“Tich was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Cooper, for his first nights away from us. She’s a true professional: caring, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. She shared helpful tips, kept us updated with lovely photos, and made Cooper feel completely at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with her again.”
“José, was a great host, he always sent us photos and warned us when she took it out, he complied with the routine that our dog was used to, we felt very confident from the beginning, excellent host!”
“Juan Pablo provided an amazing environment for my timid pup! He sent frequent updates and pictures and I felt comfortable knowing my dog was safe and well cared for. Would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Jessica was fantastic. She kept me updated with texts, vids, and photos, and Snickers had a great time with her son. I definitely recommend Jessica for your dog sitting needs.”
“Ariel has been amazing keeping an eye on my baby Carmen! I travel a-lot for work and she’s been able to watch her for multiple days at a time. She’s great at communicating, sends pictures each day, and also makes sure to give her exercise everyday. I moved down here not too long ago and have struggled a bit with money, and she’s been great at being able to work with me on pricing! Ariel is great and I highly recommend you reaching out to her to watch your dogs! 👏🏻👍”

“Nicole, is the sitter I was hoping for, I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to leave my Angel under her care. Romeo felt at home, the love and care she has for her own family, she extended to mine. No doubt, love multiplies in this home. Thank you Nicole!”
“Finding someone you trust to watch your dog is a big deal! Adrian was wonderful with Mica and sent many pictures where he looked very happy. The doggy playmates were wonderful for him. Adrian has an obvious love and compassion and it shows in Mica when he came home. We will be using her again.”
“Would definitely recommend Kelly! We are so glad we found Kelly and Kyle! They looked after our dog for an extended stay and we were so grateful for all the help and amazing care they gave. Kelly sent lots of updates including fun photos and videos which we loved! The stay included lots of walks and playtime in their yard with their amazing dog Eggie. Would absolutely trust Kelly to look after our dog again.”
“Thank you so much Elizabeth! Your boys were so sweet with our Rigo. You were able to manage his anxiety extremely well. It is such a great feeling to know our fur babies are cared and loved. You will be seeing Rigo again. Thanks again.”
“This is Mochi's third stay with Edward. The gentleman is considerate with unexpected changes to your booking and is always great with updates. 5/5 stars for Edward!”
“Awesome petsitter! I had a great experience with Kathye. She sent me pictures every day, which put me at ease. Bella had a really good time there. Kathye is really nice, professional, and patient. I will love to have her again taking care of my baby girl. Thank you so much Kathye!”
“Camilla and her mom were wonderful. They sent pictures of my dogs everyday to update us. They have a gated house which I loved. Both my dogs are medium sized. Would leave my babies with them again. Thank you ladies!”
“They pay so much attention to my doggo and treat him as if he is theirs. I know my pup is safe and happy with these amazing hosts. My dog didn’t even want to leave!! H loves them and their dog Riley so much 💕”
“Very nice couple. Attentive to detail when i dropped both of my dogs off. Sent me photos but at my request not a hundred photos. Both dogs happy when i arrived to pick them up.”
“Raquel is absolutely the best. She truly is a blessing to have in our community! I cannot express how much comfort I feel leaving my pup with her, my usual (helicopter mom) anxiety goes away when Raquel can watch my dog. The photos and videos daily are the best. I know Riley is having the best vacation too :)”
“Ekaterina, took care of my precious puppy like her own child for more than a week…..Took my puppy on walks. She has had a her own dog so she understands the toilet needs for my precious puppy. She only cares for one puppy at a time so my puppy got full attention. Highly recommend her!!!!”
“Highly recommend! This was my first time using a sitter and needless to say, I was extremely nervous. Since I had never left my Henry alone, much less for several days, and I am so grateful to have found Elizabeth and her husband. I received a message with a picture of my baby boy each day. Honestly, those pictures and messages made my day. It truly put me at ease. If you are looking for some one to care of your fur baby, then Elizabeth is THE ONE!”
Idlewyld dog parents share their Rover experiences
Talk about an amazing first experience with boarding my dog! Maisa was highly communicative, and caring and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. She sent pics and videos regularly and ensured my dog had fun. I would absolutely book with her next time we’re in the area. When my dog comes back dirty and tired I know she had a blast playing with her new friends. I can’t thank her enough for the experience and I strongly recommend anyone looking for a sitter in the area to consider her. Worth every single penny.
David is reliable, kind & loving to our dog, Harley. David made our cruise better by sending text pictures & videos everyday to us. We could see how happy Harley was in his care. We were very satisfied with Harley’s stay at David’s place. David only sits one pet at a time, which was super important for us as Harley is a rescue & is intimidated by other dogs! Thank you so much Rover for having people like David to care of our pets!
Jennie was great! I knew she would be after our initial meeting. She took great care of my little buddy and will be the first person I check with when needing boarding moving forward. Great communication, adorable photo & video check ins daily. My pup felt right at home at Jennie’s. Thanks, Jennie!
Angela was an amazing sitter for Hero. She got our pup super comfortable and relaxed with her in a very short amount of time and she was very communicative and prompt. Her place is also super safe and fun for dogs. Highly recommend Angela and will definitely work with her again the next time we are in town.
Kristina was fantastic. I was in town for a company holiday party and she was available last minute. She was prompt with her response, very friendly, and kept me up to date with how Luigi was doing. Plenty of pictures of them having fun. I would highly recommend Kristina!
Anita was not only great at communication with me but she was an excellent host to my 75 pound golden! She made him feel right at home from the beginning and really listened to his (my) needs. If we lived in the area permanently, I would absolutely use her again. Thanks for taking such good care of Luc, Anita!
