“Awesome to work with and always enthusiastic about watching my husky pup. They were flexible and took his needs into consideration and gave me updates frequently. Would book with them again and do highly recommend to others!”
4. David E.
“Can’t thank David and his family enough for taking such good care of our boy. It is such a nice feeling knowing our pup is safe and having a blast when we are away.”
5. Sabrina H.
“Sabrina was absolutely wonderful and a perfect fit for my dog! She provided updates through pictures and videos of my dog and made me feel comfortable with the fact that I was away from my pup. She also took her for walks throughout the day, which I know my dog Eleanor just loved.”
6. Kristopher R.
“I can’t say enough about how amazing of a time Lucy had when she was with Kristopher and the family. And we were at ease knowing she was in great hands being treated so well. This family is definitely animal people and really seem to “get” dogs (and their humans). We had been looking and praying for a perfect setup for Lucy for when we go out of town and I’m thrilled that we found it. I love that they have other friendly dogs they own and watch, they have such a wonderful setup to keep everyone happy. I literally don’t think Lucy missed us one time which makes us happy:) she gets to have as much fun as we are - making new friends, having adventures and was well loved and cared for. We are already booked for our next trips.”
7. Ashleigh V.
“Our pup, Sugaree, spent a few nights at Ashleigh's while we were at a music festival. Much to our delight when we picked her up, we were told that she had attended Ashleighs pups birthday party. They had pup cakes, pup ice cream, birthday hats, treat bags, two pup pools, a splashpad, and a charcuterie board for pups. Sugaree couldn't have had more fun. We are so grateful to have found Ashleigh on Rover. Thanks Ashleigh!”
8. Linda C.
“Good communicator, took great care of our Bo Bear. Her dogs are very friendly too!! Fenced backyard is so nice and she has lots of gates inside to accommodate door dashers (like mine). Would book again. A++. Thanks so much Linda!!”
9. Dan G.
“Dan was great! Super nice guy, he sent us updates with photos throughout our trip. He has a nice big home with the perfect open yard. His dog was so sweet and friendly, our dog made friends with her immediately and was a great companion. We would definitely hire Dan again.”
10. Raluca T.
“Raluca is not only a wonderful person - she is a great dog sitter! Very communicative. Love seeing all the updates knowing my pup is in good hands! Great setup at home with a fenced in yard as well. I would highly recommend. I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks Raluca!”
11. Diane L.
“This was our first time using Diane to board our dog, and she had him for nine days. To me, that’s a long time, but it was obvious when we picked him up that she had cared for him as her own. It was important to her to try to keep his routine as normal as possible, which we appreciated. We highly recommend Diane!”
12. Michelle M.
“Michelle was great!! Dagger was nervous initially but by the end of the stay he had made himself at home and befriended Michelle’s dogs. I can tell he had a blast because he came home and slept for days! Michelle also was great at updating us on how he was doing. Definitely will rebook with Michelle for future trips!”
13. Tatyana W.
“Tatyana was so wonderful with my dog, Bella! I don’t think I could’ve felt more comfortable leaving her with anybody else! She kept me updated with pictures the whole stay which was very nice, plus it looked my dog was having the time of her life! If your looking for somebody to leave your fur baby with, Tatyana is highly recommended! We will definitely book with her again in the future ?☺️?”
14. Paige L.
“Paige gets a 10 out of 5 stars from us! We were nervous about leaving our spunky puppy with anyone during our trip, and Paige was extraordinary. She and Decky were loving and took such great care of Maisy. Her care gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our travels. She sent us so many photos and went above and beyond what we asked carewise. THANK YOU!!”

17. Brenton F.
“Brenton is a fantastic sitter! He is my go-to person when I need someone to care for my dog Nero. Brenton is trustworthy, responsible, fun and affectionate with dogs and Nero just adores him! Brenton's dog Rook is also great company for Nero and a welcome guest when Brenton is house sitting. Brenton sends lots of updates and pictures when I'm away and always responds quickly. I can always count on Brenton to provide wonderful care - I highly recommend him!”
