1. Yvette T.
“Puddin and Jack had the best time at Yvette’s! Our dogs were with her for 10 days while we were on vacation, and they had a blast playing and lounging in the backyard, snoozing on the couch, and sunbathing outside. Yvette treated our dogs like her own, and we could tell she was giving them so much love and care and snuggles in all her updates. She was super communicative and always kept us posted with how they were doing, and we felt so at ease on our vacation. Definitely recommend Yvette, and we’re looking forward to seeing her again soon!”
2. Mary B.
“Mary was excellent with my dog for an overnight stay, she gave constant feed back and photos. I was most impressed was that she took the trouble to come to my house 2 days prior to know the dogs personality and get familiarised. I would definitely try Mary again and highly recommend her.”
3. NAN Z.
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ,she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
4. Jaimie G.
“Jaimie was so easy to work with and clearly loves animals. I appreciate that it was only my 2 dogs and her own pets. My dogs seemed to enjoy their time with her.”
5. Jia C.
“Jia is truly amazing, our cats love hanging out with her. She’s always available and sends daily updates with photos. I cannot thank her enough”
6. Maureen W.
“She is the best dog sitter I have ever met. She sent photos and videos every day so I could tell my dog had a really great time with her and her dog. She accommodated drop-off & pick-up on our schedule as well.”
7. Jessica F.
“Jessica was fantastic! I received pictures of every activity in addition to updates on feedings, sleep, potty, training and play time. Kian came home nice and tired after a day and sleepover full of fun! I will absolutely book again.”
8. Noelle A.
“Couldn’t be happier ! Noelle, AGAIN, took such great care of my Jax while we were away. From the start , communication was excellent , and i appreciated the daily updates and photos that showed my Jax having the most relaxing and fun time! It was clear that Noelle provided a safe and loving environment with plenty of attention. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring boarding for their furry family !”
9. Lucas & Katherine H.
“Lucas and Katherine were great. Our dog had never stayed overnight with a sitter. They allowed him to sleep on their bed, take him out in the car so he wouldn’t be by himself, and even gave me some useful insights. They really love dogs.”
10. Neil & Nicole P.
“I always feel good leaving my dog with Neil & Nicole. I know she is well taken care of and love the photos & updates they send while I'm away.”
11. Shawn D.
“Highly recommend Shawn! Great communication, lots of photos and videos during our dog's stay. Wally was happy and relaxed, he enjoyed his holiday too. Thanks Shawn!”
12. Alexis M.
“Alexis was great. I was in a rush to find a sitter, and she responded to my call for help almost immediately. Her updates were also prompt. Unfortunately my dog got a little sick after I left, and Alexis did a great job of watching over my dog, keeping me informed, and never complained. So much compassion working with my dog and me. Thank You, Alexis!”
13. Barbara D.
“Our dog stayed with Barbra for two one week periods, she seems to love it there, getting along with both other guest dogs and Barbra's own, and was very excited to see her again for the second pick up. Barbara was flexible with logistical aspects, responsive to messages, and sent us plenty of cute pics. We'll definitely book her again.”
14. Margarita G.
“If I could give this sitter 100 stars, I would! I acquired my dog, not long ago as a foster and we have been inseparable since Jan 1, 2023. Leaving her with someone was literally giving me anxiety and she’s such a sweet dog and I didn’t want her in the wrong hands. After a few messages over the app I knew I made the right choice! I cannot express enough the high quality of care that my dog received. They treated her like one of their own. There were lots of updates and videos! My dog became best friends with everyone and her household and I am so thankful for them. I will most certainly use her again in the future! If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy look no further-I promise you, you won’t regret it!”
15. Isbath L.
“Oh my God, what should I say about this wonderful person, ISBATH, who looked after our Ace. Our dog is a single master dog and really a protector type. I was little hesitant to take him to meet Ms. Isbath. I don’t know, she may be some kind of magical approach. I never heard a single growl from Ace, which was really surprising. The day I dropped him to Isbath’s house, gradually Ace become a family member. The day I dropped Ace, Ms. Isbath send me plenty of photos and videos to update the boarding. My family and I are very much happy to Isbath and her family to look after our Ace and once we picked him up from Ace, he joined back to our family. I am sure that Ace also got a very excited and awesome vacation. We will definitely recommend Isbath and family. Once again thank you Isbath and Thank you Rover. May God Bless us all.”
16. William R.
“Bill is such a fantastic sitter!! If you're looking for a detail-oriented sitter that does his utmost to make your dog feel comfortable while giving your dog the best of care, please go to him! We left our elderly english bulldog, Lechon, with him for a week. Bill took great care of him. He gave Lechon filtered water, and helped him up the stairs as Lechon struggles with climbing sometimes. Our Lechon doesn't know his limits, so Bill also made sure to limit his play so he had time to breathe and not overexert himself. Bill really kept an eye on Lechon, and we're very pleased with the level of care and consideration Bill had with our elderly bulldog. I highly recommend Bill as a sitter. My family and I will definitely be returning to him in the future for our dog sitting needs. Thank you for everything Bill! Lechon looked so happy and healthy in the picture updates, and upon our arrival. It truly feels like you cared for him as if he were one of your own.”
