Dez is our go to dog sitter on Rover! He takes great care of our anxious pup and has worked with us to make her as calm and comfortable as possible during her stay. This was the longest we've ever left our dog and it was such a comfort to know she was in great hands. He also administered some meds for her and gave me updates on her condition along the way. Dez is the best!

So, I know she was awesome because I was waiting for my puppies/babies to be super excited and uncontrollable when they saw me and NOPE they were cool calm and collected because they really liked Jan. They felt at home with her and not sure what she did, but they are definitely more chill. I will only use Jan going forward if she'll have us because she's also reasonable price wise.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of hiring Emily to take care of Mel, my beloved dog, while I was away. From the initial meet-and-greet to the daily updates during my trip, I was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention provided. Emily took the time to understand Mel's routine, preferences, and any quirks that might need special attention. It was evident that they genuinely love dogs and have a strong understanding of their needs. Every day, I received updates and photos that put my mind at ease, showcasing how happy and comfortable my pup was in their care. Not only did Emily provide regular meals and exercise, but they also engaged in fun activities and even took Mel on walks to the river walk. I could tell that my dog was getting plenty of love and attention, which is so important when you're away from home. Upon my return, Mel seemed relaxed and happy, which reassured me that I made the right choice by entrusting Emily with their care. I highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter. They exceeded my expectations and truly treated Mel as if they were their own. I will definitely be reaching out for future sitting needs! Thank you, Emily, for your outstanding service!

Ruben WILL treat your pup(s) as his own. He is so genuine with his love and care for dogs. He is very communicative; he sends pictures and videos random, and as you ask. He dog sat my two dogs, a boy and a girl for three days. On day one I kept bothering him asking how my dogs were doing. And from the pictures and videos he provided I was able to see my dogs enjoyed being with him. So the next two days I left him alone because I was able to see my dogs felt his love! And that’s very important to me. Go with Ruben. Pick Ruben to watch over your dogs. Our pups feed off of our pawrent energies and Ruben can provide the same for your dogchild/ren.

She was very easy to get in touch with and sent me updates and pictures frequently. Arlo clearly loved his stay because he was SO tired when he got home. Thank you!

Leslie went above and beyond to make sure my baby Canelito felt safe and comfortable which made me so relieved. As soon as my fur baby met her his tail started wagging :) Leslie was attentive to his needs and provided timely updates that gave me a peace of mind. My first time using this app and booking a service, I would definitely recommend leaving your fur babies under Leslie’s care, such a sweet, caring, and kind sitter! Will be booking again in the near future :)

Barbara is fantastic. She has watched my 8-year old Shih Tzu for a weekend and then 10 days. Both times Barbara was responsive, easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and was understanding when my flight was cancelled! My dog loved staying with Barbara. She has a nice yard, takes them for walks, and even has a wide variety of toys for the dogs to play with. My dog also lost an eye and takes eye medication. Barbara had no trouble giving him the medication and also made sure his face was clean (not easy with Shih Tzus but important)! She is my go to dog sitter and a pleasure to work with!!
