Angel was super excited to see me and happy as can be when I picked her up, loves to play w her other dogs and even the cats. I will definitely contibue to utilize her service's, Thanks,”
“Denise watched my two dogs for the second time. She’s great, friendly and flexible. Very good trait when traveling cause we got stuck in traffic. She was patient and her flexibility made things easier. My dogs seem they liked staying with Denise.”
“I can’t say how amazing Veronique and her family was to my dogs! I was able to fully relax on my vacation knowing how well my dogs were being taken care of. The pick up and drop off option was such a bonus because my dogs are big and I have trouble getting them into the car, they also arrived right on time. They sent a lot of pictures and updates which I really appreciated and I will definitely re-book again when the time comes. 100% recommend this amazing family.”
“Casey had a great time playing with her new friend, Luna, while we were on vacation for a week. Vanessa sent me updates twice a day of Casey playing with the ball, wrestling with her pal and taking walks around the block. We will definitely be coming for a play date again soon!”
“Delmy was wonderful! I had complete peace of mind while away. When I met her and her family I knew they would treat my Coco baby with care! She sent pictures daily of Coco enjoying the perfect enclosed backyard. I would definitely book Delmy again.”
“I had the absolute best experience with Lindsay K. and can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs pet sitting services! She took care of my two cats for a week while I was in the process of moving, and from the very start (booking on the app) she made everything so easy and completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, flexible, and accommodating with scheduling - which I really appreciated while things were a little hectic on my end. She sent me at least three updates a day, complete with photos and little notes about how they were doing, what they were up to, and how they were eating and behaving. It was so reassuring and honestly a huge relief to know they were being so well looked after. One of my cats acts like she owns the place (any place) and the other is pretty shy and takes a while to warm up to new people. Lindsay easily accommodated their individual personality preferences and silly sibling dynamic so that both cats were clearly getting lots of love and attention every day. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with my scaredy cat that he warmed up quickly and was comfortable and happy in her care. It’s not easy to find someone like Lindsay who is not only reliable and professional, but also genuinely thoughtful and caring when it comes to bonding with pets. I felt completely at ease leaving my cats in her care, and was happy to bring home two very content and well-cared-for kitties. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, look no further — she’s the best! 100/10 stars and would 100% book again the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”
“Catherine and her family and her dogs provided a loving environment for my fur baby. This was the first time he had a sleep over and he seem to do well. She loved him and sent great pictures and updated me to tell me how he was doing. Really made me feel better. All directions were followed to a tea. I would highly recommend Catherine is you need a safe and happy household for your pet! ”
“I highly recommend Dan and Denise! They are the dog whispers of rover.com. So accommodating and their yard is a vacation resort! Our Theo made dog friends and lounged at the pool in comfy lounge chairs. Mind you, he is terrified of water, all 75 lbs of of German Shephwrd mix! We received lots of updates and pictures all weekend! They made us feel like our dog was their only customer. We were able to enjoy our weekend knowing our pup was safe and extremely well taken care of!!! Move over Cesar!”

“Lauren and Howard were absolutely amazing with my dog Brody! From the start, they were incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and made me feel so comfortable leaving Brody in their care. They kept me updated throughout his stay with lots of adorable pictures and messages, which really put my mind at ease. Brody clearly felt right at home with them and was so happy and well-cared for. I can’t recommend Lauren and Howard enough — they truly went above and beyond! I would 100% trust them to watch Brody again.”
“We always feel good leaving Ginger with Eliana. We get great photos and updates and know our puppy is well-taken care for... We highly recommend Eliana!”
“I cannot say enough good things about the care Freedom gave to my senior dog, Chunky. He’s an older dog with some anxiety issues, and Freedom handled him with so much patience, kindness, and calm energy. They went above and beyond. They took him to the dog park not once but twice, made homemade treats, and even gifted him a sweet new bandana. When I came home, I could tell Chunky had been genuinely happy and well cared for. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your pet, but I feel completely at ease leaving Chunky with Freedom anytime. I’m so thankful we found them, and I’ll absolutely be booking again.”
