1. Christine J.

“Christine took great care of my dog for 3 days. She is clearly experienced at looking after dogs, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. 100% recommend.”


2. Vanessa G.

“I can’t express enough accolades to describe my interaction and my pup’s experience with Vanessa.. she was a God send. Vanessa took care of my fur baby at a critical time, and with short notice, when I was unable to during our move. To my shock and surprise, our dog took to her like she’d been a part of the family. She provided updates and continually reassured me that he was ok. As a mom, we tend to worry about the health and welfare of our pets. I felt a sense of ease during the entire stay. I would give her a million gold stars, and will definitely be reaching back out for future care. Vanessa thanks a million!!!”

5. Alyce P.

“This weekend was our first experience using Rover for a sitter for our pup, Maisie, and we couldn’t have asked for better than Alyce and her family to watch her! Alyce hosted us for a meet and greet beforehand to make sure that Maisie and her dog would get along, which really put our minds at ease. Over the course of her stay, we received several photos and videos of Maisie playing with the other dogs and with Alyce’s sons, and you could just tell she was having a fantastic time. She really liked the variety toys that Alyce keeps for the dogs and roaming the nice, fenced backyard! We appreciated Alyce’s consistent communication and we had no doubt that our dog was in great, responsible hands and also enjoying herself! We would definitely recommend booking with Alyce and are confident we’ll be requesting her services again in the future!”

“Sky was amazing with my senior dog! From the moment we did the meet and greet with her own gentle, friendly dogs, I knew my pup was in good hands. Sky took extra time to understand my dog’s special needs, asking thoughtful questions about her routine, health, and comfort. As an older dog owner, I appreciated how attentive and patient she was, making sure my dog felt safe and well cared for. The daily photo and video updates were a wonderful reassurance, and it was clear my dog was happy and relaxed. I can’t recommend Sky enough, especially for those with senior pets who need that extra bit of care and attention!”
