5. Susan C.
“Susan and her husband were absolutely wonderful people! I found out super last minute that I had to go out of town. When I say last minute....I’m talking....FRIDAY EVENING AT 6pm. Lol needing sitter until Sunday. I messaged a few other sitters prior to finding Susan’s ad. Within just a couple of minutes she responded. We screened one another to be sure it was a good match. And by 8pm I was dropping off my pup. She sent a ton of pics over his stay there. He received a bunch of snuggles and cuddles mixed with play time and Exercise. He got to go to the dog park and had an amazing stay. I would recommend Susan to every fur baby parent I meet.”

16. Quinlin C.
About: Hi, my name is Quin. I was recently laid off from my job and wanted to do something enjoyable while on the job hunt. My girlfriend and I have rovered in the past and fell in love with it. We have two sweet cats. We had to put down our blue heeler about two years ago due to age. Looking forward to spending some time with dogs again! While I'm on the job hunt, I am at home most of the time. Even when employed, I work IT fully remote from home. My schedule is very flexible right now! I live in an apartment building in the river market so unfortunately no back yard. But I do live very close to the dog park if pet parents are okay with that of course.
17. Jacob H.
“Jacob is an excellent pet-sitter who I highly recommend. My dog is a little timid and she needed exclusive care in a 1-dog setting over a long weekend. Some of the pet sitters I interviewed wanted to care for multiple pets in addition to having one or several of their own. But Jacob made sure to provide a 1-dog environment for us. My dog's time with Jacob was very stress-free, and she was completely welcome on the back of his couch where she could perch near the window and watch the world go by. Jacob even sent me photos of my dog relaxing at his home while I was on vacation. Can't say enough good things about him!”
18. Audra H.
“My dog seemed to love her stay with Audra and Jelly! She took care of my dog as if she was her own and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her for the week. My dog can’t wait to come back and play!”
19. Carmen & Katie C.
“First time using this app and I can’t wait to use Carmen and Katie again!!! My pup had a blast and I could tell because they kept me updated with cute pics and videos over the course of my pup’s stay! They definitely love animals and treated mine like their own. Wont ever use kennel boarding again, my pup got so much love!!”
20. Morgan B.
“So glad I found Morgan! Like a previous reviewer said, she's very responsive and accommodating and sent me plenty of updates without me needing to ask. We were on a trip for about two weeks and I felt relieved to know that my dog was in a safe, clean place where he was getting attention and able to play with other dogs. I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
