3. Zachary Z.

“Zach was amazing accommodating my dog Tokyo last minute. He made sure to keep her safe and comfortable even though she was anxious and unfortunately bite him on the hand. Zach was very communicative, assertive, experienced, and made sure Tokyo was fed and walked on her schedule. His dog Archie is cute, sweet, calm and playful. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and worry-less sitter. Thank you again Zach!”


4. Wei C.

6. Cristina B.

14. Jeff F.

“Jeff took care of my dog Wylie over a weekend and Jeff was amazing with Wylie. He was happy and willing to learn everything about Wylie before hand. Jeff’s knowledge, experience and love for dogs made the entire experience stress and worry free for both me and Wylie. He took spectacular care of Wylie with daily walks/runs and lots of attention and sent many photos and videos everyday. Highly recommend!”


15. Kimberly C.

“This was my first time using Rover for boarding so I was a bit anxious. I'm so grateful we found Kimberly! She took great care of China and Rupert. I appreciated the constant communication from beginning to end. She asked lots of questions during our Meet & Greet that helped me know that she is a very experienced and conscientious sitter. I selected the pick-up/drop-off add-on which was a huge help in terms of one less thing to think about with my trip. Kimberly was very punctual even with the early and late times. She sent continual updates and photos during the stay, which helped me be at ease while I was traveling and it was great to not have to constantly be asking how the dogs are doing. There were a couple of items left at Kimberly's house afterwards and she was really great about following up and getting them back to us. My pups returned happy and tired, which I consider an all-around excellent review!”


16. Michelle D.

“Michelle did an awesome job! Paid close attention to his needs and special care instructions. Gave regular updates and photos. Would definitely recommend and use Michelle in the future. Thanks Michelle!”

18. Alexandra H.

“This was my first time leaving Sunny with a sitter, and Alex made me feel so comfortable from the start! She provided daily updates with pictures of him playing with her kids, and it was clear he was having the best time - I don’t think he wanted to leave! I could tell he was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of love. Knowing he was in such great hands gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter - Sunny will definitely be back!”




19. LeeAnn B.

“Second time booking with LeeAnn! I was able to enjoy my vacation without worrying about my Zoey- she always takes such great care of her! Loved all the picture and video updates. Will book again for sure!”
