“Had such a wonderful experience with Wendy this past weekend, she and her family took great care of Layla and were very accommodating to our trip schedule. With a large backyard and other dogs to socialize with, I was glad to know Layla wouldn't ever feel alone while we were gone. 100% recommend Wendy's services.”

“Wonderful couple! They give your pet lots of love and ensure that your pet is happy and well taken care of. They send photos and updates on a regular basis. I would recommend highly to use this couple for dogsitting your loving pet! Amazing! I am definitely having them again!”

“We’ve used a handful of sitters on rover and Angela and Tommy are the best. They have an awesome big yard, playful friendly pups, and give lots of love to our fur baby. Thankful to have a go to home for when we have to travel.”


8. Tiffani S.

“Tiffani was an amazing host for my puppy who is full of energy. She sent photos and I had great peace of mind while I had to be away. We will definitely be using her services again!”


9. Anita A.

“Anita and her family cared for my super timid dog Poncho for a week while we were out of town. Poncho had never been left anywhere before. He decided to go on a hunger strike and not eat/drink much. I had provided dry food and to try and get him to eat Anita went out and got wet food for him as well as gave him water with a syringe to make sure he was not dehydrated. I’m confident boarding him in a facility with a ton of dogs would have stressed him out more. Anita did a great job trying to make my nervous, quirky dog as comfortable as possible. Thankful that she and her family provided such good care to Poncho!”


10. Jamelie G.

“I recently left my cat Kimo, in the care of Jamelie while I was overseas, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Jamelie was professional, responsive, and attentive to my cat’s needs. She went above and beyond to ensure Kimo felt comfortable and loved while I was away. I received regular updates, including photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pet was in great hands. It was clear that she genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own. When I returned, Kimo was happy, healthy, and relaxed, which is a testament to the excellent care they received. The litter box was clean, the food schedule was followed perfectly, and I noticed my cat was more social and content than usual. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. She truly exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be reaching out to them again for future trips.”


11. Katie L.

“Katie took excellent care of Sadie while we were away on vacation - after meeting her during the meet and greet I felt super comfortable leaving Sadie at her house. Will absolutely use her again for any future vacations, she is quick to respond and very accommodating!”


12. Ruth J.

“Ruth was wonderful, this was my first time using rover and having someone other than family watch Bentley. She sent updates which included pictures, leaving me feeling at ease. Bentley had a blast with all his new friends. Thank you Ruth!”


13. Dyan C.

“Dyan did a great job caring for my dog, Pippin. I could tell he was very comfortable at her house with her and Aiko. Communication was great, she was flexible and I wouldn’t hesitate to book again with her in the future!”


14. Anjali V.
“Anjali is a superb care-giver with exceptional attention to detail. Her love of animals is both personal and professional, which she uses to look after the animals in her care. The environment will be safe, and especially tailored to your pet. I can think of no one else I would trust more with a loved one -- whether animal or human.”




15. Shannon R.

“Constant updates with pics! Took great care of our 60lb puppy! He also had so much fun with doggie friends in a safe fenced in yard and dog friendly home! Thank you so much for taking such great care of our pup so we never had to worry! :)”
