Our Clover always gets the best care with Anar. It’s obvious that she enjoys being there when we’re away. She was wiped out after her last stay and passed out snoring when we got her home. Happy dog!

Alex took amazing care of my beagle, Rusty, on super short notice—and I couldn’t be more grateful. He was incredibly kind, communicative, and sent multiple photos of Rusty enjoying his walks, which totally put my mind at ease. Rusty told me he had a blast and felt totally safe and loved 🐾😊. I’d absolutely trust Alex again in a heartbeat!

It is obvious how much Marwa loves cats and takes great care of them. She was a lifesaver for my Felix as he is newly rescued, was sick and not neutered so I had very limited options on where to board him, but she was happy to have him as her only cat for the week I was gone. He loved her and came back a happy cat.

Ana is my go-to sitter in San Diego! My dog gets anxious away from home and Ana created a calm and welcoming environment. He’s also a picky eater but takes oral medication everyday. Ana was able to ensure he was taking his meds. It was such a relief having someone so wonderful and attentive watching him while I was away. I also appreciated all the communication—lots of photos and texts describing daily walks and activities and anything that was out of the normal. Can’t recommend Ana enough!

Shelby and her family were kind enough to allow my pup to spend the holidays with them. She is an energetic dog, so knowing she was being taken on walks, runs, to the dog park, etc. meant so much! If you’re looking for your pup to get lots of love and playtime, highly recommend Shelby!

Lucy and Norah went above and beyond to take care of my greyhounds and make sure they had fun at their place. Greyhounds are a sensitive/needy bunch, so that says a lot about the care they received. I’m so grateful. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to them again the next time I need a dog sitter. Thank you both!!

I cannot put into words or say enough positive things about Zaira. I was previously using cage free boarding facilities to board my dog and would constantly worry whenever I was out of town. Wanting less stress for my dog, I opted to try a personal boarding experience through Rover. Zaira was amazing and so patient with my dog being nervous and shy around new people. By the end of the few days, they were best friends and I know my pup is always missing Zaira. If you’re looking for an attentive, sweet and stress free experience for daycare or boarding I highly recommend Zaira. Thank you!!!!

Shakyra did a fantastic job, she took great care of our family member, our dog Riley. It was her first time away from home over night. We got a good update and when I went to pick her up the next morning she was calm and relaxed. Shakyra is very pleasant and communicative that alone put us at ease. She get 5 stars from us. Definitely use her again.

Genevieve was, as always, a fantastic sitter. We had an emergency and having such a trusted sitter for our dog took such a stress off our shoulders. She sent great pictures and updates, and Charlie had an amazing time playing with Willow and snuggling Genevieve and her husband. Thank you so much and we’ll 1000% book again!

I can not begin to recommend Sam enough. He was very quick to respond on initial meet and greet. Then continued with outstanding communication throughout the rest of our girls visit, keeping us at ease. Updating us everyday on how they were getting along and sending pictures of them enjoying their pup vacation at Sam’s awesome home perfectly suited for dog sitting. Over a wonderful experience, would definitely rebook.
