“Thank you so much for caring for Bentley while i was away. I knew he was in good hands the moment we met. The daily updates helped me as well, i loved knowing about his day. Ariel n her family were so sweet & welcoming!!”
“Teresa was so easy to work with in boarding our fur baby. She is so personable and took care of Simba like her own. We were able to have a peaceful getaway knowing he was with a loving family. Highly recommend Teresa.”
“Yulia was a perfect babysitter not once did I have to ask about my baby she kept me well informed all dsy and sent plenty of pictures Yulia is now and will forever be part of out family”
“This was our first time being away from our dog (she was a pandemic puppy) so I was a nervous dog Mom. Lisa was great -- she sent us pictures of Dottie Pepper several times, she was very responsive to texts, and followed our "cheat sheet" of instructions that we provided. Dottie Pepper says "thumbs up" and we have already booked the next stay.”
“Our two girls had a wonderful time with Candie and her dog! She was so welcoming and opened her home to them, and they quickly made themselves right at home. In every photo and video, they looked like they were having a blast—playing, running around, and resting comfortably. We'll definitely be using Candie again for any future trips!”
“Julie and Natalie boarded our corgi, Roux for a several days while we were on vacation. We had a great experience! We received updates and Roux seemed happy and comfortable during her stay. We will definitely reach out again for any boarding needs!”
“Whitley was great with my Yorkiepoo. We had an initial meet-and-greet at my request because I know my fur baby has issues with high energy big dogs; she doesn’t want to be squished! Her dogs were so laid back and Whitley is so sweet and compassionate. My little fur baby had no trouble relaxing and snuggling up on the couch. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. My fur baby was well taken care of and I’d definitely use Whitley again.”
“Tracey and her family were so accommodating. Our stay started off rocky at no fault to Tracey (previous sitter left us in a mess) Tracey went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and more relaxed. Our baby had such a fun time! I got plenty of photos and updates. Will rebook in the future!”
“Maria was the sweetest! Super welcoming and helped us in a last second crunch. Elsa really enjoyed her time with Maria and her family. Maria kept me up to date with what Ms. Elsa was doing throughout the entire visit. I will for sure book with Maria and her family again!”
“Our dog was well taken care of, and we received daily updates. Jingyi took the time to care for her coat, which other sitters haven't. When we picked her up, our dog was brushed, cleaned, and fed. Thank you, Jingyi!”
“Damon and Danyelle were very kind and flexible while taking care of our dogs! They cleaned up after and took care of our pup with a sensitive stomach. Would definitely recommend using them if you’re looking for someone trustworthy to take care of your pets.👍”
“Derek and Kristina were so kind. They helped me out last minute and it means a lot. This was Roxie first time being with anyone other than us and she was happy! I really appreciate them. Roxie looks forward to seeing them again soon!”
“Melissa was great with our dog- Rio during the week he stayed with her and her family. She gave daily updates and sent us pictures of Rio. Highly recommend her for your furry friend!”
“This was my first-time using Rover to find someone to watch my Yorkie, Maxcee. I was a little hesitant at first because the last, and only, time we boarded her in a traditional kennel over a weekend was not a good experience due to her getting nervous around so many animals/larger dogs, some were aggressive at times. Since we had a longer vacation already scheduled, we decided to try and find an in-home dog sitter with experience that offered a smaller, more intimate setting for our fur baby. We looked on Rover and I came across Lisa and David's profile. They had very good "verified" reviews which was important to me but what also stuck out to me was that they only kept 2 dogs at a time which was very important as well. We decided to setup a meet and greet, and it went very well. Lisa and David were warm and inviting to us and our fur babies (my son also boarded his Morkie, Lola, at the same time so they could be together since he also needed a sitter for our trip, and it worked out perfect). The meet and greet with Maxcee and Lola went very well. During their stay Lisa was very attentive and caring to Maxcee (and Lola) and gave them both the time and attention they needed to feel comfortable and at ease. My baby girl can be a picky eater so there were a few times where Lisa reached out to me to let me know what was going on and how she was doing. We eventually figured it out and she was able to get her to eat some (thank you, Lisa, for your patience with Maxcee and for even feeding her at times to make sure she ate something). Lisa provided outside time in the sun which Max loves and she had plenty of play time with Lola which she also loves! She also provided lots of pictures each day, which I loved, showing what Maxcee was up to, and it put my mind at ease seeing how well she was adjusting while I was gone. I would definitely recommend Lisa and David for your dog sitting needs, especially if you have a dog like mine that does not do well in those large kennel environments. I will, definitely, use Lisa and David again should the need arise and hopefully I will have found something she really enjoys eating so she'll be less picky :)”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our dogs, Kona, Nellie, and Harvey, with this family. They sent frequent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was easy to tell our dogs were having fun playing with the other dogs and receiving lots of love and affection. We also really appreciated their communication and transparency. When one of our dogs had a negative interaction with another dog, they informed us immediately and kept us updated. We felt that our dogs were genuinely cared for like part of the family. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy place for their pets.”
“Lindsay communicated with me on a daily basis, sent pictures every day. Bingo enjoyed his stay so much he didn’t want to come home. He had friends to play with, and I think he was sad leaving them.”
“Sara was an absolute Godsent. You came through for me the night before I left for my trip. She was so welcoming and attentive. She sent be multiple pictures and check ins of how my furbabies were doing daily. My heart was at ease and I knew they were well taken care of. She is amazing and I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Nikki has been a fantastic sitter for our German Shepherd. He is very reserved and has some medical issues. She has no problem giving him medications. And with her dog Turk, she helped him come out of his shell. He is completely relaxed at her place. This is amazing. He rarely get relaxed anywhere but home. We will always use Nikki
Ishita (Minnie) cared for Graham while we traveled. She took excellent care of him, caring for him as if he were her own dog!! She sent pictures and video updates everyday which was comforting to see him having a great time! She asked if Graham could go to the dog park, and he truly enjoyed getting out and playing with other dogs. I would recommend her to care for you dogs while you’re away!
We had a great experience with Toria and family for overnight boarding for Ollie. She was super communicative the entire time, sending updates and making sure we felt at ease while we were away. Most importantly, she took amazing care of Ollie came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Would absolutely book with Toria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and attentive!
Jacqueliene was amazing with our two energetic pups! She sent photos throughout the stay and always kept us updated during our vacation, which made us feel comfortable knowing they were well taken care of. Our pups are not the easiest to handle because of their energy but Jacqueliene did great! We will definitely leave them with her again and recommend others to do so as well!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Amanda and her family. This was the very first time we left our dog, and it was for two weeks, so we were extremely nervous. He wasn’t used to being around other dogs except for our little Cockapoo, and we worried about how he would adjust. From the moment we met Amanda, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for dogs put us at ease. Not only did our dog do well—he absolutely thrived. He learned how to socialize, became more playful, and clearly felt safe, loved, and cared for during his stay. Seeing how happy and comfortable he was made all the difference for us. We now feel completely confident leaving our baby with Amanda and her family. They welcomed him as if he were their own, and that peace of mind is priceless. We are so grateful and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, loving dog care. 🐾💛
Amber & Ronnie well excited to meet Milo. Milo has a separation anxiety and possessive nature. Amber said no problem. We can take care of him. I’m very happy with their care. They were even flexible to pick up and drop Milo. They give me constant updates on how he was doing. I highly recommend them.
