1. Ariel M.

“Ariel was great! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates. I was also happy to see other dogs in Ariel’s care. It meant that Nandi would not only have a great place to stay while I traveled but that she also got to socialize with other dogs. Nandi seemed happy and calm during pickup which is always a good sign when I use Rover sitters. I had peace knowing that Nandi was cared for and safe while I was away. I would definitely book with Ariel again.”

“Dezmond took fantastic care of our pup! He was very communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure he provided the best, safe environment for her. Monse and Dez were patient as she warmed up and got comfortable in their home. She left happy and exhausted from playing with Dez’s pups!”


4. Lorraine C.


“Lorraine took great care of Pucci! She is welcoming and very attentive to his needs, as well as having a nice yard for some outside time. We received frequent photos as always feel assured that he is in great hands when we are out of town :)”

“Shirley is fantastic with both our dog (medium size hound mix) and cat. Our dog gets so excited when she realizes she is going to stay with Shirley. Very responsive and responsible and communicates well with pics every day. We never worry about their wellbeing while in Shirley’s care.”

“Janet was awesome in taking care of our furry baby Panda. she has obviously taken care of a lot of pets over the years and she updated us regularly with photos and videos. We would gladly leave Panda in her care again as the need arises.”




7. Carolina C.

“We left our little Leo for the very first time and we were nervous. After our video meeting with Carolina we felt like we could trust her with our little guy for our 5 night getaway. It was a good sign when Leo just walked up to her and followed her in when I dropped him off. She was awesome. She sent us pictures of Leo throughout the day and we were happy to see Leo so comfortable and feeling loved. He had good times outside and inside. Thanks Carolina for taking care of Leo!!!”


8. Eniya H.

“Axx enjoyed his stay with Eniya and her various family members! He had some new experiences while there and I was pleased with how well Axx responded. Eniya sent pictures and videos that made me feel comfortable that he was in good hands. Anita is very personable to humans, but she is definitely a dog lover! I’m so happy I’ve found a reliable, competent sitter for our boy!!”


9. Khala T.
“Khala did an amazing job with our brindle puppy, Bandie. She is pretty large at abt 60 lbs and can be rambunctious in the evening. Khala did not report any concerns and kept us constantly informed about how things were going with Bandie. When Bandie did get a hold of and gnaw part of her harness, Khala shared this with us immediately which allowed us to lean in on that Amazon Prime membership and get a new one ordered. When we picked her up, everything was neatly packed in her overnight bag we had sent with her. I left the pickup spot wondering and looking for more times for her to watch her. Thanks Khala for watching over Bandie so well !!”

14. Katherine H.

“I absolutely love this sitter! My dog always has the best time and comes home happy and exhausted. She got sick on this last visit and they were very communicative and followed up after to make sure Rylee was okay. All good things to say!!!!”


15. Alexandra E.

“Alexandra is a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our two pups for an entire week. She provided daily pictures showing my boys playing, eating, and even relaxing on the couch. When we picked them up a the end of their week-long stay, both were so relaxed and happy. We definitely plan to rebook with Alexandra.”


16. Katherine D.

“Katherine was wonderful. I had no worries at all. She sent daily updates as well as pictures. A very loving and caring person. You won't regret booking your dogs stay with her.”


17. Malchom N.
“Malcholm and his family took amazing care of my two dogs pitbull mixes. They stayed for about five days and Malcholm sent photos every day. He incorporated my dogs into their family life and it really seems like the dogs had a great time. Malcholm included the dogs on walks to school as well as at neighborhood activities. Both dogs take supplements with their meals, and Malcholm followed my feeding instructions carefully. He also asked clarification questions to ensure that their transition was smooth and that they were comfortable during their stay. Malcholm was easy to communicate with and coordinate with before during and after my dogs’ stay at his home. The kids in the home enjoyed the dogs and I’m glad that they kept my dogs company while I was away. Malcholm and his family really really enjoy animals and I’m glad that my pups can be part of their lives every now and again. Gracie and Sisco’s beds, blanket and toys were well taken care of and I think, even cleaned before I picked them up. I’m very happy with the care that Malcholm and his family provided to my dogs and I will certainly avail of his services again when I go out of town or need overnight dog care. I don’t think my dogs Gracie and Sisco have ever been happier while I was away and I am super grateful to have found Malcholm! Thank you!!”


18. Tamara C.

“Tamara had great communication and made me feel at ease since it was my first time using this service. My dog loved her stay, and came home tired and happy! Will definitely book again when I need it. Thank you!”


19. Gloria & Fabio G.

“Gloria and Fabio were fabulous sitters for Oscar! They took the time to understand his routine and all his needs, and he looked like he had a great time with them. They were always quick to respond to communication, and kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos. I would be very happy to board Oscar with them again, and I think Oscar may hope for another visit soon.”


20. Gary W.

“Archer seemed relaxed at happy after his stay with Gary and his dogs. Gary addressed any concerns I had with his first time stay with the pack and I felt at ease leaving him for a few days. I would reuse Gary as a sitter for Archer when that time comes around again.”
