“Diane was amazing. I have two small Maltese dogs with separation anxiety, so I was very nervous about leaving them. From the moment we met, she made me feel at ease. She welcomed them into her home and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, safe, and confident. It was a wonderful experience, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I’m already booking with her again for future stays. Highly recommend!”


“Claire was wonderful with Hazel (older dog) and Sam (older cat). This was the first time we used a pet care service and we were very fortunate to find Claire. She is thoughtful, kind, skilled with dogs and cats, and an excellent communicator. Hazel can be reactive to other dogs on walks; Claire was familiar with the ractive dogs and managed it with well. She also messaged us once a day while we were away with details and pictures. We have already booked with Claire again.”

“Poko had a wonderful time with Noor and her family! I received daily pic/video updates which I really appreciated. They are super attentive to detail as well. Highly recommend!”

“Melika was extremely communicative. She gave great updates and sent lots of wonderful pictures. She was able to take care of my dog's medical needs while I was away, giving me peace of mind. I'll definitely book with her again!”

“Makda and her family were wonderful! Luna took to them right away and she looked so happy and calm in the photos they sent. I get really nervous whenever Luna isn't with me, but I'm so, so glad we've found Makda and her family. Thank you so much!”

“We had a great experience boarding with Janelle! She and her fiancé took good care of our dog, who can be a rather anxious pup. We look forward to boarding him with them again!”

“Otis had a GREAT time with Amalia! Got lots of outside play time and was super comfortable around her (although he’s normally shy around new people). She sent updates regularly and was flexible with our last minute change in schedule.”

“Had a really great experience with Susan watching my 2 dogs. We did a meet and greet in advance and my dogs got along great with Isla. She was very accommodating of my dog with anxious behaviors and even their walking styles/activity levels. I felt very comfortable while I was away and got daily updates and photos! Will absolutely be booking again next time I’m away. Thank you Susan!”

“Chad did a great job looking after my boy Ozzie while I was on a quick work trip. He was extremely flexible when my flight and bag got delayed. Overall, a great experience having him watch my pup!”


“Outstanding experience for my two doodles! Lauren did a fantastic job of acclimating my two dogs to the new space and their new friends. She sent frequent updates detailing how they were doing as well. Would recommend to any doodle owner in the area!”

“the absolute best! we left our puppy for around two weeks for the first time and they took wonderful care of her! our dog absolutely loved her time there and she looked so happy during boarding! if you’re looking for a pet-sitter book here!! thank u again!!!”

“Myriam and her family were patient and loving with my senior dog for overnight boarding. They really made her feel comfortable and cared for, and sent me good updates and photos. I would definitely book with Myriam again!”

“We used to leave our dog at a large dog boarding place when traveling, and she would be grouped with so many different dogs that I can tell she was traumatized and often took days to be back to her normal carefree self (and she would have dog drooling all over her). This time under Nancyanne’s care our dog was able to stick to a routine similar to at home, and I can tell she was quite comfortable and after 9 days it was seamless that her demeanor was like she never left home. We would happily recommend Nancyanne to anyone who needs help.”

“Janette and Charles are the greatest. We were anxious about leaving our dog with a new sitter while on vacation for a week, but based on the daily photos and videos they shared with us, our dog Stevie had a terrific time. Stevie enjoyed playing in their huge fenced in yard with other dogs and snoozing on the couch after running around all day. Janette and Charles took great care of our fur baby and we will be sure to book with them again soon.”

“Diana and Scott were the perfect match for Kimi - who absolutely had a blast for the two weeks we were away. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for, like Kimi was their own. Everyday updates, videos and photos made our extended absence manageable, and I will absolutely be booking them for future needs. You can be assured your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I’m so grateful.”

“Remi had a great time with John and Ryan and they updated me with pictures every day! She came back sleepy and content. I'll definitely have her stay with them again if I go out of town!”


“Meredith is wonderful! She was communicative, attentive, and caring to my sweet fur baby! She also sent lots of pics. Charly came home happy (and exhausted)! We will certainly be booking Meredith for future stays!”
“Great Communication! I asked for updates daily and I was provided photos of my pug along with a little summary about how her day went. My dog was taken great care of and she came back with a wagging tail. I’d ask Emile to care for her again!”

“I had such a great experience with Marija! She took amazing care of my dog Bochok while i was away. I really appreciated how she kept me updated with messages and photos so i knew Bochok was happy and safe. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

Jennifer took care of our exuberant shepherd mix for a week while we were out of town. She was always communicative and flexible with dropoff and pickup. We never had any worries and he always is excited to visit Jennifer. We will definitely book with her again. Thank you, Jennifer!

Cheri was INCREDIBLY AWESOME!!!! Niky was exceptionally well taken care of. Can't recommend her enough. Niky has a bunch of medicine needs and is an older senior dog so she needs a little extra care. Cheri was amazing about it all. Will have her watch Niky again soon!! Great experience.

Paul was fantastic with our sheepadoodle, Shibobo! Shibobo can be handful given his large size and energy, but Paul was quick to get to know him and learn how to manage his quirks. Paul was a great communicator and sent us regular updates. Overall, we are so pleased to have found Paul and highly recommend him! We look forward to having him watch Shibobo again soon.

Can not recommend Pavita enough!!! She gave my husband and I such peace of mind that our pup was getting the best care while we were away on our trip. She sent lots of updates, photos, videos and she genuinely cares for your dog. Thank you again Pavita, will be going to her again for future dog sitting care!!

Tony was so good with my puppy Jolie! Although Jolie is the sweetest girl, she can also be very timid & nervous at first. Tony took the time to get Jolie comfortable and earn her trust during her first time away from her parents. Tony also sent us updates & pictures during the stay which really helped ease our own anxiety, which was much appreciated. If you especially want a dog sitter with patience & great communication, Tony is your guy! He will be our go to sitter from now on; he is Jolie approved! 👌🏽

Lauren was amazing!! Very attentive to all of our instructions and super communicative the whole time with adorable photos! Our dog even had some questionable tummy issues and she went out of her way to handle it like a pro. Thank you so much! We would love to have you hang with Nugget again! :)

Ron and Jeff were fantastic sitters for our dog Olive! They were so warm, communicative, and knowledgeable, and we knew Olive was in great hands while we were away. We first set up a daycare visit before our longer trip, and the best part was seeing how excited Olive was to see them again. 💕

Thanks so much for taking such great care of Gromit, as usual! The updates and photos were much appreciated. It was funny to see how he claimed that chair and just took it over (and nice of you to let him claim that space). I highly Recommend Robert -- he'll take great care of your dog.

As long as she is available, Brittany will be my go-to Rover dog sitter. I almost hate to write such a glowing review because she might end up getting booked all the time, which would be a definite disadvantage for me. I have 2 senior dogs who require extra care, and she handled them wonderfully. Whenever she had a question or something unexpected came up, she reached out to clarify or update me on what she had done. This was very helpful and made me feel secure that the dogs were in good hands and she was being thoughtful and attentive with their care. Lastly, every single day—throughout the day, I received multiple pictures and videos of my boys!
