Luiz and his family were so sweet to my pup, Echo, that I don’t think she wanted to come home! They treated her like family and she had a blast exploring their wonderful fenced in backyard and lounging on the couch when she needed a break. She played like crazy with the other pups and came home nice and tired! Luiz kept me up to date with frequent pictures and videos of her having fun. I felt so comfortable leaving her with them and will definitely rebook in the future!

Judy was an awesome host to our dog in her home. Our dog threw her some curveballs, as he can be a bit of a rascal, and she took everything in stride and was extremely patient with him. She kept us updated and gave us complete ease that she was taking excellent care, allowing us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation without worry. Thank you Judy, we would love to have King stay again!

Kourtney is a kind and a knowledgeable dog sitter. When I overseas for almost a month, my high energy dog was boarded in her place. She kept me posted and sent pictures. I could tell how much my dog got her attentions and love. She made my absence very easy and pleasant to my very sensitive rescued dog. I highly recommend Kourtney to you when you need help. Thank you very much, Kourtney and your husband!

We left our dogs in the hands of a very warm and caring man and his wife. My dogs loved it there and Phill kept us informed regularly as well as sending us many photos. We were gone 10 days and as any dog parent, missed them a lot but always felt comfortable about being away. Phill is always responsive and got back to us quickly when we contacted him. I've already referred him to several of our friends through Rover. Thanks Phill!!

Dyane has been awesome. She started off as my walker, but when I need to be hospitalized for 2 weeks I converted to her boarding my dog. He was spoiled and got.great care with her at her place And he bonded with her so well. Daily messages and pics with occasional videos of him and I know that when it comes time for me to take a real vacation I know he'll be safe with her.

Jacky is literally THE BEST! Our 12-year-old goldendoodle stayed with Jacky for two weeks this spring while we were on an international trip. Jacky took such wonderful care of our dog – multiple walks a day in parks and wooded trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of hugs. We also received daily updates with photos, which made us feel comfortable and happy that our dog was doing so well. I’ve recommended Jacky to our friends and we will definitely be contacting her again!

Emily and her family took care of our 9 year old dog Kota as if he belonged to them. Loved how she sent pictures and texts on how he was doing. It was just a 1 day with a night sleep over. We are very happy with how the visit went that we have booked a longer stay in a few weeks. We will feel relaxed and confident that Kota will be taken care of while we our on vacation. Thank you Emily!

Luiz took care of my dog this past weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked my dog up, it was obvious he had been well cared for — happy, relaxed, and completely at ease. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

Tatiana was great. She was professional and compassionate. It was the first time using Rover and she went above and beyond to make sure SAM had a great experience. She sent videos and text updates and was super accommodating when I had to arrange a later pickup. Sam and Willow got along great and Tatiana communicated some concerns with compassionate kindness. A great caring dog sitter.
