“Great communication - relayed issues or questions as soon as they happened. Sent cute pics daily and sounds like my pup got along with hers really well. Would definitely have them sit for my pup again!”
2. Andrica S.
“Andrica was very friendly and accommodating. As a new fur-mom, it was reassuring to receive daily video and pictures of my pup. I knew Duke was in good hands based on Andrica's laughter alone. To me it meant that Duke was happy, healthy and up to his normal goofy antics. I highly recommend her and know that Duke made a new friend.”

11. Lana V.
“Thank you so much Alex and Lana for being wonderful looking after our boy while we were out of the country. We were really worried how he would do as he had never boarded before. But the updates you provided with the videos put our mind at ease. Finny seemed so happy and I think he was missing the other dogs the first day after we brought him home. I woukd not hesitate to use your services again! Thank you for being so easy to work with!”
12. Virginia "Ginger" H.
“Virginia was so sweet and took great care of Bogey! He can be nervous, and she went out of her way from the start to put him at ease. She took him for runs, played fetch in the backyard, and even let him sleep on the bed. I’m surprised he even wanted to come home after his stay. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
13. Noah W.
“Noah was fantastic looking after our dog, Bradley, while we were out of town for a few days. Bradley had a really great time staying with him and with his dog, Ginsy! We got lots of pictures and updates of Bradley looking right at home with Noah and Ginsy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a home away from home for their dog!”
14. Kiara B.
“Kiara was amazing! We got so many great pictures during our vacation and she clearly has taken care of so many different kinds of dogs with different needs.”
15. Christina W.
“Christina took wonderful care of Nelson! She was very attentive to how he was settling in and sent updates and cute pictures. When I picked him up, I could tell he really liked her and had felt very comfortable.”
16. John D.
“John is the absolute best. My dog Matilda has idiopathic epilepsy, which means she has seizures randomly and somewhat frequently, and needs medication at a specific time twice a day to manage her condition. As a result, I have always been terrified of leaving her with a dog sitter. She is not the kind of dog who is easy to watch and comes with her own first aid kit with several emergency medications. I have had bad experiences in the past with sitters who can't or won't meet her needs, and trying to find someone I can be sure won't slack off is a tough thing to do. From the moment I first spoke to John, he absolutely put my mind at ease. Not only did he listen to my instructions, he actively researched Matilda's condition so he could be ready if anything serious happened. Not only did he give her medication at exactly the right times, but he also made sure to send videos for each pill so I could confirm she got them. John was also excellent at providing regular updates with pictures, and Parker was a wonderful host for Matilda during her entire stay. I have never had a dog sitter who provided me more peace of mind than John. Usually leaving Matilda is an anxious experience for me, even for a few hours, but John helped me feel safe and secure for several days. I would absolutely have John watch Matilda again, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. It is so rare to find anyone who has the same passion and care, not just for animals, but the people who love them as well.”
17. Sarah & Derek C.
“Sarah was a life saver. I had a last minute trip for work and needed a dog sitter for my new 9 week old puppy. She immediately replied and was able to take him same day within a few hours. She sent me pictures the whole time and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely be booking with Sarah again. Thank you so much!”
18. Hanna K.
“Hanna was amazing! She was very prompt with communication, flexible with pick up and drop off times, sent me a ton of picks and videos and my pup had a blast. Will definitely use again the next time I’m out of town.”
19. Kathryn L.
“Kathryn took unbelievably good care of our senior dog and was able to provide our dog with her daily medication. This has been our best experience on Rover and we highly recommend Kathryn if you need a sitter.”
20. Sarah W.
“Sarah was amazing! Mister stayed with her for a week and we got lots of messages and pictures of him while we were away, which I appreciated so much. It isn’t easy finding a sitter because Mister tends to be leash reactive but Sarah had experience and knew exactly how to handle him which made us feel so confident. On our way back our flight was delayed but Sarah was very flexible and accommodating even though we were late to pick him up. I definitely will be rebooking with her when we need someone to watch him overnight again!”
