“I am so grateful to have come across Donte here on Rover. I have an almost 3 year old Pit mix that I rescued. And Pit's just have a stereotype about them, so most people don't want to watch them. So far, Lola has been with the same boarder, but they are no longer on the Rover app. I came across Donte and he immediately said YES. I was so happy and relieved and particularly excited and grateful that he is a dog trainer, which I made me feel like he could totally handle her. That was a true bonus in my mind. Lola has had training already, but it can take her a moment to warm up. Donte said she did good; I made her sound worse than she really is. I didn't get any videos or pics, so next time, I will request. I like to see her progress. Donte let me know that Lola got to play with his dog; glad she got to interact with another dog. She needs that. Donte was very flexible as I requested to add on another nite for him to keep Lola. All in all, I am very pleased with his services. Donte lives not too far from me, so that's an even added bonus. I will most denitely use Donte's services again and highly recommend him. Thank you Donte for the great care.”


“Ashley did such an incredible job watching my dog, I wish I could give her more than five stars. She was so attentive to his needs and was sure to send me so many pictures of my little guy while I was gone. I already told her we’d be using her again, because I’ve been so whole-heartedly impressed with her. She woke up early and stayed up late to adjust to my crazy schedule while traveling. Thank you so much, Ashley.”


“2nd time with Bobby and it was just as great as the first! This is the first time we’ve been comfortable to use the same sitter more than once and will def be going back next time! Thanks again!!”


“Nicole is very professional and communicative and we are already booking her to board our dogs with again. We received updates at least once a day. It’s clear that she and her family provide a safe and happy space for our pups. Nicole has ample experience and will work with you from booking through pick up to make sure you and your pups are at ease.”


“Madeline was a great sitter! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures to keep me updated. I felt very comfortable having her watch Coco while I was away. Would definitely recommend and use her again in the future!”



“I loved my regular updates! Ace made new friends and girlfriends. Nicole and Sam made him feel right at home. Sometimes Ace is weird and needy when he comes home and this time he was happy and curled up on his bed because he was so tired from making new friends!”


“Brian was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Charlie. Couldn't leave your pet in better hands. Easy to work with, great communicator; Book him if he's available!”


“Eric and his wife are absolutely fantastic with my cat. They've taken the best care of him as well as helping him get over his fear of strangers. He always comes back well groomed and happy!”


“German was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Hazel, during her first stay with him. It's always a relief to know your pet is in caring and capable hands. German was incredibly patient and gentle, and it was clear from the photos he sent that Hazel felt completely at ease and happy. He truly treated her like part of his own family. I highly recommend German and will definitely be using his services again!”


“I couldn’t be happier with the care Charlotte provided for my dog, Xeus! She was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, sending photos and updates throughout the day that kept me completely at ease. It felt like Xeus was getting nonstop love and attention, and I never had to worry for a second. This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had with a dog sitter — I highly recommend Charlotte to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring care for their animals. 🐾”


“Kanade and her husband were such amazing sitters for my 2.5 year old Pom mix, Marsha. They treated her like she was one of their own and were so communicative with me. I'll definitely asking Kanade to watch her again soon. Thank you again!”


“Kristina was awesome! She sent daily updates and pictures which I really appreciated, took Mika on daily walks, and really made me feel like she gave her special attention and care! We look forward to using Kristina in the future!”


“I couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible care my energetic and loving dog received from Gina over the five days I was away! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in great hands. Gina was so attentive, kind, and patient, and it was clear she went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt right at home. My dog is full of energy, and I was nervous about how he'd do in a new environment, but Gina handled it all perfectly. She kept him entertained with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles, and I could tell he felt safe and loved the entire time. She sent me regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I am so grateful for Gina's warmth, and dedication to making sure my dog had a good time. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and well-exercised—he even seemed a little sad to leave! I highly recommend Gina to anyone in need of a fantastic sitter for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again! Thank you for everything!”


“Teresa was fantastic with our dog, Stella! She provided attentive, reliable care and kept us updated with photos and messages, making us feel confident Stella was in great hands.”


“Tony was great with my two doggies Molly and Mochi. He was also very communicative and sent me daily updates. I love that he sent me pictures and videos throughout the day so I could see that my doggies were happy and enjoying backyard time with Tony, Minnie, Diamond, Roxie and Charlie.”


“Chloe is a phenomenal dogsitter! The whole process was easy, and Chloe herself is a very kind and considerate person. I loved her updates and felt great knowing Gus was in the absolute best of hands during my business trip.”


“Amazing sitter - her place is set up for a dog's dream, she sends frequent great pictures, and really seemed to treat my dog fantastically! Look forward to using her again.”


“Sable was in great hands for her four night stay. Rachel took great care of Sable, communicated regularly, sent us a bunch of pictures and was a delight to interact with. Highly recommended!!”


“My dog Violet had a great stay with Sara and Rob. We were visiting from out of town and needed a sitter. I really appreciated all the updates and photos to put me at ease and know that Violet was getting all the love! They even sent her home with a little goodie bag of treats and a Polaroid photo. Thank you so much!”


“Shona was very comforting. I was a little nervous about my doggy being around other dogs since he hasn’t been fully exposed to them. However, Shona made me feel very comfortable by giving me updates on how things were going as well as sending me pictures. I really appreciate her fast communication skills and how well she followed my instructions. I will definitely book with her again. My doggy really enjoyed her company!”
