Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹

We had a wonderful experience with Aya! We went on our longest family trip and left our pup with Aya. She had great reviews and knew she would take good care of Sianna, while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures, and in each photo, our dog looked happy and was having fun. If you need to find excellent care for your dog, we highly recommend Rover and Aya! We trusted her with our beloved dog and know she will take great care of your too!

Initially I felt bad dropping my dog off, he was super nervous when I left but Achara helped him get settled in and kept me updated on how he was adjusting. She provided regular pictures so I could see him enjoying his time with new puppy friends and enjoying laying in the yard in the sun! I’m grateful for the compassionate care and would definitely recommend her to other pet owners!

Took my pup on many walks and cuddled up for movie time with him. Will definitely be using Roy for future stays!

Deanna did an amazing job taking care of my two pups, Nala and Mushu! She made sure they were comfortable, well taken care of, and treated them like her own. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Nala and Mushu both looked happy, relaxed, and well adjusted in her home. I’m so grateful for the care and attention she gave them. Thank you so much, Deanna! I would definitely book with you again.

Zariyah is terrific. My spoiled pup just left Zariyah’s place after a 6 day stay. (Big deal for my household.) Downright heartwarming how my pup just sat at Zariyah’s feet calmly while she and I chatted about the stay. Spoke volumes about how safe my pup felt around her. Zariyah is excellent about the mechanics of boarding four-legged children: thorough meet-and-greet, wants and shares details about food / temperament / meds / etc., “proof of life” pics and videos throughout the stay. Will def be back. Thanks again, Zariyah.

Justin provided excellent care and companionship to our dog, a 65 lb pit mix, for five nights/six days. He took her on daily walks, was meticulous about giving her her joint supplement, and gave her lots of affection. I always love when dog sitters seem to genuinely enjoy having my dog around, and this was the case with Justin. We will definitely book again.
