“Great dog sitters for my anxious little dog. They sent updates and photos daily. My dog was more comfortable the second time around. I will be booking you again in the future! Thank you.”


“My husband and I needed a sitter short notice and Rich came to the rescue. We needed someone to board our 1 year old crazy Samoyed pup and Rich welcomed him into his home with open arms. He sent us photos and videos while we were away and you could tell our pup just had the best time playing. Thank you for being so accommodating and caring. We are excited to have found a sitter close to home we can trust while we are away and look forward to taking him back next time!”


“Our older cat is afraid of her shadow and keeps her distance from people she doesn’t know. Audrey was patient and gentle with her. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I like that she works from home so your pet is not left alone very often. And her adorable and very friendly kitten is happy to be a playmate or can be kept separate if needed. Give Audrey a try. You won’t be disappointed.”



“I can always trust Victoria with my dogs. She’s knowledgable, caring, and makes sure they’re happy and healthy during their stay. She also provides updates every day, making me feel at ease whenever I have to part with the pups. She even did a birthday celebration for my dog Partner! Above and beyond.”


“Amy was amazing! I have a senior Shiba Inu who is 17 and Amy was so good with him! She was very patient with him and offered updates and pictures throughout the day. This was my first time having someone dog sit for me and she eased all of my anxiety about it. I would highly recommend her!”


“Christine was so great w/ floof. He can be an anxious boy and she went out of her way to do lots of small things to make his stay as stress free as possible, working to accommodate him and what he needed to feel at home. She sent regular updates and pics, he came home a happy boy :) We'd love to use her again for future vacations”


“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”



“Kathleen took such good care of our puppy, we joked that she might not want to come home! She took our puppy on daily walks, always made sure she was comfortable and was a really great communicator. We received pictures and videos daily of our dog’s activities, which we loved. Thank you, Kathleen. Highly recommend.”


“Sierra was great with Hyde! Hyde is very high energy and can be temperamental with other dogs, which doesn’t always make him and easy dog to sit. However, I was completely comfortable with Sierra watching Hyde, as she was very communicative when needed and sent photos of him during the sitting. I will definitely be booking again when in need.”


“Ashley and Nicholas were great. Between the numerous photos and updates it was very apparent that Rosie got lots of wonderful walks and was very much at home at their house! We are using them again already next month.”


“Our experience and care with Vidhi was wonderful from start to finish. We were leaving for vacation and our original sitter plans fell through less than a week before leaving. Thankfully, Vidhi was available and promptly responded to the request. She was so accommodating to our schedule and a few changes that popped up. Furthermore, she made sure to make Mira feel comfortable and at ease in her home. Frequent walks, play time, and lots of pictures made us feel comfortable while we were away! Will definitely keep Vidhi in mind for future sitter needs.”


“1st time using the app for our fur baby and Tessa was amazing! 1st off our pup doesn’t really take to strangers quickly but we were so impressed during the meet n greet and how well he reacted to her. While we were on our trip, we loved the check ins and photos she sent us! I truly feel like he had a good time and that Tessa put time into watching him (which is why we choose Rover vs. boarding). We will be booking with Tessa again!”


“Nelia and her precious family take dog sitting to a very high level! Always will be my first choice for future bookings! Hershey was treated like part of her family with lots of love, attention and exercise. Nelia sent frequent updates with great photos of him with her children, outside in the backyard, and on neighborhood walks. It was my longest time away from him. It was hard for me, but Nelia made it so much easier knowing how well he was being cared for. Nelia followed my instructions exactly and was very flexible with last minute changes with my work schedule and needing to drop him off a day earlier. Flexible with drop off time also. She invited me to stop over for a meet and greet before the first drop off after our first phone call. You learn a lot from meet and greets and I highly recommend them for everyone! Meet Nelia and her family and you will agree that she is a great choice!”


“Adam was great with our dog boone!! You can tell he has a lot of experience with dogs. He Kept us updated daily and sent lots of pics (very cute ones ! ) Boone loves to be outside and Adam took him on so many good walks, visited the dog park , and they even got a pup cup! We will definitely be rebooking in the future”



“Amy has always taken good care of our Doji girl (Black Labrador Retriever). Amy is very accomodating for both drop off and pick up times, which is a plus. Amy has also been very helpful on numerous last minute bookings, due to our jobs, which have us traveling a lot. Thanks as always, Marcel & Doris.”



“We would like to give Ali 10 stars! She was the best possible caregiver for our nervous goofy dog. She sent dear photos and videos during our trip, and it was so sweet to hear how she spoke to Lucky. On top of all of the expert care, she was extremely gracious and flexible when I made a mistake with the booking dates. We feel so fortunate to have found Ali.”


“Emily and Patrick were very kind and flexible with us when my boyfriend and I needed a dog sitter for a wedding. We were late picking her up and they were very understanding. Our dog and Eli must have had a blast together, because slept the entire next day! We will be using them again in the future!!”
