“Our dog had a great stay with Kelly. She was very responsive and provided photos throughout his stay. He arrived home the next day and napped for hours, which is a sign for our energetic dog how much fun he had with Kelly! We will definitely use her again!”

“Nina was great with Ghibli!!! She sent lots of photos of a busy, happy boy and he came home very pleased with himself. I don’t think he missed me at all.”

“We would highly recommend trusting Kerry with your fur baby - she was so responsive, timely, and very caring for our puppy Howdy. Before we booked, Kerry wanted to meet us and Howdy to ensure we all felt comfortable and she went above and beyond. Thank you, Kerry!”

“Katie is an awesome pet sitter! She is very responsive and flexible with any need that arises. She also is very involved with the pets she over sees, she takes them to the dog park and sends tons of great photos and videos. I never have to worry about a thing with Katie as our pet sitter. I HIGHLY recommend you book Katie for your next pet sitting need!”

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Elizabeth was my first sitter using Rover and she will be my go-to from now on! She took great care of my love and sent lots of photos while I was away. I'm very grateful to have found Elizabeth!”

“Christine was wonderful. Teddy felt right at home as soon as we got there and quickly loved her which put me at ease. She sent me photos and gave me updates on how Teddy was doing. Her home has a fenced back yard and other pups for Teddy to play with. I could tell he had a great time and was exhausted when we got home. Sign of a good visit! Will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Christine!”

“Was really grateful that Isabelle was available to watch my toy breed dog over the Christmas weekend, and she was great about communicating promptly throughout, with prior meet and greet, drop off, and pickup.”

“Jodee and AJ were incredible. Razzo got amazing attention, walks and a great grass backyard. I got tons of updates and I could tell he was in great hands. Will absolutely book with them again.”

“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”

“Jennifer and Louis are FANTASTIC. They are Dolly's home away from home. I feel 100% at ease with Dolly in Jennifer's 24 hour care. Dolly has stayed with Jennifer before - and just now for 2 weeks and I will fly up from Florida for Dolly to stay with Jennifer and Louis when my family and I travel Internationally in October. Jennifer communicates, send pictures and keeps us informed. We love Jennifer and Dolly is always happy to see her and Louis.”

“I want to share how wonderful Karen was in caring for my pup, Leo, for five days. It was my first time being away from him that long, and I was quite anxious. However, from our first meeting, I felt completely comfortable, and Leo was relaxed too—he settled right in! Karen was very attentive and kept me updated with plenty of photos, which eased my worries. It was obvious that Leo was happy and well taken care of, and seeing his goofy, cheerful face was such a relief. I can't recommend Karen enough! She’s definitely going to be my go-to for any future care for Leo. Thank you so much, Karen, for everything!”

“Vilisi was wonderful! She had our one year old bernedoodle for two weeks and did an awesome job! Our dog got lots of walks and play time and loved looking out the window in her apartment. She is a very kind and attentive dog sitter and gives great updates with pictures and videos each day! Would highly recommend her!”

“Irene and James took great care of Rio! He had lots of fun playing with Stella and going to the dog park, and they were very responsive and sent lots of pics.”

“Catherine and Nikhit were absolutely amazing in caring for our dog when we were away for three weeks. The communication was seamless and we received lots of updates and photos. The best part is that we could tell that they formed a genuine bond with our dog and we had complete confidence that he was extremely well cared for. We are so grateful to them and absolutely recommend to others looking for exceptional care for their pups.”

“Ive already recommended Luciana to a neighbor and would do it again! She took excellent care of my pup, sent pics so that I could see that he was doing well on his first visit with her, and stayed mindful of his allergies and food restrictions. He was sad to leave her when he was picked up, which shows he felt loved and taken care of there. Great sitter!”

“Nicole and Adam take such good care of our dog, Mack! He is always so excited to see them, and their dog Blair, when we drop him off. Nicole sends lots of photos and updates, and they care for Mack like he’s their own. I feel so good leaving Mack with Nicole, even for long stays. Thank you Nicole!”

“Bhumika and Ravikamur were really great sitters for my dog, Kobe. They have a dog of their own so I was happy to know that he had someone to play with. They sent me pictures everyday and it was clear that he was very comfortable and happy during his stay. They were also accommodating and flexible, but also really kind overall. I’ll definitely book with them again in the future.”
