“Offered time for my pups to explore and reviewed special instructions for my senior dogs with me before I left. Loved the daily updates and photos!! Appreciate you taking care of my girls, Katya!”
“Emma and Adam were amazing and we are so grateful they were willing to take on our 2 challenging pups for a week. A big huge thank you to their sweet pup Patrick for putting up with our pups. Emma sent pics and updates regularly and kept them on a routine with plenty of walks and exercise. I was super nervous to leave them with someone new for so long but she put my mind at ease and was super supportive. We would not hesitate to have her watch our pups again.”
“Sherrie was wonderful with our dog, Peanut! Easy to work with, great communication, sent lots of pictures, and we could tell Peanut had a great time :) We would definitely book with her again.”
“Marlena was great and super accommodating! I love that Marlena was so active with my dog, she was able to run around and swim and get all her energy out. I'm very grateful for her watching my dog!”
“Toni was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend. Great updates and always kept me in the loop. Would 100% call Toni again to watch my puppy Rico.”
“Rachel always takes great care of Lucy and is my go-to when traveling. Lucy always has lots of fun with the other doggies and comes home happy.”
“Lala was fantastic! She came a little earlier to pick up Cleopatra because of a conflict that arose. On top of that, she kept her a little bit longer than prearranged delivery back home. She sent pictures and descriptions of Cleopatra’s mood and she did much better than I expected.(the cat, not Lala ;)). We definitely recommend her and would use her again.!!”
“Thank you, Brandon! We had a last-minute booking and Brandon was great. We were able to meet up prior to booking and felt comfortable leaving Molly with him. Brandon kept us updated and sent numerous pictures throughout the stay. Molly enjoyed both Brandon and his daughter. Would book again.”
“One of the best Rovers ever!! Yekaterina is amazing with her updates and picture. I was updated throughout my trips. My pups loved staying with her.”
“Lindsey and Jose took amazing care of my fur baby! I ended up dropping her off with an upset stomach after dealing with it for a few days and Lindsey had no problem at all with it and was so kind and caring about it! If you need to leave your senior dog(s) with someone you can trust Lindsey is the woman! She is very flexible and provides daily updates! My doggo looked like she had a very fun time sunbathing in the fenced yard and napping on the couch with them. She even had her own little spot in her daughter’s bedroom! I highly recommend Lindsey and would gladly use her as my sitter again in the future!”
“Laura loves my Buddy. She treats him like her own. I feel very secure leaving my little guy with her. I highly recommend Laura for boarding your dog!!”
“Clarissa is amazing! Great communication and even sent pictures during our time away! My crazy pup came home exhausted! She even taught her how to sleep without being in a crate or in the bed with us and she is doing well not messing in the house when we are resting! I am so grateful! We booked again and will continue to book every trip we can with her and her amazing family!”
“We honestly don’t have enough words to express our gratitude for Joe and Reanaleena. Leaving our pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were in your care gave us complete peace of mind. From the very beginning, your warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals shone through. You took the time to understand our pets’ routines, personalities, and quirks—and it showed. Our old man Perseus, who’s typically low energy, came out of his shell annd had a blast (I’m sure the barkaritas help). And our high-energy husky Atlas was calm, happy, and clearly well-exercised when we got home! We loved receiving daily updates and photos; it was clear they were not only well cared for but truly loved. You treated them like your own, and for that, we are forever grateful. Thank you for going above and beyond. You’re more than a pet sitter—you’re family now.”
“I truly appreciate how well you treated Soul and how well informed you ensured I was. My mind was completely at peace while he was under your care. Also thank you for the bonus photoshoot of my sweet baby Soul. Soul will definitely be back ❤️”
“Just WOW!! Would leave my pups with them any day!. So kind and loving. Even took care of my 6 month old which I know can be a lot of work. Kept me updated while out of the country. Would highly recommend!!!!”
“My fur baby loves staying with Kaley. He always has a great time with her and her kids. She is great with sending lots of pictures. I highly recommend her. I've already booked his next stay.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chrissy is hands down the best dog sitter, period! No one else compares. I’m a total helicopter mom when it comes to my sweet baby Maple, but I trust Chrissy completely. She goes above and beyond, sending updates and adorable pictures, so I always know Maple is happy and well cared for. Chrissy treats her like family, making sure she gets plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. When I dropped Maple off for the first time, I was welcomed like family, and Maple was immediately comfortable with Chrissy and her sweet family. I work 12-hour shifts, so leaving my dog with someone is a very big deal—I trust her completely. Plus, they have a huge yard, which is an added bonus!”
“Terrific person loving & caring ..taking care of my baby as if it was here own”
“Kaitland did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog, Prim. She gave her a variety of daily meds and Prim came home happy and calm. Great experience!”
“Best sitter I’ve ever had on this app. Nice, great communication, clean house, and punctual. I’d definitely rebook! My Nala lived her best life. Her dog is also very sweet and well behaved.”

Jessica was great!! She sent lots of pictures and kept in touch to let me know how my dog was doing on a regular basis. My dog often can have anxiety, but she was very comfortable with Jessica and her pets. I would absolutely use her again in the future!
Ashley took loving care of Maddie as if she was her own dog. She kept in touch through text & photos. She expressed concern when Maddie was anxious over afternoon storms. We will definitely use Ashley in the future!
Brook kept my Lucy for 6 nights, I am very happy with her service. She sent multiple pictures of Lucy during her time there ensuring she was having a good time.This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service as I’ve always been skeptical of leaving her with strangers. I feel like Lucy fit right in with Brooks family and will definitely use her services again. Our vacation was so much more relaxed without the stress of traveling with a dog. Thanks Brook and family for taking such good care of Lucy
Abigail was amazing!! She was accommodating last minute and communicated with me about my dogs stay in a timely manner and sent lots of pics! My dog Rex had a great time playing with her dog, Maggie, and was happy and all tuckered out when he got home. 10/10 recommend!!
