“Gabriel is a wonderful guy, it is obvious how caring he is with the dogs. The videos were wonderful seeing our furry family member while away. I will definitely use Gabriel for my next need of Doggy Care”

“Meli was a great sitter! She’s very friendly and attentive. She also has great communication and gave us plenty of updates. I can tell our puppy had a great time while staying with her 😊”

“Briana was awesome! She clearly loves animals and has had a lot of experience taking care of them. She put me quickly at ease with taking care of our doggo. We loved receiving pictures of her while we were away. Briana would also reach out with a question, as needed, which we welcomed. She took great care of our sweet doggo! We highly recommend her for any pet sitting!”

“Jennifer took such good care of Archie and his special medical needs. He did not seem stressed at all. She sent me updates multiple times daily. I would highly recommend her.”


“Kira and her family are fantastic. They took excellent care of our Berner Winnie and sent lots of updates and photos. Winnie could not have been more comfortable, well cared for and loved. It truly puts our family at ease knowing that Winnie is so well looked after and welcomed. We love Kira's large fenced in yard and that it gives Winnie plenty of room to play with other dogs and chase her favorite soccer ball. We hope and plan to be long standing, repeat customers with Kira!!”

“Bridget was great! We appreciated the updates and photos while we were away—they gave us complete confidence that Willow was in excellent hands. Bridget was a prompt and clear communicator, and her attentiveness to our dog’s needs was genuinely appreciated. We would be delighted to work with her again!”

“Michael was an absolute lifesaver for our senior pup, Winnie! He went above and beyond, sending daily photos that showed her happily exploring new sniffs. His genuine love for animals truly shines through, and we knew Winnie was in the best hands possible. Thanks to Michael, we returned home to a relaxed and content pup, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone searching for a caring”
“We were so happy with Melissa and Axel. They took great care of our dog, sent us pictures and updates and their kids gave our dog all the love. We will definitely be rebooking.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Vignesh from the start. He took excellent care of Olive and was very attentive to her needs. When Olive had an upset tummy, prepared boiled chicken and rice for her, which we really appreciated. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Olive was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely recommend him and would be happy to have Olive stay with him again in the future.”

“We have used Hugo & Julia several times and have always been satisfied with their care of our dog Beau. They send updates and pictures during his stay with them. They are excellent!”

“Rhadika is amazing! She is wonderful with our black lab who has a few medical issues. Rhadika was very open to her medicine schedule. Our dog seemed so comfortable and happy with Rhadika! She provides pictures and updates. Can’t wait to use her again!!!”

“Loren is awesome! Our Tina had a great time staying at her house, getting outside for a fun outing, chilling inside, and enjoying her time watching all that goes on outside the window. Loren was super responsive from the very beginning, set up a meet and greet, and was great getting to know Tina. During the visit she shared pics and we knew the entire time Tina was in excellent hands. Highly recommend Loren!”

“The dogs seemed to enjoy Michael’s house for their first visit, which was four days. He sent lots of pictures and videos making sure to keep us updated with everything going on. Our dogs have very different personalities and one is young and one quite old. They did very well and it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for in such a good home setting. They are our family members too and this is so important to us. We would definitely recommend Michael to anyone.”

“Aline was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated throughout the entire time. We really appreciated all the photos she sent—they showed how happy and comfortable Coco was. She paid attention to every detail and made sure our baby was safe and happy the whole time. Coco had such a great time with her! I will definitely book Aline again in the future. Thank you so much, Aline!”

“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”

“Julie watched our dog Winnie for a week while we were in Ohio, and she was absolutely great. She was very personable, kept us updated the whole time on how Winnie was doing, and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. I was a little worried because Winnie can be a lot to handle sometimes, but Julie did amazing with her and Winnie clearly loved her. We would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

“Tamara and her entire family were EXCELLENT with Cooper!!! Cooper received A+ care while we were away! We have found our sitter and Cooper has found his home away from home. We thank you so very much!”

Chelsea goes above and beyond with our Lumos. He loves staying with her and is well cared for and loved. We don't worry at all when we are on vacation and Lumos is with Chelsea. We love receiving photos of him every day. Highly recommend Chelsea (and her pup, Paisley!)

Melissa is wonderful! We liked her so much that we rebooked with her within a week of picking up our Charlie after a 3 week stay. Charlie had just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, so we were a little reticent to leave him. Melissa was nothing short of a dog whisperer! She knew just what to do! She sent photos every day, which really put us at ease. Don’t hesitate to leave your fur baby with Melissa! She’s the best!!

Hannah is fantastic! Our dog is anxious around strangers and new dogs, and this was the first time using Rover. Hannah did a great job at easing our minds and sent us a lot of pictures of Loena enjoying herself. I highly recommend her and if needed we will bring Loena again to Hannah!
