“Sush did a wonderful job with Louie! My kids miss Louie a lot when we are away and she was very helpful sending pictures for them. I could tell from the pictures that Louie was well cared for and had lots of good play time. We will definitely be asking Sush to watch Louie again.”


“Our puppy Cavapoo Tia stayed at Andy for 5 nights during thanksgiving break. Andy was great sharing daily pictures. The stay was smooth and we would use Andy again for future needs.”


“I was nervous to leave my dog Archie with a sitter for the first time, but it went wonderfully! Lina and her family spoiled Archie with lots of treats and time in the yard, and I got lots of photo updates. He's already looking forward to his next stay! ❤️🐶”


“This is the second time my Velcro dog has stayed with Christine ;) Christine is a great communicator and always keeps me up to date on my pet. I feel like I can relax and know my precious pooch is being taken care with Christine ❤️ when I'm out of town!”


“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!”


“I have availed of Musa’s services for my dog many times now that I have lost count. That plus the fact that my dog drags me and runs up his walkway to his front door speaks for itself as to how nice he is and how much we like him and his service.”


“Katie is fantastic! She took such great care of our 9 month old pup who is very active! Katie is responsible, communicative, and loves animals. She sent us so many great updates throughout the stay and we picked up a very happy pup. Can’t recommend Katie enough!”


“Long took excellent care of Missy while we were out for 5 days. It’s not easy to leave your family pet behind while we went on vacation. Long sent us pictures every day, of our dog playing in his beautiful yard, which gave us peace of mind and made us happy. It was obvious that Long is passionate about dogs. His patient and calm nature made Missy feel at home.”


“Ashton and her adorable and so well behaved doodle, Rui, were the perfect match for our Bernedoodle! It was definitely one of the best Rover experiences we've had. Ashton was reliable, responsible, and so pleasant; Rui was inviting and a perfect playmate. I am grateful I found Ashton and Rui and will be calling on them again!”


“This was our first Rover experience , and was not sure what to expect. However, after our Dog’s three day stay with Mee Jeong and Daisy, we’re already hoping to be able to rebook with her in the future. From the start, Mee Jeong’s open and transparent communication reassured us that our dog Penny, will get the attention she needed. Penny, had suffered separation anxiety in the past and was hoping to find a caregiver that could keep her active and attended to. Mee Jeong provided us with daily updates and pictures throughout Penny’s stay and made the whole experience seamless. The best part about it was how happy and normal Penny was after the experience, as if we had never left… highly recommended!!!”


“Another amazing stay with Sam and Happy in the books! This is the third time we have used Sam's services and just like the first two, everything went really well and I knew my dog was well taken care of. I cannot recommend Sam enough. He is wonderful!”


“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”


“Ron was great! He took my dog on several long walks each day and texted me photos so I could see her enjoying herself on the local trails. Ron's own dog, Loki, is mellow, sweet, and the perfect canine "co-host!"”


“Laurie & Rich were great hosts for my dachshund mix Lily! The sent me regular check ins and pictures of my pup which I greatly appreciate. They communicated fantastically throughout the entire process, and accommodated all of my requests. I could not have asked for a better host! 10/10 would recommend.”


“Highly recommend! John took such good care of our dog Bandit while we were away. Even with the cold temperatures I knew he was taken out for walks multiple times and dressed accordingly. John updated me daily with photos and information about Bandits day. I knew he was spoiled and loved on the entire 9 days we were away. I also appreciated the fact that Bandit had company all day, everyday.”


“Katerine & Brian have watched our goldendoodle Winnie for us for multiple trips now and we are so lucky we found them! They took the best care of her, sent photo updates each day, and kept our mind as ease. Winnie loves them and runs right into their house whenever we go she has the best time!”


“I can't say enough good things about Karen! From the start she was so responsive and answered all my questions about her approach. I was really nervous as I was headed out of the country for over a week and my dog can be very finicky and shy in new places. She let me know how he was settling in with her and the other dogs she was watching, and gave updates and photos at least once a day. My dog often refuses to eat when stressed, but at Karen's he was happily eating his meals from the start, which for me was the biggest sign he was feeling good. He spent the rest of the trip snuggling next to her and bringing her toys so they could play. I love that she only takes small dogs and is very mindful of making sure they are all coexisting peacefully, including always separating each dog at meal time. I will definitely be using Karen again!”


“Mary was great without energetic young dog. She is very responsive and we loved getting the pictures of our dog having a good time with her. Thank you Mary!”


“Yasmine is absolutely amazing!! This is our second stay and my pup leaped out of the car to greet her and Mellow! She is kind, warm and attentive. She kept Blaz active and busy, then he snuggled up next to her pup. She sent pics and videos and even gave my puppy a gift! Btw, she also designs and sews handmade harnesses that are as cute as they are functional. Yasmine is a gem.”
