We were so happy that Izzy was able to have a good time with Ninoska and were happy that she got to be part of the “pack” with the other dogs. We were able to have a good vacation knowing that she was happy, safe and being well cared for.

Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.

Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!

This was the FIRST time I was able to leave my dogs anywhere and actually not worry or stress about how things may be going. Everything from the house space to the family, it’s all just perfect! And I’m extremely picky! So ya just a great experience in every way. I wish all sitters were like this one. Definitely recommend her and I would gladly pay even more than she charges. Totally worth the peace of mind. 10 stars!!

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved English Bulldogs to Koryn while I went on a 5-day vacation, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Koryn has a genuine love and understanding of dogs. Throughout the stay, she provided exceptional care, ensuring my fur babies were comfortable, well-fed, and showered with attention. Koryn went above and beyond to accommodate their needs, keeping me updated with photos, which truly put my mind at ease. Returning home, I found my dogs happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Koryn truly treated them as if they were her own, and I am incredibly grateful. I wholeheartedly recommend Koryn to anyone seeking a trustworthy, compassionate, and professional dog sitter. Your pets will be in excellent hands!

Rocky had the best time with Nicolle & Ronaldo. They were super accommodating and able to take Rocky on short notice due to an emergency that came up. Responsive, timely, and very communicative over the time of his stay. I received tons of updates + photos and felt extremely relaxed and relieved to know he was in good hands. He came home super tired and happy and looking forward to seeing them again.

She was very patient with my somewhat anxious dog who has a harder time when away, with eating, settling at night, etc. Thanks so much for everything. We already have two more stays booked. Definitely recommend!

Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.

Milena was amazing I felt so comfortable leaving my sick girl with her. She was careful to write down all medication instructions (4 different medications taken 2 or 3 times a day) She was also kind to me - I had never left my dog with a stranger let alone when she was sick. I am sooo grateful Milena helped me. She sent pictures and told me how everything was going. I have already asked her to be my go to when I must leave my dog for a few days. She is awesome … so loving and caring I felt soooo lucky to have happened upon a kind soul to care for my helpless sick dog while I had to be away. I highly recommend her and am soo grateful to have met her on this app - Milena thank you for your help.

Angela was amazing! We were away for three days and she looked after our two miniature Schnauzers like they were her own. She kept sending us updates the whole time with our pups happy and playing, which honestly made the trip so much more enjoyable knowing they were in good hands. She made sure we felt totally at ease leaving them with her, and you can just tell she really knows what she’s doing. We had such a great experience and will definitely be booking with her again — highly recommend! 🐾

Caitlin watched our Shih Tzu, Brooklyn, for 3 days and 2 nights, and we truly could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate person to trust with her. From the moment we met Caitlin, we could immediately tell how deeply she cares for animals, especially dogs. Throughout Brooklyn’s stay, Caitlin constantly kept us updated with endless pictures and thoughtful messages that gave us so much peace of mind. We always felt confident knowing Brooklyn was being loved, cared for, and given the patience and attention she needed. After recently losing her sister of 13 years, Brooklyn has struggled emotionally and requires extra patience and understanding because of both her grief and old age. Caitlin handled her with so much kindness, gentleness, and reassurance. Hearing about her experience rescuing her own dog and fostering others made it clear that caring for animals is truly part of who she is. We are beyond grateful for the love and comfort Caitlin gave Brooklyn during her stay. She treated her like family, and that means everything to us. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pets as if they were her own.

I boarded my dogs with Lindsey for 2 weeks and she is amazing! Both of my dogs got comfortable quickly with her, they were comfortable with her cats and dog. She gave me updates on my dogs throughout the time and also pictures which I really appreciated. I didn’t have to worry or anything the dogs were great with her and I would have her again watch the dogs in the future. She is responsive, caring to the dogs, gives updates/ pictures, very flexible with drop off and pick up times, I highly recommend Lindsey.

I recently booked with Jamin, and I can honestly say it felt like a true blessing. I’ve been raving about this experience to anyone who will listen! For the first time ever, I was able to go on vacation without constantly worrying about my dog—and that peace of mind is priceless. Jamin went above and beyond, keeping me updated with plenty of videos and pictures, which made it so clear that my dog was not only safe but genuinely happy and well cared for. His attentiveness, kindness, and professionalism truly set him apart. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your furry family member, Jamin is simply the best dog sitter you could ask for. Thank you again, Jamin—I’ll absolutely be booking with you again!
