“Melanie, Greg, and their family were very kind, patient, and communicative about Phoebe during her first overnight stay away from home. We would definitely book them again!”

“Tater had a great little staycation with Michelle while we were out of town. We got so many photos of him just having an absolute blast. Their dog Murphy welcomed Tater to toys and cuddles. We were able to enjoy our trip without having to worry about if Tater was okay or enjoying himself. Thank you so much!”

“My pups had the best time and probably didn’t want to come home. Austin was great with communication and they felt perfectly at home with him. I made a mistake in food and he made sure they had enough and even gave them a brush so they’d be fresh for pickup. If he’s available and you need someone, I 100% recommend. Thanks a bunch!”

“Aisha was so amazing in taking care of our high energy doggo for a whole week while we were away for our wedding!! I received updates and photos every day. I was nervous at first because this was our first time using Rover or going away without our doggo, but Aisha made me feel confident and comfortable in her abilities to take care of our boy the very first hour she had him! He had a blast playing at the dog park, got to go on long walks, and made a new doggo friend with her dog. I HIGHLY recommend Aisha to anyone and will definitely be booking her again in the future (if she'll have our silly pup again!) If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She was amazing!”

“I had an amazing experience with Paula! She took such great care of my dog and sent frequent videos, photos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was on vacation. She took him on regular walks, and he absolutely loved playing with her wonderful dogs. I could tell he was happy and comfortable the entire time. I’m so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!”

“Fnu and Eric took great care of our dogs. Daily photos, good communication. The dogs clearly had a great time with their own dogs - they were constantly playing. Our dogs were happy and healthy after their 11 day stay at “camp” and we look forward to using them again!”


“Amazing experience - Blue had such a good time and I can tell was so happy! We got pictures along the way as well. I knew he was in good hands. Thank you so much Sarachai!”

“We are so lucky we found Virginia! She was flexible and so sweet with our dog, Patches. He became best buds with her dog Sofia, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Looking forward to the next time we go away so Patches can hang out with his new friends again!”

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Jasmine and Stormi were great with Roxy. Roxy was transitioning between dog foods during her stay and Jasmine handled it like a pro. I would highly recommend Jasmine for your next trip.”

“Brian has become a trusted and dependable for this single, working dog mom of 2! He is a great communicator and has been incredibly patient and flexible with me when there are travel delays outside of my control. My boys get so excited when we pull up to his house and always return home tired (in a good way!) and happy.”

“Daniel took great care of my 4 ish years old medium sized friendly energetic dog for five days … while he was in the middle of what will unfortunately be a long injury recovery from a broken leg. Daniel even took my dog to the emergency vet for me once over concerns about his splint. He was communicative both before and after the issue, so I always knew what was going on. He maintained a positive attitude and was loving towards my dog who seemed pretty happy at his place! Their dog Frito is a nice buddy to have around. I got some cute photos of them chilling together or napping nearby each other.”

“Once again, Lauren was really fantastic with my neurotic little pup. As he has gotten older, he has become more quirky. She adapts wonderfully to every situation. She sends regular updates as well. I would trust her with any dog. Thank you Lauren!”

“Harley was so happy to go back to Jennifer and her wonderful family for a long weekend. He gets showered with love by Jennifer, her sweet daughter Ramsey, and Grandmom Anne! I’m so happy he gets a happy easy-going doggy friend in Khali, and experience with Pursey the cat. It’s so nice knowing that he is so beautifully cared for. Jennifer was extra kind this time, giving him medicine and more walks since he couldn’t run around her spacious front yard due to a healing injury. We love getting updates and adorable pictures throughout his time there. I’m not sure Harley really wanted to leave!”

About: I’ve wanted a dog ever since I could remember. At 16 years old, my dream finally came true and my family was blessed with our wonderful Maltese, Toby. He is now turning 12 years old this year! In addition to having experience with my own dog, many friends and family have asked me to take care of their fur babies. I’ve had experience with dogs as old at 16 years old and others as young as less than a year - I absolutely love them all! Saturdays and Sundays are free! I work 9am-5pm on the weekdays, Mondays and Fridays I work remote. Tuesday through Thursday I am in office, but my husband will be home to help. I live on the second floor of a condo, so no need to wait for an elevator to get outside! We also have a huge balcony if your fur baby just wants to get some fresh air. If we are in your home, I will make sure to follow all rules and ask questions if I’m unsure about the safety of your pet.
“Terez watched Reese for us during a quick weekend getaway. She was very flexible with our schedule in accommodating a pick up and drop off for us since we lived so conveniently close. Reese felt right at home with her. We will definitely use Terez again!”

“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”

“Our dog seemed to have a wonderful stay with Russ and his family. He was so communicative and sending pictures and videos throughout the stay. Would definitely go back!”

Elizabeth was fantastic with my dog who has got a bit of a laundry list of reactivity. She was constantly communicative and it was clear my dog was well looked after, exercised well, and she followed all her commands. They had a wonderful time together and will definitely be booking her again if we ever need. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Sabrina was great with Echo! He’s 14 and can be a little needy, especially at night, and she was so patient with him. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, and I could tell he was very comfortable with her and her fiancé. It gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely have Sabrina watch Echo again! ❤️

Kimberly was absolutely fantastic! Lando is a very large Great Dane, and she was so attentive, kind, and completely comfortable caring for a dog his size. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked him up, I could immediately tell that he was happy, comfortable, and had really enjoyed staying in their home. It’s not always easy finding someone you trust with such a big dog, and I’m so glad we found Kimberly. I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her!

Terez was terrific!!! She sent us lots of photos and updates. She was extremely quick to respond and asked questions. I think she played with our pup a lot because Contessa had a good sleep when she returned home :). We will definitely be boarding Contessa again with Terez.

Part of me doesn’t want to say how amazing Michelle is because I always want to use her for Winnie lol! I was so nervous leaving her. I recently rescued her and she struggled with separation anxiety her first few months so I’ve only left her with family. She was SO happy and had the best time. Michelle’s updates made my day. Winnie will be back :)

Haley and Joe were amazing with my mini dachshund (2.5 y/o)! She had such a good time and we felt very comfortable leaving her for a long weekend. They took her to their neighborhood dog park and took tons of pics. They were also super understanding and accommodating when our flight was significantly delayed (much appreciated). I would absolutely recommend for any sitting needs!

Daniel has watched our Bernedoodle a few times now and we’ve always had a great experience! He’s very communicative, sends lots of pics, and takes great care of our girl! She was excited to get there when we dropped her off this time and always seems in the pics to be having fun playing with toys, playing in the yard, and going on walks. Will definitely book him again!
We left our two year old lab with Jennifer and Joel during a family vacation at the end of summer. We were nervous going into it because we had never left her with someone we didn’t know. I shared this with Jennifer and Joel at the meet and greet and reminded them at drop off. They sent pics and videos every day, which really helped us to feel that our girl was also “on vacation” and having a great time with their two dogs. Thanks to you both for loving her while we were away!
