1. Karen & Hisako N.

“Karen was absolutely amazing with our dog Bennett! We’ve never had such a kind and caring pet sitter that we trusted so easily! We received frequent updates and never had any doubt about the level of care our dog was receiving! I 100% recommend Karen and will definitely book again whenever we need a reliable sitter!”


2. Karen M.


“Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!”


3. Jennifer L.

“They were so sweet to our fur babies including a brand new stray rescue we weren’t super sure how she’d behave, but she did great! Extra plus their place is a cat haven 😻”


4. Lee J.

“Lee took such great care of our dog over the holidays. We were so at ease even as first time boarders. She sent frequent updates which we really appreciated. We will be using her services again and highly recommend for other dog parents”


5. Mary C.


“Mary is wonderful! We recently adopted our dog from a shelter and he has some separation anxiety, so we weren't sure how his first overnight stay would go, but Mary's patient and thoughtful approach helped him feel comfortable quickly. We appreciated that she set up a meet & greet with her dog in advance, and then was in touch throughout his stay. We'll be sure to book Mary in the future.”




6. Jeff & Beth K.

“Our Frenchie couldn’t have been happier with them. They periodically texted with updates and sent lots of photos through the day. We profoundly appreciate their flexibility with our last minute and weird schedule. We look forward to using them in the future.”


7. Sara B.


“The hype about Sara is 10000% true!!! I left my baby boy with her for 2 weeks after only having him for 2 months, and though I missed him, I never had a moment of worry because I knew he was in the very best of hands (and paws) with her and Soba!! Sara kept me updated very regularly and sent me such wonderful photos. She's a super transparent and effective communicator, and obviously has a special touch with dogs. My pup had so much fun playing, adventuring, cuddling and relaxing with her! She really went above and beyond in terms of being so attentive, working with his training, and making sure he had a super enriching time while I was away. I'm so grateful that she took the best care of him. As long as Sara's available I will never consider another sitter!”


8. April L.

“I’m so glad we found April for Bentley. We get plenty updates of Bentley throughout the day. April takes her time to get to know Bentley. He seems very happy with her! Will def book April again!”


9. Anthony A.

“I can't recommend Anthony and Nikita, enough as dog sitters! They went above and beyond in caring for my pup during the holiday season. They were incredibly attentive, showering her with love, cuddles, and outdoor adventures. She had so much fun during her stay, especially with personalized outings to dog parks where she met new pups and people. They were always closely monitoring her and making sure she was safe and happy. I also loved receiving adorable photo updates that showed just how much she was enjoying her time. She was the happiest she’s ever been while I was away, and I truly felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. If you're looking for top-notch dog sitters, Anthony and Nikita are the perfect choice!”


10. Alexis A.

“We boarded our dog, Tara with Alexis while we went away on a trip. Alexis checked in with us daily on Tara’s stay. She sent pictures and let us know Tara got her medication on time. We had a great trip knowing Alexis was taking such great care of Tara, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. Overall, it has been a GREAT experience working with Alexis and we absolutely suggest her to others.”


11. Alma & Victor S.

“Alma and her husband were great with our dog Ram! They quickly responded to a request to book after our other dog sitter canceled which was greatly appreciated. They sent us a few photos every day, including of him on walks and at the park!”


12. Eiko S.

“My second time boarding my senior dachshund with Eiko and he had such a great time. Eiko did a great job of keeping my posted with updates and pictures, but not so frequent that I was worried or checking my phone too much. My dog seemed to have a great time and my trip away was pretty worth-free. I would happily book with Eiko again!”


13. Paula R.

“Thank you Paula for giving Porky such a great time!!! Porky made so many friends and looked so happy everyday! He told me you’re officially his second mom now. And he can’t wait to come back to spend more time with you🔥😍”


14. Melina B.

“Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!”


15. Danielle M.

“Danielle treated our dog to more TLC and walks than we do ourselves, to be honest. Snowy loved her and she was a pleasure to work with. 5 paws up 🐕”


16. Alexandra O.

“Our dog Brody seemed comfortable with Alex from the first introduction and did very well in her care. She has an upbeat and welcoming manner, and a wonderful way of speaking to him directly. He often does not eat the first day or so that we were away but that was not a worry when he was with Alex. She understood his needs very well and took excellent care of him. I would definitely use Alex again for his care.”


17. Chanakarn & Jakree V.


“Loved the constant communication and pic/videos we got. It was so nice to see my baby play with all the other dogs. I can tell he was incredibly happy and comfortable during his stay.”


18. Ellie & Jurre R.

“Ellie and Jurre were wonderful! Very communicative, consistently tired out my high energy dog, and even got cuddles from her (no easy feat for a dog who doesn’t like strangers). 100% would book with them again!”


19. Pablo S.

“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”


20. Sneha A.

“Our dog was very well cared for during our trip. Sneha is very warm and affectionate and sent us many pictures. Our dog came home happy.”
