“Liz and Earl were great. They have a very clean home and care deeply for the animals they take care of. Liz was great with taking time to meet Otis and get to know him so he was comfortable before we went on vacation. We received lots of videos and pictures.”
“Our pups had such a fun stay!! They are all tuckered out and very happy, I could tell how happy they were in the daily photo updates, which I really appreciated while out of town. We will definitely be booking another stay!”
“Lisa and Charlie are fantastic! They were very accommodating and I could tell Jax warmed right up to them! Pictures and communications were great - I strongly recommend using them to take care of your pup!”
“Kym and Glen were kind enough to take Winnie at the last minute for me. They went above and beyond to make Winnie comfortable and happy for her first visit. They have a perfect dog friendly set up as a Rover.com dog. Both of them love dogs very much. Winnie slept with them and really enjoyed her visit. There is nothing like the personal touch. Thank you Kym and Glen for being so good at caring for our pets! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a great place to leave their furr babies. Susan and Winnie”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth were great! I was pretty worried about leaving my 6 mo puppy with a sitter for the first time ever, but they kept me updated (with pics!) and were very attentive to my little guy’s needs. He even whined when we drove away after I picked him up so I know he had a great time! I would definitely recommend.”
“Ranae is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat client. She was very good at making sure our baby was comfortable and happy. She also checked in with me at least once per day, with photos, to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her.”
“Ms lisbeth was an amazing puppy sitter! My baby boy Jax had so much fun & was in amazing care. She kept me updated & sent many pictures & videos each day! I was definitely comfortable with the stay. Please book with her you won’t regret it!”
“Linda was a wonderful sitter for my 1 year old Cockapoo. I was a little nervous about finding a sitter when we moved in September. Thanks to Rover and Linda I found a way to be comfortable about leaving my baby. After having a meet and greet with Linda, I was sure that I found the right person. I was happy when she advised me during the day and sent cute pictures. It made my weekend away so much better knowing my puppy was well taken care of.”
“Eve was very sweet and caring with our dog. She had great communication and gave updates without us having to ask. She also kept a close eye on our dog who was recovering from a paw infection. Will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Nancy is an excellent dog sitter. She takes such great care of our pup, Koah. Her home is relaxing and quiet and he gets all the snuggles he could ever ask for when he's with Nancy.”
“Joan was PERFECT for our little girl Bella, we usually never leave our dog behind but we had to this time and Joan made us feel completely at ease! She even slept on the couch with her each night so she wouldn't be scared!! She sent us lots of pictures and took her on walks twice a day, she was able to spend whatever time she wanted in Joan's beautiful fenced yard or hang inside with Joan as she works from home which made us feel even better about leaving her as we knew she would be getting lots of pets and attention. Thanks Joan for making our trip more comfortable knowing she was well taken care of!!”
“I recommend her 100%! She took care of Oviler with so much love and passion. Oliver was happy with her and she sent me pictures and updates frequently. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Care and Communication** I cannot recommend Audrey and Karson highly enough! They provided outstanding care for Cairo during our time away, and their communication throughout the entire experience was truly exceptional. The peace of mind that comes from such excellent communication cannot be overstated. As a pet parent, knowing exactly how your furry family member is doing while you’re away is invaluable. We will definitely be booking with Audrey and Karson again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to other pet owners looking for reliable, caring, and communicative pet care. **Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Cairo!**”
“Nicholas was awesome with Zeus. For the 2-1/2 weeks we were gone he kept us infor.ed and sent pictures frequently. I realized the day after we left that I had missed Zeus' heart worm protection and Nicholas went out of his way to pick up a dose at my vet. We highly recommend Nicholas and will absolutely use his services again”
“Stacia and her family were Extremely great with our Roxy. She was very informative and kept us updated constantly on Roxy, she sent lots of pics, her dogs got along great with ours. We felt very comfortable and safe with Roxy in her care. We will definitely be booking her in the future for our trips away.”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”

Gabrielle is fantastic! She took over the care of our dog at the last minute due to an unforeseen situation. She sent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day. She took care of him as though he were her own pet or child. In fact, I am not sure he was ready to leave! She gave him a bath just before we picked him up. He went on multiple walks throughout the day. He was never left alone (she works from home). And her place is spacious, particularly the terrace! I will definitely use her again!! Best service we have ever had!
Alexandria & Diego G were fantastic! Alexandria was very responsive and sent pictures and updates when I asked about the puppies. They were well taken care of, and their children were so well trained to handle them and good with my little guys as well! I would 100% trust them and go to them again if needed! We all (especially Nico and Nubi) thank them so very much!!
This was my first time with Stacia and I am more than pleased with her care. Annie had so much fun playing with her new best friend and I know this because Stacia sent me videos every day. Stacia also sent photos if her. I definitely recommend Stacia for caring for your dog. Annie can't wait to go back!!!!
We live on a boat, so it’s always a little nerve-wracking finding new sitters everywhere we dock but Kym and Glenn were absolutely wonderful! I can’t say enough good things about them. They welcomed Marley into their home like she was part of their family. Their sweet pups, Daisy and Toby, were great companions, and it was clear Marley felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. Kym and Glenn sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful to have found them and would absolutely trust them with Marley again. Highly recommend!
Adelyn was nothing short of amazing! Had to book a sitter last minute for an emergency vacation and Adelyn was very understanding and accommodating throughout the stay. She went above and beyond and truly cared for him as if he was her own. Updated me with plenty of pics and videos, and at peace with my pet in a time of chaos. Thankful to have found her and have a sitter for the future that’ll provide excellent care!
