Saori was such a great sitter for our pups (1 year old great pyrenees). She took them to the dog park in the morning for a couple of hours, helped continue our invisibile fence training, and sent us so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell how happy and comfortable our dogs were in her home and under her care. They came home so tired because they had so much fun with her and the other dogs!

Jennifer does such a good job taking care of our dog. We can have peace of mind while traveling, knowing that our dog is in good hands. She sends regular updates with photos and videos and is very professional. She is now our go-to sitter, and we recommend Jennifer 100%!

Took great care of both of my dogs. One can be a little complicated around other dogs, but Annemarie handled him with aplomb. I felt super confident in her skills and grateful for her kind attention to them. Will definitely use her again!!!!

First time using Rover for boarding overnight our two doggies. I honestly feel like we hit the lottery not the billion but certainly enough to keep us feeling secure and comfortable and relaxed when we went away over the weekend because when we got back our dogs were thrilled to see us but no rush to leave Rich’s house. Most definitely will be using rich going forward whenever we need to take care or boarding and he’s available

Rachael was helpful, communicative, trustworthy and responsive - she made the process a breeze and took great care of our dog. Everyday I was sent photos of her running, playing, exploring and having fun. Pepper even came back with sharpened training — I will be booking again and again!

Oscar stayed with Kristin for two weeks and he was well taken care of. This is the second time he’s been with Kristin so he was already familiar with everything. She also got Oscar a birthday toy and celebrated his birthday while I was away which I thought was very sweet. Very appreciative to have a family who Oscar feels comfortable with. Kristin was communicative throughout the long trip. Thanks again!

Bruce was amazing with our special needs dog. I knew it from meet and greet that Bruce and Carolyn were great people. Still I was nervous about leaving him at Bruce's because he is so attached to us. Bruce inquired about his daily routine and I knew he wanted to make Kodiak comfortable and happy. It put us at ease so much with the texts and photos shared. We have already booked again!

Hazard was extremely communicative! We received so many pictures and updates I never had to wonder what he was up to. He was welcomed into her home with open arms. He had lots of playmates and returned tired, happy, and well cared for. Will absolutely be reaching out again next time we have a need!

I am so happy to have found Clementina. She is lovely and warm and took such very good care of Ezzy. She has a huge backyard and a dogpark nearby and Ezzy got great exercise daily. She sent me lots of pics and was flexible and accommodating when I asked if Ezzy could stay a little longer than I had planned. Her daughter also was there and Ezzy kissed everyone goodbye when we left and wagged furiously. 5 stars.

Katie had the best, most nurturing and relaxing experience! When I picked Katie up I could tell she felt secure. Katie can have separation anxiety but she was handled perfectly (walks, pets, a nap). I received lots of pictures and texts so I was comfortable too.

First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!

Dew is the best of the best! From our first meet & greet to everything in between, Dew was responsive, flexible, and loved our pup as if he was her own. Our Bucky is quite the energetic pup and she went above and beyond to assure he was taken care of in just the right way. We can’t thank her more and will be booking with her again soon.
