“Rhea was great with my pup! She provided regular walks and updates. My fauna is a very picky eater and Rhea was very patient and understanding with her, all around excellent care!”
“Would definitely book again. Yuiko was open, incredibly kind, and quick with communication. I was sent updated photos each day, and my dog looked content and comfortable. There is a big backyard, which was one of the perks, especially for dogs that enjoy space to explore. My dog is fairly mellow and low energy, and it seemed like the perfect environment. Highly recommend!”
“Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Christin was great with our dog! She kept us updated throughout the say with how he was doing and you could tell how much she enjoyed being with him even with some of his quirks!”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Donte was great with my dog. Very professional and knowledgeable about dogs. He responds fast, sent videos and updates about my dog and was very understanding when my flight was delayed. I will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Emelie was the sweetest and most communicative caretaker I could’ve asked for for our little guy. He has some anxiety issues and needed a little extra TLC and that all seemed fine and easily done by this sweet and kind carer. He also got along with her other dogs really well which I’m sure made him feel even more at peace and at home away from home. Highly recommend Emelie for anyone looking for a safe, loving place for their furry family member.”
“Rachel was a fantastic pet sitter for our frenchie Josie. She was so attentive, kind, understanding and thoughtful. Josie was welcomed and felt right at home immediately. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who needs exceptional care for their dog.”
“Liam was fantastic with Maggie, and she loved playing with Jack! Liam was incredibly communicative providing updates and photos of Maggie which is so comforting when being away from your fur baby. We highly recommend booking with him!”
“My fur baby usually has separation anxiety and gets sad with other people but she Absolutely LOVED Tamika ! Was so happy to be with her and playing for several days . 5 stars”
“We will definitely be checking for Rebecca’s availability next time we need a dog sitter she was so great with our pup. She sent a lot of updates and pictures and treated Jackie like her own. Thanks again Rebecca!”
“Jennifer is truly the best! Communicative and great with my dog. Also has a fun back yard and great pets- my dog always comes home nice and tired!”
“Carismeldi took fantastic care of my pup! She also sent plenty of updates and pics throughout this first stay which was reassuring. So thankful to have found her as a sitter. Looking forward to our dog staying with her again in a few weeks!”
“Our dog Pinta loved staying with Eric and his wife. They were super communicative with us and took her on lots of walks even in the snow and very cold temperatures. It was clear that our pup received a lot of love! We will definitely reach out to them again when we need a sitter.”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“We can’t express how amazing Ginger is! Our pups are both rescues and have their own little quirks and needs. Our Margo is very anxious and attentive, and both pups aren’t the best walkers. Though, Ginger was so incredibly amazing with making sure they were comfortable and worked with them on their tendencies while taking them on wonderful long walks. She was so communicative, sharing pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant the world to us so we knew how things were going. We can’t thank Ginger enough for how caring, friendly, and active she was with our pups!”
“Amazing as always - watched Marshall over the Christmas holiday and treated him like his own pup! Lavished him with toys, cuddles, and hugs! Marshall is a demanding dog - does not play well with other dogs and doesn’t like to be left alone and he just absolutely thrives with Chris. Thank you!”
“Melanie was amazing!! I really appreciated that she asked lots of questions about my two boys because it gives me peace of mind that their doggy sitter will take the best care of them. Which was actually what happened! She sent lots of photos of updates during the stay. Her dog Pippa was also so sweet and got along great with Mr and Captain. We had a change of plans at the end and Melanie was so helpful in accommodating us. Would definitely recommend her to everyone!”

As always, Spencer and Nellie took amazing care of our dog Hazel. This stay was for 8 nights and we had complete peace of mind while we were traveling. It's clear how much care and thought both Spencer and Nellie put into everything that they do. Their daily updates were detailed, transparent, and always included fun photos. They even celebrated Hazel's gotcha day while we were gone. I cannot recommend them enough, they are the sitters we trust most with our girl!
Our pup is always in good hands with Fran and Curtis! They are incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and dog behavior, and are incredibly patient with our reactive senior. I enjoy the photo updates and feel better when I am away knowing that our dog is in their care.
Wow! This was our first time using Rover, and I am so grateful that we found Melanie. Our pup was instantly at ease in her home, with her, and with her delightful dog Pippa. Communication was regular and easy, and we got updates and pics (but also not too many). We have already made plans for a return stay. Thank you Melanie!!!!!
Christin watched our pup for the second time in a row and we knew neyland was so loved the whole time we were away! She was very responsive and accommodating to schedule adjustments even picking up our dog because she was going to be in the neighborhood! We got lots of pictures throughout out time away to see how our pup was!
Haleigh was amazing to work with! She was very responsive and you could tell she cared a lot for both her animals and yours. My dog did really well with her. She sent photos and kept me updated as well. She pampered him more than I do myself, lol! I had a delay in picking him up, and she accommodated the change in pickup time. I am 100% going to use her again and would recommend her. PS she also gave my dog a biscuit to take home at the end of the stay! :)
There are truly no words for how perfect my experience having Kathy watch my 8 year old 60lb golden doodle. He has separation anxiety and actually pulled us to her house after our initial meet and greet because he loved her dogs and house so much. Kathy was extremely communicative and proactively sent pics and videos of my dog living his best life. I am extremely skeptical of all dog sitters and Kathy has shown us that good people exist and can give you the peace of mind you need to leave your fur baby. Additionally Kathy dropped off and picked up Boe from our wedding ceremony which is above and beyond what you’d expect from a sitter. 20/10 stars we will always remember how amazing Kathy and her boyfriend are
Estefania & Francisco did such a wonderful job watching our one year old dog Ben during his first ever weekend at a sitter’s. They were very responsive, sent lots of updates and pictures, and did an amazing job making both us and Ben feel at ease. We will definitely be using them again!
Kelsey was excellent!!! We’d definitely use her again! She was enthusiastic about being with our big doggy, sent plenty of photos throughout Nola’s stay and took wonderful care of her! I felt really good leaving my dog in her care. She was very professional, capable of handling a big dog and sent plenty of photos cuddling with our pup and treating as her own. Thank you Kelsey!
