3. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Our 10 month old puppy had his first overnight sitter care with Chana and Jake. He had tons of fun playing with other cute and friendly dogs. We got many updates and photos to reassure that he is adjusting well. I like that Chana is very careful in selecting friendly dogs so each dog has a positive experience. We look forward to trusting our puppy in their capable hands when we travel next month.”
4. Melina B.
“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”
5. Sara B.
“The hype about Sara is 10000% true!!! I left my baby boy with her for 2 weeks after only having him for 2 months, and though I missed him, I never had a moment of worry because I knew he was in the very best of hands (and paws) with her and Soba!! Sara kept me updated very regularly and sent me such wonderful photos. She's a super transparent and effective communicator, and obviously has a special touch with dogs. My pup had so much fun playing, adventuring, cuddling and relaxing with her! She really went above and beyond in terms of being so attentive, working with his training, and making sure he had a super enriching time while I was away. I'm so grateful that she took the best care of him. As long as Sara's available I will never consider another sitter!”
6. Jeff & Beth K.
“We left our dog with Jeff for a last minute weekend away. She had such a great time! She loved being with their family and came home very happy and tired. They sent many pictures letting us know how she was doing. We will definitely leave her with them again.”
7. Karen M.
“My pup had such a good time with Karen and her family :) I was given daily updates / photos, and could tell she was comfortable and at ease with them. Would definitely recommend Karen !!!”
8. Jennifer L.

9. Kelly L.
“Kelly is the best pet sitter. She treats pets as if they are people. My dog Philly absolutely loves Kelly. Kelly sends endless photos/videos, and returns Philly to me showered and with homemade treats. Thank you so much Kelly, and 10/10 recommend.”

“Super communicative and caring. Detailed messages of how she was doing with some cute photos. Even bathed our dog when she decided to roll in poop. Yikes!”
11. Lilly R.
“Lilly is the best! She and her husband treated Cody like their own family member. She sent me regular updates on Cody with pictures and videos, making me enjoy my out of town trip to the fullest without any guilt. I could tell that Cody had a great time as well. I'll definitely use her service again.”

16. April L.
“April is by far one of the best rover sitters I have ever encountered. We decided to do a meet and greet beforehand. April was so very in kind in letting myself and little Kobi come into her home. This was a first for me as all of my previous meet and greets were done at a park, on a walk, etc. this allowed for me to see where Kobi would be staying and give some ups on his behaviors, etc. She was so very generous in answering all of my questions and I felt so much at ease knowing that I was able to give her a proper download well in advance. Kobi stay went swimmingly! I received a lot of photos and updates. April kept me up to date with the going’s on and made sure to run things by me as the days progressed. I feel so very fortunate to have found her and I can’t wait to book with her again! Do not hesitate to use April as she will take great care of your little one.”
17. Taryn & Jeffrey T.
“Taryn and her husband Jeff have lovingly cared for our dog Chips several times and he always comes back happy and healthy! Their dog Peixe is one of Chips's favorite playmates; Peixe is incredibly well-behaved and cared for beautifully. One time while watching Chips, the Bay Area had a crazy heat wave and I felt totally confident that he was safe and comfortable while we were away despite his thick fur and high energy level/exercise needs. Chips is a bit of a wild man on walks/hikes and they deal with him SO well! Loving, conscientious, safe, and fun - those are the hallmarks of Taryn's caregiving style <3”
18. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She watched both of our dogs for a week and provided daily updates on what they were up to and included some amazing pictures. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling amazing a few of the days and Stephanie went above and beyond to notify us and even offered to take the dog to the vet. Both dogs are properly exhausted after an amazing visit with Stephanie, even teaching me a fun game to play with the dogs! I 100% trust Stephanie with my dogs and honestly can’t put into words how happy I am to have found her.”
19. Chad A.
“Chad is wonderful with my Benny. When I leave Benny in his care I know that Benny has a great time and is well looked after because he sends me picture/video updates. Benny is always wagging his tail when he sees Chad. I will continue to book Chad.”
20. Danielle M.
“Danielle was amazing!! Took such great care of our pup Rosie, kept us up to date with plenty of pics and videos. This was our first time leaving our dog with someone else and we are so incredibly appreciative of Danielle’s care and attention.”
