1. Na P.

“Na was amazing in taking care of my rescue dog who is generally very nervous and shy around strangers. She took the time to let him get to know her and gave him plenty of space to play and took him on many walks. The communication throughout was also top notch, I got so many pictures and updates, which made me feel at ease that he is happy and safe with her. At the end of the stay my dog was so comfortable that he wanted to go back into her house! Which says a lot! I’m sure both my dog and I will be happy to go back.”


2. Jessica F.


“Humo and Butters (Jessica’s dog) got along like two peas in a pod. Humo had a great time, he got lot’s of love and attention. I highly recommend!”


3. Alison & David L.


“Alison and David welcomed my puppy and made him feel at home. They were easy-going, dog-loving, cheerful people. After we had our meet-and-greet, I felt very comfortable leaving my Cavalier spaniel with them, it was like leaving him with a relative! Jules also enjoyed their huge fenced in yard and deck. While I was away, he was happily on his own vacation.”


4. Megan & Nick M.

“Megan and Nick were phenomenal! Lola felt right at home with their family and Bubba, their dog. They were responsive and sent my partner and I daily photo updates of our girl. I was afraid Lola wouldn’t want to leave come pick up because she was oh so loved and entertained during her stay with them. We found our trusted sitter family!”


5. Jessica P.

7. Cristiana M.

“Cristiana and her family were awesome. I was very nervous about leaving Cherokee with someone other than a family member but this went better than I could’ve hoped. Cristiana is a great communicator and gave us frequent updates on Cherokee. It was very clear that Cherokee was well taken care of while we were away.”

“Elsa was a perfect fit for our puppy June. She was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. She was incredibly prepared for June and all of her puppy needs. We would definitely book with Elsa again in the future.”


11. Diana & Harish E.

“If I could I would give Diana and Harish more stars. I first booked them for a whole week but decided- last minute -to book them for a night to get our dog use to their place and they accommodated us right away. The meet and great was great, they showed us their place and our dog loved their backyard, it has plenty of space for his favorite game: fetch 🎾 They are friendly and profesional. They sent pictures, videos and updates. We will keep booking with them! Thank you 🫶🏼”


12. Stacia J.

“First time using rover or ever leaving Cue with anyone for any amount of time. I reached out to Stacia before even making a full profile. She responded right away and scheduled a meet and greet. As soon as we walked in She was welcoming. Cue was a little overwhelmed at first because it was his first time but he warmed up within 10 mins and seemed happy. The house is super clean and smells good so we were sold right away. We left cue for 4 days with Stacia. She updated us about how he was doing and sent pics ?. I was very nervous about leaving him because he has an extremly sensitive stomach and loves to put stuff in his mouth he shouldn't so he has to be watched carefully. Stacia did a wonderful job making sure he was safe. She responds to texts extremely fast which gave me reassurance while away that he was ok. When we came to pick him up he was sitting with Stacia and didn't even get up to greet us lol we are confident he had a great time and was well taken care of. We will be leaving him a few times in daycare and when we travel. I am so happy we found Stacia ❤️ she is wonderful.”


13. Shaun S.


“Our dog quickly fell in love with Shaun and his family! Amazing communication and a really warm and happy home. We’d gladly book with him again!”




14. 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!”




15. Vanessa C.

“Vanessa is the best! She really goes beyond expectations. Zak loves her family and is always so happy when he comes home. I really feel very comfortable leaving Zak with her. She keeps me posted with pictures and videos. We love Vanessa! In addition she was very concerned about his ears showing us that she is on top of any medical issues. Lastly, she has a beautiful fenced in yard for the dogs to play. Dagi and Mike”

Would definitely book with Isabel again.”
