“Sush was very nice with us and our dog. Our dog certainly ate something wrong during his stay and felt sick, Sush gave us details and information very often during her sickness and ask for news even after. We should told her in advance that our dog doesn't have to eat anything else then her food.She also gave us some vet around us if needed. We thank you Sush and Aby her son for taking care of our Dachshund Gaia. We recommend her as our dog could not be alone at any time she stays at home with her. Thanks”
“Nina is so great with my dog Barza! I have booked with her before and Barza always comes home a happy pup! Nina send pictures and updates daily and is super accommodating. Will definitely book again!!”
“This is our dog’s second stay with Cynthia. Our dog doesn’t like to be around aggressive dogs, so I was relieved and appreciated when Cynthia required a meet and greet to ensure our dog and hers, Crisco, who is also submissive got along well. This gave me peace of mind to know that other dogs staying with Cynthia during our dog’s stay would be friendly and not aggressive. Cynthia was very good about communicating during the stay both times, with photo updates. She was also very good about responding to texts or questions. When we dropped off our dog for her second stay, she wagged her tail happily and ran right inside, a very good sign. We will use Cynthia again when we need dog care!”
“Christine was awesome and caring, 10 out of 10 would recommend!!! Our dogs had such a great time staying with her and came home exhausted after a day of hikes and playing in her large backyard. I would not hesitate to book with her in the future!”
“So grateful for Kerstyn to take our Charlie last minute. Our dog got along great with hers! I feel bad my she took such good care of her on walks and lots of snuggles. Will use again!”
“Lizzie was so accommodating and extremely responsive. Lincoln and her dog, Walter got along well! She sent lots of pictures throughout the stay. We hope to book with Lizzie again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Gabriela is the best! She comes highly recommended and we had already used her services for walks. So we jumped at the chance to send our pup to her for a multi-day boarding stay when we were headed out of town. She was amazing; sending us tons of updates, pics, and was very flexible on pickup/drop-off logistics. Most importantly she took such good care of our pup! We will absolutely use Gabriela again and so should you!”
“Jodee, AJ and Maverick took care of our Daphne as if she was there own. She had a blast playing with Maverick and touring their neighborhood!!! Thank you for making Daphne feel at home❤️”
“Lauren and Bentley took such good care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. Lauren is incredibly responsive, kind, calm, and patient which made leaving our boy with her for the first time very reassuring. She sent updates via messages, photos, and videos each day we were gone. Would definitely recommend Lauren and will be returning customers!”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Long happy sigh of relief. That’s because the stress of finding a spot for our pup when we travel is gone. Leonard and family were amazing with Hazel. I know our dog would be loved, played with and well cared for. Leonard updated us with pictures and tidbits and also took care to make sure that we wanted the updates (which we did!). It’s clear that Leonard gets dogs and has a good instinct about their needs. I can’t recommend enough. 5 stars!”
“My boy had such a great time! I received regular and periodic updates with pictures about his time there. Zuleirys was amazing! You can tell that she and her pup Zoro loved on my little Chadwick. He came home happy and tired. I realized very last minute that I needed pup-care, poor planning on my part. We were able to schedule a meet & greet for the next day to ensure the pups connected and it was smooth sailing from there. I can’t thank Zuleirys enough for her time, loving, and attention to my boy. Will definitely book again and might just do my bot can hang out with other pups more often.”
“Alyce was wonderful with our boy! She was very caring and attentive. Great updates with messages, pictures, and videos. Nice fenced backyard and screened in porch to play with Mookie. Thanks so much!”
“Luciana took great care of our little dog. She sent photos right away to show that he had settled in happily and stayed in touch during his stay with more pics, update/any questions. She made sure our picky eater got enough to eat. We would definitely use Luciana again.”
“Nicole was great with our dog Shira, Shira felt right at home. Nicole kept me informed and sent me daily pictures of Shira lounging on the sofa, bed, being the spoiled princess that she is. Nicole also took care of my cat, and we will be using her again. Highly recommended.”
“Our dog came home happy and calm from Laurie & Richard's house. They were great communicators and sent us lots of photos during our trip. We especially appreciated their flexibility when our return trip was delayed and we picked up our dog later than initially planned. Recommend!”
“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”
“Dana was wonderful with Evie! She is warm, well-organized, and kept me informed at all times. She truly did her best to make Evie feel comfortable, and Evie ended up opening up to her very quickly. I felt at ease knowing my pet was in such caring hands.”
“Emma and Joe took excellent care of our dog while we were away. They provided daily updates with photos and videos, and were always responsive. They were also flexible and understanding when our flight was delayed. Knowing that our dog was in safe, trustworthy hands was the biggest relief. I absolutely recommend them as dog sitters if you are looking for experienced and thoughtful dog care!”

Lyon Park dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing sitter! Becky was extremely attentive and provided regular updates. She is very gracious especially when our dog had an accident inside. We absolutely trust Becky with our pup. If you’re looking for a reliable and response sitter, look no further! You’ve found the best one.
She is the best pet sitter I’ve ever met! She kept me updated frequently about how my dog was doing and always checked in to see if there was anything else he needed. Communication was smooth and easy the whole time. My dog is quite energetic and can be a handful, but Jisoo did her absolute best—taking him on long walks and giving him lots of playtime. She’s truly a responsible sitter I could trust completely. I felt at ease leaving my dog in her care!
Fantastic sitters! We were gone for a long weekend and never had to wonder what our dog was up to because Jack and Julie sent us plenty of photo updates. The pictures showed that she was happy in a clean and quiet house with a yard. We’d very happily leave Z with Jack and Julie again.
Jordan and his family took great care of our active 3 year old lab for 3 nights. Communication with Jordan before and during her stay was great. We got lots of pictures. Our pup was happy and clearly well cared for at Jordan's - we'll definitely be reaching out to him when we need some overnight pup help again!
Angela is AMAZING! She watched Kali for an extended weekend while I was out of town, and was able to adjust to multiple last minute changes due to issues with my flights and work schedule changes. She even let Kali stay an extra night when I found out I wouldn’t be getting home until much later than expected! Angela was incredibly responsive and easy to work with, and she sent lots of photos of Kali during her stay!
Nicole was great with our dog Shira, Shira felt right at home. Nicole kept me informed and sent me daily pictures of Shira lounging on the sofa, bed, being the spoiled princess that she is. Nicole also took care of my cat, and we will be using her again. Highly recommended.
This was our Moose’s second time staying with Mariela and the care that was provided was just as spectacular as the first time🤩 We received just the right amount of updates/pictures and felt at ease the entire time Moose was away from us. Most importantly, Moose was happy at pick-up and showed zero signs of stress. It was clear that he had a great time staying with Mariela and that he was super loved❤️
