“Whitney was so understanding and flexible when a large snowstorm impacted travel extending my pet’s stay. Her wonderful care for my pup means so much and let me concentrate on getting home safely. Thank you!”

“Su took such good care of my sweet girl!! His home is a lovely space and is very welcoming for a visitor. He sent detailed updates with photos so I always knew my pup was doing great. He really seemed to care about her happiness and well-being! I am so grateful! I hope to use his services again!”

“Eric was great! I was taking care of my nephew's dog and had to find him a place to board at the last minute due to a death in the family. My travel plans kept changing and Eric kindly accomodated the situation. He also sent daily photos which helps to assure your dog is being well cared for. I highly recommend Eric.”

“Tomoe and her entire family were amazing, and my dog quickly adopted them as his second family! Tomoe loves dogs and totally understands how important a caring dog sitter needs to be. She kept me aprised of my dog Muskies daily routine, with daily written descriptions and photos and videos. She cared for my dog for 10 days and treated him as her own, following all my instructions to the letter. I have used two other sitters(not from Rover but though recommendations) and neither even came close to the care and bond that my dog received with Tomoe. She played with him, took him for walks and to the dog park where my dog could meet and play with other dogs . In addition to her care, the rest of her family were also fantastic and played with my dog until he was played out! She is highly educated in the ways of dogdom, and truly has a passion for her work as a dog sitter. If I could give her 10 stars I would....I only hope she has availability the next time I need her services since once you have experienced the best there is no going anywhere else!”

“Sarah and her family went above and beyond durin our senior dog’s recent stay. From daily walks and snuggles to administering medication and a special diet, Sarah made us feel comfortable leaving our pup. We so appreciated the daily videos and pictures and the opportunity to meet with Sarah beforehand. And it was no problem when she had to refill one of our dogs medications. Truly heroic! Thank you, thank you, for everything! Buddy loved his stay with you!”

“Alyson was amaze balls. I got daily updates she alerted me to anything she deemed out of the ordinary with Tuna. He loves Alyson and her Daughter! Would recommend wholeheartedly”

“Holly was wonderful! Milo had a great stay with Holly and her family, and loved the company of her adorable doodle River. She sent daily photos and was very easy to communicate with. I felt at ease knowing that Milo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much Jamie and cannot wait to book you again. Jamie sent pictures and updates everyday. Reyna loved spending time with Jamie’s daughter and sleeping in her bed. So cute! Thank you”

“Jing was an absolutely ideal sitter for our very active Vizsla pup. She sent adorable photos keeping us updated throughout the stay, and we could tell that she took such great care of her. We will definitely be asking her to watch our Korra again. Thank you so much Jing!”

“Kayla took amazing care of our pup, Pepper, over the Thanksgiving holiday. We could tell that Pep became a part of the family quickly and was loved. We also received lots of photo updates and we could tell Pep was living her best life with her new doggy pack. We are very grateful that Pep was well loved and cared for during the holiday!”

“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”

“Julie was a fabulous sitter for our girl Ruby while we were away. We got updates, pictures and appreciate that Ruby was getting lots of love and attention. Ruby greatly enjoyed her “vacation” with Julie and we would definitely book with her again.”
“Thank you Barbara and Jenn for taking great care of Bonnie. We knew she was safe and having fun while we were away and are very thankful to have had that peace of mind!”

“Yick-hong was FANTASTIC with Fiona! From the start, he was very communicative and thorough with the intake before the actual boarding. While Fiona stayed with Yick-hong, we could see that she was very comfortable and happy from her body language. He took great care of her, took her on scenic walks, played with her, pampered her - and even taught her new tricks! We are very happy that Fiona made a new friend, and would happily leave her with Yick-hong again. Fantastic sitter and companion”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”

Su did an incredible job with watching Sydney while I was overseas for a week! He sent daily updates about how she was doing and plenty of pictures too. He took her for multiple walks a day, kept her on a consistent routine, and spent a lot of quality time with her outside in the back yard. Syd looked so relaxed and calm every day of her stay, I could tell she felt safe and happy with Su. Would book again with him in a heartbeat!
