“Booking with Dane was very easy. He responded quickly and drop-off and pick-up were very smooth. Our flight got in late and he and his wife were very flexible with us. Boomer looked like he had a great time and has done nothing but sleep since getting home. I think he was worn out from all his fun! He even came back to us smelling great so a bath must have happened as well!”
“Kristin was great to work with and she was very reliable and happy to have our dog in her home. She was very responsive and worked with us on any special needs for our dog. Kristin sent us pictures during the visit and kept us updated and was great about flexible drop off and pick up. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Thanks again for taking Tucker that extra night and for the daily updates and a happy tired pup when we picked him up. It's so nice to know he's in a happy place with people who enjoy having him when we're away.”
“It’s not every day that you run into a professional dog handler on Rover, but Kathy is definitely one of these. She regularly takes in dogs into her home and the entire space is designed for dog comfort. She requested to meet Bella ima safe and controlled manner and is very confident and capable with integrating dogs together in a safe, calm and measured manner. I appreciated the care and guidelines she provides... the dogs have free roam of the house and yard and she even puts out little pads outside on the cement for a comfortable place for them to sunbathe. Her and her husband are also home pretty much all day and I really like this as well. Will definitely be back as she is basically a dog sitters dream.”
“Highly recommend the sitter . Received pics and videos of Nemo all the time and he was well taken care of . I appreciate the responsiveness since I had requested last minute booking.”
“Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!”
“As always we are so grateful for maafatu. Right from the start my dogs couldn’t WAIT to get out of my car and Maafatu remembered my husband and I and even our dogs names! The fact he knew both my dogs name made me feel like family! I messaged Maafatu and as always VERY RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIVE! we love Maafatu and we will only use Maafatu! brownie and slime mom c:”
“I can’t say enough great things about Matthew! He took care of my dog Smokey for the entire day while I was out working, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped Smokey off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Matthew is incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring he went above and beyond to make sure Smokey was happy, comfortable, and well exercised. He provided regular updates, which was such a nice touch, and it was clear that Smokey had an amazing time. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, well fed, and clearly had a great day. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely kind pet sitter, Matthew is the one to call. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future! Thank you again, Matthew!”
“Mrs. Maggie provided a vacation for our Zoey while we were on vacation. The daily updates with pictures or videos proved our Zoey fit in well with her pack. Mrs. Maggie made sure to keep an eye on Zoey and noticed when she needed extra snuggles to be comfortable. I will definitely book again with Mrs. Maggie!”
“Eileen took great care of my dog, Sophie! Kept me updated daily on how she was doing. Very friendly and easy to work with, as well as very flexible to my schedule! Will definitely be taking Sophie back! ?”
“Carmen is an absolute dream and was incredibly helpful and the perfect fit to care for my iggy! Communication was smooth, fast and seamless. The photos and videos she sent were awesome, showing my ‘lil guy having a blast and “living his best life” ! She even had adorable little outfits that he wore during his stay! I can’t rate her professionalism, caring and thoughtful communication high enough! Especially as my iggy was not accustomed to being away from me, I was blown away how contented he was from the very start.”
“Nari was communicative, friendly and so good with my pups! She did such a great job with updating me and even sending cute pics daily. Our family really appreciated her help and great service! Thank you!”
“Our puppy had the best time with Luna and company. We got picture updates every single day. We love that she was so well cared for and loved and had friends to play with. We love that she got to go on adventures with walks every single day. We never felt any concern with her stay. We cannot wait to hire Larry and Luna and Rikki again for future stays, it was the best money we could have ever spent knowing that our dog was so well cared for.”
“David and Betty were very attentive to Jr and Quinta. I know our dogs loved getting so much attention and love during their stay. Betty also commented on all our dogs little quirks like how Quinta likes to watch her person make coffee in the morning while Jr snoozes on the couch. Or like how Jr likes to talk / chat sometimes like he has something to say. My family and I really appreciated all the videos and photo updates. I always feel stressed leaving my dogs for vacation but all the updates made me feel much more at ease. My daughter commented that the dogs were having a fun vacation just like we were. I would definitely recommend Betty and David to watch your dog while you are on vacation.”
