“Nathaly and her family are amazing ! They go above and beyond to take care of Ruby, who has stayed with them 4 times. Nathaly always sends us updates and photos. We are lucky to have found such a great family to take care of Ruby !”


“Robin and Dan are so loving and caring with our nervous pup Blanca. Their level of care and attention is unmatched—we are so lucky to be their clients and can’t wait for Blanca’s next visit.”


“Mary and her husband were great! They had a separate cat room where Misty stayed and was super communicative and flexible around pick up and drop off times. Mary also sent a lot of pictures and kept us updated throughout our cat's stay which we really appreciated. She even went out of her way to get special treats for our cat early in our cat's stay when she had a limited appetite. Overall, we definitely recommend her to others and are planning on having Misty stay with them again. :)”


“Anna and Jason were so great with my dog Warren while I was away for the holidays! They gave great updates each and every day to let me know how Warren was doing. They kept Warren very active and I could tell that he felt right at home! Also, Anna and Jason’s dog Lucky was an added bonus, since Lucky and Warren became fast friends and played together often.”


“My Layla was usually watched by my grandmother, however recently she moved a few hours away. I decided to start looking for a dog sitter that would hopefully treat my dog like their own. I got lucky with Olivia and Drew, such a kind genuine couple. My Layla is my baby and she felt right at home. Love the pictures and communication was great. Definitely feel comfortable and will bring my baby back when we plan more trips.”


“I usually have a hard time leaving my dog at any boarding services, but Cindy made it so easy. She went above and beyond with regular updates, messages, and photos that showed my dog was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her communication was excellent and her genuine love for animals really came through. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate pet care!”


“Tracey was super communicative and cared for Leo well. She has a great set up and nice neighborhood for dogs, and her 2 boxer buddies were so friendly. Would definitely book again!”


“Nina was great and my pet was happy staying in her home. Nina communicated well and before booking with her we met so my pet can get to know her before the stay. During my vacation, Nina would send me pictures of my pet and messages about how she was doing. I was satisfied with her care and would definitely recommend her to others and use her again in the future. Thank you!”


“April and Josh did an amazing job taking care of my GermanShepard-Husky Stella. They sent me many photos and videos of how she was doing. My dog is usually very uncomfortable when I am away but she quickly adjusted to staying with them and their very sweet golden named Boba. I would highly recommend them”



“Robert was amazing! Luna had a last minute medical issue and I was nervous to leave her behind while I was gone but he assured me she would be great. Upon dropping her off I met his amazing roommates and everyone was warm and welcoming to my “3rd child”. He clearly communicated and sent pictures daily if not more. Upon picking her up she her ailment was doing great as was her spirits! I highly recommend him and we are certainly using him again in the future. Even our neighbors use him!”


“This was my first Rover experience, and it was great! My family unexpectedly acquired a new four legged member, and we needed a sitter for an upcoming trip. Rachel is very responsive via text and was able to answer any questions or concerns I had. We set up a one night stay and my pup had a great time! I love the pictures that Rachel sent. The pick up and drop off was a nice convenience. We have already booked her again for our vacation.”


“Christina has been wonderful with my dog, Tummy. Sent couple of pictures to update me and my dog seemed comfortable. Easy to talk to and I’m definitely going to book them again.”


“It was a great experience! I was hesitant to board my 4-month-old puppy Jojo at first because of her age. But Ka took wonderful care of her. She’s very experienced with dogs and I was truly impressed by the way that she introduced the puppy to other adult dogs. She sent photos and updates multiple times a day during her stay. My puppy seemed to have a great time at Ka’s place and looked both tired and happy when she got home. I’ll definitely recommend her as dog sitter.”


“As much as I really want to keep Shuvashna to myself, sharing is caring. She is amazing with my fur baby. He knows her name and is excited when he knows he’s going to hang out for the day. Shuvashna takes such great care of him and has really gotten to know him and his little quirks. She has a great place to run around and he is always nice and tired when he gets home. She’s amazing!”


“Adi was amazing with my baby! He accepted a last minute request and saved our day during a hectic time! He reassured us with pictures and videos during the stay! We will definitely be using his services again!”

“Dean is a phenomenal dog sitter, he treated our Piper like his own. He gives you constant updates which we really appreciate. We're so blessed to found him. Highly recommend him for any dog's care. Until next time!”
