“Andrew and Ellen were great. Excellent communication and updates with pictures and videos. Their dog was a great companion to ours. They were kind enough to work with our busy schedule and even met us in the park for a meet up beforehand to make sure all would go well. Will use them again :)”



“John is a great Rover while he watched Pisco for a couple of days. He responds quickly, and we enjoyed his daily pics on how Pisco is doing. Thank you!”


“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.”


“Matthew and Macon communicated well and sent lots of pictures. I was a little nervous since we weren’t able to have a meet and greet, but Tobey did well. I will definitely book with them again.”


“Bean had another amazing stay with Danielle and Andres! Bean was extremely excited to see them upon drop off - normally he can be apprehensive but he confidently entered the building with them! They sent tons of awesome updates and it was evident bean was well taken care of and having a great time. Will absolutely use them again and highly recommend Danielle and Andres!”

“Eva & Tyler were excellent! They made sure our girls were well cared for and loved on while we were away in another state. They gave us a good amount of updates and pictures as well! They followed instructions and also were very caring about all of our requests. They were so wonderful with our girls - we would definitely love to have them take care of our girls again! Thank you kindly for everything!”


“So great! Freya is a nervous girl and they helped her feel comfortable in their space. I also forgot some of her things on the subway?♀️ and they were well stocked with dog supplies and more than happy to help out! Would book again.”


“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”


“Angie was amazing. Asked really good questions beforehand and provided such a warm and welcoming stay for willow. She took her on long walks and sent me cute pictures. I’ve already rebooked!”


“Summer was amazing! Very tentative, detail oriented dog sitter, and Kylo already misses her. She was great at providing updates and taking good care over an extended stay!! Summer will be a go-to dogsitter and adopted aunt of Kylo’s!”


“Ellana was fantastic in taking care of our 14 year old beagle, Dexter. We'll definitely be entrusting her with the care of Dexy again in the future.”


“Anne and Nora were fantastic! They took such great care of my dog Crash while I was away. I loved getting all the pics and videos they sent. It was clear Crash felt right at home with them 🥰 They were super attentive and gave him lots of love and couch cuddles. Would definitely book with them again!”


“I’m scared to give Miruna 5 stars because I feel like she’s rover’s best kept secret and now everyone’s gonna know! She was AMAZING. My pup had a blast with her, she was incredibly communicative and treated my dog as if she was her own. Couldn’t ask for a better rover experience”


“Our dog Blitzen had a great stay with Tiffany! She sent consistent text/photo updates and made sure he got plenty of park and walking time in. Tiffany was very communicative and professional too. We will be booking again soon!”


“Jerry sat our dog Meeka for 4 days and did a fantastic job updating us, sending pictures, responding quickly. We will rebook with him next time! Thanks!”


“Jessica took exceptional care of my dog Penny over 5 days while I was traveling for work. She was communicative and very thoughtful when it came to Penny’s picky eating habits. I couldn’t have asked for better care and I know Penny had an incredible time in her home. I will definitely book with Jessica again!”


“Our two pups stayed with Stephanie during the holidays and we’re so so happy with the way she cares for them and communicates with us! We feel so happy to have found her and can leave our pups for holidays without a worry!”


“Jessica is our go to dog-sitter! She always takes such good care of our pup, is kind, communicative, and treats him like her own. Our dog loves his home away from home with Jessica and her family”
