1. Catherine P.
“Cathy was incredible! We knew she would be a great fit for Jefferson during the meet and greet. He got along well with her dogs and seemed to really like her and her husband. This was the first time that we were ever leaving him so we wanted to make sure he would be comfortable so we wouldn’t have to worry the entire weekend while we were away. This was the best decision we ever made. Jefferson barely said goodbye to us at the drop off and had a fun filled weekend playing with the other dogs. The pictures that Cathy sent reassured us that he was having the time of his life!! I highly, highly, recommend Cathy for any of your dog care needs. She was fabulous and made us feel like he was taken care of better than we ever could have imagined. Jefferson had so much fun from his weekend away that he pretty much slept for two days afterwards. Thank you so much for being such an excellent caregiver, we can’t wait to book his next stay!!”
2. Gina I.
“This was our first time using the Rover app. Me and my family were going away on vacation and needed someone to watch and care for our big boy Ben. We had a meet and greet with Gina and her husband the following day after our request and instantly felt relieve and at ease. They’re super friendly and welcoming people. It’s not easy leaving your fur babies with strangers but we knew we made the right choice. Pick up and drop off was also provided and went pretty smooth. Throughout the week we received many updates, pictures and videos on our Lab. Based on the photos we knew he was happy and being cared for the way we would. We couldn’t have been any happier with Gina and Danny. We are looking forward to using her services in the near future. Thank you so much Gina for caring for Ben. You are amazing !”
3. Maria Z.
“We met Maria and she made us feel very comfortable. We left our dog JoJo with her for five nights for the first time with someone we did not know. She is a very caring person and you can tell she loves dogs. JoJo was a little apprehensive at first, but Maria made her feel comfortable and treated her well. Maria sent us pictures and videos and kept in touch every day .”
4. Angiee P.
“Daisy was well taken care of and loved the attention and the expansive back yard exercise she got. I truly felt confident leaving my baby with Angie! Which says a lot!”
5. Daniel O.
“I felt safe leaving my 17 month old Newfie in Daniel’s hands straight away! He has a really great set-up for the dogs - lots of outdoor space to play and brings them indoors when weather permits. He has cameras all around the property too. I was given updates daily and I knew I could relax that my baby was being looked after. I always worry about the other dogs but Daniel is responsible, knowledable, and seems to intuively know how to handle the animals under his care. I would book with Daniel again when the situation arises! Highly recommend!!!”
6. Donna H.
“Donna was great, very knowledgeable and professional. Very good about giving me feedback regarding Bella. Bella is not used to being with other dogs, but Donna knew just how to help Bella adjust to the situation. Bella was there for 10 days and she did great. I would not hesitate to use Donna again.”
7. Emily W.
“Emily did a great job taking care of our very shy Great Dane puppy. She helped remove any concerns we had with leaving our puppy for the first time. Will definitely look to use Emily again in the future instead of using a kennel.”
8. Melissa B.
“Melissa is perfect ! She sent photos and kept me updated without me having to ask. I was a little nervous dropping off my dog because she is particular about who she is around and also anti social with other dogs. After a day or so I was receiving pictures of my dog interacting with other doggies and allowing Melissa to pick her up! I cannot thank her enough for being patient and kind to my little pepper. She is my new and forever dog sitter. Best decision I made for my dog”
9. Alejandro F.
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! Alex took great care of our dog, Rocco, while we were out of town. We received constant video and picture updates which put our minds at ease. I am completely happy that I picked the perfect sitter. He also had a dog of his own, Bizcocho and other dogs he was watching and they all got along well. 10/10”

11. Toni R.
“Very kind family who took their time to abide the schedule I had provided for my dog, as well as updated me constantly on his well being. Very kind, extroverted children who love dogs as well. Thank you greatly.”
12. Ann F.
“Our dog Maggie had such a great time with Ann and her family. Between catching wiffle balls or playing in a kiddie pool, Maggie was well looked after and enjoyed lots of play time. Ann is a very loving and caring person and we knew immediately Maggie was in great hands. The backyard is safe and fenced in with plenty of space to run around. Ann gave daily updates with photos and videos! Highly recommend!!”
13. Gabby G.
“Gabby is amazing! Absolutely love her. It was my first time leaving my dog with someone that wasn't family so I was nervous about it. After meeting Gabby, i knew she would take good care of my dog. She constantly updated me on how the stay was going and sent many pictures. You can tell Gabby loves dogs and that she is truly a good person. Couldn't be happier!”
14. Natalia V.
“Natalia is the best! She treats our fur baby like her baby. She has been our sitter for just about 2 years and she is awesome. This weekend, she attended a Halloween party with our yorkie and put her in costume too!! She was so cute. If you are having reservations about booking Natalia, DON’T!! Go ahead and make that reservation.”
15. Alev G.
“Alev is wonderful! Susie is so comfortable in her home and very loved. Alev keeps us updated with daily photos and even treated her to a “pup cup” at Starbucks! Alev is a kind, soft spoken woman who makes us feel so very comfortable when traveling. Thanks Alev! 👍😘”
16. Lisa & Michael W.
“Lisa & Michael were the absolute best caretakers for my 3 month old baby!!! They are sweet, loving, and patient! I was a nervous wreck leaving my puppy for a long weekend, but they were so reassuring and sent me updates and pictures every day. Wilson came home happy and healthy. He misses his new friends already! We will certainly be back.”
17. Veronique G.
“Truly a wonderfully easy experience. I have never had someone watch my dogs before, so I was nervous about leaving them. They were amazing and made this whole process seamless from the very beginning. From the moment I was considering to book with them, I asked if we could do a meet and greet to make sure my pups get along with theirs. Without hesitation, they had us come over to do so. They were responsive and easily reachable. They sent us tons of photos and videos of our pups while they were in their care. They took amazing care of my dogs and contacted me with any questions or concerns about them. Again, we can’t thank you enough! Highly recommend booking with them!!!!!”
18. Eric & Valerie F.
“We had a wonderful experience with Eric and Valerie watching our dog, Hooper, for an extended weekend. From the initial meet and greet, it was clear they genuinely care about pets. They took the time to understand Hooper's needs and routines, which put us at ease. Throughout our time away, they kept us updated with daily pictures and messages, showing how much fun Hooper was having. Their attentiveness and affection made a world of difference. We couldn't have asked for better sitters and will definitely reach out to them again in the future!”
19. Amit & Amanda P.
“Amit and Amanda were great sitters in FiDi! This was my first time placing Fitz with them and he was super comfortable and playful with them from the start. They sent plenty of cute photos and updates throughout the day and kept me posted on how he was doing. I can tell he was well taken care of, and we'll definintely be back in the future! :)”
20. Kimberline P.
“Kimberline was a the perfect host for our Sadie. Our dog ran into her house and never looked back. When we picked her up she was happy to see me, but ai knew she missed Kimberline and her family.”
