“I had a fantastic experience with Maya! Maya took care of my dog Chester and I couldn't have been happier with the care she provided. Maya’s dog Laurel and Chester got along well and played with each other. Maya was thorough and patient with Chester and also taught him the ‘Wait’ cue. Throughout Chester's stay, Maya consistently updated me with pictures and videos, which I greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Maya to anyone seeking a reliable and caring dog sitter on Rover!”

Fairfax pet parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel is always wonderful with Poppy, and I admire and appreciate so much her experience with dogs and her understanding of how to make each dog comfortable and safely introduce them to new friends. Poppy had an absolute blast with Rachel - she even ate all her meals, which she never does with a dogsitter, showing just how at home she felt! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of her!!
Serena was the perfect fit for our pup, Millie! Serena watched Millie for a week while we were on vacation and we couldn't have had a better experience. We had a meet and greet prior to the stay, as well as a half day visit. This was great for Millie and us! While away, Serena sent tons of videos and pictures daily. It was so great to see all the fun Millie was having! Her backyard and house is the perfect spot for the dogs to play and have fun. It was clear that Millie LOVED playing outside with her new found friends. Serena is also so knowledgeable about dogs and what they need. For example, she tested out a slow feeder with Millie and found out that it is an awesome tool for our pup. We are so thankful to have found Serena and the love she gave our sweet girl while we were gone. We will definitely be using Serena for doggy daycare and vacations in the future. We cannot recommend her enough!
Lynda and her family took great care of our 2 pups while we were out of town. One is a high energy Golden doodle and she managed to keep him occupied with lots of playtime. We received frequent pics/updates and never had to worry while we were away. If you are searching for a sitter that will treat your fur babies like their own, I highly recommend Lynda!
Na-Young was kind and caring for our energetic Australian Shepard, Cali. She spent time playing with Cali and taking her on long walks to help her regulate her energy. She sent me pictures every day to help me feel calm. Na-Young was an awesome pet sitter! Thank you Na-Young for taking excellent care of Cali.
Maya and her dog Laurel took great care of my dog Fiona who can be tricky since she is reactive and can be territorial and likes to be the alpha dog. Maya sent daily photo and video updates and I could tell that Fiona was warming up to being in Maya’s home more and more each day. We loved getting multiple photos and videos each day while we were away on our trip and never had to worry about our fur baby. We would definitely hire Maya again!
