10. Linda K.

“Our dog Anfi is a shy and very anxious girl. We’re usually unable to leave the house without her due to her separation anxiety, but thanks to Linda that’s no longer the case! Linda has been so amazing. She has treated Anfi with much love and care, and we are so appreciative of that! We look forward to many more day care and boarding stays with Linda!”

“Jo & Adam were great with Odessa. She had a wonderful time, and came home tuckered out and content. They communicated often & quickly, and are exceedingly nice and accommodating!”


12. Patrick G.

“"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."”


13. Emma L.

“Emma and Reese are so good with Sky. Sky likes a chill environment and I can tell their home is just that. Sky has stayed with them a few times now. See you again soon!”


14. Phillipa M.

“If I could give a 10-star rating I would! Phillipa (and Mark) took wonderful care of my pooch. So attentive and kind and communicative. I always new my dog was safe and happy and getting plenty of exercise. Thanks Phillipa!”


15. Tyler S.

“Tyler was such a wonderful sitter. He provided timely updates and accommodated my drop-off and pick-up times. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable sitter.”




16. Wanda R.

“Wanda was great! Our back-to-town flightly was delayed quite a lot. She was very thoughtful and flexitble with time. Our dog seems very happy!”


17. Kaitlyn D.

“Kaitlyn was incredible! Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!”


18. Todd V.

“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”


19. Michelle C.

“Michelle took great care of Stella and sent us lots of pictures and updates. It's easy to see how affectionate and caring she is with dogs. Also, when out return flight was delayed, she was flexible about adjusting our pick-up time.”


20. Winn C.
