“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Robert and his family to watch over my dog Simba, and I couldn't be more delighted with the care and attention he received. From start to finish, this dog sitting experience was nothing short of exceptional. Throughout my dog's stay, I received regular updates with photos from, which put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was in great hands. I could see from the pictures that my dog was enjoying himself during his stay. In addition to his exceptional care, Robert is an excellent communicator, and was always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a dog sitter. He provided a loving and safe environment for my dog, and I will not hesitate to book Rover services again in the future with him. Thank you so much Robert, for taking such wonderful care of Simba and making him feel at home.”

“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”

She administered his medication three times daily and let us know each time she did. Her photos and videos were so cute and very high quality. We can tell our cat was happy and loved. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely hire her again the next time we need boarding! Don’t hesitate to book with her 🐾”

“Paul was an excellent host/sitter for my 13 year old Jack Russell. He spent time with me and Benny upon drop off. I instantly sensed his expertise and comfort with her. I was at ease leaving her with him. Paul understood my concerns for my dog while in his care. I liked his confidence and handling Benny during this meet and greet on this first 24 hour stay. Paul sent a couple of texts and a pic of how things were going and I appreciated his matter of fact information sharing. I was totally pleased with this first experience of leaving Benny with an unfamiliar person and home. Couldn’t have gone better for all involved. Definitely will try for Paul for any future needs and I highly recommend Paul to others.”

I really appreciate their care for our dog.”

Yu responded to messages promptly and was very accommodating. I am looking forward to using her services in the future.”
