“Mila is a great fit for our dog Ramona, who is a companion dog and loves to be with people but is a bit afraid of other dogs. Mila sends updates and pictures throughout the stay and we feel confident that Ramona is well cared for while we are away. This was Ramona's second stay with Mila and we already have another booking with her. We love Mila!”
“Nautica was an excellent host for my busy little boy. She kept them an extra day because we've been having brownouts in my neighborhood. She even dropped him off and picked him up. I knew he was going to be spoiled rotten after enjoying a long weekend with the backyard. I will be using her again”
“She is awesome !! My dog Bingo stayed for a week && he was loved every bit of it !! I got him back full of joy and excited to see me. I will be rebooking in the future !! Thank you again !!”
“Diana took the best care of Rupert! I felt so at ease when he was in her care. She was fantastic at communicating and shared several pictures of our boy while he stayed with her. He seemed right at home.”
“We could not have asked for better sitters than Brittanie, Ryan and their family! They cared for Sarge like he has been a part of their family for years. We received lots of photos of Sarge while we were away and it was obvious that he was having a great time! We will certainly be reaching using Brittanie and Ryan again to care for Sarge while we are away!”
“Rodney was great! He really came through for me in a last minute emergency and made me feel safe about leaving my girls with them. I will definitely use them if I have to leave my babies again. I can't thank you guys enough for taking care of my girls!”
“Jessica was awesome. She took great care of my baby Paris. She kept in contact with this nervous dog mom and made me feel at ease. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Our experience was great. Blue was very comfortable, this was his 1st time being with a sitter and I would leave him with Erika again. I was probably more anxious than he was but Erika sent me pics to reassure me that he was settling in nicely.”
“Steven is the “dog master”. Okay that is actually how I have him listed in my phone book! He often has several dogs on busy weekends but it is clear that they all get plenty of attention. Most importantly, Steven reads dogs very well, he thinks and “speaks dog”..He is just very tuned in -it is a rare talent. My dog Jake has spent numerous weekends with Steven and comes back happy, healthy and secure. And anytime I drive him over to Steven’s neighborhood, he gets so excited. Clearly there is good stuff going on here! (Never an issue of any sort except that Steven is popular with dog owners, so reserve early…)”
“Ariel was great with Milo and kept me updated since I’m nervous with leaving my fur baby for long periods of time. But she assured me Milo was ok and sent me cute pictures. Milo and I will definitely use her again!”
“So kind, responded promptly, and gave great updates with pictures while Nika was staying with them. My return flight got canceled and when I asked if Nika could stay with them another night, they were so kind and accommodating. I felt a lot less stress knowing my girl was in good hands.”
“Foxy had a great stay and I am so grateful for the care he received during this longer stay. Ken, Tyler, and family gave him needed boundaries and socialization--I hope he can stay with them again to keep growing into the less anxious soul he can be :). I looked forward to receiving photos every day and knew Foxy was in excellent hands. THANK YOU!”
“Kimberly is the best, she took such great care of my Neco. She cared for him for 6 days through the Thanksgiving Holiday. She sent me great pictures and videos of him daily. She is a true dog lover. I will definitely be booking her again to care for my dog.”
“Amazing sitter for my German Shepherd! I can’t say enough good things about Shakiyla! She watched my German Shepherd, Bucky, for 4 days and took such amazing care of him. Bucky can be a handful with his high energy and anxiety, but she handled him so well. At the last minute, we also asked if she could watch my mom’s dog, Kandi (a Husky/Shepherd mix), and she was more than willing. She cared for Kandi just as wonderfully, making sure her needs were met too. What really impressed me was her communication—she even put me, my mom, and my husband in a group chat so we all stayed updated. That way, if she couldn’t reach one of us, she could easily contact someone else. She went above and beyond by sending daily videos and pictures, which really put me at ease while I was away. On top of that, she shared some really helpful suggestions for Bucky that showed she genuinely cared about his well-being. I am so grateful to have found her, and I plan to book with her every time I need someone to look after Bucky. She’s the best!”
“I booked with Victoria for a quick overnight while I was traveling from Virginia to Pennsylvania, and she was so kind and flexible—especially when I needed to pick my dogs up late that same evening instead of the next morning. I really appreciated her working with my schedule! She was very sweet, and her home was lovely—clean, welcoming, and clearly a great environment for dogs. I felt comfortable leaving my pups with her, and she listened closely to the care instructions I shared. I’d definitely book with her again. She was warm, communicative when needed, and made the whole process easy.”
“I wanted to let anyone that really wants a person to take care of their child (dog) like it is their own Davida is the one to call. I'm very protective of my little baby and very particular about who takes care of her. She is 8 months and only weighs 4 pounds and she is a beautiful little Maltese. She is energetic and loves to play all day long. She loves to get plenty of attention. All of that was to tell you that she gets all of that from Davida and her family. She loves them and they love her. She gets excited every time we open up the gate to go to the door. When I pick her up and we go home she sleeps good from playing all day. She goes every week to Davida's and she loves it. Last week she had the runs and Davida gave her a full bath with hyper allergenic shampoo with oatmeal in it and she came home clean and smelling like I just took her to a groomer. She could have just cleaned off the areas that were dirty but she gave her the works and I really appreciated the extra care she took of my baby. Also did I mentioned she had very clean and spacious home and a huge front and backyard. She is the best sitter you could ever ask for. Thank you Davida!! ❤️”

TWELVE DAYS! We left our beloved pooch for twelve days with Steven - perhaps the longest we have been away from her - and out of the country at that. As usual, Steven was the best! We had no worries at all that Kaya was in the absolute best hands! Thank you, Steven!
Ivah was an excellent sitter and exactly what we were looking for. He was calm, knowledgeable, and very easygoing, which put us at ease right away. We have a one-year-old Cane Corso who is still in training and adjusting to new people, and Ivah handled her with patience and confidence. He kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout her stay, which we really appreciated. It was clear she was comfortable and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Ivah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog sitter and would gladly book with him again.
As a first time Rover user of the sitting service, Mila eased my anxiety with the care she provided to my senior dog. I was had not worries while out of town. She updated me and kept in communication along with sending pics. She is wonderful and my dog took to her beautiful energy. Thank you Mila for your exceptional service!
We've had Josue watch our dog Milo twice now, and we've been very happy both times! Josue is responsible, timely, and communicates well—he sends just the right amount of updates and photos during the stay, which we really appreciate. Milo always has a great time, gets lots of playtime, and especially enjoys spending time in Josue’s backyard. We feel confident and at ease leaving Milo in Josue’s care and would definitely recommend him to others!
