“Anne took great care of our dog Ruby! She was very attentive and patient with our girl. She sent us photos and checkins during her stay. We are so happy to have found such a caring sitter and will absolutely use her again!”
“Nirvana did great watching our dog for the weekend! She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating. We would definitely book with her again. Thanks!”
“Kira and her family welcomed our dog, Sylvie, over the Thanksgiving holiday. It was clear Sylvie was having a great time and was well cared for during her visit— Kira was responsive and shared updates throughout the day. Sylvie was sad to leave her new playmates and we will definitely reach out to Kira the next time we need dog sitting help! Thank you!”
“11/10! First time using Rover and it could not have been a better experience. Tory has the perfect setup for taking care of dogs with plenty of indoor space and a private outdoor terrace that's like a private playground for the dogs. Was very easy to communicate with her and coordinate drop off/pick up. Will definitely look for her again next time I need a dog sitter!”
“David is absolutely wonderful! This was the first time David watched Harley and it was for almost two weeks. Not a day went by that I didn’t receive several updates with lots of pictures of Harley about town. David took such great care of Harley and really helped ease any separation anxiety I had. I highly, highly recommend David - he’s incredible!!”
“Could not have asked for a better sitting experience for our 8 year old Tina! Kecia was kind, communicative, and clearly cares about all the animals she watches. We met up a few days ahead so our dogs could meet and everything was totally seamless - we felt completely confident and comfortable out of town knowing Tina was with Kecia. Will absolutely rebook and recommend to others!”
“Ellana took good care of our dog Doakes. She asked lots of questions ahead of time to learn about his habits, and she always got back to us quickly when we asked how he was doing. We would work with Ellana again in the future.”
“Eva & Tyler were excellent! They made sure our girls were well cared for and loved on while we were away in another state. They gave us a good amount of updates and pictures as well! They followed instructions and also were very caring about all of our requests. They were so wonderful with our girls - we would definitely love to have them take care of our girls again! Thank you kindly for everything!”
“Tank absolutely LOVED his stay with Angie! He came back so calm and happy. We always get worried leaving our Frenchie with anyone but as soon as I met Angie, I knew she would be a great fit. She taught Tank tricks, took him on lots of walks, gave him cuddles, and sent many pictures to help us get through his absence! It helps knowing next time we are out of town, that Angie will be here taking care of our little boy! 🥰 Thanks so much!!”
“Maria and Michael are the best! The duo watched our beloved Frenchie for a long weekend and took great care of her--lots of snuggles, long walks and treats. Maria was super communicative and easy to partner with. Highly recommend!”
“Lika and Alister were great! They treated my pup like their own while I was out of town and sent me pictures multiple times a day. My puppy looked so happy and loved! Will definitely use them again soon”
“Marissa was great! She was very loving and attentive to my Rikki, and he spent a lot of time snuggling up with her -- his favorite activity! Thank you!!!!”
“Danielle and Andres are wonderful with our dog Hank. We just left him with them for 9 days. Hank was happy to see us but I think a little disappointed he had to leave. I would highly recommend Danielle and Andres.”
“Andrew and Ellen are the best, not only were they accommodating to my pick up and drop off schedule but they were so communicative and sent daily updates that ensured me my dog was in great hands. Having mango there was also a HUGE WIN.”
“Ikea is a Very Good Sitter, she took her time with my dog, and deciphered what his best qualities are opposed to his issues. She is like a Boarding specialist and trainer all in one please don’t miss your dogs experience and Book Now. 🥰🥰🥰”
“Matt was fantastic with my dog Tako. She took to him instantly, which she rarely does, and I felt comfortable with him right away as well. Easy communication, easy drop-off and pick-up - would absolutely recommend!”
“Amy did so well with my little anxious chihuahua! She consistently sent photos and I know she did everything she could to make my old gal comfortable. I’d use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Tina was FANTASTIC with my pup for 4 nights and put my separation anxiety at ease with tons of pictures and videos every day! I will absolutely book with her again!”
“Melissa was great watching our mutt, Tulip. She dog sat twice for us. The first was just for a few hours. The second was twelve hours. Both occasions were seamless. Tulip seemed happy and calm about both stays. She normally suffers from separation anxiety but if she was going through it she was much calmer than usual. Melissa was always prompt and responsive to all my inquiries. She also was very articulate about Tulip’s behavior while with her. I will definitely seek Melissa out again when Tulip needs a sitter.”
“So great! Freya is a nervous girl and they helped her feel comfortable in their space. I also forgot some of her things on the subway?♀️ and they were well stocked with dog supplies and more than happy to help out! Would book again.”
