Kana and her husband are WONDERFUL people! They took great care of Piper and he appeared to have loved his time there. We live out of state and I was worried about who I got and how Piper would like them, I was so happy I chose them! They have a great yard to let the dogs run and all is very well kept and clean. I would not hesitate to use Kana again if we are ever in the area! Thanks for taking such good care of my baby!

Met Amanda, Jeff, and Yoda.. All 3 were super friendly, and took excellent care of my 1.5yo Catahoula (Zara) while I was out of town for 2 days. My pup may have even had too much fun.. She was moping around the rest of the night after I picked her up.. I think she was missing all of them ! If the need ever arose again, I would not hesitate to contact Amanda and Jeff. TYVM !

The most important thing for us is to know our elderly dog is safe, with people who understand an older dog and her needs. Mariko is that person! Millie is content, and well taken care of which gives us peace of mind when we are away. Much better than leaving her in a kennel.

Rebecca was the greatest sitter ever! We felt awful to leave our pup with a sitter over the holidays, but she made sure he was well taken care of! Easy to communicate with. She was even able to keep him for an extra day when we experienced a travel hiccup. Chauncey was so happy being surrounded by her loving family and other friendly dogs. We will use you again! Thanks for making our stay stress-free!

Dana was great with the girls; from the first time we did the "get to know you" visit, as well as throughout the sleep over. She sent pics and kept me informed on how they were doing throughout their visit. When the girls were giving her a challenge taking their vitamins, she did hesitate to ask for any tips that might get them more interested. I was very happy with the condition and demeanor of the girls when we picked them up. They were of course ecstatic to see us but had clearly been treated well and were in great spirits. I will definitely call on Dana for our next trip!

Van took great care of Mav during his stay. Response time was very quick and communication was clear. I received updates throughout his visit with plenty of pictures and videos. Mr. Mav got a nice long walk, playtime in a secure yard, grooming, and plenty of supervision and attention. They paid attention to his behavior and needs, including managing minor reactivity appropriately on walks. Mav came home happy, well cared for, and settled, and I would feel comfortable booking with Van again.

Everyone wants someone that will treat their dog like we do. I am a traveling nurse and sometimes Sam The Dog, my traveling companion, gets anxious during our next move and assignment schedule. Peggy is the one Sam and I look for but rarely find! She will treat your fur baby like her own! She sends me pictures of Sam hanging out with Grace, her fur baby, as well as Sam making his way up to her room to nap in her own bed! When I drop him off at her home for daycare, he doesn’t even turn around to say “good-bye”. Perfect! He is loved and happy there. I recently got called into work for a night shift. Peggy came and picked him up for me so he wouldn’t be alone! Peggy is “PAWSITIVELY” awesome!

I have all great things to say about Priscilla! We booked her for the first time last minute. She was able to find time during the week for our dogs to meet her pup and her. She has a fantastic back yard for lots of play. She was super communicative and best of all the boys loved her! We have 2 cattle dog mix puppies that can be a bit of a handful at times and she managed them like a dream. We will be booking with her again in the future!

Dina took care of my beloved dog Tikky from June 7/2026 to June 16/ 2026. She provided daily pictures and videos. Tikky got injured while playing in her back yard and she took her to the vet. This was the first time I hired a sitter on this website. I will use her to take care of Tikky again in the future. The fact that she and Irma have four dogs of their own tells me that they love dogs. Glad I found them!

Oly-dog had a great time during his week-long stay. Xavier helped put me at ease through clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through with Oly's care plan. I'm myself a sitter with about 1,000 bookings through Rover, so I know a good-one from a lackluster-one; Xavier makes the cut. Oly would stay again.

This was our first time using Rover and Aliesha and we’re really glad we did. She took great care of our two boys. We knew after our meet and greet that her and her sweet dog Otto would be perfect for our pups. They seemed to fit right in and got along perfectly. Our boys came home happy healthy and exhausted from all the play time! Will definitely use again!!

The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆

Dee Anne took fabulous care of our big boy, Cowboy (110-pound German Shepherd)! She took him on walks to the park, played ball with him in her wonderful fenced yard, and just gave him lots of love and attention. And she kept us posted with photos and updates so we never had to worry or wonder how he was doing. When we went to pick him up, it was obvious that he had had a wonderful time. He was happy as a lark playing fetch with her outside. We will definitely trust her with Cowboy again!

Trina is awesome! She takes such great care of Max, helps him have lots of play time with her pups who he loves, and is very communicative with me on what he's up to which I really appreciate. She has helped when Max needs daily eye drops and gives him his daily dental treat which is so helpful so he can have consistency. Max has an amazing time and is always so excited to have sleepovers with Trina, Bruiser, and Peaches.
