“Great host! Maggie had a great weekend with Zak while I was traveling. He sent pictures throughout the stay and Maggie seemed to be in high spirits the entire time. Would definitely use again!”


“Alison is a wonderful pet sitter. My two dogs were boarded in their home over Memorial Day weekend and they were very happy. From consistent photo updates to making sure they got plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and love, my dogs were treated like royalty. The backyard and house are super safe and perfect for dogs. Communication was excellent throughout. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe and cozy home for their pets.”

“Gladys was amazing! She went above and beyond for Oreo. She was so considerate, asked me how much I would like to be updated per day, shared how Oreo was doing physically and emotionally (Oreo was so comfortable and happy there). All of the items I dropped off with Oreo were cleaned and returned perfectly. Gladys even asked if Oreo could have some of her Churu treats. So kind! Thank you Gladys!”

“Chong was great! She took great care of my 3 y/o Goldendoodle Maggie. Maggie needs special supervision since she has a habit of getting into socks and other items. Chong was very diligent about keeping an eye on Maggie and keeps a very clean home, which gave me confidence that Maggie was set up for success. Chong’s dog Gus is a sweetheart and Maggie came back happy and tired. Thanks so much Chong! 🐾”

“Sarswati and her son were great with my dog Tully! She took him for long walks during the day, had play time and lots of cuddles! I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care and would highly recommend!”

“Erin and Devin were absolutely wonderful sitters for my dog! From the moment we connected, they were communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. I felt completely at ease knowing my Aussie was in such caring hands. They provided daily updates, gave plenty of attention, and made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for the entire stay. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Erin and Devin again”

“Cynthia was great with Benji! She communicated well, sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and was very professional and kind. I felt confident that Benji was in good hands. I definitely recommend her and would book with her again!”

“Cody was very good with my dog. He sent pics and kept me updated on how Toby was doing. They played fetch and tug-a-war. I would highly recommend Cody to care for your pet! A +!”

“George was very happy in Amy&Justin care. We received frequent and positive updates about his stay. There were very flexible and easy to communicate with us. We are very satisfied and would recommend!”

“Alexis and her family were absolutely wonderful with our dog Rio. This was our first time using this type of boarding service an I was a bit nervous. Her husband greeted me when I dropped Rio off and was so nice and easy going. It made me instantly feel at ease. During Rio’s stay, Alexis sent pictures and videos of Rio having the time of his life. One of my kids said “Do you think he’s even going to want come home” LOL. If you want your dog to be loved and treated like part of of a family while you’re gone I HIGHLY recommend using Alexis and her family!! 10/10 in my book!”

“Darlene was amazing with our dog! She kept in touch the whole time and sent lots of cute pics, which totally put me at ease while we were away. You can tell she really loves animals and took great care of our puppy. He looked super happy and came home exhausted from all the fun. Definitely booking with her again!”

“Laura took care of our 19 year old poodle and did a great job! She sent us messages to keep us posted on how Mochi was doing and also a video of Mochi eating which was a concern because she is a picky eater. Mochi spent time in her backyard and was even described as frolicking which showed us mochi was happy and relaxed at Laura’s! We definitely recommend Laura to watch your babies! 🥰”

“Barbara and family was very kind and welcoming to my dog. She asked all the questions that made me feel like my girl was going to be well taken care of even to the extent of switching her sleeping habits to my dog’s. I highly recommend! Thank you so much for taking care of my girl!”

“I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Derek and Leslie. There quick responses to the messages, sending pictures of your dog and giving updates on the daily activities makes us feel happy and relaxed. Thanks for the help.”

“Johnna and her family were wonderful with my Kai. He seemed very happy and well taken care of during the week long boarding stay. She was great about providing photos and updates daily, and taking him on little adventures.”

“Pranavi went above and beyond when taking care of my pups. She sent updates and photos throughout their stay, and made sure they had what they needed to feel at home. One of my pups wasn’t feeling well due to just coming off some medications, so Pranavi offered to feed her rice and yogurt to settle her stomach. It was so helpful to know she was well taken care of while I was away!”

“Reginay is an amazing person!! She looked after my dog very well and she was able to share a lot of pictures and kept me up to date on how my dog was doing through the whole booking. I would highly recommend her to anyone using this app. She goes above and beyond for our pets!!!”

Alexis and Family were great once again! They were excited to welcome Shadow back and introduce Tallulah to their crew. She was accommodating to both their needs and behaviors (Shadow recently had an accident and required meds and restricted exercise) and sent me regular updates and pictures!

Darlene was so great to our puppies! She watched all three of my dogs and all three had such a great time. She sent SO many updates and photos it made me so happy. They almost didn’t want to leave 😆. I would definitely book with Darlene as many times as I can in the future!

Chong gave us daily updates of our little four legged child and took great care of our doggy who is a bit shy to warm up. Gus also is the goofiest but most respectful little man and is so adaptable to any dog personality. Chong definitely made our trip easy by giving us piece of mind and we will be going back to her for our future trips!

Melissa was a great sitter for my dog over the holidays. She sent pictures to update me on how my dog was doing and went above and beyond to make sure his stay would be comfortable. Melissa was also very flexible and communicative when my flights were delayed and I wasn’t sure about a pickup time. Would absolutely consider booking Melissa again in the future.

Marian did an amazing job caring for my dog Charlotte for five nights in my home. She was professional and respectful throughout. Although it was my first time meeting someone through the Rover website, upon meeting her, she had my full trust. Charlotte is a very active dog and can be a handful. Marian took her to the dog park every day and kept her busy with play time in the evening. She communicated with me regularly and sent photos so I didn't have to worry. I am sure Charlotte missed us, but we came home to a happy dog. I feel lucky to have found a person to help us care for Charlotte who is as kind and knowledgeable as Marian. I hope to have her dog sit for me again in the future.

Jennifer was amazing with our puppy Juniper. She took such great care of her. You can tell she loves dogs and is great with them based on how well behaved her own are. We appreciate the extra care and attention she provided for our puppy and will most certainly book with her again. We also loved the photos and videos sent while we were away. Thank you Jennifer!

Natalie was warm, sweet, and took GREAT care of our girl. She is extremely competent and even watched our elderly dog who was in the middle of a gastroenteritis flair up requiring medication and close watching as she’s been super sick. I will DEFINITELY use Natalie again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Natalie for the peace of mind leaving Lila overnight with you while she has been so sick!! So grateful to have found you 💕
