“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“We appreciated the updates letting us know our dog was having a fun time during his stay! Great communication. It always means a lot to know our dog is being well cared for. Already booked a second stay!”
“Jennifer was AMAZING with our pup Junie! This was the first time we have utilized Rover.com and we were anxious about leaving Junie with someone we didn't know. Jennifer communicated with me weeks in advance and answered all of my questions. Junie immediately felt comfortable and Jennifer texted me pictures and updates throughout the day, which I LOVED. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs a super responsible and sweet dog-sitter!!”
“Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!”
“Nicole was incredible with our border collie! She made sure we got daily updates, ensured our baby had the best time and made him feel as safe and comfortable as possible. We look forward to using her in the future!”
“Jacob made this whole experience so easy, made us feel safe leaving our pet behind while on vacation, and we are confident that our Odie had such a good time! He is passionate about his clients and communicated with us the entire time. I would highly recommend leaving your precious pooch with him and feel great that they are being cared for and kept safe. Thank you Jacob for everything!”
“Having left my 2 dogs with Missey on several occasions, her house is like my dogs second home. They absolutely love it and I feel 100% secure in leaving them with her. She is truly the best and spoils her doggie guests with lots of TLC! Thanks Missey! Jill H.”
“Dee is incredibly responsive and reliable. She was warm and welcoming at the meet and greet and again when we dropped off Stella at Dee's home. It was nice to get consistent communication and photos while were away, and we appreciate that Dee gave Stella so much attention.”
“Mary and Norman watched our fur baby while on a week’s vacation and they exceeded our expectations! Not only were they very accommodating with our schedule, they also sent daily updates and made our dog feel right at home - they treated her like their own! Mary and Norman will be the first we call whenever we need a pet sitter.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care Deidre gave our two dogs while we were away for the week. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear she genuinely cared about their comfort and well-being. She treated them like her own, making sure they felt completely at home in her space. Throughout the week, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped us relax and enjoy our time away knowing they were in such good hands. The dogs looked so happy and relaxed in every picture—it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. We highly recommend Deidre to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Julie was available last minute, and even with the limited time she was swift to respond and easy to communicate with. We dropped Brutus off and met her two dogs and son who would all be hanging out - I could instantly tell this was going to be great for our Maltese. After receiving a few fun photos throughout the stay, Brutus was happy and totally exhausted when we picked him up. Thanks for a great stay and highly recommended!”
“Jayne took care of our dog Biubiu for a whole month and did a fantastic job! We could tell Jayne really bonded with Biubiu and treated him as if he were her own dog. A few weeks into the stay Biubiu had some soft/liquid stool issues, and Jayne did a great job communicating with us so we could determine the best course of action for Biubiu. She also took the most amazing daily photos of Biubiu, way better than the pictures we ourselves have taken of him.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Chisato gave me the confidence I needed. She was amazing with King. He also enjoyed his time playing with toys and being a good boy on walks. I also really enjoyed receiving tons of videos and pictures of King while I was away. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future. ☺️”
“Jean was amazing with my golden. I loved getting pictures and videos daily and knowing that he was having a great time. My big guy has terrible anxiety during storms and is on a high dose of anxiety medication that sometimes works. When a bad storm rolled in Jean was compassionate and loving and notified me about his condition. As a very overprotective dog mom I trust Jean and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Denis and Nikki took wonderful care of Maggie! they adopted her as if she was part of their family. the daily updates and pictures were a nice touch to know things were going well. if you are looking to leave your pup with a family that knows and truly cares about dogs, then i would highly recommend Denis and Nikki!”
“I couldn’t be happier, Veronique was a great sitter. My dogs seems very happy and she took very good care of them. She gave them complementally bath before I picked them up. She sent me photos and videos every day to let me know how they were doing and how they interacted with her dogs and cat. Her house, back porch and backyard are really clean, well taken care of and super nice environment for dogs to run free.”

We had a great experience with Matthew! He was very flexible and accommodating when we needed to drop our dogs off earlier than originally scheduled. He kept us updated with pictures, and it was clear our dogs were having so much fun and were well cared for. We felt completely comfortable leaving them with him and would definitely book again. Highly recommend!!
