1. Karin H.
“Our dog George has stayed with Karin several times and it's worked out wonderfully! Karin is really thoughtful about the details around the hand-offs, and how to make her furry visitors feel comfortable and welcome in her home. Both times George has stayed with Karin he has come home a relaxed and happy guy which is always reassuring. We greatly appreciate the updates and photos that Karin sends and the outstanding communication overall. It has made any concern we had about leaving George behind disappear quickly.”

5. Alyson B.
“This was my first time using Rover and it was an amazing experience because of Aly. She communicated with us right from the start and set up a meet and greet where she asked questions about our puppy's routine, needs, and preferences. We were nervous immediately felt very comfortable leaving our brand new puppy with her. Aly sent daily updates and pictures throughout our vacation and we could tell our dog was comfortable and happy. Aly felt like an extension of the family right away and we I couldn't recommend her more. We will definitely look to have her watch our dog in the future.”

7. Sara P.
About: I've owned dogs and horses since I was born. My kids have been around animals for their entire lives. We love to walk our neighbors dog and play with him in our fenced in yard. I'll do the feeding/cleaning and my kids will take care of the fun and love. Your dog or cat will return to you having been loved on, walked, and very tired! I work nearby on Monday-Thursday. I usually work 1 weekend day per month. I leave by 7:45a, can return at lunch, and home by 4p. We have a fenced in yard and a pet-friendly home. However you think your pet will do best in our home, we will make it happen.

9. Robert A.

“Thank you so much Nally for taking care of my Leo! 😍 I just went on a business trip to Texas and had a last minute change with my other sitter and was in a bind. I was so stressed out because I wanted to find good care for my puppy. Nally literally came to my rescue. Everyday she sent me photos and videos of my babe and I can tell with her expertise and experience taking care of dogs that my puppy was in good hands. Couldn’t have found a better person to care for him. Thanks so much! Leo will love to go back to your care Nally! You’re the best ❤️😍”

18. Michael L.
“We are so grateful for the great care our dog, Mochi, received while we were overseas! From the moment we left him in their care, we felt reassured knowing he was in a loving and safe home. Mike provided timely updates, including photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel connected even from afar. Mochi looked so happy and well cared for, and it was clear he was treated like family. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caretaker. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our beloved Mochi!”

20. Sofia M.
“Sofia was great! From the moment we brought our puppy to meet her and see her home, to the moment when we picked him up, she was kind, professional, and caring. She has a great house for dogs, with lots of room for them to play, and she clearly cares about the dogs that are with her. Obviously our puppy was happy to have us home, but it was clear from the feedback and photos Sofia sent us while we were gone that our pup was having a great time and felt comfortable in Sofia's home. We're very grateful for the attentiveness and care that Sofia offered leading up to, and throughout our pup's stay with her.”
