“Excellent communication! We did a video call before I dropped my dog off and he answered all my questions and assured me my dog would be OK.

9. Sujata & Sachindra M.
“Sujata has this incredible knack for connecting with dogs. I've seen them in action, and it's like they speak the same language. They understand all those little quirks and needs. One thing I really admire about Sujata and her family is their commitment to making sure every pup is happy, healthy, and having a blast. They're super responsible and attentive, so you know your dog is in safe hands. Plus, they're amazing at keeping dogs engaged with fun games and activities. Boredom? Not on their watch! They're always up-to-date on the best practices for dog care, so you can relax knowing your pooch is being looked after by someone who's not just loving and fun but also really knows their stuff. In short, if you want a sitter who's going to treat your dog like royalty and ensure they have a tail-wagging good time, Sujata and her family is your go-to on Rover. Highly recommend them for anyone who wants peace of mind and a happy, well-cared-for dog!”

“John and Jess are great pet sitters. They had Teton (my 4-year-old husky) over their house while I was away for a week vacation. My husband and I were able to relax the time we were away from our furry kid because we knew John and Jess would take care of Teton with the same love and attention they give to their own pets. I had a great experience with them. Definitely recommend their work and would leave Teton with them again!”

17. Paul R.
“My dog is highly overprotective and does not take to strangers easily. However, the very first time I introduced him to Paul, he completely fell in love. He went right up to him and licked him and it was live from there. I never have to worry when I go on business trips about leaving my precious pup with him. He is always well cared for.”
