1. Kathy K.

“Once again, Kathy and Graham took such good care of Tommy that when he came home after his 2 week vacation with them, although happy to be home, was still looking for them! It’s such a great feeling to know and trust that another person can and will take good care of your beloved pet. We would not hesitate to leave Tommy for any length of time with Kathy”

10. Anna & Christian B.

“This was our second time with Anna and Christian sitting Sora. This was his longest vacation away from family and we greatly appreciated their updates as we missed our pup dearly. We couldn’t be happier and would keep bringing Sora back. Sitters were very accommodating with initial scheduling and then potential pickup issues due to hurricane, even though it didn’t end up affecting the stay. They are wonderful sitters and would highly recommend 10/10!”




11. Pamela & Marshall E.

“My dog, Max, was so well cared for with Pam and her son, Evan. He was relaxed and happy when we returned and we would be so happy to have Pam's home as Max's home while we are away. We received texts and photos while we were gone and it was such a comfort to know Max was settled and had plenty of company and exercise -- not to mention a really great dog pal the whole time! Thanks again, Pam!”

“Jill is an absolute saint. When I had no power, and was going to be gone for a good part of the day, she welcomed Gemma with open arms and was accommodating to a last minute plan to have Gemma stay overnight. Provided the perfect amount of updates and pictures. I could not have been happier with how she took care of my lil lady and I will be using her again multiple times as long as schedule allows!!”

“Lucinda was so sweet and sent amazing updates on our cat while we were on vacation! Our cat obviously loved Lucinda, evidenced by the purrs and head rubs before we took her home!

18. Jenna F.
“I can't recommend Jenna highly enough as a dog sitter! She has a remarkable way with dogs, showing incredible compassion for my older dog, Jazz, who needs extra care and gentleness. Jenna ensures she’s comfortable and gives her plenty of love and attention. At the same time, she brings a burst of energy to my younger dog, Cleo, engaging her in fun play and adventures. It’s clear that Jenna genuinely loves dogs and is dedicated to their well-being. I trust her completely with my furry friends, knowing they’ll be in responsible and loving hands!”

“5 Stars is not enough for Kaylah. Not only was she clutch (previous arrangement had an emergency), her Zebo was fantastic with Worf as Worf is a senior dog with failing eyesight and moves slowly sometimes. We will definitely be back!”


20. Sarah G.

“Sarah took great care of Dolly! We were a bit nervous as this was our first time boarding Dolly with a Rover sitter, but Sarah put us at ease. She has a beautiful and clean home with a nice backyard and is clearly a dog lover. She sent us updates and pictures each day which showed us that Dolly had made herself right at home and found a new friend in Sarah’s sweet dog Tobi. We will absolutely use Sarah again!”
