“Merin was AMAZING!! I really felt Moose was being well taken care of and left me with such peace of mind while on vacation. She was super thorough, gave constant updates, and reached out with any questions/concerns. Hands down we found our go to sitter which is the best feeling knowing I have someone to trust to take care of Moose when I need a little R&R! Thank you!!”
“Farrah had another fantastic stay at Ian and Clementina’s! They shared numerous updates, photos, and videos during her multi day stay at their apartment, and came back super happy!!”
“Took great care of StarFox! I know my dog enjoyed his stay and I appreciate all the time spent with him playing and walking. My dog had a prior injury and he got the best care and attention possible, even a visit to the vet, medical instructions, everything was taken care of. My dog was taken care of like he was family! My dog is a clever fox, so he can be a handful sometimes. Fantastic job and would definitely book again when I’m out of town. Great photos too and updates!”
“Tallin was a truly wonderful dogsitter! I've left my dog with very few sitters before, so I was a bit anxious about leaving him with a stranger, but Tallin put me right at ease with twice-daily updates and lots of photos. I will absolutely try to book with her again next time I need a sitter!”
“Always a pleasure with Michael, very good communicator, great attention to detail, no issues with him giving medicine or walking our dog who is leash reactive and can be tough to walk. Thanks again, Michael!”
“Renzo took great care of my little Xina while I was away. This was the first time I left my dog for an extended period of time and Renzo made me feel at ease from the moment I dropped her off in his care. He sent tons of photos and videos daily and I knew my pup was sad to leave his care. I think she loved him more than me! I will definitely be using Renzo's services again.”
“Loved having Anastasiia watch my cat, Dimsum. She was great with updates and letting me know how our cat was doing during the stay. Thank you again for everything!”
“Michael is simply the greatest dog boarder in the history of the world. When you book through Michael, though, you don't just get him, you also get his amazing wife, too. Michael took care of my dog Lucas during a medical emergency. I was at work at the hospital after midnight. We were terribly low-staffed. There was no one to take over my patients. If I'd left work, I probably would have lost my license and been fired for abandonment. Michael took my dog to an emergency 24 hour vet and didn't get back home until like 2 in the morning. The care he took of my dog went above and beyond. He is awesome, he is amazing, he is smart and capable and caring, I cannot say enough good things about him. You can trust your fur babies with Michael. With him and his wife, they are in amazing hands. It's always scary entrusting your canine children to a stranger, but with Michael you realize that he's not a stranger, he's the family member you didn't know you had. Thank you Michael!!!”
“Kylie was super patient with my dog who is extremely anxious in new environments with new people. Really appreciate her taking the time to understand how to make him feel more comfortable.”
“Kecia is an incredible dog-sitter! She is highly dependable and friendly. I appreciate how she makes sure to keep me updated on how my dog is doing Highly recommend!”
“Adam was great! It was the first time we were away from our puppy over night and we were very nervous. He took great care of her and sent us videos everyday! Will definitely use him again:)”
“Sabrina is incredible and took special care of my dog. She keeps in constant contact with photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Sabrina again. 10/10 fully recommend her!”
“Starry & Gio were very easy to communicate with (very responsive) and kept me updated on everything. They are great caretakers and my dog was very happy being with them. Thank you!”
“Deibi and Tiffany took wonderful care of my two dogs over a long weekend. I received detailed updates, photos, and videos everyday. Tiffany was super responsive and she’s so kind! My dogs didn’t want to leave!!!”
“Anky took wonderful care of our dog while we were away for a week. She gave him lots of attention and exercise, and sent us lots of pictures and videos of him. We 100% trust her with our dog and are so grateful to have found her!!”
“Meiqi is great! Very communicative and shares updates throughout the day. It gives me a peace of mind knowing that my pup is safe and having fun every time she’s there.”
“Ayush was very attentive and sweet! My dog absolutely loved being with him and was comfortable from the first moment they met. Would definitely rebook and recommend!”
“John is great with my tiny poodle! My girl Eva has anxiety and I know she must be crying for me pretty badly at first.. since she annoys my own family when I leave. When she comes back home after a stay at John’s she is literally so much more relaxed 😌 He communicates with a daily update that brightens our day. Thank you John for the care!”
“Chandni did an incredible job looking after my puppy, Bear, and went above and beyond for him during his stay!! She texted me several updates and pictures throughout the stay and made sure Bear felt right at home from the start! It was clear that Bear was in great hands, and I would highly recommend Chandni to anyone looking for care for their fur babies!!”

Janet and Spencer took wonderful care of Rosa for a week while I was out of town. They are so sweet, caring and responsible and I had such peace of mind knowing Rosa was in good hands. They sent me photos and updates while I was away, and are easy to communicate with. I will definitely use them again in the future!
Jessica did an amazing job looking after our 4-month old puppy! She’s a dog lover with a very sweet older doggy herself, who kept our puppy company. She sent us lots of updates, and was also very accommodating when we got back later than we’d expected. We’d highly recommend her to look after your pet!
Val was fantastic! Was very focused on making sure she gave our anxious Aussie Shepard the best care. Asked intelligent questions during the meet and greet, and made sure to send pictures and a check in text every day. Our pup isn’t great meeting new people, but she made sure Kaia was comfortable and gave her plenty of love. Would definitely use again!
I had a wonderful experience with Elaine taking care of my dog, Milo, for 4 days. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She was very attentive, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and messages she sent, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see how happy and comfortable Milo was while I was away. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them as if they were her own. Milo came home happy, well cared for, and relaxed, which is always the best sign. I would absolutely trust her to watch Milo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and caring dog sitter.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received. From the moment we left, we had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and capable hands. They went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay
This was Nimbus’ second time with Angelina and she watched him for two weeks. He ended up being sick while with her and she was absolutely wonderful and so patient with him. She even cooked for him almost the entire time to help his tummy problems. She sent so many photos and updates every day, and I could tell Nimbus was extremely well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pup Gomi this week! Vera was very caring and attentive to Gomi’s needs. Communication was fantastic — frequent photos and videos gave us comfort knowing he was in great hands, and she kept us updated on everything from his eating to his bathroom habits. Gomi came home happy and relaxed, and we’d happily consider booking with her again. Highly recommend!
Christina is amazing! I can’t decide if she loves my dog more or he loves her more. We are so comfortable leaving him with her and know he’s getting the best care but also incredible love and attention. Kody has stayed with Christina twice and we will definitely use her again!
