“Thao was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our two dogs, Freyja and Odin. From the very beginning, Thao was incredibly responsive and quick to reply to all of our questions before we even booked. Throughout their stay, she kept us constantly updated with lots of fantastic pictures, which gave us great peace of mind knowing they were happy and in good hands. We are especially grateful for how super flexible and accommodating Thao was with a couple of our last-minute changes of plans. It really helped reduce our travel stress! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Thao will definitely be our go-to sitter for all our future trips. We highly recommend her!”

Naomi and Johann helped to board Coco twice in a row. After 6 days Coco was excited to see me for a min when I picked her up but back to her old self right after and that’s exactly what you’d want - just like she only just took a walk with friends in the park. I’d be happy to bring her back next time!
Colleen met with my dog at our house first and was attentive to my instructions for our dog during our conversations. She will take your pet’s needs seriously and was genuinely caring about animals. Although we had to change our pet sitting plans, I can say that Colleen offers a variety of nice options for your pet sitting needs. It’s nice to have that flexibility with a pet sitter.
We had the absolute best experience with Mia’s sitter. She was simply amazing, sending us regular pictures and updates, giving Mia a bath, making sure she was well fed, and treating her with so much care and attention. Mia clearly loved her home and her four-day mommy, and we felt completely at ease the entire time.
When my pet sitting arrangements fell through a few days before my 1-week vacation, I turned to Rover and found Janett D. She was ranked as a super sitter, had a background check, numerous repeat customers, and lived close to me. She was able to take my anxiety dog and my cat on short notice. I was very relieved to be able to keep my two pets together to comfort each other. Throughout our trip, Janett sent me updates, photos and videos. When I picked the animals up, they seemed stress-free, happy and healthy. I highly recommend Janett, but selfishly, I hope she'll still have room for my fur babies in the future! ;-)
I left my 2 dogs with Jin and Antai for over 2 weeks and I felt very comfortable with the care my dogs received. Their home is great for pets-a very nice fenced in back yard, a beautiful home and a doggy door! Jin and Antai seemed very happy to have them stay and when I picked the dogs up, I could tell that they were very well cared for. I will definitely ask them to look after my dogs again.
