“Annie and the family were warm and inviting to Ellington and I. I didn’t get a chance to meet them before sitting for Ellington, but I felt comfortable leaving Ellington. They got us acclimated with no rush.”
7. Gil O.
“From the beginning, Gil demonstrated an impressive level of attentiveness, taking the time to understand Olive's needs and preferences. Regular updates, complete with photos, reassured me that Olive was not only looked after but genuinely loved. Gil treated Olive as if she were his own, and this personalized approach made all the difference. Throughout the stay, Gil's dedication and responsibility in ensuring Olive's well-being exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Gil to anyone seeking top-notch care for their furry companions—Olive came back happy, healthy, and clearly spoiled with the extra love she received. A big thank you to Gil for providing such a wonderful experience—I will undoubtedly be reaching out again for future pet-sitting needs!”

“Nalix was great with my boy Bentley, very understanding and a true dog person. I was provided pics, which I always appreciate and was glad to see my boy looked happy. My dog is a senior and Nalix was very patient and kind with him, I felt very assured while I was away for a couple of days.”
9. Alyson B.
“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
10. Tyler S.
“Tyler was awesome! My dog Ozzy stayed with him for the weekend and was so well cared for. He also sent daily updates which I loved getting. I will certainly have Tyler watch Oz again!”

“Maryanne was wonderful with our dog - very attentive to her needs, regular walks and grooming, and lots of attention. I really appreciated how she sent daily photos so we could keep in touch.

13. Hayden R.
“Hayden was great to our boy. We got so many good pictures and updates.”
14. Eddy J.
“Eddy was absolutely amazing with our dog Uri. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be more pleased. Eddy was so thorough with his preparations and updated us with lovely pictures and videos. I really appreciated him promptly reaching out if he had any questions and being so willing and accommodating with my dog. Thank you Eddy!!”

“We always feel comfortable leaving our pup with Michaela, as she takes great care of him. She gives him plenty of walks and keeps us updated on how he is doing. We highly recommend Michaela!”
16. Patrick M.
“Patrick was amazing with Marley. Extremely communicative, sent photos and videos and updates or questions when necessary. We would love to use him again.”
17. Winn C.
“When our normal boarding spot filled up for the holidays, we were rushing to figure out a sitting situation for Bella. Bella can be aggressive towards other dogs, so we were hesitant to leave her with someone new, however Winn seemed like the best sitter we could have asked for. Winn responded promptly, and we set up a time to meet beforehand; the whole thing effortless. Within seconds, Bella found a tennis ball and was sitting by Winn's side for pets. Winn sent us several photos during his time watching Bella, and it was clear that she was having a great doggie vacation! We'll be sure to reach out if we ever need a sitter again!”
18. Kathryn H.
“Kat took great care of Goose! Easy to communicate with, perfect coordination on the pickup / dropoff. Plenty of time outside having fun, her own dog seemed like a great companion for our pup. Pictures and videos of them playing morning / midday / evening. She clearly loves dogs. Goose doubled back to say bye to her when we picked him up!”
19. Sunisa T.
“Sunisa did a great job on boarding Caramelo for two nights. She followed his routine for bathroom breaks. She stimulated him to eat, even giving me a great idea on what to do with his food, as he can be a little picky sometimes. She brushed and combed his hair as I requested, going above and beyond on his care. Her husband and her are always very kind. She is always very responsive, attentive and send the most beautiful pictures, that I immediately saved in my phone. I feel I found someone who I truly can say cares and loves Caramelo as much as I do. Thank you again Sunisa.”
20. Louisa R.
“Louisa is amazing! She made herself available for the last-minute reservation and the same-day dropoff. She was sending photos of Bruno, and I could tell she took great care of him, and he had fun, too. I highly recommend her!!!”
