1. Brian S.
“This was Brian’s second time watching our pups, and he was great as usual! He’s always super quick to respond, which we appreciate. One of our dogs has anxious tendencies and he kept us in the loop the whole time. Thanks, Brian!”


2. Linda Jean F.

“Linda took amazing care of our senior dog, who has medical needs and doesn’t warm up to just anyone—but she absolutely loved Linda. She made sure she was safe, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We got regular updates and pictures, which gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. You can tell Linda truly cares, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”


3. Armando V.

“Armando was great watching Teddy overnight! Followed instructions for his medication & food schedule and took him out regularly. He sent pictures and updates often. I would highly recommend Armando and I will definitely prioritize him as a sitter in the future! Thanks Armando!!”


4. Ami R.

“Ami is the greatest sitter we have ever had on Rover . Not only did she book us at the last moment her care for Stella was more than I could ever imagined. I knew Ami was kind and caring when Stella and I first met her and I am very cautious about using just any sitter. Ami kept us updated with photos and brushed her fur while sitting. Stella actually came back looking better than before I took her to Ami! She is the best and will always be my choice of sitters.”


5. Eleanor M.

“We had an excellent experience with Eleanor and will definitely be using her for all our future dog sitter/boarding needs. Her and her entire family, including her dog Kalvin, are very friendly and kind. She has a large fenced property to give dogs a safe area to play and run around. We did a meet and greet prior to the boarding which put us and our dog at ease. Eleanor was communicative prior to our booking and throughout our dog’s entire stay with her. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and her experience with caring and handling dogs was quite evident as our dog does not do well when away from her family and our home, yet our dog seemed so comfortable with Eleanor. Eleanor is very active and walked our dog multiple times during her short stay, which I know our dog enjoyed! My dog is definitely known for pulling on walks but Eleanor was able to keep her in control and at her side during walks! It was very clear to us that Eleanor showered our dog with love and attention as our dog was happy and at ease when we picked her up. It was a seamless transition when boarding our dog with Eleanor and this has not been our experience with other boarding situations. On a scale of 1 to 5, Eleanor definitely earned a 5 star rating! We are so happy to have found Eleanor who is a trustworthy, qualified pet sitter.”


6. Alex C.

“Alex is great! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but Alex was so kind and helpful. Kado was a happy puppy when I picked him up! I highly recommend him.”


7. Savanah B.

“We can't say enough good things about Savanah, she took excellent care of our pup!! She was very communicative and so good at sending updates. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


8. Holly S.

“Holly was great with my dog Chico. She was very prompt when I asked how he was doing and sent pictures often. No complaints. I would recommend her. Thank u Holly.”




9. Whitney G.

“Whitney was awesome when she looked after my puppy. Got a daily update and the pickup/drop-off was such a time saver. My dog is old and can be picky about her sitters but she came back obviously happy. Thanks :)”


10. Katelyn & Paul P.

“Katelyn and Paul are the best! They took really good care of our boys while we were out of town! This was the first time that we left our boys with a sitter so we were a little nervous. We couldn’t of chosen a better couple! Katelyn and Paul are true dog lovers and we knew they would be in great hands. They also have a really nice and spacious backyard for dogs to enjoy. Overall a great experience! We will definitely use their services again in the future! ❤️?”


11. Rebecca P.

“Very responsive, had to book last minute and she was very accommodating with pick up time/drop off. Received a lot of pictures and videos. Snoopy had a great time!”




12. Gladys W.


“I felt so at ease leaving Benji with Gladys for my vacation. Benji is extremely anxious and he did so well!! This was benjis first time ever being left with a sitter so needless to say I was very anxious as well. 10/10 recommend. Gladys is now my go to for any dog sitting needs. I would recommend her to all of my friends ! Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Benii ?”


13. Natalie & Rubén C.

“Natalie & Ruben were amazing! They treated our puppies just like family and sent loads of pictures and videos to make feel more comfortable. Our puppies loved playing with their kiddos and really enjoyed the big back yard. Please don’t hesitate to choose them as they made our whole experience a great one! Thank you Natalie & Ruben.”


14. Min & Yeong J.

“I left my 8 month old terrier mix pup Penny with Min and her family for 3 days and I couldn't be more happy with how well they treated her. Penny absolutely loved Min and her mother a got along great with Min's other two dogs. I will definitely be leaving Penny with them again if the need arises. Thank you Min for taking such great care of my Penny!”


15. Jason H.

“Jason was fantastic! Our dog is older and takes some additional care, which he went above and beyond to provide. He made the experience easy, sent pictures and kept us up to date. It was the first time we didn’t leave her with a family member, but Jason made us feel like we did with the way he treated her. Great experience!”


16. Valentina C.

“Valentina was fantastic with Sebastian! I felt completely confident leaving Sebastian. She kept me up to date with videos. I would definitely use Valentina in the future.”


17. Anar K.

“Anar took such great care of my dog while I was away. She sent lots of photos and updates and he was so happy! Definitely will book with Anar again!”


18. Robin & Rahn D.

“Thrylos’ stay with Robin was absolutely wonderful. Their home is so cute with a nice backyard that they were able to spend a lot of time in. Robin was also amazing in providing updates throughout the day and ensuring that he doesn’t feel taken care of. Such a sweet and caring couple I couldn’t recommend them more !!”


19. Nancy M.

“Nancy was so awesome! This was my first time leaving my pup for an overnight stay and I’m so glad I chose her. Rufio was so happy to be with her and her family. She sent updates of my little guy throughout his stay. I would 100% recommend her.”




20. Terra H.

“Terra was great. She had constant communication so we knew how our dog was doing the whole visit. Our dog Rex went to the puppy park frequently and had lots of opportunities to socialize. He was happy to see me when I picked him up but immediately fell asleep because he'd be worn out and exercised and obviously had a great puppy vacation - we were so happy! Terra had concern for Rex and took great care of him. We will definitely use Terra again!”