“Kristina responded quickly to my last minute request. She was open to chatting with me to learn about him and how she could make him comfortable. Even though my dog has some behavior problems, Kristina was still open to working with him. She kept us up to date with pictures and comments on how he was doing. She treated my dog very well. I wouldn't hesitate to have Kristina watch my dog again in the future.”
“My anxious pup Ginger had the best time with Marisol and Twinkie. I was so happy to see how much Ginger enjoyed herself. Marisol is a wonderful person who goes above and beyond to ensure your dog gets all they need while you are away. I am so grateful for her loving kindness and I will book again for sure.”
“Wonderful experience with my pup who has separation anxiety. My previous sitter cancelled on me 15 HOURS before my flight. Sara made a stressful situation seamless and gave me peace of mind.”
“This was a long trip, and being away from Bella for so long is always hard, but Lans always sent me regular updates. One concern I had was that Bella is a really picky eater, but he made sure to consistently feed her, which was great. When I picked her up, she looked happy, healthy, and incredibly tired! From all the photos and videos, I could tell she played every day and used up all her energy.Thank you very much for everything!”
“Sherman was very happy and well taken care of while staying with Marla and BooBoo! He has medicines that he has to take and she gave them to him every morning. When is his medicines can be increased as needed for arthritis and she was able to see when Sherman was hurting and needed an increase in his medicine or a lower activity level… he’s an old boy ❤️. BooBoo was a great friend for Sherman to have an around during my extended vacation. Marlee kept me updated and sent pictures and Sherman just looked happy in all of them! She even gave him a bath before I picked him up!! And I broke my wrist while on vacation and she was more than willing to extend the stay by the extra day that I needed. I really appreciate Marla taking care of Sherman and I will definitely use her services again!!”

Dane is really kind and took great care of our pup, he was communicative and sent us pictures of her while we were away. He made sure to follow our care and feeding instructions, we really appreciated his great service and the peace of mind he gave us while we were away!
Monica was a delight to work with. She constantly kept us informed about how Luna was doing and sent us daily photos of how Luna was fitting in to the daily routine there. We were informed of the frequent walks and to her overall wellness and comfort. Thank you Monica for making our trip so worry free.
I am so happy I left my fur-son with Xiatong! She took excellent care of my senior boy for a week & sent multiple pictures daily to keep me informed. She even made him more chicken & rice when what I'd left ran out, which was above & beyond my expectations! I highly recommend Xiaotong if you need to travel & I'd definitely use her service again if the need arises.
Judith was great. She and her husband really care for dogs and it shows with how they cared for our dog. She provided daily updates on how our dog was acclimating to her new environment and with the other dogs in her care. The large backyard and doggie door were a huge plus since we knew our little girl loves to go outside a lot and run. We won’t hesitate to book again.
Coguie will miss her favorite sitter auntie Rachel and Chris. As always, this last stay of Coguie with Rachel before our move was a pleasant one and full of care and love to our princess. If you need to be away from your fur baby for a couple of days, I highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter. You will be at peace knowing your fur baby will be well taken care of and spoiled.
Carmen is an absolute dream and was incredibly helpful and the perfect fit to care for my iggy! Communication was smooth, fast and seamless. The photos and videos she sent were awesome, showing my ‘lil guy having a blast and “living his best life” ! She even had adorable little outfits that he wore during his stay! I can’t rate her professionalism, caring and thoughtful communication high enough! Especially as my iggy was not accustomed to being away from me, I was blown away how contented he was from the very start.
Ari and his wife Linda were absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. They were very communicative throughout the stay and regularly sent photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Their two dogs helped ours feel comfortable and at home right away, and it was clear our dogs felt safe around Ari, his family, and the other dogs. We really appreciated how responsible Ari was in suggesting a trial run before we left our dogs for a couple of weeks—it showed how thoughtful and experienced he is. He also has a great yard where the dogs can run around and play. We’re so happy to have found Ari and Linda and feel confident knowing we have someone we trust to look after our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!
Han and Tony took such great care of our chihuahua Nibbles that she didn’t want to go home afterwards. They were really good about sending regular updates/pictures, and even took our dog out on car rides and walks. Book with confidence, we’d definitely let Nibbles stay with Han and Tony again!
