“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!!”

“Ruben took such great care of Winston! He sent tons of pictures and updates daily and made sure Winston was taken care of. We’ll definitely be booking with Ruben again in the future!”


“This was Daisy’s first stay with Joe but it won’t be her last! Joe clearly loves dogs and that gave us peace of mind on our vacation. We loved the photos and videos he shared with us. It was great to see Daisy enjoying herself with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Joe.”


“We had another great experience with Angel. Ferris got along really well with his dogs so it was nice knowing he had buddies. Angel gave at least daily updates with photos and videos, took Ferris out for regular exercise, and was very flexible with timing and logistics.”


“Suzanne was so kind and gentle with my girl, Java, who can be a little quirky. She kept me updated with lots of pics and I didn’t have any worries about my dog’s safety and health”


“Andrew was amazing! I have a young puppy- 3 months old- and he was able to care for her without any problems. I dropped her off in the early morning which was really convenient for my work and he sent me pictures throughout the day of my pup enjoying her time with all of Andrew’s other furry friends. I am trying to allow my puppy to gain exposure to other dogs and Andrew’s place was perfect for just that! He texted me updated throughout the day on what she was doing, how she was enjoying herself, sent many different pics of her enjoying herself with other dogs and all the playing she was doing! I will definitely use Andrew again anytime I need to board my puppy. I know she was well taken care of and had a ton of fun with Andrew. Really appreciative of him being on Rover!”


“I'm always nervous when we leave Luna with someone new, but Lorraine made it really easy with a meet and greet which made drop off simple. We received lots of pictures to reassure us. Lorraine was super easy to work with for drop off and pickup and was accomodating for Luna's minor issue with stairs. Luna came home very relaxed and tired, I'm guessing from the fun she had at Lorraine's!”


“Erin was great help and took amazing care of our Shiba Inu for several days! We appreciated her communication and being so thorough to cater to our dog’s needs, as he is a bit high-maintenance. Our dog got plenty of exercise and play time with Erin’s dog. I would highly recommend!”


“Emily was great watching Eleanor while I was out of town. She was a great communicator, was super flexible when I had to change plans, and I know Eleanor had a great time with her!”


“Diana and Scott were amazing! They gave regular updates, sent fun videos/photos, and were super flexible. Ww will be sending our pup to stay with them again!”


“Jackie and her family were amazing with our dog. They took amazing care of him, and even took him out to play a few times. Jackie kept me updated with pictures and videos though-out the weekend. Our dog enjoyed his visit and I will be booking Jackie next time we’re in need of a sitter!!”



“Diana has been very proactive throughout the stay.. my pup seemed to love her ... Diana was very communicative she sent me daily reports...Diana was more than happy to take melody to the doctor when melody fell sick. I had a very peaceful vacation thanks to Diana :)”


“Penny looks like she had a nice time staying with Adam and we would use his services again (if he's available). He provided updates when requested and was transparent about an altercation Penny had with another dog (who surprised her). I recommend Adam as a sitter!”


“Angelina went above and beyond caring for our Butterscotch. Excellent communication and multiple pictures sent every day. She even noticed his itchy skin issue and offered to recommend homeopathic remedies. Will definitely be booking with her again.”


“This was our first experience with Rover and Kimberly made it really easy! She answered all our questions and met our dog in advance of her stay to make sure she would be comfortable. Our dog was clean and well cared for and happy upon her return. We would be glad to book with Kimberly again!”


“Yolanda was amazing and the best sitter I’ve ever had. She took such excellent care of my dog. She sent me updates with pictures during my dog’s stay daily. I could tell that my dog was truly loved by her and family and so happy during staying with them. I didn’t have to worry about my dog and felt very comfortable while I was on vacation. I would definitely use her service again and recommend her to others. Thank you Yolanda and family!”


“Laura and Vladimir are wonderful, along with the rest of the family members that I got to meet. They are all very attentive dog caregivers! Our senior pup seemed very comfortable in their care and got along well with the other dogs that they were hosting.”


“So great to have peace of mind while we are travelling! Stella is our senior dog and can be particular with people, we feel incredibly lucky to be able to leave her and feel safe!”


“This was our second time leaving our pup with Alma and she had an amazing stay. Alma was a great communicator and was able to accommodate our schedule changes, and she took great care of Maya, sending plenty of photos and videos. We highly recommend Alma and hope to leave our dog with her again soon.”
