“Excellent overnight stay! Our dog Tiki was well cared for, happy, and comfortable. Great communication and a very positive experience overall. Would definitely use again. Highly recommend Patricia and Tyler!”
“Moose 2nd time here and he loves it. Ximena and her whole family is very passionate with Moose. He loves staying at their home. For Moose, it's like home.away from home ❤️❤️❤️. Definitely will rebook again.”
“Moose (4yr old male goldendoodle) always has a great time under the care of Maritza. Martitza is gentle with Moose and provides me with updates and pictures/videos throughout the day. Moose gets to relax and play with other pups and is always meeting new friends. Moose and I are truly grateful!”
“Lindsay was a great dog sitter for my dog foxy. Foxy had an overnight stay at her home with her two dogs and it was wonderful. Lindsey was very flexible with my schedule and would keep me updated on the dogs daily activities. She is very attentive. I will use her services again.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover to find a pet sitter and we think we found the pit of gold at the end of the rainbow. Angela was absolutely amazing! My son was extremely worried about leaving his dog with anyone but family for the very first time. But the updates and photos we received put his mind at ease that Pluto was having a great time on his own mini vacation. Thanks to this, we were able to better enjoy our own vacation. I cannot say enough positive things about our first time with Angela and Rover.”
“Lianna is great! I don’t ever have to worry about my dog when he stays. I appreciate the consistent videos/pictures throughout his stay. I will definitely be bringing my boy back!”
“If we could rate more than 5 stars we would!! Corinne and Louis took such great care of our Barry boy! They were super great at communicating and keeping us updated with pictures of Barry throughout his stay. They kept Barry active with playing fetch and going on plenty of walks! We definitely will be booking again in the future! Thank you so much Corinne and Louis!”
“Brittany was an amazing host! She took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily check-ins and pictures. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable in her home.”
“Ted had the best time!! Took very good care of him and even helped him get over his separation anxiety by hand feeding him food. Great house and a very nice yard too. I highly recommend and will definitely be back soon..”
“We recently used Soonok as a dog sitter for the first time to care for our senior terrier, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Naturally, we were a bit anxious leaving our older dog in someone else’s care, but Soonok immediately put us at ease. Soonok was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive, taking extra care to accommodate our dog’s needs and pace. What really stood out was the consistent communication—we received daily updates and videos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was in great hands and being treated with genuine care and affection. We’re so grateful for the experience and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Soonok to others. We will very likely be using her services again in the future.”
“Bethany and her family were complete angels for my two pups who have trauma from being attacked by two large dogs. I worry about my dogs a lot, so Bethany provided updates, photos and was quick to respond when I reached out. Best of all: my pups weren't sure that they wanted to come home when I picked them up! They were so happy and well-cared for! I couldn't have asked for more. Bethany and her family are gems and I will be coming back to them.”
“Great sitter!! She sent me pictures of my puppy to make sure I was okay with the toys she was playing with and kept me updated with her behavior. Will be booking again for future services.”
“This is overdue from our last trip. Angie is wonderful with our big boys and my mom’s medium sized high energy girl. They cleary like it there as they pull to see her at dropoff haha. We feel lucky to have been able to utilize her services and would recommend to anyone!”
“This was Ness’s second time watching our pup Pretzel, and she was just as amazing as the first! Pretzel absolutely adores her, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. Ness is warm, communicative, and genuinely cares; can’t recommend her enough. We’ll definitely keep coming back!”
“From the moment I reached out to Mariah inquiring about sitting services for our dog - Mariah was quick to respond, kind, open, welcoming and accommodating. Mariah provided boarding for our dog for 5 days and she provided daily updates and photos which made us feel at ease. We opted for the pick up and drop off service and she was punctual on pickup. Our flight was delayed by 3 hours and Mariah was understanding and dropped our dog off at midnight! I will definitely be using her again in the future. She was a pleasure to work with. THANK YOU!”
“Fantastic. Marilyn watched our pup throughout the Christmas holiday while we vacationed. He had a better time with her than he would’ve with us! Will absolutely call again.”
“Mac had an amazing time with a lot of playtime and new Friends ! We received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day, I will definitely rebook and would totally recommend!”
“This was our first time leaving our BoBo. Amie has made his stay very comfortable and such a loving environment. Will definitely rebook in the future. She provided daily pictures and kept us updated regularly.”
“Jeimy was amazing with our two dogs. She treated them with lots of love and care, as if they were her own. Even with our dog with special needs and hyper fur baby, she was patient and knew exactly how to handle their needs. Communication was great, she provided daily updates with photos while we were on vacation in a different time zone. She was so accommodating and made sure the dogs had everything. I would highly recommend her and book her again!”

Trisha and Tyler were very accommodating and provided updates and photos throughout our baby’s stay. We were nervous since this was the first time we’ve had a sitter for her and they have made this an amazing experience. You can tell they loved and cared for our girl, Dizzie, and she was very comfortable with them. We would highly recommend and will continue to come back 1000% Thank you guys!
Yasmin (and Olivia) were excellent pet sitters. My 105 lb labrador retriever was looked after well. He was their priority during his stay. Yasmin kept him busy with walks and runs. He was so exhausted that he slept as soon as we got back home. Was the calmest I had ever seen him. I would definitely return as a customer. I highly recommend Yasmin for boarding needs.
My dog Crimson has been watched by Brittanie twice now! She is so kind, communicative, and always keeps me updated with pictures. I can tell my dog absolutely loves her and feels comfortable and happy staying with her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s well cared for and excited to go back!
We always board our 15lb Pomeranian with Lorraine whenever we go on extended vacations. She is always happy to stay there, which gives us complete peace of mind while we are away. They consistently send daily picture updates so we know how she's doing, and they are always flexible and accommodating with pickup and drop-off times. If you're looking for a dependable and caring sitter, we highly recommend them.
Micah and Jess deserve 10 stars for the wonderful "vacation" they gave our anxious little Beau. He was so calm and felt right at home at their house. We enjoyed all the great photos you sent during the 3 weeks he was with you. See you soon at the next booking. You guys are the best!!
Lindsay was great with our 8-month-old puppy, Odie. She kept in touch throughout the day and sent photos, which we really appreciated. This was our first time using Rover, and we felt very comfortable with her experience and background. She also has two friendly dogs who welcomed Odie for the day, which made it even better. We will definitely book with her again in the future!
Maritza is the best! Our Bear remembers Maritza and was sooo excited to be here! He didn’t bother looking at us when we dropped him off. We haven’t gone to her in awhile and Bear certainly remembers where to go! He had such a great time. We love all the pictures! Thank you for taking Bear last minute! He has always been in good hands with you!!!

Huge thank you to Jeannie and Marvin for taking care of my pup for a week. They take wonderful care, and provided regular updates on how my boy Rigby was doing. You can tell how well they understand animal behavior, and can adapt to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. 1000% would book with them again.
