“As a first-time Rover user, I was nervous about leaving our rescue dog with someone new. She's very shy and easily scared around people outside our immediate family, so I wasn’t sure how she would adjust to a sitter’s home—especially with kids. We tried a few short drop-in visits at other homes, but she just wasn’t comfortable. With an international trip coming up, we had to keep trying—and that’s when we met Stephanie and her wonderful family. Right away, my dog warmed up to Stephanie and her two kids. I could tell she felt safe and more at ease than she ever had with others. It was a huge relief, and we decided to move forward. Stephanie updated us every day with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind. After just two days, our dog was sleeping on the nanny's bed! By the end of the 7-day stay, she looked so happy and relaxed. When we came to pick her up, she actually barked at us at first—she didn’t recognize us right away! That’s how well cared for and loved she felt during her time with Stephanie. I can't recommend Stephanie enough. She treated our dog like family and helped turn a stressful situation into a beautiful one. We’ll absolutely be back!”
“Rachel, Brian and family were outstanding! What a wonderful loving family that took great care of my fur baby. Thank you so much for the peace of mind as we traveled.”
“Tabitha was great! So accommodating and flexible. I boarded my pup with her, & when my flight got canceled on my home she happily held onto her for an extra day. Received multiple pics and updates while I was away¨̮”
“Lucky and I couldn’t have been happier with the loving care he received! The daily updates and pictures were so reassuring! Samantha was good having a Bichon shadow and bedmate! Her family welcomed him with open arms!”
“Amazing, amazing, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Toni is THE best dog sitter we have ever booked! My little pup had so much fun! Toni sent us pictures of our pup being spoiled with love during the stay making us even more comfortable leaving our pup with her. We are definitely using her services again! Please book her! Highly recommend! Killua was definitely well taken care of!”

Everything was perfect, Julie is very nice and Cooper was so loved all weekend. I appreciated the updates and pictures she sent me!”
“I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone that doesn't know my dog for the first time. He's a rescue and a bit of an escape artist which is why I didn't bring him on vacation with me. Michael took great care of my little baby. Sent me constant updates so I didn't have to worry. He was also very accomodating with my schedule. I would definitely recommend Michael and use him again. Falcor had a great time!”
“I have review Rachel a few times now and every time, she is amazing. She watched our almost 1 year old golden doodle for 6 days and nights. Babka is so happy when she is there. And so happy when she comes home. No issues whatsoever and Rachel sent pictures and videos too. Also her dog loves Babka and that makes us so happy for them both to have a friend to play with for the week. We will continue to use Rachel whenever we can.”
