“Maria was the best and took care of baby boy. I felt at peace and enjoyed my vacation knowing he was in good hands. She provided photos and videos. I will definitely book again.”

“Hi Sue- thank you very much for taking such a good care of our Bruno.... He can’t stop talking about you and Harley! See you next time! Kamil, Raymond and Bruno”

“We have spent a long time looking for a boarding option that we feel comfortable with and I am glad we finally found Brian! He made us feel confident that our pup was well taken care of with his knowledge and love for dogs as well as the pictures and updates we received while we were away. He is very good with communication and was flexible on timing. It was a positive experience in every way!”

“Andrea was my first sitter on Rover. It couldn't be better. After meeting her and her family I went very calmly on my vacation. Athena would stay with her again without a doubt.”

“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”

“Rob again is an outstanding sitter. He goes above and beyond. Plays with Nova daily and gives her so much love and care. I’m in a situation where is travel and he has taken on keeping her as I find her a new forever home.”

“Clarissa is absolutely amazing! She took amazing care of my pup and I’m looking forward to having her watch him again. She sent lots of pictures, communicated often, and just has amazing energy.”

“Rico did a great job taking care of our senior rescue dog, Fritz! He sent lots of pictures, was quick to respond when I asked a question, and was very tolerant of Fritz’s quirks . We could tell Fritz was treated like part of the family!”

“Marija was amazing! Our pup( senior dog) was unexpectedly just off of major surgery and barely off of restricted activity. And she made sure everything was perfect for him. She gave us daily updates many pictures. He was the happiest dog ever to have playmates. She has a lot of dogs come in and out, but they’re all really friendly. Highly recommend.”
“Deb and Doug and family take such great care of Jenny. Lots of attention. It is truly like a second home for her! She is looking forward to more visits.”

“Laura and Vldimir were great host and I can tell Ruby enjoyed her stay while she was there. They also sent out photos so I can see how Ruby was doing while she was staying with them. I would totally book them again for Ruby.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!”

“Conor and family provided a safe and calm boarding experience for our active pup. Teagan came home calm and content. We received updates from Conor and our dog had fun playing with resident dog AJ. Thank you Conor for hosting Teagan!”


“Joe and Camille have a beautiful home, with a wonderful and fenced back yard. They take awesome care of my 17-yr old Chiweenie, Charlie. And they only take one dog at a time.”

“I’m so grateful I found Julia! She is so reliable, kept me updated, sent lots of photos and really gave me peace of mind when watching my fur baby! I’m absolutely booking her again for anytime. I need a puppysitter!”

“Joe took care of our 7mo old puppy for the weekend. It was our first time away from her and we were worried about how she would do with someone other than us. She did amazingly well and seemingly had a great time. I’m not surprised, Joe has a very welcoming and warm persona, it is obvious that he loves animals and he will treat yours as his own. He sent us pictures, video and updates all weekend long.”


“Arlene took great care of my dog Scout! There were no issues at all! I recommend her to anyone looking for someone to watch your dog for an extended period”

“Jackie is amazing. This is my third time using her and I couldn’t be happier. She sends tons of videos and updates, which really puts my mind at ease, and it’s obvious how well she takes care of Teddy. He’s always happy, relaxed, and clearly loved when he’s with her. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”

“Tammy was the best taking care of Vinnie!! She was available last minute when I couldn’t get anyone else to sit him and was very responsive, which I really appreciate. Vinnie got to play with the other dogs at the house and run off some energy. Will definitely be using Tammy again!!”

Andrea and her husband were absolutely amazing. They were in constant contact and send TONS of videos and pictures. Our dog can be a little anxious in new environments but we were never concerned how she was doing. I highly recommend Andrea and will absolutely ask her to watch Luna again.
Kaitlin was so great with Piper and Otis. She asked a number of questions about the dogs and their preferences ahead of the stay, which showed how much she cared about making them feel comfortable and at home. She was also super communicative, which helped make the process seem less.
