“Excellent experience! Diane and Chris took good care of our dog Mei Mei. They sent us update everyday. Mei Mei had a lot of fun staying with them and their dog. She can’t wait to go back again!”


2. Srividhya & Matthew S.

“Srividhya and Matthew were amazing sitters for my dog Winnie! They were so responsive and sent me multiple updates a day on how Winnie was doing which I really appreciated. They were very active with her taking her to parks and on long walks which Winnie loves. I knew she was taken very well care of all weekend and I will definitely ask them to watch Winnie again when I go out of town. I highly recommend booking your pup with Srividhya and Matthew!”

10. Kelli & Larkin W.


“I’m so grateful to have found Kelli and Larkin on Rover! As my first time using the service, I was extremely anxious and nervous leaving my pup, especially at someone else’s home. They welcomed her with open arms, allowing her on the furniture and their bed for ultimate snuggles! They stayed in contact throughout the week and shared lots of photos and videos. I could tell my pup was so happy in their care! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I look forward to booking with them again in the future!”

“We cannot recommend Victoria and her family enough! They took such wonderful care of Goose on short notice over the Christmas holiday. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such kind and capable hands. Victoria is incredibly thoughtful and communicative, sending us regular updates and the most adorable pictures that made our holiday even more enjoyable. It’s clear that she and her family genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to ensure they feel safe and loved. Goose had an amazing time with them, and we’re so grateful for the peace of mind they provided. If you’re looking for a loving, reliable dog sitter, look no further!”
