1. Veronique G.

“The best dog sitter I have met. Daisy was so happy with them. They were so attentive to her and always sending me pictures of all the fun and activities they had with daisy. I will gladly have her as my dog sitter for daisy whenever I need and would definitely recommend to anybody who needs a dog sitter. Thank you so much Veronique you are the best. ☺️😬”


2. Erich & May D.

“Do yourself a favor and book with May and Erich! My husband and I were visiting from out of state for a wedding and needed someone to watch our dog for a few days. We felt so comfortable leaving our girl in their care. Erich and May were accommodating, warm, and welcoming and truly so excited to watch our dog! They have a lovely home with a yard and May sent me plenty of updates throughout the entire stay which was much appreciated :) our only complaint is that we don’t live close enough to utilize their services regularly! Thank you again both of you!”




3. Teresa P.


“Teresa is absolutely amazing!!! We felt so comfortable letting our boys stay with her after we met her. She is so caring and kind. Her home is inviting and comfortable. She kept in contact with us and even sent us pictures. My boys are a little high maintenance and will definitely give us an attitude when we pick them up from dog sitters in the past and I am so happy to report our boys came home very happy and healthy.”




4. Denise I.


“I have a 13 year old Chihuahua named Oakley, who has never been left with anyone outside of family. We planned a vacation and had no one available to watch Oakley, then someone told me about Rover.com. That’s where I found Denise. After a meet and greet, I can tell Denise had a true love of animals. I was no longer stressed about leaving Oakley with someone else. He was in a caring and safe environment, and was in very good hands. Denise always kept in touch, and sent pictures of Oakley often. I’m very pleased with the care Oakley got and recommend Denise highly.”




5. Joanne B.

“Joanne was extremely easy to deal with, she was very flexible with drop off/pickup times despite the uncertainty of when we’d be back from our vacation due to traffic. She took great care of Cali, and sent us updates throughout the day which gave us comfort that our girl was okay. We’ll definitely be using Joanne in the future if needed!”


6. Jamie G.

“Jamie is so wonderful! My puppy Penelope had a wonderful stay with Jamie. We are grateful to have found her! Thanks so much our girl will be back!”




7. Paula & James W.


“Paula was just wonderful! My hound felt comfy and happy from day one and embraced the snuggle. I received photos everyday and was extremely flexible with picks and drops offs. I highly recommend!”




8. Daniel S.


“Our dog had her first stay with Dan this past weekend. It was a very good experience for her and us. Dan and his wife could not have been more accommodating. They kept us updated on how she was adjusting and we felt very at ease. I would highly recommend Dan. We already booked our next stay.”




9. Sandy K.


“Sandy takes great care of our pup Mack and Mack is comfortable staying at her home. We have peace of mind leaving Mack with Sandy, highly recommend!”


10. Thomas & Lauren O.

“Thomas and Lauren took great care of my pup! He was happy and exercised when I picked him up! And they were so understanding and flexible when my flight was delayed. Highly recommend!”


11. Erin T.

“Erin is an absolute gem ! This was the first time I left my fur baby for more than a few days so I was a little anxious but Erin was able to smooth over any anxiety my pup had. She updated me about every single thing and constantly sent pictures to help me feel at ease. I have been a repeat customer with Erin and will continue using her as a sitter anytime I go away. She is absolutely the best ! Definitely recommend!”




12. Gabby G.


“I'm neurotic with my dogs. I don't trust many to take care of them in my absence. But I can say I had none of this with Gabby. She was on top of my concerns and kept me in the loop the whole time. She definitely has top tier experience with dogs and "gets" them. Will rebook again 100%.”


13. Eliana A.


“Eliana was wonderful with our dog! Frankie was with them for 8 nights and it couldn’t have been better! They have a terrific and large fenced backyard with a big patio where Frankie loved to hang out, play and sleep in the sun. She took her out on very frequent walks and sent us pictures of Frankie’s activities every day. We would definitely recommend her, as well as use her again in the future!”




14. Pamela H.

“Words cannot describe how amazing Pam is! I have never left my dogs with someone else before so I was super nervous, but I couldn't have been luckier to find Pam. She made me feel so at ease with picture and text updates daily, and I could tell immediately how much she would love my dogs! I'm pretty sure my dogs did not want to come home and are already looking forward to coming back.”


15. Vanessa M.


“Literally a staycation for our pup. Vanessa went above and beyond with everything !! We received pics and updates daily which put us at ease on vacation. A real home away from home for any dog lucky enough to get time with their family!”


16. joseline f.
“I’ve known Joseline for quite a while. And one thing I learned is that she loves her pets. She treats them as her children. She has two dogs, who are nothing but spoiled with love and affection from Joseline. Every birthday for her babies, she buys them a little cake for them to devour and enjoy. She even told me she would die for them, which probably includes stopping a car from running them over. If I had a dog, Joseline would be the perfect dog sitter.”


17. Alejandro F.

“You can stop looking for a dog sitter here Alex is great I've already asked him if he could do this time next year. His communication was great he answers within minutes he sent pictures and videos. Roscoe (my dog) came home so calm and happy and actually even listen to me better. I highly recommend him”


18. Amber O.

“Awesome and caring sitter, thank u so much”


19. Meg R.


“Meg is amazing!!! This is the first time we left Shelby with a stranger and we were a little nervous. We were afraid Shelby would be depressed, but Meg gave her so much love and attention. I couldn't believe how happy Shelby was. Meg also sent us regular updates and photos every day. It really put us at ease and we were able to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely use Meg in the future! We're so happy we have such a good option now and can't wait for our next vacation! Thank you Meg for taking such good care of our baby!”


20. Debra Z.

“Thank you so much. Debra was very accommodating to watch my two dogs. She sent pictures and communicated with me to make me feel comfortable. Would recommend she was very loving to my pups!”
