my baby during a family trip. She sent tons of pics and updates which I very much appreciated and my baby seemed to very much enjoy herself during her stay with Tae! Would definitely recommend her taking care of anyone’s sweet fur babies! Her dog, Udon, was so cute and sweet as well!”


“Rachel was great in taking my dog at last minute. She sent pics of my baby every day and offered to even FaceTime if I wanted to. She was also great in being flexible for a pickup time as there were no reservations for the time we wanted to return.”


“Nate provided daily pictures and updates, asked all the right questions and listened as I shared my doggo’s triggers/stressors. I felt super comfortable with Sammy being there and was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. Highly recommend”


“We left Leo with Megan for nearly two weeks during our wedding/honeymoon. It was a long time to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know and we were nervous. Megan quickly calmed all our nerves by sending so many pictures and be very communicative. We’re so happy we decided to go with Megan and will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“This was Sandy's first time meeting Ziggy and the two seemed to get along famously. My pup seemed relaxed and well taken care of. And Sandy sent me a group of photos after she had him for a few hours. I'd be totally comfortable leaving him with her over night or for a shorter stay.”


“They are such a sweet couple and they took great care of my dog for the weekend! Sent lots of pics and updates, checked in as questions came up, and even gave her homemade treats! Would definitely book with them again.”
