“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!!”

“Ian and Clementina were great with Tripp, from taking him to the dog park to letting him join all their errands. I really appreciated the prompt communication and daily photo updates — Tripp was comfortable and rolling over for belly rubs almost instantly with them!”

“Kecia did a great job of taking care Minnie! I appreciate everything she did to make her feel comfortable. She took her on walks, had a nice outdoor space for her, and had a sweet dog that Minnie loved to play with. She also gave her plenty of treats! Thanks for taking good care of her!”


“My dog, Mia, stayed with Minako while I was away. Mia came home happy & healthy. Minako sent me several photos during Mia’s stay & it was apparent that she was having a great time. I highly recommend Minako as a dog sitter & dog walker.”

“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”

“Zipper had such a great time with Renzo, I think he was sad to come home! We can just tell he felt safe and at home and Renzo was regularly updating us with pics and updates. Great communication. His apartment (and the art on the walls) is warm, clean and welcoming. We'll definitely be using him again!”

“She was really nice and great! She took care of my cat with love and good care. I got a lot of pictures daily and even videos. Definitely I’ll choose her for the next time as well.”

“Sabrina was amazing with magnolia! I’ve had unfavorable Rover experiences in the past so planned ahead and did a meet and greet. I could tell instantly how warm and genuine she is- she even read up on the notes before that meeting. I felt super comfortable heading into our weekend away. During the weekend she gave several updates and was generous with photos/ videos all descriptive of magnolias characteristics. I knew Magnolia loved her stay with Sabrina when I picked her up and she kept looking back for her to walk away with us! I will absolutely book with her again whenever she’s free!”

“Thank you for watching my little buddy during my trip. Updated me with pictures, gave Jesse his medicine, took him for walks and played with him. Couldn't ask for more!”

“Another great stay with Michael. He is so caring and our fur baby always has a good time despite his separation anxiety. Bonus is that Paneer is now good friends with Bread! Thank you Michael!”

“Grace was great with Bentley. I had a last minute request and I was so thankful she could help watch my pup. I got updates the entire time and felt so good with having a busy day”


“My dog has never been so happy to see a stranger! She immediately connected with Teraesa who provided videos and pics of Jazzy throughout her stay, showing how much fun she was having. I would definitely book again! Thanks Teraesa for taking care of my princess!”

“Sherry and Walter looked after our little puppy Figo for a night, and were fantastic sitters! They played with him, made him feel very comfortable with lots of snuggles, took him on a lovely walk and sent us lots of updates throughout. We’d recommend them highly!”

“I’ve asked Vera to look after Haru a couple of times, and she treated him with the same love and care as if he were part of her own family. Thanks to her, I was able to travel with complete peace of mind. I’d love to ask for her help again next time, and if anyone nearby is looking for a dog sitter, I highly recommend her.”

“She was so amazing with my cat, Sage and provided outstanding communications and photos. Sage loved her stay and came back happy and healthy!”

“Starry and Gio were excellent communicators and flexible with a flight delay! They sent frequent updates about our dog and we knew she was well taken care of! highly recommend”

“Anky was the best pet sitter I have ever used! She was so communicative and friendly and easy to work with. I know Georgia was so happy with her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”

“This was our third time leaving Tank with Angie, and it’s safe to say she’s one of his favorite humans. The second he sees her, he lights up and completely forgets about us, which honestly, we love. 🥹 Angie always sends the sweetest photos and videos while we’re away, and it’s so comforting to know he’s not just being cared for, but genuinely thriving. She’s thoughtful, warm, and always makes sure Tank has the best time. Every time we pick him up, he’s recharged, relaxed, and glowing with happiness. Couldn’t ask for more. 💖”

“We booked with Sanaz for a long weekend and Ivy adored her! She sent us daily updates and took Ivy on lots of walks. Ivy gets very anxious when we go anywhere without her, and Sanaz was very understanding of her separation anxiety and made her as comfortable as possible. She also was flexible with timing of drop offs and pick ups which was much appreciated!! Thank you so much! (:”

The minuet we met Patrice you could feel her warm and beautiful energy. Our dog Gatsby immediately trusted her and it made leaving him much easier. We received daily images and messages and could enjoy our holiday knowing our little one was in safe nourishing hands. Could not recommend Patrice more !!

Leaving your dog with someone is ultimately an act of trust. Caren made that trust easy. She is warm, attentive, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Freud with her and beautiful Theo again. I would wholeheartedly recommend Caren to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog as if they were her own. Thank you, Caren. Freud has already asked when he’s coming back, he woofs you 🐾

Christopher and his family were wonderful sitters. He was very communicative, sent photos, and kept us up to date on how our pups were doing. I was very glad to know the pups were doing well while I was away. I highly recommend booking with Christopher and I definitely will again!

Nicole was incredible with our two dogs (an energetic italian greyhound and an anxious dachshound). I had never used Rover so i thought my dogs would be nervous, however, they seemed so happy and calm with Nicole. She sent pictures often and they were always cuddled up with her. I would 1000% recommend her to any of my friends with dogs. She’s trustworthy and so sweet with the pups. Thanks Nicole!!!!

Ziggy had a great time with Luca! We received adorable photos of our little guy while we were away which were incredibly reassuring (and lovely to see our pup living his best life). Luca clearly is great with dogs and we are so glad to have found such a caring home (in our neighborhood) for our schnauzer!!
