If “amazing dog sitter” could have an image for a definition it would be Maisha! I’ve left my baby with her many times now and I trust her very much with my fur baby. If you’re looking for someone or trying to switch to a new sitter, Maisha is your girl 🤍

Jenny was great, patience, kind and communicative. She sent pictures and replied to our messages. Most importantly she was sweet to our fearful dog Tessa and made her feel safe. I would recommend her to anyone.

Milena is a gem; our dog has a wonderful time with her, is extremely well cared for, and (if we’re honest), is probably a little sad when we come to pick her up after a stay with Milena. Highly recommend!

Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!

It’s always uncomfortable leaving a pet in a new place but with Angie that feeling vanished quickly. She’s responsive and punctual and great with animals. I could tell my pup was happy and relaxed in the pics she sent while I was away. Zeus had such a good stay he didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up!

We had a last minute emergency occur 2 hours before leaving for our Christmas vacation and needed a sitter asap for our pup - we reached out and T responded almost immediately and took Ralphie in while we were away. Ralphie LOVED his time there! She took such great care of my baby in a pinch of time too. We are so thankful will definitely rebook.

I’ve booked with Naomi many, many times now. She’s wonderful and Kubo loves to go back. She takes care of him and loves him like he’s her own. Not to mention that Naomi is so kind and sweet herself. She updates me about how Kubo is doing each time I book with her and always welcomes him back with open arms, even if I request a last-minute booking. Definitely book with her. She’s the best. :-)

Stacia is truly amazing! I had to leave my fur baby for almost three weeks when she was six months old and I was terrified of leaving her. From the first time I met Stacia, I knew she was the right person. From multi daily updates, videos, and chats I could tell my puppy was in the best of hands, Stacia takes care of her clients like members of her own family. My puppy truly loved and cherished her time with Stacia and her family. She came back to me healthy, happy, and much tamer than when I left her. Stacia is a person with wonderful patience, compassion, and loves animals as well as people. She has a beautiful enclosed back yard where my dog loved to romp and play. My pup got both playtime with other pups as well as personalized alone time with Stacia and her family… all of her needs were fully taken care of. I highly recommend Stacia to anyone looking for a wonderful person and family to leave their pet with. One experience and I am a lifetime client!

Our dog Sig stayed with Darien for three nights, and we were very impressed! Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated throughout the day with lots of photos of Sig’s activities. On top of that, she is a certified groomer, and as a courtesy for his first stay, she returned Sig freshly bathed and wearing an adorable bandana. Sig seemed very happy and well taken care of during his time with her. We are extremely satisfied and would absolutely recommend her dog sitting services!

Caroline was amazing! So kind and friendly. Pogo went for a visit to meet the pack and on the day of his stay he was so eager for her to open the door. When she took him by his leash he walked off and never looked back. She has a large fenced in yard with plenty of grass for the dogs to run around and have a sniffing feast. Will definitely use again when I come back in town!

I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received! I had to leave out of state unexpectedly and realized at the last minute that I had made arrangements for everyone except our family dog. Thankfully, Klainer stepped in without hesitation and made the entire experience stress-free. Klainer kept me updated daily with pictures and text messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was being cared for with love, patience, and attention. I truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. I will most definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter!

Veronica is absolutely incredible! She took such wonderful care of Tasha and truly went above and beyond. When Tasha was feeling a bit down and lost her appetite, Veronica didn't just ignore it—she actually went out and bought special food to encourage her to eat and spent extra time cheering her up. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the happiness and health of the pups she watches. Tasha came home happy and healthy. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone!

Diana was wonderful. She accepted the littles last minute when my vet tech referred her for senior care after a medical boarding when my work trip was unexpectedly extended. She provided a calm stable environment for my senior blind/deaf Yorkie and administered his medication effectively. Her photos showed both dogs happy and cared for and my Maltipoo probably would have preferred to stay with Diana when I picked them up! I highly recommend her, especially if your dog has special needs as she is caring and compassionate.

This was Milo’s second stay with Jullien, and he once again provided excellent care for him. Jullien kept us updated every day and sent us pics of Milo’s adventures, and he was once again very accommodating when our flight was delayed. We are so happy that we found Jullien. It’s so reassuring to know that your pet will be comfortable and happy while you’re away. +++++++++
