E.K. was a miracle send. I was in a pinch where my original sitter cancelled last minute (days before I had to leave on a two week trip); all the while I was going through some family issues, and finding a back up for boarding my baby was so stressful. E.K. stepped in to help when needed, and all was as smooth as I could’ve hoped for. She even helped transport him. Definitely took a weight off of my shoulders and very glad I found her. Would definitely use her again.

Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!

Katrina did an excellent job caring for my dog Boo! This was my first time using this site as well as letting anyone outside of friends and family keep him and Katrina made this experience as calm and easy going as possible. She is extremely detailed with care and patient with animals which really stuck out for me and made me comfortable. I also really loved the updates and photo's she provided throughout the day while Boo was in her care. He looked so happy and well kept. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone and will be using her again :)

We have a 14 year old dog who’s regular sitter could not commit to our 3 week Australia trip so I was nervous to find someone new for an older dog. Cheyanne is amazing, she has experience with older dogs and special needs, my dog was so happy with her and even found a “boyfriend” during her long stay. I did not hesitate to book her again for another long trip, our baby ran out of food but Cheyanne went to the store to buy her more “fresh pet” and even gave her a bath! Our dog loves being a high rise dog and Cheyanne spoils her just like we do.

Mia has been wonderful. She is reliable, kind, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she works with. Her communication is excellent; she keeps us updated, responds quickly, and sends thoughtful notes, which gives us a lot of peace of mind. We also really appreciate the level of care she provides. She is attentive to our dog’s needs, patient, and responsible, and it’s clear our dog feels comfortable and happy with her. Mia goes above and beyond by being punctual, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in making sure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and positive. We’re very grateful to have found her.

Anni took such amazing care of Bear on very short notice, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and kept me updated throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bear wasn’t feeling his best when I dropped him off, and somehow he came back happy, comfortable, and healed from whatever he had going on that week. It was clear he was loved and well cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend Anni to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pet. Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my little Bear! 🐻❤️

As a first-time Rover user, I'll admit I was a little hesitant to leave Ace with someone new — but Jane completely put those worries to rest. She was incredible with him from the start, keeping me updated with tons of photos and plenty of communication throughout. Ace got long walks and trips to the dog park, so I knew he was getting the interaction and exercise he needed. I couldn't have asked for a better first experience, and I'll absolutely be booking with Jane again!
