“Kyler is a great communicator. It was super easy to work with him and easy to enjoy my out of town trip know my dog was in great hands”


“Sapna was so great with my fur baby, River. She was very receptive to River's needs and checked in with me about any concerns. I received multiple photos and videos during my trip. I will definitely use her again. I'm so happy I found her on Rover.”


“Timmy felt like a star staying with Maria and her family! He looked so happy (and photogenic) in the numerous photos and videos she sent throughout his stay. They were very accommodating when we had to change our pickup time due to flight delays, and it was nice to be able to have one less thing to stress about knowing Timmy was in good hands. Timmy would definitely stay with Maria again in the future!”


“Denah is an absolute gem dog sitter for our old girl. Her place is so clean and neat and very dog friendly makes me always feel so reassured leaving our pup. We had requested for her to dog sit back to back weekends and she did so without hesitation. She brought our pup to the dog park even with the short stays. Lots of cute photos too! Thanks so much Denah!!”


“Tressa was great, she kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and how my boy was adjusting! Thank you for watching Blue, we would definitely be coming back again !!”


“Alayna was great while taking care of our fur baby, she constantly sent photos and updates. We will definitely rebook when we need a sitter for our baby.”


“Darius was amazing! I have a high energy puppy and Darius kept him entertained and happy. Darius sent videos throughout the day and was always responsive.”


“Gus had a great time at Krysta’s! She took amazing care of him while we were out of town.”


“Michael is responsive and reliable! Sent us lots of pictures and kept us up to date. Responds to messages very quickly. Our pup had a good time”


“Natali is amazing! our very large 2 year old is used to a lot of attention and affection and we know he got plenty. Between the pictures and videos sent daily to the descriptions of what they were doing we know he was in heaven. Natali was so calm, flexible, and easy going, communicative. I cannot give a higher rating or I would! My only fear is she will be booked constantly because all of her 5 star ratings, well deserved! We are very particular about who we leave our dogs with and I can say without any reservations she is the absolute best! Thanks Natali, pretty sure that Jack is missing all the fun he had with you on his vacation.”


“This was my first time using Marcela & Michelle. They went above and beyond to assure me that my dog was in the best care. They sent me photos and videos daily, even without me asking! I’ve never felt more assured that my dog was being well taken care of. Highly recommend and will definitely use them next time I need a sitter!”


“Lidia took great care of my dogs over the weekend! She communicated with me during their stay by sending updates with pictures. I felt assured that my dogs were in great hands! She was super flexible with me dropping and picking up the dogs. I will definitely be using her again in the future, highly recommend her to watch your dogs!”



“Ewere was very accommodating during the ice storm in Houston. I work for a medical hospital and wasn’t able to leave for 36hrs after I got back from my travels. She ensured me that it would not be a problem for her to watch Mariah until I was able to leave. I was originally suppose to pick her up Sunday @ 12pm but wasn’t able to until Wednesday around 8pm, and Ewere was able to accommodate me while also still being professional and communicative.”


“Deja is amazing! My pups were so comfortable with her, they were very well taken care of, and had an amazing time! She is highly communicative and exceptional.”


“Reva is the sweetest. Very professional and was the perfect sitter for my first time using Rover. She sent tons of pictures and videos. Quick responses always. My Braxton came back in one piece no bumps or bruises and very happy. 10/10 would definitely recommend her.”


“I'm incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my three fur babies to stay! Leigh boarded my cats at her place and went above and beyond to take care of them while I was away. From regular updates and photos to ensuring they were well-fed and comfortable, Leigh's attention to detail and genuine care for animals truly shone through. I returned to find my cats relaxed and content, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they received at Leigh's home. I highly recommend Leigh's boarding services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring environment for their pets!”


“Our little pup was super happy staying with Aseela ! Aseela was super communicative as well by sending pictures and keeping us posted on our puppy’s daily activities. I’m so glad we found someone who cares for our puppy just like we would !”


“Literally the most amazing pet sitters ever!! They treat your dog like they were their own and go above and beyond to make sure they are healthy and well taken care of. They are extremely loving and attentive, and we got constant updates on how Shyla was doing during her stay. She also enjoyed playing in the pool with the other pups! They made sure that her every need was taken care of including massaging her feet, aromatherapy, making custom lick mats for when she was in her crate and lots of cuddling time. A+++ sitters, I would recommend them to all pet pawrents for a five star experience and above and beyond level of care!”


“Kimberly great with my two dogs. She was able to accommodate my busy schedule and very responsive. My dogs felt super comfortable and will definitely book again.”


“My dog is very anxious and can be weird about taking walks, but Ryan was great at letting him get used to him/comfortable with him and was even able to get him to go on walks after a while. I really appreciated Ryan’s text and picture updates because I miss my pup so much when I’m away from him! He was always super quick to respond, and his apartment location is really convenient as well. I will be using Ryan again!”
