“My dog had the time of his life! I know my dog hopes we go on more vacations so he can spend time at Charmaine's. I had total peace of mind knowing my dog was with such a lovely family. We loved that Charmaine sends us daily photos, and that my dog could be around humans + dogs all day, even at night (and not in a crate). Charmaine and family took such great care of my dog, thank you!”


“I have been using Rover for years now, and I can confidently say that Maiko is the BEST Rover dog sitter I've ever had and I will try every time to secure a stay with her for my mini bernedoodle, Trixie, in the future. Maiko only sits for one dog at a time, is a dog lover and former dog owner herself (who sadly lost her own pup about a year ago), a near-professional photographer who sent us the best photos of Trixie we have ever had(!), and her two young children adored and were so good with Trixie as well. Maiko is superb all-around, with communicating (asked us of her own volition how Trixie handled fireworks, as she watched Trixie over 7/4 holiday), with caring (Trixie so obviously grew so fond of Maiko and her family, with photos of her nestling against them all!). Trixie came home to us in great spirits, relaxed and happy, which has not been our experience often in the past with Rovers who watch multiple dogs at a time. Maiko is the BEST!”


“Kathryn and Mark were awesome taking care of my Ruka. Very communicative and sent great pictures. Kathryn went above and beyond with my girl and I'm so thankful for them! Would board with them anytime!”


“Sarah and Andrew were phenomenal puppy sitters. It was the first time Elmer was away from me and they did a great job making sure all his needs were met and giving him all the love and attention he could ever want. They were thoughtful in sending me pictures, updates, and any questions they had. We’ll definitely be using them again!! ❤️🐶”


“Nathan and his wife did a great job taking care of our pups. Lots of pictures and updates over the weekend. They even accommodated when our flight was an hour delayed coming in to pick up our boys. Would recommend to anyone looking for pet sitting and I will use him again in the future!!”


“Karen and her partner took excellent care of our Maisey Mae! Maisey had a great stay cation with lots of snuggles and play time. We were sent lots of pictures so we had the peace of mind our fur baby was having a great time. Would definitely book again !”


“Izzy had a fabulous stay with Nabina! We received great updates, photos and videos and knew Izzy was getting attentive and loving care, plus so much playtime with Kona! Highly recommend!!”


“My dog Hobbes had a great time staying with Cecilia! She took him on daily walks along with her two corgis, including a trip to the dog park, and she was great at providing regular photo updates during Hobbes’ stay. I would definitely use her again!”



“Kay did a terrific job taking care of our dog. She was warm, reliable, and trustworthy with our pet in a way that gave us comfort that he was going to be well taken care of. I have no reservations about using Kay again or recommending her to others.”



“Daisy has been so lucky to get to spend her vacations with Elle. She seems to have a blast there. Elle is always doing something fun with the pups and Daisy is SO happy to see her each time she goes.”


“Vanessa was wonderful with Uno. I got a lot of photos and updates throughout his stay with her. That puts me at ease. It also helps that Uno has other pups to play with. I think he had a fun time with Vanessa and her family.”



“Cathleen took excellent care of our dog. Pictures and updates multiple times a day. Excellent fast easy communication. Cathleen was also so helpful and flexible when our flight was delayed. Will use again!!”


“Rachel P took such great care of our dog! We were away for just over a week and it was such peace of mind getting pics every day. We could see our dog was well loved and having a great time. I’m definitely keeping her info for next time.”


“Natalia was great! We left our 1.5 year old husky with her for a week. It was her first time away from us and we were a little anxious. We shouldn't have been concerned, she had an awesome and active time with Natalia and the other guest dogs. We got lots of updates and pictures of her time!”
