“Thank you, Amy, for welcoming Benny Bears into your home and making him part of your family during his stay. My fur baby loved spending time with her son. Walks, & hanging out with Amy on the couch. Amy is great with clear communication, sending pictures, and making his stay feel like home. Bent is looking forward to his next stay! If this is your 1st time using Rover, highly recommend using Amy. As a 1st time user, Amy was the best choice for me and Benny Bears. Thank you so much! Blessed I found you! 🙏🐾🐾”

14. Christopher N.
“Always so thankful for Christopher! He takes great care of Rocco and it gives me such peace of mind when I have to leave him behind on a long trip :)”
15. Jiawei L.
“Jiawei went above and BEYOND taking care of our furry baby over the weekend - Prompt responses, excellent communication, lots of videos and photos - Brushed our golden doodles chronically matting hair — she came back softer than she’s ever been -Jiawei clearly very experienced with dogs. Our dog came back so happy after a fun weekend with Jaiwei and his golden doodle. Had lots of walks and time to run at the park. - Very flexible: we had an early flight with an early drop off which was no problem at all. Then, our flight was delayed multiple hours and we weren’t able to pick up our dog until very late. Jiawei was kind, never made us feel bad about the delay, and was overall so supportive and took great care of Jiawei. Couldn’t recommend enough!”
16. May T.
“I believe my pup, Gatsby, has met his new best friend! Their dog, Pepper, comforts the fur guests so they feel very safe and relaxed in the new environment. The top two priorities for the owners, right? I'm definitely going to reach out to May again!”
17. Darcey J.
“My second time booking with Darcey! Pet parents of reactive dogs know how challenging it can be to find someone to dogsit - I hadn’t been on a family vacation in years because I was unaware such patient people like Darcey existed. I have a small dog who is moderately reactive to strangers and other dogs out of trauma. In the first 24 hours of staying in an unknown place, he will lightly nip at people who get too close too fast or at dogs who get right up in his face, and we understandably got turned down a couple of times by other sitters. I breathed a sigh of relief once I read Darcey had reactive dog experience and this knowledge helped her (and her partner) understand Oreo really well. That first day, they gave him the space and time he needed to realize that he was in safe arms and by the next morning they were buds! I’m so glad Oreo has found other human friends :).”
18. Ann A.
“Ann took great care of our dog Reagan while we were traveling back east. She was very communicative and flexible…especially when our flight home was delayed. We will definitely be booking Ann’s services again!”
19. Linda M.
“Lina is AMAZING! She takes such wonderful care of our dog who feels right at home with her. And her updates and photos are a delight and reassurance for the whole family.”
20. Brandy Y.
“Brandy took really good care of our Joey. Trceived great updates and cute pics! Made me feel confident he was doing well while i was gone. Thank you!”
