“Yvette is the BEST. She truly cares about your pup just like her own. This is my second time having her watch my dog and she will be the only person I send my dog to. She goes above and beyond and loves your pet like her own. She even sewed up his toy that he chewed up!! Thank you so so much for everything!!”
“Maureen was an absolutely wonderful caregiver to Rocky! She was extremely accommodating of us dropping him off later in the day and picking him up early. She sent us updates, even though he didn't stay with her for long and eased our worries! We would highly recommend!”
“It’s always such a relief to have someone as wonderful as Noelle and Victor watching Dunkin when we need a sitter . They are so amazing! This was Dunkin’s 2nd visit and they are just so amazing and take such great care of him ❤️”
“Bob was wonderful to our nervous little pup! He made sure she was well taken care of and she felt very much at home at his place. Would definitely have her stay again!”

“What a wonderful woman to leave your pets with. I have tow big dogs and she has her own big dog. She was attentive, active, and so communicative on their daily stools, play, and cuddle sessions. Would highly recommend Bridget, she was very thoughtful and trustworthy with my two fur babies !”
“Bishoy and his wife were amazing in caring for our golden retriever. She had a lot of play time outside & cuddles, and we received regular updates/pictures. Very kind people and I would definitely recommend them!”
“Michelle was so great to our dog, Josie. We were in a pinch and needed a last minute sitter. Michelle was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates throughout the stay which made me feel at ease knowing Josie was in good hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dog loving sitter!”
“Shawn watched our two dogs for 9 days at his house. We received daily video updates, pics, and text messages. Was very comfortable knowing they were being taken care of so well. We will definitely be using him again when we go away. Highly recommend Shawn if you are looking for somebody to take care of your pups. Thank you for doing an amazing job!”
“Highly recommend! William hosted my diabetic/blind senior doggy and took such good care of him. William is very detail oriented, asked great questions showing he truly cares. He sent regular updates, went above and beyond making sure my dog eats and made me feel better about leaving him behind. Pugsy will definitely be coming back! Thanks William!”
“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!”
“Michael and Danielle were wonderful with Wally. Drop off and pick up was really easy. Their home is beautiful and they have a fenced in yard where Wally could run around with their dog Jet. We received daily updates with lots of photos of Wally enjoying herself. We would definitely trust them with Wally again! Thank you!”
“Aylin K. is awesome! She took great care of our Willow while we were away. Dropping Willow off at Aylin's place was super easy, and I could tell right away that she'd be in good hands. Aylin sent us cute pics every day, which was so nice - we got to see Willow having a blast! Whenever I texted to check in, Aylin got back to me super quick. It was clear Willow was having a great time. The best part? Aylin's got this amazing yard where the dogs can run around and play safely. When we picked Willow up, she was happily tired out - always a good sign! Aylin's house was clean, and Willow looked so well taken care of. It's obvious Aylin really loves the dogs she watches. We'll definitely be using Aylin again. If you need someone to watch your pup, she's your girl! Willow can't wait for her next 'vacation' at Aylin's.”
“My goldendoodle Ozzy stayed with Nora while we were away on our one week cruise. Nora provided the very best care and love for our Ozzy and sent consistent communication and pictures of him resting, enjoying his walks, and playing outside in the snow! We will definitely use Nora for any of Ozzy’s future care needs!”
“So happy that we found Kevin to watch our dog. Kevin was professional, communicative, flexible, and took amazing care of our minpin. My dog didn’t want to leave Kevin’s house and was completely relaxed and happy when I picked him up. We will definitely be using Kevin again!!!”
“Captain loved being with Alex and he was very helpful and knows a lot about dogs. He helped me out with last min booking since we had an emergency and he let captain stay longer as well”
“It was a pleasure working with Kyle. He is a good communicator and sent us several pictures of our dog, Leo on the sofa, which allowed Leo to feel more at home. Highly Recommended!”

This was Charlie's first time boarding at Jing's place. He had a great stay! Jing and her husband Mike gave us updates everyday and video/pictures of Charlie. Great communication the whole time. He enjoyed playing with her dog Jade and attention, love from her daughter. I know he was in great hands while we were away.
Alena was able to take my Bailey on short notice. House seems dog friendly with fenced in yard. She had several other dogs while he was there. He came home tired which always seems to be a good sign. She was somewhat flexible with drop-off time to accommodate me. Sent pictures 2 of 3 days. Response time to texts also varied. Overall good experience.
Kyle took great care of our Brie like she was his own. He sent pictures of her for us to enjoy while we were on our trip which was sweet because we missed her! Our dog has random bladder issues and a lot of anxiety, both of which were handled with care and like a true professional by Kyle. We highly recommend Kyle for trusted care!
Caitlyn and her mom were so sweet to Kora during her weekend stay. There were cuddles, walks and lots of updates letting me know that my baby was having the best time. I think she might have been having too much fun getting all the love and attention… I wasn’t sure if she would want to come home. It gave me so much peace to know that she was so well taken care of… Highly recommend Caitlyn and would definitely use her again.
Kevin was a great sitter for my dog Mocha! We were coming in from out of town and he was very communicative and accommodating for all of Mocha’s needs. He made sure to keep us updated throughout the day and send pictures, and I felt confident knowing that he was watching Mocha for us. I would definitely recommend Kevin and would leave Mocha with him again!
Susana was a Godsend for me. She was able to watch my dog over the Christmas holiday. I don't know what I would have done without her. Her home is just perfect for accommodating a large dog and the house was spotless. Her natural love for dogs was event in our meet and greet and my dog was overly thrilled to return to her home. I was a little nervous having someone watch my Gustav, but she put me at ease, sent pictures and played fetch with my dog. She also walked him and took him to the dog park. Without a doubt, I will be using Susana again in the future. I am so glad that I found her. She is also very conveniently off the GSP, which was another plus. Thank you again, Susana, for all you do.
