“Lyn was amazing and so accommodating! Lucy had a fabulous stay with her. She also administered her daily medicine and provide updates, e.g., videos and pictures, about Lucy’s stay. That was a big plus. Thank you, Lyn!”

“Susan went above and beyond to take of my poodle! She sent daily updates with photos which I appreciated alot! She had a great backyard for him to play in with her dog, and he came back happy as can be! I will defiantly be using Susan again and would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable sitter! Thank you Susan!”

“Can’t begin to explain how amazing Liz and the rest of her family were with my two boys ❤️. I knew as soon as we met the boys were going to love her. Liz is very cheerful, loving and attentive. She did an amazing job at keeping me up to date and most importantly making sure my boys felt at home and safe. I received daily pictures which included dj and beans taking car rides, walks, sleeping and just hanging with the family. If you love your furry companions as much as I do, book with Liz, you won’t be disappointed ❤️”

“The best experience I have ever had with a sitter! Christina was extremely flexible and communicative! She provided photos of our pup having the best time all weekend and frankly our dog was less than impressed with us when we picked her up. Will definitely be booking her again.”

“Wonderful dog sitting. I feel so comfortable leaving Stella with Rebecca and her family. Stella is always well cared for and all directions are followed. Rebecca sends lots of pics as well, which I love. My dog is always happy here. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. We have booked her ore than once due to her great service.”

“Hanna was so understanding and sweet. There were several hiccups on my end that caused me to need her to watch Tilly an additional night and she was very accommodating. She sent tons of photos and videos, more than any sitter I’ve ever used before, and it looks like Tilly had a fantastic time! I was an anxious mess from the very beginning but Hanna eased my worries with her calm and kind responses to all my concerns. We will definitely be back!”

“Tuna had another wonderful stay with Betsy and her family! You can tell he got lots of love and attention, and they were very flexible with our unexpected travel delays.”

“Victoria took great care of my dog, Kamani, for a couple nights. She was super communicative and sent lots of pictures. My dog warmed up to her right away, she has such a calm and happy energy. It’s clear they both had a great time together! I will happily have Kamani board with Victoria again.”

“Lorena and Jahn were very good to my dog. They sent me lots of pictures of him everyday. It made me feel better because I’ve never done this before. They were awsome. I definitely would recommend them. They are really nice people.”

“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Linda! From the moment I met, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. My furry baby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time I was away. Linda provided just enough regular updates and photos showing how cared for my baby was. It’s such a relief to know my baby was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”

“Sophia and her husband were great watching our Golden Irish 3 year old 105lb baby! She provided constant pictures and updates to make us feel relaxed during our weekend getaway.”

“Barbara was incredible - she was easy to coordinate and communicate with, sent plenty of photos and updates throughout his stay, and gave him lots of care and affection.”

“Sunisa was very attentive and caring. She maintained daily communications and sent lots of pictures showing how comfortable Timmy was in her care.”

“"I cannot recommend Patrick enough as a dog sitter. From the moment we confirmed our reservation with him, I knew we were in good hands. As a first-time user of Rover, I had my fair share of concerns, but Patrick quickly alleviated them with his professionalism and attentiveness. While my son was primarily looking after our dog during our vacation, he had to leave for a work trip before our return. Patrick's location was a blessing in disguise, as it was incredibly convenient for my son to drop off our beloved nine-year-old Portuguese water dog, Kismet, on his way to the airport. Upon our arrival back home, we were able to pick up Kismet directly on our route home with the help of an Uber, thanks to Patrick's thoughtful planning. Throughout the entire process, Patrick was accommodating, reassuring, and truly went above and beyond to ensure Kismet's well-being and our peace of mind. It was evident that Kismet was well cared for and content in Patrick's care. Without a doubt, I will not hesitate to entrust Patrick with Kismet's care again in the future. His dedication, reliability, and genuine love for animals make him a standout dog sitter, and I am grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring individual to look after our furry family member. Thank you, Patric, for your exceptional service and for providing us with peace of mind during our time away."”

“Zwany and Leandro always go above and beyond when caring for our dog, Rocky aka Oreo! When watching him over Christmas, they sent an adorable picture of him wearing a Santa hat and videos of him playing in the snow. They treat or dog like their own, and it means the world to my partner and I! We are so lucky to have found them for our fur babies!!”

“Kaitlyn was incredible! Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!”

“nathan was so great with gouda i had complete peace of mind while gouda was staying with him - he really cares about the pups he watches and wants them to feel comfortable and will do all in his power to make that happen! I’m super happy with his service and will definitely rebook!”

Rebecca was extremely attentive, organized, and professional with our pup, Lua. She asked great questions about Lua’s routine and did a great job with confirming dates and times for meet and greats, pick ups, and drop offs and checked in with us multiple times about scheduling to make sure everything was organized for Lua’s stay. She also sent several updates and pictures through the day, which we appreciated. Lua often will not eat when her routine changes, but she ate every meal while staying with Rebecca! It was a true testament to how comfortable Rebecca made Lua feel. We were relieved to know that Lua was feeling comfortable while we were away. I would recommend Rebecca as a pet sitter in a heart beat and hope Lua can stay with her next time we are out of town. Thank you SO much for your help, Rebecca!

Rebecca and her lovely family took care of my father’s dog during an emergency medical situation. She went above and beyond providing amazing care and love to my dad’s dog and I never had to worry about his care during this stressful time. I cannot recommend Rebecca more highly! Mo the dog had a wonderful stay and even picked up some better house manners along the way thanks to her 😊 Thank you Rebecca and family!

Maria Luiza & Mac were so great with our one year old golden retriever pup! Maria sent multiple updates with photos each day and you could just tell they loved our dog as if he was their own. They were also so flexible with drop off and pick up. We’ll definitely use them again!

Anneta provided exceptional care for my dog, Walter. She is a reliable and genuinely caring pet sitter who followed all his routines perfectly. Her regular updates and obvious affection put me completely at ease. I highly recommend her to any pet owner. Walter is a senior dog and had a lot of extra needs! Diapers and medications!! Thank you!!

Ryan was a great sitter for our dog Josey. She was quick to respond, answered our questions thoroughly, and met us on a cold day so Josey could meet her dog Cedar before boarding. Both Ryan and Cedar put Josey at ease right away. Ryan sent plenty of photos showing Josey playing outside and relaxing inside. When I picked her up Josey was in great spirits and seemed like she could have stayed longer. I highly recommend Ryan for boarding.
