“Iliana NEVER disappoints!! She saved me with my most recent booking. I had an emergency last minute request and she answered right away and was available for the days! A true lifesaver! She took great care of Cookies n Cream, sent pictures and updates everyday and gave him a Spa Day and washed his bed on the day I picked him up! He was so happy and smelled so good when I picked him up! Thank you Iliana for being the BEST dog sitter ever!”

5. Glory F.
“Glory was an awesome sitter. She was extremely communicative and always sent me updates about my Shayna. I felt at peace while I was on vacation while my fur-baby was in her hands. She even took the time to bathe her at the end of her stay. I would highly recommend Glory as a pet-sitter.”

10. Vilmarie R.
“Vilmarie R. Was a life saver! I had a work trip that kept moving it's dates. When I finally had the dates locked in my normal boarding place had no availability. I had never used Rover before but saw good reviews and later found out a friend had also used the service. I really liked Vilmarie R's profile as she used to be a vet and my dog is a diabetic. So having someone familiar with syringes and insulin was a big plus. Even after I dropped off my dog I realized I forgot a few things. She was able to meet me to hand over the missing items. During my trip I realized I would need a few more days. She was very accommodating and helped extend the days which helped me relax while on my business trip. Going forward in would use Vilmarie R over my previous boarding place which was almost 2 hours north. Highly recommended for your Fur Baby's boarding needs!”
11. Giselle R.
“My princess travels with me all the time and when she’s not a family member cares for. I was scared, literally heartbroken with the thought of leaving her with a stranger. Well, let me tell you how caring Giselle was and her profile “I’ll treat your dog just as my own” got me sold and that’s exactly what happened. I got videos and pic updates anywhere from three to four times a day, updates on her behavior and the little things she does when she’s comfy puts a smile on my face. I was able to enjoy my vacation for 8 days without worrying if she is okay. I felt as if she was with me with the daily videos. Giselle cared for my princess and I was extremely happy with her service. I unequivocally recommend Giselle without any reservations and I definitely will have her care for my princess, again and again….Good job Giselle!!”
12. Stephanie & Corey R.
“Omg what an amazing first time experience. I am a new dog mom an I was so nervous to leave Kobe. Stephanie and Corey are simply amazing. So welcoming and inviting. Kobe had an amazing g time with his new friend Luna. Again thank you both for taking care my baby Kobe. We definitely need a play date soon ???”
13. Bryan I.
“From the second I meet Bryan I felt at ease about leaving him with Cici. Cici was excited too! He provided updates (verbal, photo and video), I never had to question how Cici was doing. You can tell he cares and loves animals!”
14. Elena D.
“Elena was a very attentive and reliable dog sitter for Kumo, my energetic husky/shepard! She gave great updates during every AM and PM walk and playing session she had with him during my week out of the city. She responded immediately and was always sure to ask me anything first if it would be okay for Kumo. She had Kumo's best interest in mind all the time so it gave me huge peace of mind to know that my dog was in good hands when I was hundreds of miles away. Elena is such a kind person and I know Kumo felt comfortable and happy whenever he was with her. I would highly recommend Elena to anyone and I look forward to requesting her service again in the near future :) Thank you Elena! -From me and Kumo”
15. Frances V.
“Frances is such a kind, patient and loving dog sitter. She texted me pictures of my son playing with her furbaby and going for walks together. It reminded me that he was happy and safe the whole entire time I was away. Even during the drop off she was updating me about his food and walk schedule. I had a little bit of a delay for the drop off, and she was understanding with that as well. Truly, an overall amazing human being, and grateful to have found her. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for any future needs.”
16. Gladys G.
“Gladys was super responsive and was easy to organize with. Her apartment is very clean and there was a nice shaded/ gated patio area where Wilbur could watch the world go by. Gladys sent lots of photos during Wilbur’s stay and was flexible when we arrived later than planned. Thank you for making Wilbur’s stay very comfortable!”
17. Shanthi S.
“I can’t say enough good things about Shanti! She was so welcoming and kind! Our baby had a great time and we will absolutely use her again! ❤️”
18. Deborah O.
“I can’t say enough about how awesome Deborah was as a sitter. She sent daily pics and very detailed updates. Our spoiled Sparta took to her immediately and seemed to have a great time in her home. Deborah is incredibly caring and communicative. I highly recommend her!”
19. Thalya V.
“Thayla was an outstanding dog sitter! She kept me updated regularly about Khloe, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave me great peace of mind. Khloe warmed up to her immediately, and I could see how much Thayla genuinely cares for animals. She made sure to stick to Khloe’s routine. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely book her again!”
