Ksenia took great care of Lola while we were out of town! We were new to Rover and a bit anxious about the process but Ksenia made the process smooth and comfortable. We are grateful for the care and attention she gave Lola, so much so that we have already rebooked for another stay soon. Thanks again, Ksenia!

Katie was a great sitter. She frequently updated and let me know how my dog was. He seemed every happy at her place. Her dog is always very friendly and got along just fine with mine. Thanks again :)

Beata was a wonderful host for Molly! We were so happy with she and her husband, who absolutely adore dogs and went over and beyond to provide the best stay for our Molly. Will not hesitate to ask Beata to keep Molly for us any time we travel. Our highest recommendation.

Nathan (Uncle Nate) was a god send for us. We had been using very reputable doggie hotels. Our boy always came back sick and stressed. Uncle Nate was a home away from home. We had so many pictures sent to us where he was happy, healthy, and relaxed. Dog park next door is a great asset too! I think Winston had more fun with Nate than at home. We will be rebooking in the future.

Chad and his wife were amazing. He was super communicative and sent lots of fun videos and pictures. He was truly excited to watch my dogs and it showed in the care he gave them. He was super flexible too, I accidentally booked the stay for one less day than I needed and he was more than happy to book the extra day with me. I’ll use Chad again for sure!

This was Sheila’s first-time watching Zoey, and it was such a great experience! She replied quickly to all of my messages and sent me picture updates which gave me peace of mind while traveling. During my trip, my flight ended up getting delayed, and Sheila kindly cared for Zoey longer than expected without any hesitation. I’m so grateful for how well she took care of Zoey and would absolutely trust her to watch her again in the future.

Mia has been wonderful. She is reliable, kind, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she works with. Her communication is excellent; she keeps us updated, responds quickly, and sends thoughtful notes, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We also really appreciate the level of care she provides. She is attentive to our dog’s needs, patient, and responsible, and it’s clear our dog feels comfortable and happy with her. Mia goes above and beyond by being punctual, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in making sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and positive. We’re very grateful to have found her.

Fortino was amazing! My dog is pretty high energy and I could tell he was having a great time. Fortino sent regular updates and he took my dog on lots of fun excursions with his own dog. He was very communicative and I could tell he paid close attention to details of my dog’s comfort, personality, etc. He even gave my dog a sweater that previously belonged to his dog but was too small, which was very sweet. Will definitely board with him again.

Diana and Scott were the perfect match for Kimi - who absolutely had a blast for the two weeks we were away. I was able to enjoy our trip knowing she was so well cared for, like Kimi was their own. Everyday updates, videos and photos made our extended absence manageable, and I will absolutely be booking them for future needs. You can be assured your fur babies will be in amazing hands. I’m so grateful.

Samantha is awesome!! Hazel clearly loved her stay with Samantha (and of course, her sweet pup Rosie). Samantha provided multiple updates (and very cute photos), and I felt very comfortable leaving Hazel at someone else's place overnight for the first time. She's great with dogs, very flexible, and knows how to handle high-energy dogs. Will definitely be booking with Samantha again, and I know Hazel will be excited to go back and spend time with her new friends!

Finley was in the best possible hands 🐾 We can’t recommend Alex highly enough. Leaving our miniature dachshund for an extended trip is never easy — Finley has some specific needs, including a strict weight-management diet and a serious poultry allergy — and Alex handled every detail with care, attention, and genuine love. From the start, Alex took the time to understand her routine and dietary restrictions, followed everything to the letter, and kept us updated with photos and messages that put our minds completely at ease. We could tell Finley wasn’t just being looked after — she was being doted on. We came home to a happy, healthy, relaxed pup who clearly felt safe and loved the entire time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly caring to watch your dog, Alex is it. We’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤️

Allison took excellent care of our dog for a long multi-week stay. Allison responded quickly to our query for the booking which we were anxious to arrange as this was going to be a long trip. She sent us daily updates with many photos so we knew our dog was in good hands and doing well. Our dog enjoyed her stay and wasn't anxious at all for her drop-off and pick-up. We'll definitely use Allison again and can strongly recommend her to others.
