“Ron is the best sitter. He's attentive and loving to my little Frenchie. He has a beautiful and safe yard for the dogs. it's like they are going to summer camp.”



“We have two small terrier mixes and they’re always calm and happy when we pick them up after a stay with Sheila and David. Sheila sends cute messages and picture/video updates during each stay and we’re always comforted knowing our pups are being well taken care of. We moved across town a couple years ago and still choose to book with her whenever we can. She has a great indoor and outdoor set up for our smaller pups and plenty of space for them to run and play. We highly recommend her ☺️”


“Sylvie was a fantastic choice for watching my sweet pup over a long weekend! Very responsive, reliable, and my dog came back happy and relaxed. That's always a great sign! She provided me with wonderful video and photo updates during the long weekend, which I love. Definitely looking forward to booking with her in the future again!”


“Christina did a great job! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and took great care of ours. No issues whatsoever. Sent us frequent updates and photos, which were much appreciated. 10/10! Definitely recommend!”


“Water and John were very good with communication and took care of my girl like she was one of their own. It was my first time leaving my newly adopted older dog at a sitters, and I knew she was going to have some ptsd and worries of abandonment, but my girl ended up relaxing and enjoying her time with Water and John. I appreciated the pictures and daily check ins. I’ll definitely be using them again!”


“Amazing experience. My dog was always a nervous wreck when being left at the kennel. This was my first try at leaving him with a sitter. Angel took such good care of Mikie. Staying with her was like his second home. I would definitely leave my dog with her again!”


“Darlene took phenomenal care of my little guy while I was in town for work. He seemed to have the best time and was genuinely excited to walk in her door. She even convinced him to eat (he’s very picky) and sent photos to let me know he was doing ok! Next time we’re in town we will be coming back for sure!! Thank you!!!”


“Miriam was exceptional! She took care of our dog Kobe for a week when we were out of town. We got daily updates with pictures showing Kobe was having so much fun! There were lots of play time and snuggle time with her family. She has a beautiful, clean house with a spacious backyard, a perfect setup for any dog. We highly recommend her and we are looking forward to be back soon.”


“This was our second booking with Daniel, and it was for almost a week. My dog remembered him and was so excited to be back that he didn’t even say goodbye to me! Daniel sent lots of cute pictures while I was away, and I could tell when I picked my lil guy up, that he had been well cared for and felt at ease there. He also had a couple other dogs to play with, so that was nice to see. When I had an emergency on the road, Daniel gladly let me book an additional night and I was so appreciative of that. Thank you for the incredible service!!!”


“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”


“Gina was so great with Hazel! Hazel can be a bit of a flight risk, so we’re always a little nervous about that, but Gina was very understanding and assured us they would be extra cautious. Gina sent pictures throughout Hazel’s stay and kept us updated. She took her to the dog park and on car rides which is perfect for Hazel who is high energy! She was also very flexible with meet and greet and pick up/drop off times as our schedule requires a later time. Would definitely book again!”


“Rachel took exceptional care of our doggie Yuki during our trip. Yuki felt right at home and had a wonderful time. Rachel was very flexible and communicative, sent a us pictures every day and cared for Yuki as if he was part of the family. Thank you Rachel!”


“This was our first time booking through Rover.com and we couldn't be happier. Shawna & Ethan were great. When we met them, it was clear to us that they are dog lovers. Their home is in a lovely location and very dog-friendly. They have an established routine with their own dogs, and it is very much like what our dog is used to. While we were gone to attend an out of town wedding, they sent us pictures of our dog and the activities they were all doing. It was so nice, because we knew he was happy and we didn't need to worry about how he was doing. We will definitely book with Shawna and Ethan again when the need arises. It's a relief to have your pet taken care of by someone you trust rather than a kennel where they are basically ignored. Five stars for Shawna & Ethan - would give them more if that was an option.”


“Carmen is awesome, we had to extend our booking another night last minute and she made it so easy. She sends pictures of your pups everyday so you always know they’re having a good time. Our boys had so much fun with her and slinky!”


“Cameron and Tyson are awesome sitters who took really good care of my dog Max. They were really accommodating for drop off and pick up, and went above and beyond to make Max's stay with them fun and relaxing. Max had a great time with their pets and we got a lot of updates and pictures throughout his stay. We will definitely contact them again to take care of Max.”



“Walter and his wife did a wonderful job watching our girl Selena. Walter answered every text right away and sent me pictures. I highly recommend Walter and his wife and I would use them again without a doubt. Thank you both so much for taking such good care of her while we Handled our move.”



“Rosie loves staying with Kay and Tim. Cricket and Sammy are very welcoming and it gives Rosie a chance to interact with other dogs while her humans are away. We appreciate the flexibility and graciousness of Kay. She offers the perfect home away from home!!”


“We just moved to Tucson and were looking for a responsible sitter for Maya. Rhoda and her husband took great care of our dog, always get us informed on a daily basis and shared many photos. We were at peace during our vacation knowing that Maya was in good hands! Highly recommend them!”
