Madeline is amazing! I have a new puppy (11 weeks old) who I boarded with her overnight. He was very comfortable and happy! She followed all instructions for potty training and feeding. He was very happy and had so much fun. I definitely will be using her again if I need a sitter. Thank you Madeline!

I have officially found the best dog watcher ever. I can’t even say how comforted I felt having Christopher watch our dog. We have had issues with dog watchers before who say they are knowledgeable about dogs when they actually aren’t. Our dog has lots of energy and is also an extensive cuddles, so needs a lot of attention to say the least. Christopher is the first dog watcher we have had that actually understood that. He took our dog for multiple, miles long walks each day, and we were treated to wonderful pictures of our dog having cuddle sessions with Christopher. Our dog was sad, yes sad, when he came home with us because he missed Christopher, which to me is wonderful. It’s a sign that our dog actually got the love and attention we hoped he would have while we were away. We got multiple pictures a day of Marshall and constant updates about how he was. I one hundred percent will be using Christopher again, as he truly is knowledgeable about dogs needs and gives the dogs the love and attention they deserve!

I am so grateful to have come across Donte here on Rover. I have an almost 3 year old Pit mix that I rescued. And Pit's just have a stereotype about them, so most people don't want to watch them. So far, Lola has been with the same boarder, but they are no longer on the Rover app. I came across Donte and he immediately said YES. I was so happy and relieved and particularly excited and grateful that he is a dog trainer, which I made me feel like he could totally handle her. That was a true bonus in my mind. Lola has had training already, but it can take her a moment to warm up. Donte said she did good; I made her sound worse than she really is. I didn't get any videos or pics, so next time, I will request. I like to see her progress. Donte let me know that Lola got to play with his dog; glad she got to interact with another dog. She needs that. Donte was very flexible as I requested to add on another nite for him to keep Lola. All in all, I am very pleased with his services. Donte lives not too far from me, so that's an even added bonus. I will most denitely use Donte's services again and highly recommend him. Thank you Donte for the great care.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Oliver’s sitters and can’t recommend them highly enough. They were amazing about communication and sent daily updates, plenty of pictures, and even fun Instagram stories showing how Oliver’s day was going. It was so reassuring to see how happy and engaged he was the whole time. They always let me know when the dogs were heading out on fun field trips and made sure Oliver was included, which I really appreciated. When my flight was delayed several days due to a snowstorm, they were incredibly flexible and happy to accommodate Oliver for the extended stay. They even went above and beyond by making sure he had extra food when his ran out a bit early because of the delay. The entire team was wonderful, and it was clear Oliver had the best time he was so happy with all of his dog friends that he didn’t even want to leave when it was time to come home. We will absolutely be booking with them again. Highly, highly recommend!
