“Cyndi & Paul are awesome! Took great care of my dog while she was boarding in their home. They sent me plenty of updates and pictures to make sure I knew how she was doing! Would absolutely recommend”
“The feedback I received from Paloma was great. The start of the scheduled pickup time was a little nerve racking, I scheduled a 8:00 PM pickup and no response until after 12:00 AM. My daughter said I was scammed and that was my biggest fear, but when I received the text message from Paloma I felt a little better and she reduced the fee. She picked Juicey up and I really felt better she would be cared for while I was away. Thank you for the care for my fur baby”
“As the helicopter cat-parent of an older pet, I was very nervous about Doxy's debut boarding experience, but from my first call with Steven, his calm certainty and kind demeanor put me at ease. After I was on my trip, he sent photos and videos every day, providing further assurance that my stinky old lady was comfortable and doing well. I enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for an attentive caretaker and will be requesting him again to watch my future cats.”
“Maria good very good care of my Sasha during an extended stay over the holidays. Maria is responsible, caring, and communicative. Will be using her again!”
“Flora is the best! My dog always has the best time under her care and is so excited to see her. She is an excellent communicator and I always trust that my pet is in great hands. Thank you Flora!”
“THE BEST dog sitters! Our pup stayed with them for only one night and we received many updates and pictures. Super responsive and kind! 100% would recommend!”
“This is my first time using a dog sitter and I was very impressed with the quality of care and attention provided by Ninoska for my little one. Shes truly a GEM... I appreciate the fact that she sent me videos to update me during my puppy's stay.....nice touch.. I would definitely recommend Ninoska to anyone who is looking for a professional and friendly dog sitter.”
“So happy that we found Binny to care for Zeus while we were away! She provided regular daily updates/photos at least twice a day. When Zeus had a bit of anxiety/sleeplessness about being in a new environment, Binny let me know and resolved to make him more comfortable by creating a designated quiet/sleeping area for him. I really appreciate her attentiveness in caring for Zeus and would highly recommend her!”
“Onelsis is truly the best dog sitter! We left our sweet Pearl in her care for three weeks and felt completely at ease the entire time. From day one, Onelsis treated Pearl like she was her own—showering her with love, attention, and care. The communication was incredible! We received multiple photo updates throughout the day, plus a detailed summary each evening about Pearl’s activities, meals, and moods. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Pearl was happy, healthy, and thriving while we were away. When we returned, Pearl was calm, joyful, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious she felt safe and loved every single day. We are forever grateful to Onelsis for the amazing care and compassion she poured into our fur baby. We could not recommend her more highly!”
“We had such a great experience with Suzie. She took amazing care of our dog, Buzzy, while we were away. From the start, communication was clear and reassuring. She sent updates and photos about how he was doing, which really put us at ease. We’re so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and caring. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”
“Roman was an incredible host and I felt incredibly comfortable throughout our time away. He took our golden retriever on multiple long walks each day, snuggled with him and kept me informed every day of their adventures. I highly recommend Roman and very happy to be a positive reference for him.”
“Christina and Nick are awesome sitters! Our dog stayed with them for several days and we can tell he was extremely well cared for. Christina sends lots of updates and photos, which made me feel so much more comfortable being away from my pup. She’s super responsive, understanding, and caring. Couldn’t recommend enough and will definitely use her for dog sitting again in the future!”
“This was my first time leaving Garci with someone. Enis made it easy and anxiety free by sending me lots of pictures of Garci looking relaxed and well-cared for. Thanks, Enis!”
“Keunyung sent me regular updates with lots of photos which I really appreciated. She even sent me a schedule of when my dog ate and went out. It was very kind of her to make dog treats for her on the holidays. I would highly recommend her.”
“Christina took wonderful care of my pet, Koffee, for the day. Koffee can be a little nervous at first, but he warmed up quickly thanks to the patient, gentle attention he received. I really appreciate the regular updates and photos—they gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Christina and contact her for any needs in the future.”
“So happy we found Nicole to watch our dog Ollie! She couldn’t have been better - he got lots of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles! We can’t wait to book her again!”

This was my first Rover experience and it could not have been better. Ashley sent photos of my dog throughout my trip away, so I was never worried. Ashley was incredible, attentive, and so communicative. I would definitely reccomend this service, as well as Ashley, to anyone!
This was my first time using a dog sitter, so naturally I was pretty nervous about leaving my dog, Leo. However, all of those worries disappeared as soon as I dropped him off. Leo felt right at home from the start, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Enis was great about keeping me updated throughout the stay, and when I asked for a few extra photos and videos to ease my mind, he was more than happy to provide them. It was reassuring to know Leo was being well cared for and comfortable. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to book with Enis again. Highly recommended!
Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog and you can tell she genuinely cares. My dog loved her, and her space was so clean and welcoming. She kept me updated with photos and was always quick to respond, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be booking with her again.
We cannot say enough amazing things about Katya! We have a rescue dog who was previously abused and is extremely anxious — especially around new people. As you can imagine, we were just as anxious leaving her for the first time. Katya went above and beyond to make all of us feel comfortable. She sent multiple updates and pictures every single day, which really eased our minds. It was clear from the photos that our girl felt safe and cared for. She took her on lots of walks, was patient with her anxiety, and made sure she received her medication exactly as instructed. That level of attentiveness meant everything to us. If you have a nervous or special-needs pup, Katya is someone you can absolutely trust. We are so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again!
I had a great experience and felt very comfortable boarding Eevee with Endre. He sent photos and videos everyday, and it was clear that she was well cared for. Over the weekend, there was also a snowstorm and still he brought her out for walks and to enjoy playing in the snow! I really appreciate the extra effort and attentiveness, especially given the tough weather. Thank you!
Exceptional care for your furry family members and peace of mind for pet parents. We could not be more pleased with the care our dog received from Heather. From start to finish, it was clear that he was in excellent hands. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog returned to us happy, relaxed, safe, and healthy—clear signs of thoughtful and compassionate care. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
