“Dealt with some stomach issues for Rosie as if she were her own - we are so grateful to Heather and Alex for making Rosie feel right at home. She had an amazing time!”

“Excellent communication before, during, and after the visit. Most importantly, they clearly made my dog so comfortable and happy. The photos were adorable and they had everything it took to care for my sweet senior special needs girl.”

“Sam took great care of my dog, Neeli. She provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. This was Neeli's first time with any sitter, and she felt very comfortable at Sam's place. We would definitely use her services in the future.”

“Michael was amazing with our rottie! Because she has some leash reactivity, we met him beforehand so he could meet her and go for a short walk. You could tell immediately that he loves dogs and was very comfortable with them (especially big dogs). He sent updates and pics/vids while she was with him and we picked up a very happy and tired pup. We will definitely be using Michael again in the future! Thanks Michael!!”

“Mango can be shy in new places, but he warmed up to Mimi quickly and had a good time! Mimi made sure to send many updates and cute pictures throughout Mango’s stay. I would book with Paul and Mimi again!”

“Kevin was an excellent host for our husky-shepherd and took her in on a last minute boarding request. He was very accommodating to the dogs needs, took her out on multiple adventures to Golden Gate Park, fed medications on time and regularly sent pictures of the pup. He is a good communicator and has a welcoming home with another furry friend. Will definitely be using his services again 🙏🏽”

“Katie did a great job with Duke and he honestly kinda came back a different dog. Potty training has been easier ever since I got him back. Will definitely be requesting another day with her for Duke in the future. She was very good about keeping me updated with lots of pictures.”

“We loved our experience with Julian. My dog can be very anxious at a new setting. She settled in quite fast with Julian and ate well (which doesn’t always happen). Julian is very responsive and easy to communicate with. He sent me daily updates and my dog looked so relaxed and happy. I was so relieved to have him watch my dog and will definitely reach out to him in the future for dog sitting!”

“Having used Rover many times, I can confidently say that Alen is one of the best sitters I’ve worked with. He is very communicative and caring, and he took amazing care of my dog Raphael when I was traveling. I could tell Raphael was very happy and comfortable with Alen, and they got to do so many fun activities together. He really went above and beyond to care for Raphael and I am so grateful for his care.”

“Erica was so awesome and my Maxwell loved her immediately. She was flexible, super communicative, and it is clear that she loves loves loves animals. Maxwell was safe, comfortable and maybe a little spoiled (in a good way!) during his time with Erica. I felt at ease, and could focus on what I needed to do while awau because Erica was caring for my furbaby. She also lives near an awesome park which is another plus! Would definitely recommend her a million times over!”

“Oksana and her husband are such great sitters! I felt reassured that my dog was well taken care of while I was away. They are super responsive and send plenty of updates!”

“Pascal absolutely loved his stay and came home worn out from playing and snuggling! We got lots of updates and felt good knowing Pascal was in absolutely fantastic hands! 10/10 would recommend!!!”

“Madison was a great caretaker for our 8 month old puppy Charlie while we were gone for a weekend trip. She was very responsive and sent us plenty updates to put our minds at ease. We could tell Charlie had a great time, would book with Madison again!”

“Clara has been amazing! She is literally the best boarder I have ever left my dog with. She took very good care of my puppy and was very helpful with special care he required. She took care of him as her own. I would highly recommend trusting her!”
“Thanks for taking great care of Pluto! I appreciated your fast responses, many photos & daily updates. Thanks for making sure Pluto had plenty of walks & was well fed!”

“Ellen did a fantastic job watching our pup for the weekend. She sent updates and pictures throughout and was extremely responsive. Would absolutely recommend and trust Ellen!”

“My lil guy Bailey had a wonderful stay for 3 nights with Lei's family. He was well cared for and had lots of new friends to play with. Communication was excellent and received many daily cute pics and updates of him and gang. He went on many walks during the day and even had his teeth brushed on request. I was very pleased with the entire process and will not hesitate to have her watch him again. Thanks Lei!”

“This was Bobo's first visit with Allison, Gordon and Moses' and we are so glad we choose them. We are especially grateful that Allison and her family choose Bobo. I don't think anything could have gone any smoother with this Dogg Vacation. First, Allison is great with short notices. I had to leave the next day. I had messaged Allison if she could meet and greet, Allison had returned my message within the hour. We scheduled that day a great please to meet her and her wonderful dog Moses. Allison and Moses were so kind and sweet. Second, Allison's house is divine for dogs. The house has a fully fenced in front and back yard with 6 foot high fences. The back yard has tons of shade/sun and has lots of grass to run in. The house is located in a lovely neighborhood with little to no traffic, which is great for walks. Third, Allison had sent us tons of pictures of Bobo. Bobo is a 12 year old dog so he likes lots of naps, playing fetch, swimming, walking and other dogs. So we got pictures of Bobo napping inside, napping with other doggie friends, playing with his new friends, fetching, and napping outside. Allison's family was great to Bobo, we think he has had so much fun and would love to spend more time with them. I would definitely recommend Allison. Bobo and I would love to have Allison and her family watch him soon. Allison's house is filled with so much happiness and love.”

Jill was amazing!! She took very good care of Frankie. She gave consistent daily or more updates and pictures of Frankie. Jill treated Frankie with great care that we were able to enjoy our vacation without reservations and concerns. We highly recommend Jill for exceptional care. Looking forward to having care for Frankie again 😍

We rebooked a stay with Kayla for our beloved Chloe because we knew she would be in caring, experienced hands. Chloe was on palliative care and, due to extenuating circumstances, we couldn’t be with her for a few days. Kayla was generously willing to watch over Chloe, give her all her medications, keep in close communication with us, and provide the attention and snuggles we so wish we could. We would book again with Kayla in a heartbeat.

We had a great experience leaving our aussie Piper with Maite and her partner. They were reliable, communicative, and attentive towards Piper and her needs. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and relaxed when we got back. We would absolutely book with Maite again and highly recommend boarding with them!

Laura did an excellent job watching my dog Lyla while I was traveling for two weeks. She sent regular updates on Lyla’s day, which gave me piece of mind while I was away. She also responds very quickly and is super detail oriented. We’d happily noon with her again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kira took care of our two dogs as if they were truly her own. She was incredibly detailed and thorough, sending us daily evening updates that covered what the dogs did throughout the day, how they behaved, what they enjoyed, and what they ate. She also provided photos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs played fetch, went on walks, and received endless cuddles from Kira and her husband. They were genuinely treated like part of her family, and we are so grateful for the exceptional care they received. On top of that, Kira even worked on some light training to help smooth out one of our dog’s excitement and anxiety related behaviors, which was above and beyond anything we expected. My partner and I felt completely comfortable leaving our pups with her and were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing they were in such loving hands. When we picked them up, they were incredibly happy and honestly seemed a little sad to say goodbye to Kira and her family. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. A true 5-star experience and absolutely the cream of the crop on Rover! 🐾

Jennifer kept my pup safe from the scary fireworks over New Years :-) Ava my dog is super social, so I was really happy to leave her with Jennifer's big dog-loving family. Jennifer was communicative and attentive to Ava's need and personality. Thanks very much Jennifer!

We had a wonderful experience with this sitter! They were attentive, responsible, and truly cared about our dog as if he were their own. Communication was great throughout the stay, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness, patience, and genuine love they showed. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.
