“Megan was TERRIFIC! She kept our two dogs for 3 nights and they came home so happy and worn out! She goes above and beyond with pictures and I screwed up and didn’t send enough chow and she supplemented on her own! 100% will recommend to everyone!”
“Tanaya was great! She was very welcoming to my Coco, and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Her other dogs were also very sweet and nice to Coco, and I believe Coco has new friends 🥰. Thank you so much for everything Tanaya! We will definitely return.”
“Ellen is wonderful and took excellent care of my dog! Her fenced back yard was great for him! Ellen was awesome about communicating with me during the boarding and she texted some adorable pictures! Highly recommended!”
“Was amazing all around. I know my dog enjoyed himself and her communication and picture updates were always fast and well needed given my 2 week separation from my fur baby. Will be reaching out again if I ever need a sitter!”
“My dogs seemed to have a great time with Orly. They were very tired when they got home. My experience with Orly was wonderful and I hope to have Baxter and Harper stay with her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, I was nervous and unsure if I had made the right decision but Geneive was a God send. Meeting her and her dog Lucy put me at ease, she was loving and kind to my pup and she treated him like family. Every update and picture I received showed my dog happy and enjoying his stay with her family. I’m grateful for the care and love she showed and will absolutely use her services again. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after River.”
“I can’t say enough about Aramae and her family. They took great care of our two little ones over the holiday. She treated them like family and kept us updated. Thank you so much.”
“Brittany did an amazing job taking care of Tuffy! She sent me lots of photos and videos so I knew he was having a great time. She truly cares about pets, I would 100% recommend her”

“Awesome sitter! Really goes out of her way to make sure that my Buddy is taken care of and sends pics and messages that keeps me worry free. Two thumbs up!!”
“I had a last-minute need to board my dog, and Rover came through in the best way possible. Amber and Dane were incredibly quick to respond, which was such a relief. From the start, I could tell they genuinely cared for my dog, Comet. They treated him like part of the family, and he clearly had a blast with their crew. They also sent lots of great photos during his stay, which helped put my mind at ease and showed just how much fun he was having. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I absolutely plan to book with them again in the future!”
“Sean did an excellent job dog sitting Cairo for the day. we did a one-day test run before our upcoming two-week vacation. Sean sent multiple videos and several text updates via the app throughout the day (all unprompted). Cairo also seemed very comfortable playing with both Sean and his three pups! This helped ensure we brought home a well-exercised dog.”
“Brittany, I would like to thank you for taking care of my fur baby, Russell. I also thank you for the photos! We hope to utilize your services in the future. Again, thank you so much!”
“Marina is an amazing caregiver. My wife and I are so pleased with the excellent care our senior dog received from her. Our dog wouldn't eat and became very ill just before our scheduled boarding service. I took her to the vet the day we dropped her off. Our dog was prescribed a few different medications. I let Marina know the situation and she was undaunted. She welcomed our pet into her home and did an amazing job taking care of her and administering her meds. The quality of care she provided was way above and beyond what we expected. She was very patient with our pet and nursed her back to good health. Marina also provided daily updates which we greatly appreciated, she even sent pictures. We are absolutely thrilled with the care Marina provided for our dog and hope we are able to make more bookings with her in the future. Mere words cannot adequately convey how caring, patient and talented Marina is when caring for animals. Thank you so much, Marina.”

Marina did an amazing job taking care of our dog. She was very conscientious in ensuring he adapted well to her home, and he quickly integrated into her family. Despite our dog needing daily medication and extra care, she and her family made him a part of their family in a short amount of time. Thank you - we will definitely use her again!
Absolutely wonderful, i feel so lucky we found Brittany! She sent me soo many pics & vids of my baby while in her care & she was clearly having the time of her life! Spoiled with affection, dog park trips & even a spa day where she got her ears cleaned & got a shea butter massage!
My dog Luna immediately thought Lily was her bff when they met. She took such good care of our furbaby & even was great at giving last minute medications that Luna needed. Lots of great pictures & fantastic communication. I will definitely be using Lily again next time im out of town.
Autumn was incredible with Jack and Daisy! From the moment we met her, I could tell they were in great hands. She clearly knows her stuff when it comes to dogs, and her experience really shows. Her setup is super clean and safe, and I loved that the kennel is attached to her home — it felt like Jack and Daisy were part of the family the whole time.
My pup had the time of his life!! Genevie made my vacay so much more relaxing by knowing that my pup was being loved and cared for the same as I do at home. She provided many updates which put my mind at ease and really gave top notch service. I will certainly be using her again.
Aaron and his family watched my dog, Matilda, for a few days / nights and I couldn't be more grateful for the care and compassion she received from them. Aaron sent me multiple videos from their walks and even a photo that was 10x better than any of the thousands of photos that I've taken of Matilda. I highly recommend Aaron for all your future dog walkings and/or boardings, your dog will definitely enjoy his or stay!
Eleyna takes such genuinely good care of animals. We trust her completely. She is smart, dedicated, and an expert on dog behavior with thorough attention to detail. She does things with absolute integrity. She thoughtfully cared for our trio and all of them loved her. Her photos are the best ever. Thank you Eleyna
Elexus was great with communicating and ensuring my boys were safe, happy and stayed tired, lol. She sent photos often and let me know how they were doing each day. She listened attentively to all my information about their personalities and even went the extra mile to wash their sweaters to make sure they went home with clean "clothes" to keep them cozy for the snowstorm. I definitely recommend her.
This family is so sweet and go above and beyond for your pet! We left our 2 puppies with them over christmas and we continued to get updates, pictures and consistent communication. They are so loving to your pets. Truly a home away from home for them! Couldn’t have found a better sitter! Highly highly recommend!
