“Kristin was beyond amazing. My hubby & I boarded our pit bull Weatherly for a night with her. Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, and a pit bull, so trying to find someone to watch her that doesn't feel uneasy can be a bit hard. We did a meet & greet, and I instantly knew she was the one to take care of our dog Weatherly. Kristin is very personable, within 5min of talking with her she felt like a long time friend. She has great communication, my hubby & I got picture updates. Her & weatherly hit it off from the beginning, and Kristin was super attentive to Weatherly's needs. We love Kristin so much, we actually rebooked. Weatherly will get to hang out with Kristin for 5 days, while my family & I are on a trip. She's our go to person!! Thank you for taking such good care of our fur baby!!!”
“Xiaotong did such an amazing job with our senior pup! She spoiled him like royalty (in the best way) and sent lots of pics and video! Thank you so much! We would love to book again in the future!”
“Carmen was absolutely awesome with our pup! She sent wonderful updates with detailed info and pictures/videos and did an especially good job enforcing good potty habits and new commands for our puppy who’s still learning. I’d highly recommend her for any sitting needs, she’s got a repeat customer in us for sure!”
“Maggie is amazing! She took very good care of my senior dog and kept up with his medications perfectly! She also sent me adorable pictures each day she had him. Would highly recommend and would use her again!”
“Alyssa jumped in while Dane was out of town and made Lobster’s stay feel like a mini vacation. Lobster came along with his buddy Ren and they were straight into dog park adventures, backyard playtime, and running around with Lady (their adora-pup) like old friends. Between hanging out with Alyssa and her two daughters and all the fun outside, the dogs were clearly living their best lives. The steady stream of happy photos made it obvious they were having a blast and being so well cared for. We live 35 mins away from Dane and Alyssa, and the distance didn't bother us because we know our pup will be in good hands. We will book again and again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! They took such amazing care of my dog over the 10 days I was away, and it truly gave me peace of mind the entire time. It was clear from the start how much they genuinely care about animals. One of the things I appreciated most was the regular updates—they consistently sent videos and messages, which made me feel connected and reassured. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for my dog was in those updates meant everything to me. It was obvious he was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When I returned, my dog was happy, healthy, and clearly had a great time. It’s such a relief knowing I can trust someone to meet all his needs so thoroughly. I’m incredibly grateful for the care and dedication they showed, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!”
“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.”
“So, this was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and I was pretty nervous about it. But let me tell you, our puppy absolutely LOVED staying with David and Betty! We were away for 6 days, and even though I was worried, they took such good care of our pup. They were super attentive and loving, and we could tell that they treated our furry friend like their own. They were also really punctual, flexible, and friendly, and their communication was top-notch. Honestly, I can't recommend them enough to anyone in the area who needs reliable and trustworthy people to look after their fur babies. Thanks a million, Betty and David, for giving us such peace of mind while we were away!”
“Spring and Adil are exceptional dog sitters. From the moment I arrived, I could tell they were caring, attentive, and truly experienced—especially with small dogs. Their own pup, Milo, is gentle and playful, and got along beautifully with my dog. It felt like a fun summer camp experience—my dog had a blast playing with Milo and other small dogs, and came home relaxed, happy, and well cared for. I received thoughtful updates and could see how much joy and comfort he found in their home. I plan to reach out to Spring and Adil every time I need to be away—they’ve absolutely earned my trust. Highly recommend for anyone seeking compassionate, specialized care for a small dog.”
“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.”
“We can’t thank Christiana and her family for watching our sweet girl! Juni was a little nervous at first since it was her first “sleepover” but they quickly got her to feel comfortable in their home. We appreciated the updates and pictures during her stay. We will definitely book with Christiana again!”
“I had a last minute weekend getaway and needed a sitter for my extra energetic fur baby, Teddy. So glad I stumbled upon Marla’s page. Marla is quick to respond, and is very thorough as to make sure that Teddy will have a wonderful stay at her home. The pictures she sent me every day (with her own fur babies) were adorable and kept my apprehension at bay. I knew Teddy was in good hands. I most definitely would utilize Marla’s services if needed again. And i recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a sitter that will truly take care of your fur babies.”
“Jen was wonderful with our dogs. I was worried about leaving our 16 year old senior Shih tzu, but she was great with him. Her regular updates gave us peace of mind. We will 100% be rebooking soon!”
“This is Hammer’s 3rd time staying with him, and once again we’re so happy and satisfied with the care he received. Hammer always comes back happy, clean, and smelling so good! even his bowls were washed and clean when we picked him up. You can really tell he’s well taken care of and loved. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful dogsitter!”
“Katie was amazing to work with! She and her family took such good care of our dog, we received lots of updates and pictures of her throughout her time there. Highly recommend and we'll 100% be using her going forward!”
“Taylor took great care of our French Bulldog Leo! We were away for the Christmas holidays and we received a bunch of cute photos and videos of him playing with their dogs and running in the yard! We also had an a cancelled flight and Taylor was flexible and able to extend our booking another full day which was a huge stress relief for us! We will absolutely be booking with Taylor again for a future stay!”

I can’t say enough amazing things about Sara! She watched my dog, Splash, for 10 days (April 2–12), and it was truly the best experience I could have asked for. She sent daily updates, which made such a difference and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was so comforting to see how happy and well cared for Splash was each day. Honestly, it looked like Splash was on her own little vacation, having an absolute blast! Knowing my dog was in such great hands completely took the stress off my trip and allowed me to fully relax and enjoy my time away. That kind of trust and reassurance is priceless. I would highly recommend Sara to anyone; whether you’re going on a long vacation or just need a sitter for the day. She truly is the best and makes leaving your fur baby so much easier. From the very beginning, she was communicative, and I love that she is clearly such a genuine dog lover. Thank you again, Sara, for taking such incredible care of Splash!
Thank you so much Xiaotong for taking such wonderful care of Hanbi for a whole week like a family and for sending photo updates of Hanbi's daily life Hanbi seems very comfortable with you and settled right back in at home without any trouble I highly recommend Xiaotong's pet boarding services!!
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.

Marla watched our dog for 3 weeks, and he had a great time! She sent many picture updates and it’s clear that our doggo had as much of a vacation as we did. He even got a bath from her after romping around and getting dirty. Would definitely recommend and will book with her again the next time we go out of town!
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.
My Penny had a great time in her stay. They have a backyard and the dogs can go outside at any time from the dog door, my dog was not trained but she learned pretty fast and from there it seems like she was always outside enjoying the space. There were other dogs staying at the same time and penny was nervous at first but she warmed up after a few minutes and they became friends, right after we got home she went directly to sleep since she was probably exhausted from all the play and socializing. Overall it was a good experience, Judith would give updates every now and then and Penny was doing good and spending time with the other dogs, but especially spending time outside.
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!
Taylor took great care of our French Bulldog Leo! We were away for the Christmas holidays and we received a bunch of cute photos and videos of him playing with their dogs and running in the yard! We also had an a cancelled flight and Taylor was flexible and able to extend our booking another full day which was a huge stress relief for us! We will absolutely be booking with Taylor again for a future stay!
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!
Julia was a delightfully caring sitter for my dog, Kiko. He quickly felt comfortable with her and her dog. She was great at communicating with me, sending photos and video through his stay. She was also flexible about arrival, which was important due to crazy traffic. I definitely recommend Julia as a Rover dog sitter!
