“Anne was wonderful! Beautiful yard and friendly dogs that played with my two after a long car ride from PA. Lots of updates and photos, which were appreciated as new Rover users.”

“Alma took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! He got lots of exercise and had so much fun playing with Birdie. Alma had a great setup at home and her communication was top notch.”

“Neil and Abby were great. Good communication and our dog was very happy there - lots of good play time with their dog Molly. Would definitely have Delta board with them again in the future!”


“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Marna communicated perfectly throughout, sending us daily photos that showed just how much love and attention our dog was receiving. He was clearly treated like part of the family—when we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and completely at ease. It was obvious he felt right at home. If you’re looking for a place where your dog will truly be loved and cared for, Marna is the one.”

“Emily and Kieran were so great with Chewy! I met with them and Leon leading up to the booking which was great so that our dogs met ahead of time. They sent periodic updates which was awesome and put me at ease. It was a wonderful first experience using Rover.”

“Sri could not have cared for Murphy better! She sent us daily updates with photos and videos. They went on walks and played daily and it was evident that Sri loved Murphy as her own. We feel so lucky and greatly appreciate Sri!”

“Lindsay did such a great job with our pug, Chloe. She sent photos, played with her, took her for long walks. When we picked Chloe up - she was perfectly calm and clearly felt comfortable and lived with Lindsay.”

“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”

“Jake was amazing with my dog, Ridge! From the very start he was friendly and easy to communicate with, and he kept me updated the whole time with plenty of photos. Ridge looked so happy and well-cared for in every picture, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. Jake was professional, reliable, and clearly loves spending time with dogs. I’d absolutely book him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Viva is an amazing Dog Sitter. She took care of a relatively elderly dog with lots of medication’s beautifully with excellent communication and I plan to work with her again many thanks.”

“Louise is so happy getting out of the car at Elisabeth’s. She is so well cared for and Elisabeth always sends updates of what she’s up to and how much fun she’s having. So grateful to Elisabeth and highly recommend her and her sweet dogs!!”

“Kelly was wonderful with our dog Jimmy! She took him to the lake, and he had an absolute blast playing there. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sending us updates with pictures and videos. He probably didn’t want to come home! We’ll definitely book Kelly again.”


“Katherine did an amazing job with Boone. He was well rested and not anxious at all when I picked him up. She was very flexible and communicative during his stay. I was very happy!”

“Christine is a new favorite dogsitter! I left one of my dogs with her and her canine crew for five days—she came home happy, healthy, and tired after romping around the big fenced yard, dipping in the pool, and snoozing on the couch. Worry-free dogsitting from a true dog lover. Thanks, Christine!”

“Celine did a great job with Buda while we were gone for about a week! Some health concerns came out but she handled it very professionally and Buda looked so happy during his stay. We got frequent updates and photos, everything we could ask for.”

“I recently went on a cruise and booked John as a pet sitter to watch my dog, Jim, at his house. John was awesome! He suggested we meet up before my trip to make sure that Jim warmed to him and his dog Charlie. This made the drop off way easier, when we actually left for vacation. John is warm, kind and an obvious dog lover. His dog Charlie is very mild mannered and socialized with my dog very well. John kept my dog for 8 days. When I went to pick Jim up, I could tell that Jim genuinely liked John. I will definitely use John again!”

We couldn’t have asked for better care for Phoebe while we were out of town. She was treated like family, and it was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. We’re so appreciative of the updates with pictures and the thoughtful care she received. It made being away so much easier knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust Muriel and her family again.

Jenna was amazing, we booked last minute for our energetic, large lab after our planned care fell through. It was obvious through pictures and communication that Mogul was well cared for, getting lots of walks, runs and adventure and that Jenna was staying consistent with our training. We couldn’t be happier and will 100% rebook with her in the future .

My dog Juno loved Grace the minute she met her! She got to go on lots of walks on the Eastern Prom, and appeared to eat very well, which isn't always the case if she is feeling anxious being away from us. I so appreciated the daily pics Grace sent of Juno out walking and/or snuggled up and clearly cozy at Grace's place. Plus Grace is just clearly a very kind, lovely person. I would love to book her again in the future, and definitely recommend her to others!
