“Having to leave your dog is tough but when you leave them with a family like this one, your mind is instantly put at ease! They loved on our girl like she was family and sent us picture updates every day!!! We will 100% book with them again!”

“Cynthia made sure my fairly anxious dog, Obi, was well cared for! This is the first time I’ve left him with someone he doesn’t know, so I was worried at first. But Cynthia kept me updated the whole time I was gone and her pictures and quick updates made me feel so much better about being away from Obi!”

“Aly was great and Rory had an amazing time! She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated on her the whole time. She was also super flexible when our flight got delayed and we had to pick her up late. All around wonderful experience!”

“Dana is our go-to when it comes to care for our pup and this our third or fourth time using her and the longest we’ve been away from our guy! We got daily pupdates and he had a great time with his daily long walks and spending time outside. We all love Dana!”

“Magda and Chris were amazing. So kind and caring with Mogi. Magda sent me regular check ins that showed how comfortable Mogi was with them. It was great knowing that Mogi was safe and happy during my weekend away.”

“Paige was great with our senior little dog. In addition to providing a safe and welcoming (temporary) home for our Ruthy. She provided regular updates w/pictures and even gave us a homemade holiday treat at pick up. We appreciate her prompt responses, welcoming atmosphere and safe environment. She helped take a lot of the stress out of holiday travel.”

“Lina and her family were so excited to have our kitten cookie for a few days while on vacation. She was informative and sent pictures of cookie while on vacation. Playtime with her kiddos was her favorite! They loved her and will be booking again in the future.”

“Katina took amazing care of our dog Molly while we were away for a week. We received daily updates and photos. Molly had a wonderful time going on walks and to the dog park as well as playing with Katina’s cute little dog. Katina is very honest, accommodating and easy to communicate with. She was very sweet with Molly and you can tell she is a true animal lover. We will definitely have Molly stay again in the future!”
“I have to be very picky when choosing sitters as one pup has separation anxiety and will not stay with just anyone. I have had many issues with past sitters being dishonest and not following my guidance but I HIGHLY recommend Tanine!!! I have two very high energy pups (golden doodle and lab). She kept me updated, good and bad, and made sure to give my pup his meds with enough time for them to be effective prior to crating. She ensured to make them as comfortable as possible through the day and I truly appreciate her level of care. I specifically chose her due to the training background and I am so glad I followed through though there were not many reviews. I did not have to ask for pictures or updates throughout. She has small children that seem to love dogs so I know my pups received comfort as they love children. She is a gem! To have the patience and be willing to work with us through his anxiety is not something you find in all Rover sitters. Glad to have finally found a permanent option!”

“Another wonderful experience with Charity as our pet sitter! I never have concerns when Finn is with her, she cares for him as though he is her dog. Thank you Charity, you are the best!!”

“Nathan was wonderful! I booked last minute for the whole weekend. He was eager to help. My Yorkiepoo Kili liked him off the bat! Nathan gave updates everyday, sent pictures, and even gave him a complimentary bath! Will definitely book him again. Thank you Nathan!”

“Kara was easy to work with and flexible with drop off and pick up times. She truly enjoys dogs and cats, and her dog Bandit got along great with Fritz. I will be booking again with her.”

“Paula is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter :) we left our puppy in her care for a week and have also dropped him off for daycare many times. She always provides detailed information about his day and even has offered suggestions/adjustments about behavior modification if needed.”

“Svitlana really knows dogs. She walked my dog and sent pics and got to know her quirks quickly. Svitlana also continued with the same house rules we use at home. I will definitely have Pi stay with her again!”


“Hope did a wonderful job taking care of Bella. She has a nice fenced backyard and sent me photo updates of Bella during the week. I felt confident that Bella was in good hands and I would leave her again with Hope.”

“Fantastic experience, Jennifer’s frequent updates and pictures allowed us to be able to relax and enjoy our vacation. Her dog Charlotte and our puppy played well together. Our puppy keeps asking to go back. Totally will use Jennifer again, and highly recommend her.”

“Another wonderful stay with Scott and Sarah! They are terrific dog sitters - so kind and friendly and our two energetic dogs love to run around the woods with them!”
