“Do not hesitate to book annie! She is so wonderful and Jett had the most amazing time. We had full confidence that Jett was well taken care of. We will be using annie any time we can in the future!”
“Karyn was warm and welcoming and her home is very calming. My senior pups loved their stay curled up next to the fireplace and exploring in her backyard. 5/5 stars for an amazing stay.”
“I can't say enough wonderful things about Elsie! She took such amazing care of my dog, Elphie, while I was away in Hawaii. I could tell she truly loves animals, and Elphie immediately warmed up to her. Throughout my trip, Elsie kept me completely at ease by sending regular updates and tons of adorable photos. Elphie looked so happy and playful in every single one—it was clear she was having the time of her life! Elsie made sure she had plenty of playtime, even letting her splash around on her water pad, which is one of Elphie’s favorite things to do. Coming home to a happy, well-loved pup made all the difference. I’m so grateful for Elsie's care, attention, and the genuine joy she brought to Elphie’s days while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive dog sitter. Thank you, Elsie!”
“I contacted Matthew at the very last minute to see if he could board my dog starting that very same day - 3 hours notice. My husband and I were at a pet friendly vrbo with our two dogs and found out that they would only allow one. He got back to me right away and was able to accommodate me. He and his partner took in our rambunctious rescue Dachshund Hans and took excellent care of him all weekend. Hans has high energy and separation anxiety and they were undaunted by that. They have a lovely home with a big back yard and two adorable dogs of their own who were great playmates. Photos they sent showed fun times and some good cuddling with the humans. I can't recommend these gents enough and will always get in touch with them when we come to the Palm Springs area with our pooches.”
“Anna & Tyler were so great! We’re so glad we found them on Rover. They both listened to our concerns about our dogs prior to their stay. We loved seeing the daily photos and updates. They were so easy to get ahold of and assisted with whatever concerns we had. Our dogs loved staying with them! Will definitely be looking to book again in the future.”
“Louise was wonderful. I felt so at ease and knew Sunny was enjoying her time. Loved the photos of her adventures and the updates during her stay! I will definitely reach out again.”
“Lynn provided a welcoming place to stay for my dog. My dog is a rescue dog who has very little social time and can be defensive. Lynn was very proactive and Lynne’s dog Lucy was too. My dog, Isla, was able to stay with Lynne for two days. Isla was a very happy camper. I will say that Lynne receives 5 stars from me. I will recommend her to anyone looking for a person knowledgeable about pets who has the skills to make it a really great experience for your pet.”
“Georgia (and her wife and furry family) were so welcoming and took the best care of our buddy! We immediately felt comfortable leaving him for 4 nights and appreciated the communication and pictures of his adventures! Highly recommend if your pup enjoys a family away from home 🥰 thank you!!!”
“ShaMiya was an absolute blessing. I needed a sitter to watch my 6 month old pup, Skai. She and her family were amazing with communication throughout the whole process as it was my first time using a service like this. We did a meet and greet prior to the date which added to me feeling more comfortable. And Skai took to her and her family right away. I would definitely use ShaMiya again and highly recommend her to my friends and others needing a dog sitter.”
“Tatem is the best! She’s watched Kennemur twice now and handled her meds with no problem. She’s always super responsive to check-ins and sends regular updates with photos of the animals playing, cuddling, and clearly having a great time. When we pick Kennemur up, she’s happy, relaxed, and ready for a nap 💤 Highly recommend!”
“Angelica took great care of my furr baby. She was very flexible when my flight was delayed. My entire family is very grateful to have Angelica take care of Hazel. She sent us pics and let’s us know of Hazels day while we were away. 😊”
“Maggie was a great sitter! Very friendly and communicative throughout the whole stay and flexible with her schedule, making drop off and pick up a breeze. She seemed to make my pup feel right at home and took time to chat during drop off to make sure she knew all of Roxie’s quirks and needs. Would certainly hire her again!”
“Jeanette is absolutely amazing! My dog Friday has never stayed with anyone outside of family and we were really nervous. Jeanette made her part of the family for the weekend and had Friday feeling happy and comfortable immediately. I got updates with videos throughout the entire weekend, easing my mind and showing me what a good time she was having. Jeanette treated Friday like her own. It was a wonderful experience!”
