“Awesome people!! And very accommodating!! It’s a comfort to know your furry family member is in such great hands while you are miles and miles away. It allows us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that he’s being so well cared for!!”

“We had a great experience with Sierra! Our dog was happy when we picked him up and we got updates while we were out of town. She was also very flexible and understanding when our flight was delayed and we had to pick up our dog later than planned. Thank you, Sierra!”

“I highly recommend Jenn and Brian. They took great care of my senior dog, Dixie. I had never boarded my dog before so I was a bit anxious how things would play out. But daily communications and pictures were sent making me feel comfortable that I had left my girl with the right family.”

“Dana kept me updated daily with pictures and what they did for the day. Bella really enjoyed herself. She usually doesn't eat when we are away but she felt comfortable in their home. I am so grateful to have found them! I will definitely be using them for future trip knowing that my baby will be taken care of and loved like it was me. Thank you guys for everything!!”

“Michele was great to our boy Takh and to us as well. We had a mishap (a flat tire) on our way to pick him up, for which AAA was slow to help and Michelle was very understanding and accommodating, despite the fact that the car trouble threw a wrench in her plan for the evening. She took great care of our boy and we would recommend her to anyone and look forward to using her service again.”

“Alena was VERY accommodating. We ran into a hiccup during boarding and she was so helpful in working out a solution. I loved the pictures and videos of Kirra!”

“Had a magnificent experience leaving my boys ( 7 months old) with Annalisa. First, I must say that I am new to Rover and was leaving my pups for the first time, so needless to say I was nervous. Annalisa sensed our nervousness and first graciously came over to my home to meet us and the boys in their own environment with her own dog. The boys felt really comfortable with Annalisa and her dog. We then went to her place and the boys were thrilled again to see her and her dog once again, and they felt really comfortable at her home. So we felt at ease with the decision to leave them there. While we were on our trip we communicated daily and got pictures of the boys. Annalisa was easy to reach. She was always reassured us the boys were well and happy. She herself always seemed at ease and comfortable and happy to be with the boys. I always worry about how the boys will be accepted as they are very energetic and rambunctious but Annalisa seemed to take it all in stride.She even explained that she had to give one of the boys a bath as he had soiled himself. When we came to pick them up it was clear they were happy there. We feel very good about the whole experience. She did a wonderful job of making us feel at ease about leaving the boys there with her. Its clear the boys were well attended to and were made to feel at home there with her. It was important for us that the boys were treated as well as we try to treat them ourselves. Annalisa met all our needs and we trust her completely with the boys. We recommend her highly.”

“My cat Vlad was well taken care of and loved with Julio! I got consistent updates and pictures of how he was doing during his stay, and would recommend Julio to anyone needing a trust worthy sitter for their furry friend! I’m excited to continue using his services in the future!”

“Catia was AMAZING with Altivo. We left Altivo with her for 10 days and she sent updates regularly. She took him for daily walks, a trip to Canadian tire, the beach and car rides. In Every photo our dog looked so happy. He even had an issue with his ears that she took care of and snuggled him to make him feel at home. Definitely recommend her as she clearly loves animals and takes very good care of them.”

“Crystal was great with our dogs! It was our first time using this site and having dogs away from home but she made us feel so comfortable and reassured us that they will have above and beyond what they need. She sent us pictures and updates regularly which made us feel even better! I highly recommend Crystal!”

“beverly. you are the best sitter ever! our Lilly just loves you and ur husband too. it’s been such a comfort and blessing to have her available to us for vacations or whatever. i’m so grateful for her!”

“Alexis kept us updated with photo and messages. It was our dogs first time with “pet sitting” on Rover and Alexis was patient and attentive with our fur babies. We are so grateful she was able to help us with our last minute need for help before a trip. We definitely recommend her!”

“Anthony and Nate did a wonderful job with our Holly. I got photo/text updates on how she was doing. We would definitely book again. If you are thinking about booking with Anthony, you definitely should.”

“Noelle did an amazing job caring for our dog, Max, overnight! She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand, which made us feel very comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. She showed Max so much love, patience, and attention, and it was clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches. I highly recommend her services and will definitely continue using her in the future!”

“My dog Jordan was well taken care of. I highly recommend Raisa for dog boarding. She let me know how my pup was doing and sent pictures. She was very kind and I am grateful to have found her. Would definitely go through her again. 10/5 stars!”


“Alexis did a great job with our two german shepherd dogs. She kept in touch and sent us photos. She even sent us a photo of our shy dog snuggling with her daughter, something I would have never expected our dog to do!”
“Kelly is amazing. My dog, Chi Chi was very happy when I picked him up. Kelly was so accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Sent me pictures, followed feeding instructions and even gave Chi Chi a brushing. We will certainly book Kelly again.”

Jaddua was amazing. He was kind and made me feel at ease when dropping Mando off. He showed me where mando would be staying and going out. You can tell Jaddua genuinely loves animals and Mando was loving all the attention Jaddua gave him. Couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of Mando while I was gone. I missed Mando so much, thankfully Jaddua provided the most adorable photo updates. If I’m in Buffalo again definitely request Jaddua again. Thank you! Love - Mando and Jasmine :)

We are so glad we found Kiara and Yves to watch our dog during a recent trip! They helped our timid senior dog feel comfortable and at home; in all the pictures and videos we received, she was doing exactly what she normally does with us! Kiara and Yves were great communicators throughout the trip and gave us total peace of mind. They were also very accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time due to a flight delay. Would not hesitate to board our dog with them again!!

Marissa was the perfect sitter for our girl. She has a cozy home complete with all the essentials - dog blankets, chewies and sidewalks for walks. More than that, Marissa is a dog lover and made my dog her priority during the stay, with the photos of her tucked in under blankets to prove it 😂 I’m very lucky to have found her and will def be booking again!
