“Addison was an amazing sitter for our Sunny boy! She was super responsive and kept us updated on how he was doing during his stay. It was clear from the start how caring she is, and Sunny seemed so happy and comfortable in her care. We would absolutely book with Addison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind sitter.”

“Melissa took great care of our dog while we were away for a wedding! Easy to communicate with, sent regular pictures and updates, and our pup came home nice and tired from all the fun!”

“Another great experience boarding with Madison and Joe. She sent plenty of Instagram worthy pics and my dog came back happy and healthy. We especially enjoy their promptness for pick-up/drop-off as we’re always eager to reunite with our dog at the end of a trip. So happy to have found this sitter!”


“Kimberly clearly cares for you dog as it they were her own. Great set up and so much playtime with other dogs. Judging from the many pictures sent every day, Willa had a blast there. I’d trust Kimberly with Willa anytime!”

“Our dog, Noddle, is a cherished member of our family; Patricia treated him the same way. From the initial meeting, Patricia's genuine love of and experience with a variety of animals was obvious. Noodle took to her right away. From the photos including walks on the beach and playtime in addition to the messages she regularly sent us, we could tell that he was happy and pampered. We feel completely comfortable and enthusiastic recommending Patricia and will engage her again. She is great. Lucky Noodle. Lucky us.”

“Tara saved the day! Our family needed quick assistance with an unexpected hospital stay. She was flexible and super helpful with providing updates and extending the stay as needed. Our dog was sad she had to leave! Thank you so much!”

“We are so lucky to have found Geof! He sent wonderful updates and took such care of our doggie. Geof wanted to know about our doggie to make sure it was the best experience for her, and it was! She was so, so happy. His beautiful house has the best backyard for doggies to enjoy their time outside.”

“Carrie was communicative and flexible. She was understanding when our flight schedule kept changing impacting our timeline. Our dog, Luna, seemed to enjoy her time at Carrie’s along with a bunch of over pups.”

“This was my first experience with Rover.com and I feel very lucky to have found Brian and his family. They are real dog lovers and took great care of my dog. I felt confident after our meeting and trusted their care. Brian responded with texts and pictures very quickly. I would definitely book with him, again. Thank you!”

“Eve maintained great communication throughout our pup's stay, really gave us a peace of mind. Well kept grounds and clean household. Her own dogs are friendly and kept our dog busy. We are so lucky to have found her. 100% recommend.”

“I can’t say enough great things about Armitage. They take such amazing care of Kharma every single time. Even when Kharma had to stay really late, they were incredibly accommodating and made sure he was comfortable and well taken care of the entire time. It truly gives me peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. At this point, Armitage is the first sitter I call every time without hesitation. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with Kharma. The level of care, consistency, and genuine love they show means everything to me.”

“Good morning Natalia! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Calvyn! It’s clear that you went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable, happy, and loved. We could tell he was in great hands, and it really put our minds at ease while we were away on the cruise. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for everything you did an outstanding job! We noticed how happy Calvyn seemed to be when we brought him home. Job well done! Thank you so much we really appreciate it. We would highly recommend you to others! Manny and Addy Marques”

“Jean is an absolutely incredible sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is loved, cared for and feels safe during their stay. We can always tell after each visit how much sugar has loved her stay with Jean, and there are many video and photo updates to take the stress away.”

“I felt very confident that Sassy would be well taken care of at Nadias and she was. I will definitely use her again in the future. She was very communicative sent pictures. Best of all I think Sassy had a ball. She enjoyed playing w/Nadia's 2 dogs. And she loved having Nadia's kids to play with also. She has a big beautiful back yard for the dogs to play in. I highly recommend Nadia.”

Nicole was amazing! My dog sometimes can be a little nervous with sitters/sleepovers but he felt comfortable almost immediately with Nicole. I came to pick him up, and he was almost reluctant to leave, lol. I would absolutely recommend Nicole to other pet owners (just not when I need to use her 😉)
