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! 🐾

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

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!

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! 🥰

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!

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.

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.
