Great experience with Takako and Eric! Our dog didn’t want to leave! They really took care of him, and return him to us in great conditions. They also sent daily photo updates. There are some great shots! Highly recommended 👍

As always, Kimberly is such a pleasure and always takes the absolute best care of our senior pug, Abbey. It’s such a comfort knowing she’s in great hands while we’re away. Kimberly picked up and dropped off our dog this time, which was SO helpful and convenient!!

Michael and his wife have been so great to my giant puppy! Even took him on a little road trip! Michael was very attentive to my pups random quirks and was always quick to respond to my messages. Michael and his wife have taken wonderful care of my puppers and I will continue to use them as a great boarding resource!

I had a wonderful experience with Alana and her husband as pet sitters for my dog, Terry. They were incredibly attentive and caring throughout the entire stay. I received daily updates and photos, and they paid close attention to all the small details to ensure Terry felt comfortable, especially with his eating and sleeping routines. What truly stood out was Terry’s reaction when I came to pick him up. He was happy and relaxed, and—something he had never done with previous sitters—he went back to Alana and her husband to say goodbye with a smile and a kiss. It was clear he felt safe and well cared for. I highly recommend Alana and her husband to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate pet care, and I would not hesitate to leave Terry with them again in the future.

Ehda took wonderful care of my dog, Snowy, over the Christmas and New Year break. She has such a warm and kind personality, which immediately put me at ease. Snowy was clearly very well cared for and happy during his stay. Her apartment was also extremely clean and well maintained, reflecting the high level of care she provides. This will definitely be my go-to place for Snowy during future vacations, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter.

I can't thank Mayank and family enough for the amazing care they provided for my dog during our week away! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear she was in great hands. The entire family went above and beyond, spending so much personal time playing, cuddling, and keeping her entertained. They really treated her like part of the family, and I could tell she felt right at home. It gave us such peace of mind knowing that she was being looked after with so much love and attention. On top of that, they sent so many pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel even more at ease and connected to her. I highly recommend Mayank to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place for their furry friends. We will definitely be back! Thank you again for making our dog's stay so wonderful!

Angie was an angel. Our rambunctious Sheepadoodle pups (siblings) could not have landed a better place for dog care during our month long trip. It was their first time being away that long, so we were nervous on how they'd do, but Angie was a life-saver! She has years of experience caring for dogs and truly an expert. Angie's care, and even training, resulted in better behaved dogs once they came home. Their time on her ranch was like a trip to paradise for two active pups - they got to run around free and even get the opportunity to do some herding (it's in their blood!). It's very obviously a passion, not a job for Angie. Her love of dogs and expert care were a real gift.

This sitter was amazing with my Husky. I have never left her with anyone aside from family because she needs to be watched constantly and she has horrible separation anxiety. My dog immediately took to her when introduced. I was nervous leaving her there, but immediately got photos showing me Bella was OK. She checked in throughout the day. And when I picked Bella up, my dog was excited to see me, but she wasn’t the anxiety riddled full of stress she would normally be after being left. I cannot have asked for more.

Brooke is our go-to puppy sitter. I always look forward to her photos/videos. It’s like a professional photographer is capturing my pup’s best moments! And my puppy always comes back to us super happy - like she’s stayed with a family member who loves her. You can really tell Brooke loves animals, I fully trust her with my dog!

This was both my first time boarding my pup & my first time using Rover - I couldn’t have gotten luckier than finding May & Marc! They made drop-off and pick-up as easy as could be, even with my return flight being delayed. They sent daily updates & pictures of Goose enjoying himself and getting exercise. May & Marc allowed me to focus on my work while away without having to stress over how my boy was doing. I can only hope I get the chance to book with them again for my next trip.

Christy and her family were fantastic and took great care of our pups. They sent photos and videos every day and were mindful of their quirks and feeding instructions. It’s always anxiety-inducing to leave your dogs with a new sitter, but Christy made us feel at ease with her confidence and care. We would highly recommend her, and we will definitely be bringing our dogs back next time we go on a trip.

We can definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter.

Yelena took great care of my frenchie, Kylo. He has intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) so he needs special care and daily meds. Yelena took the time to do a meet and greet with us to make sure that Kylo was comfortable with her. What I appreciated about Yelena was that she asked questions, was interested in Kylo’s needs due to his back problems and personality quirks. She helped me feel at ease that he was in good hands. When I picked him up from her place, he was resting comfortably in his bed. He was well taken care of. I would use Yelena again.

Pavla was wonderful with our pup who usually has separation anxiety with dog sitters. She kept him for several days while we were out of town and made him feel at home right away! Pavla's teenage son and daughter were also at home to play and cuddle with our pup, so he got lots of love and attention. Pavla was great with communication, sending messages and photos so we knew our dog was happy and feeling loved. When we picked up our pup, he was healthy and happy and obviously had a great stay with Pavla! We highly recommend her and would be eager to use her again when we go out of town. Thank you Pavla!!
