“Arryonna was absolutely amazing!! She took great care of our wild puppy for a whole weekend. She updated me daily with pics & videos. We met ahead of time to be sure everything felt comfortable when introducing our pup to her own animals. I can’t say enough good things about our experience”

“What a wonderful experience for our dog Shadow! Bibo’s dog is awesome and got along with our dog really well. Took a minute to adjust and then they were off like siblings! Bibo was communicative and on it. Would definitely book again, and again.”

“Chad was incredibly nice and such a pleasure to work with! My dog Sammy came back happy and relaxed after staying with Chad, and he was super sweet to send me pictures during Sammy’s stay!”

“Kelly is the best pet sitter. She treats pets as if they are people. My dog Philly absolutely loves Kelly. Kelly sends endless photos/videos, and returns Philly to me showered and with homemade treats. Thank you so much Kelly, and 10/10 recommend.”

“My little dog had a great time for a 5 night stay with Hy and Arlo. I was grateful for them responding so quickly to my initial request. We arranged a meet and greet at their home, and my dog was quickly at home in their lovely house and back yard. Hy sent many beautiful pics to me throughout the stay and let me know how he was doing. Really appreciate their care while I was away and I would absolutely book with them again.”

“Megan and Jenny were a pleasure to meet and chat with. They took care of my dog exceptionally well with great updates and cute photos. My dog really vibed with them that she remembered their house after the initial meet and greet 🥹 thank you so much!”

“Kennia has watched Dudley 3 times while I’ve been out of town on long vacations and she’s fantastic! She’s great with updates and always makes sure he’s well exercised and cared for during his entire stay. Very communicative and a great sitter all around! Thank you from us both, Kennia!”

“Meera was great and professional. She was very communicative and always sent photos of my dog the whole time, I really appreciate it. She was very sweet and gentle with jazz and took her on walks and hikes. I would recommend to anyone”

“Astrid was a lifesaver! The dog sitter for my active Aussie Shepard/pitbull mix had a medical emergency and she agreed to watch my Lola on a week’s notice. Lola can be a handful (she is very hyper until she gets used to people and is reactive towards other dogs) but Astrid and her family were so sweet and patient to Lola that she settled in quickly. Astrid provided updates regularly which reassured Lola was well loved. Will definitely hire Astrid again to dog sit Lola since Lola had such a great time!”

“Shannon was such an amazing help. Unfortunately our pup was not able to attend our wedding rehearsal and Shannon saved the day. She was flexible with pick up times, showed up exactly when we needed her, and was very professional. Shannon’s house is just as described and is perfect to house doggies. She sent many pictures and updates so you will never miss a moment.”

“Preston had his first visit with Lee yesterday. He’s high energy when other dogs are around and absolutely enjoyed his afternoon playing with her and the other dogs. Lee was attentive, provided great updates and overall made us feel comfortable leaving Preston with her. We cannot thank her enough!”


“Sherry is an AMAZING dog sitter!! I trusted her to care for my sweet but nervous 50lb girl, Ellie, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. Sherry was so thorough, she sent plenty of updates throughout and put me at ease! She was super responsive to my dog’s needs, and I could see Ellie just melting and falling in love with her through the updates. She’s got a lovely, clean and safe apartment and she is obviously someone who knows dogs well. I would trust Sherry with dog sitting ANY day! Highly recommend.”

“Baxter had a great first stay with Kristen and Ryan! He took advantage of various comfy lounging spots in their home as well as sunbathing in their backyard. Baxter was in great shape when I returned. Kristin and Ryan are very friendly and kind, and their communications were clear throughout. I received updates with pictures at least once a day, as requested. I greatly appreciated their flexibility to extend Baxter's stay a bit and coordinate a different pickup arrangement when my trip plans changed. I would certainly book with them again!”

“Inkoo was a wonderful host for Tino, keeping him happy with lots of long walks, naps in the sun, and snuggles even on the bed. I loved her daily updates with pictures of him clearly relaxed and enjoying himself. Top notch care! I appreciate that she took my request with fairly short notice and was able to do a meet and greet the next day! We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future boarding needs.”

“Mr. Badger had a great visit for a week with Erika while we were traveling. She took excellent care of Mr. B and sent great photos of their snuggle adventures during the week. We will definitely use Erika again.”

“Chawntea is amazing! Bear was well taken care of and she sent many pictures and videos of him so I could see how much fun he was having. Definitely recommend!”

“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”

“Nikita & Anthony are amazing dog sitters. I trusted them completely to take care of my older dog while I was out of town. Really sweet people and excellent communication- clearly dog lovers. 10/10 would recommend.”

Kelly did such a wonderful job watching my dog who has some special needs and care instructions. She was attentive, loving, and sent regular updates on how he was doing. He came home happy and calm and they even took the time to give him a bath so he came home clean too. I will absolutely use Kelly again, she is amazing at what she does. Thank you for taking great care of Prince !!

Lee was available to help us with last-minute care for our two mini schnauzers. She was professional, friendly, and super responsive. Our two doggies had an amazing time with her and were so well cared for and loved. She sent photos every day, which helps when you’re miles away :) Thanks again, Lee!
Lynn was so communicative, supporting and accommodating with Rosco. She met for a meet and greet and asked plenty of questions to help her understand Rosco’s routines and behaviors, as well as ensure he got along with her pup Mindy. Lynn kept me updated with timelines and photos and was able to quickly redirect Rosco’s accident during his first night. He was well taken care of, got plenty of walks and clear guidance. I would highly recommend Lynn for your pup and look forward to booking her again in the future.

Meghan took great care of my dog Bear. It’s hard to find someone who is comfortable with handling my 100 pound Great Dane/Doberman and Meghan did it like a pro. Bear can get pretty anxious in new places but Meghan was able to help him adjust at his own pace. Meghan has a great backyard for the pups and the house is set up with dogs in mind. There was another dog boarding at the same time as Bear so he had a little friend during his stay. I didn’t know what to expect since this was my first time using rover, but after meeting with Meghan I felt so much better and knew Bear was in good hands. 🐻🤍

Our pup stayed for a week during the holidays with Jenny and Megan, and she looked happier than ever in every photo and video they sent us. They kept her busy with all her favorite activities and lots of quality time, as well as following instructions we provided during her stay. We think she likes her “other home” a lot better! 😂

Briana is always amazing and so great at communication, someone you can trust! She sent daily photos and updates for us while we were gone. We also had a transfer during our time away and she asked all the right questions and kept us so reassured about everything. Thank you!

We could not have asked for a more loving or attentive caregiver for our senior dog. Our dog is old, has many needs including a lot of patience and several medications, we were nervous to leave him on our trip but Shannon was warm, welcoming and open to all of Nacho’s needs from the moment we met her. He even unexpectedly had some health issues before we left which required him to need additional medication and a watchful eye. Shannon still didn’t think twice about caring for him. She sent daily updates about his activities and many cute pictures! We cannot thank Shannon and Rocky enough for the love and care they provided for our dog. We highly recommend them!
