“Megan was absolutely amazing. I always have anxiety when leaving my dogs with someone new but she made me feel so much better. She was kind and patient and gave me great updates on my dogs wellbeing.”
“Gail was absolutely amazing , she sent pictures the entire time I was out of the country and communicated how they were doing ! She was so sweet and so kind , my dogs adore her!”
“I had to book last minute, like an hour before we had to leave, and she was accommodating and friendly from the start! Her communication was great before and during my pet's stay, and I can tell she loves what she does! My pet isn't the perfect one to watch and she didn't complain once! This was my first time booking on rover, I'm usually the one doing the boarding on here, and she did everything right and then some. Very thankful and WILL book with Kathleen from now on ?”
“I fractured my ankle and couldn’t get around but I didn’t worry about exercising my dog. My girl is always happy when she is with Kobie and the boys and she gets the exercise and attention she needs. Exceptional service!”
“Lisa was great! Very flexible and I was completely comfortable leaving my dog and my parents' dog with her. I will definitely use Lisa again when I go out of town!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Julie & Kenneth took such great care of our boy! We were sent daily picture updates of all the fun activities. I could tell that Dallas felt completely at home with them. Dallas is an elder with medication and anxiety and Julie & Kenneth handled all medications and special care instructions with grace. We will definitely rebook with them in the future!”
“Alicia was fantastic with our bull terrier. She was happy and comfortable. We came home to a well-cared-for pup and couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend!”
“She is wonderful! I was going out of state so I was a little nervous- but she is amazing at what she does. She suggested a meet and greet with dogs beforehand which was an excellent idea. Martina- thank you again!”
“We are a repeat customer...Best puppy sitters ever! We didn’t have a care in the world and no doubt that our Monte was being well taken care of! And, we constantly received pictures which was a plus❤️ We will definitely stick with Rachel and Andrew.”
“I highly recommend Maryann! From her initial response to my request for pet sitting, to her multiple updates every day (with pictures), MaryAnn conveyed a professional and loving option for our little Puggle. We will definitely use her sitting services again!”
“This was our first time leaving Brody overnight in a new place since we got him as a puppy. Beth and her family took great care of him! Her dog Khloe is very sweet and playful and they got along great despite the size difference. Beth is very nice, personable and communicated with us often and put us at ease with leaving Brody in her care. I would use Beth again in the future!”
“Stacy was very communicative and my family loved getting pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Stella was well cared for and enjoyed having other dogs and loving humans to play with.”
“Rubeus had a great stay with Rebecca! Rebecca was very easy to communicate with and kept me updated with photos and videos throughout my trip. I could see how much fun my dog was having throughout her stay and how much care she was getting. I will 100% be booking with her again.”

Thank you, Mely!!! She was extremely considerate and attentive with my older girl, Mochi. With the highly responsive and transparent communications, regular pictures, and extra steps taken to make her feel comfortable, I know Mochi was in great hands with Mely. I 100% trust her with my sweet girl and will be booking again!!!
Madison was fantastic! I had a bit of a hectic schedule and she accommodated my changes with no problem at all. Cooper took to her very well, He was his happy chunky self when I picked him up. Within a few hours Cooper was already making himself at home and getting belly rubs. 100% will be booking with Madison again. Thank you!
Highly recommend booking with Elexus! She is so sweet and great with dogs. She took the time to get to know our Australian shepherd through our profile before his stay which made me feel very at ease. She was extremely communicative throughout our week long trip and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She also sent multiple pictures throughout each day! If you’re looking for a kind, professional, communicative, and active person who loves dogs, Elexus is your girl!
Brittany was amazing!! She was so communicative while I was away. She sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates so I was never worried how Winston was doing. He seemed to get plenty of exercise, even going to the dog park, and loved playing with her dogs as well. I really think Winston was spoiled on his time away! I will definitely be using Brittany again for when I go out of town.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ashlynn and her family. We’ve booked with her over 15 times, and that consistency alone speaks volumes about the trust and appreciation we have for the care she provides. From day one, Ashlynn has been incredibly reliable, communicative, and genuinely kind. It’s such a relief knowing Marly, our dog, is not only safe, but truly cared for and loved while we’re away. Her family creates such a warm, welcoming environment which feels more like a second home than a pet sitting service. She goes above and beyond in the little ways that matter: thoughtful updates, flexibility when plans shift, and always treating our pup like her own family. It’s rare to find someone you can trust this completely, and we feel very lucky to have found her. We wholeheartedly recommend Ashlynn to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate, and high-quality pet care.
I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'. I highly recommend Daisy, husband Walter and their 'boy' Teddy!!!!
Isaac took excellent care of our dogs, Duchess and Jojo, while we were away on a week-long cruise. His communication was great throughout our trip, and we really appreciated the frequent photo updates. We picked up our pups happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Very easy to drop them off and pick up, Brandon came to help and was super friendly and very welcoming for my chaotic kiddos. He did a phenomenal job taking good care of them while I was away. I got lots of pictures of their walks and the fun things they did this amend. I was worried because one of my boys has an anxious attachment personality due to his upbringing before I adopted him, but that wasn’t much of an issue with him due to the comfort and care that was provided. Extremely happy with the service (:
Kaitlynn went above and beyond for my dog Betty Lu. She accepted my last minute booking and was very helpful from the start. She did way more than was asked of her, I can’t express enough how thankful I am. I will be booking her again for all my future dog sitting needs!!!
