1. Tyler S.
“Tyler was awesome! My dog Ozzy stayed with him for the weekend and was so well cared for. He also sent daily updates which I loved getting. I will certainly have Tyler watch Oz again!”
2. Anthony C.
“I wish I could give six stars. Anthony is friendly and kind to both humans and dogs: he kept us updated on our dog's stay with regular photos and texts and provided a great environment where our dog could play and have fun. As a bonus, Anthony was understanding and kind when we got stuck in terrible post-holiday traffic and couldn't make our pickup time. I trust Anthony with my dog completely and will certainly book with him again.”
3. Rebecca Y.
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
4. Gabrielle F.
“Highly recommend! Will be returning for more care. She took amazing care of my dog who is actually a guide dog 🦮 her and her boyfriend did a great job of tiring him out so he was happy and tired when he returned to me :) so I could relax. I have a very energetic dog and really appreciated how much fun he had. she is great at staying in communication and flexible and understanding of dog needs”
5. Zwany & Leandro C.
“Zwany and Leandro took absolutely fantastic care of our two dogs Cooper and Maddie! They provided us with daily updates and lots of great photos to show how great the two pups were doing. We also received really nice report cards with a summary of their stay and wonderful Polaroid photos of each pup which are now on our fridge. We will for sure be booking with them for future pet sitting!”
6. Alexandra & Kayomars B.
“Alexandra and Kayi are a lovely couple and great sitters. They were really easy to communicate with and we're flexible with my schedule. I received consistent daily updates with photos from them and from what I can tell, my pup Sesame loved hanging out with them as well. Will definitely be booking with them again when possible!”
7. Nalix T.
“Nalix communicated well and sent daily pictures and videos while watching my pup. He seemed to enjoy himself and he was able to make a couple of new friends.”
8. Irina C.
“Irina was an excellent sitter for my dog Brisket. She was in tune with her initial anxiety of boarding with someone new and let her settle in at her own pace. By the 3rd of day of photo updates, Brisket was more than willing to be requesting her morning belly rubs. Even with the coldest few days we've had, Irina made sure Brisket got her exercise and did everything she needed to make it a great experience. Thanks Irina!”
9. Alan & Ying C.
“Pretzel had a great time at Alan's! We received lots of photo and video updates during his stay. Pickup and drop off were a breeze. Looking forward to our next booking with Alan for our next trip!”
10. Jin C.
“Jin and his wife were so kind! My dog came home calm and relaxed. He had such a good time! He’s older and often gets anxious when away from us but felt right at home with them 😁. They are the sweetest! I would absolutely recommend.”
11. Victoria B.
“Victoria is amazing! Super communicative and caring, she sent lots of pictures and Bagel was clearly having a great time. We will definitely use her again!”
12. Adriana P.
“I highly recommend Adriana for dog sitting/boarding! Adriana was proactive about understanding our dog's schedule and needs (as he is prone to seizures) and provided regular updates throughout our dog's stay with her. We really appreciated all of the photos she shared so that we could be reassured that he was comfortable and well taken care of. She was very responsive before the booking and throughout. We would love to have our dog stay with Adriana again in the future!”
13. Gil O.
“Beyond satisfied with how well my big, strong boy Dex was taken cared of while I was out of the states for over a week! He can be a lot of work, I tend to worry about him even when leaving him with my sister when I have work. However, there was a sense of peace of mind since dropping Dex off, and constant reassurance with daily picture updates! Would definitely rebook again if needed. Thank you so much for being so good with Dex!”
14. Louisa R.
“Louisa was wonderful with our Ziggy! In advance of the stay, she offered to do a meet and greet which was really helpful. And then when she watched Ziggy, she was very responsive and sent pictures and updates, which included comments that were very understanding of our puppy and her personality. She took great care of Ziggy and we will make sure to work with Louisa again.”
15. Laura S.
“I am so glad that I booked Laura on Rover. I want to leave a great review, but I also don't want you to steal her from me as a dogsitter! Laura was extremely responsive, wanted to do everything by the book and ended up being an excellent fit. She sent lots of updates, but I was able to be on vacation and not worry about my dog while away, thanks to her. I would HIGHLY recommend her and hope to use her again soon.”
16. Chloe M.
“Chloe was amazing taking care of Carina for 10 days. Carina was able to run free in her backyard and Chloe gave regular updates on her well being. Chloe was easy to communicate with and we would have her take care of Carina any day in the future! I can highly recommend her to other dog parents!”
17. Kayla B.
“Kayla was absolutely wonderful and my little man loved staying with her for boarding. She fit me in last minute and was a lifesaver!! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
18. Jo & Adam C.
“Jo and Adam took great care of my 2.5 year old cavapoo. Sent photos each day with updates and I felt like she was in good hands while I was out of town for 3 nights.”
19. Lindsay P.
“Lindsay took such great care of Barney! She was extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided updates throughout the stay! Would highly recommend!”
20. Dayna C.
“Dayna and Paul were the best sitters! We’re always anxious about leaving our dog Dino with new people, but Dayna sent us so many updates and pictures that we never worried about him. He clearly had a great time hanging out with them and their dogs, Louie and Pumpkin, and it was so nice to see how Dino was welcomed into their family during his stay! He came home happy, healthy, and pooped—and we know he’ll be excited to go back next time, which makes it so much easier to leave him!”
