We have a very anxious dog who had only stayed with family members so we were looking for a place that was more like home and we found it. Annette is very warm and inviting and has a great set up. She treated Vasy with great care. She sent pics and video to keep us up to date. In addition to being a great dog sitter she is great groomer. We definitely will book again.

Another amazing stay for our Nova with Jay! Jay was able to fit us in for a weekend pretty last minute. He sent pictures at drop off and at convenient times during her stay. We really appreciate how he checks in just enough and never makes us feel like Nova is a burden. I love that it allows us to have a worry free weekend! Most of our pup’s stays are due to our daughter being a travel athlete. Jay always understands how we don’t always know what time we will be done on Sundays. Tonight we weren’t able to pick Nova up until later at night and Jay never made us feel bad about it. Nova always gets a ton of playtime in at Jay’s which I know she loves. We are thankful to have a permanent spot to board our girl. I would recommend Jay to any dog owner!

I 100% recommend Ana. I will definitely book again with her. She kept us informed of how Giddy was doing and sent us pictures and videos of him. He was very loved on his boarding with Ana. I could see he had a great time with his 2 new furry friends which loved to play with him. They are a very welcoming family. If you want a place where they love and take good care of your pet as much as you, you should book with Ana. ❤️

My regular sitter wasn't available and I had an important appointment that would take me out of town for two weeks. I couldn't reschedule the trip so I reviewed sitters on Rover. I found Samantha and Josh to be especially attentive to my needs. Firstly, we scheduled a "meet and greet" and everything went well. My two dogs seemed enthused. During my trip Samantha sent my numerous photos and several videos in their surroundings so I could see their care. The yard is fenced and large. The two dogs had a lot of play time. I would definitely recommend Samantha and Josh and found an very effective alternative to my regular sitter.

Estefan was great very welcoming leaving you feel at ease with leaving your furry buddy. She sends pictures multiple times a day which makes you feel like you never left. And at all times you know what your pup is doing. She went above and beyond with walks 3-4 times a day cuddles play time even tho I was on vacation it looked like my pup shadow had a better vacation then me. Thanks Estefan!

Vanessa and her family did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby Fazo (husky) not only did she send lots of pictures, videos and updates she also informed me of any mood changes on my baby. I felt very at ease and relaxed knowing he was with the best care. I highly recommend her to anyone who has to leave their fur babies for a couple days. I will definitely be rebooking her.

Angel was amazing! My 2 big babies stayed with him and his family in his home for 7 days and they took exceptional care of them. From the start, communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved the attention they received. Angel kept us updated with messages and photos, which meant so much to us. It’s not easy trusting someone with both your pets, but Angel made the entire experience stress-free. We came back to two very happy dogs, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

Did Ella enjoy their time with Brittanie? I'm glad you asked. Not only our first booking through Rover but the very first time we have left our precious Ella with family. Today it feels like Brittanie is family. She took wonderful care of Ella and was in constant communication with updates and photos. It made us very comfortable to know she was in great hands. We can highly recommend her for your pets to, just be warned, they will become family just as Ella has. She can't wait until her next visit.

My senior dog and young cat were very well taken care of. Received daily pictures and updates. Was allowed to bring my cat’s kitty condo because that is where she feels safe. She gave my dog’s pills as prescribed. Highly recommend. They had a 9 day stay.

We had an amazing experience with Chris and his wife as our dog sitters! We reached out VERY last minute (I'm talking a few hours before a last minute trip), and they were kind enough to take in our two golden retrievers the same day. At drop off they greeted us and them with big smiles and so much warmth, and we could immediately tell they were going to be as reliable as their other reviews had let on. Chris was very responsive and kept us updated along with sending photos and videos which put us at ease and they became a family announcement every time: "WE GOT A PHOTO!🤗" *cue everyone scrambling to look over my shoulder* 😄. They treated our pups like family and loved on them as if they were theirs (sorry about all the hair, lol). It was our first time ever leaving them with a sitter aside from our own family, so we truly appreciated knowing our dogs were in such great hands. We will absolutely be booking with them again! Thank you guys again for being so great and for opening your home to Lady and Leo. ❤️

Fantastic. I will continue to book through Angelica. She went above and beyond in every way imaginable. Plus she only houses non-reactive dogs, so the pictures and videos (there were plenty) were of him socializing and having some much needed playtime. If you have the option choose Angelica she is the perfect sitter.

This is the 2nd time leaving our “boys” with Katie. This time they stayed 3 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. It’s really helpful that Katie is so flexible about the drop off and pick up times. She again provided video updates to show that they were doing fine. I really appreciate Katie’s knowledge and skill with animals. One of my dogs is very insecure and fearful. The other has excess nervous energy. I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. I am really thankful that I found her.

Kristi was so good with Kota. He got along so well with her other dogs. Kristi sent so many videos and pictures to make us feel so good about leaving kota at a new place. I highly recommend Kristi and Kota loves her. He will be back. He has made some new fur friends. Thank you Kristi for taking such great care of Kota
