“This was my first time using Rover service. I was worried in the first. But Manli and his husband were very nice to my dogs and very responsive. They sent me pictures of the dogs everyday and kept us posted all the time. The husband even slept on couch to take care of my dogs since they barked at the new environment in the night. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Five stars! Couldn't ask for a better dog sitter! I can't recommend Tracy highly enough! They went above and beyond caring for my dog while I was away. Tracy followed all my instructions perfectly, which gave me great peace of mind. More importantly, my dog came back happy and healthy! It was clear she received tons of love, attention, exercise, and care. Tracy was also fantastic about communication. They sent me regular updates and adorable photos, which helped ease any worries and made my trip even more enjoyable. Overall, I had an amazing experience with Tracy and will definitely be booking them again for any future dog sitting needs. They truly are the best!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my whole life, so caring for pups has always felt very natural to me. I’m a recent college grad, currently working remotely and getting ready to apply to grad school — which means I’m home a lot and genuinely love having dogs around during the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and energy levels, including seniors and more sensitive or shy dogs. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with walks, feeding, basic medications, and overnight care, and I always try to stick closely to each dog’s normal routine. I’m very attentive, easy to reach, and happy to send updates and photos while you’re away. Mostly, I just really enjoy having pups around and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.

“Matthew and Katelyn were amazing! They took such great care of our pup for the night and made everything super easy. They sent updates and photos, and I could tell Coco was having a great time and felt totally comfortable. When we picked him up, he was happy and relaxed. I’m so glad we found them — I’d definitely book again!”

Yun and Lina are very kind and caring. Tobin can definitely be naughty, he loves food and will try to eat anything he can, but he was well loved and comfortable in their home. I was out of the country for two weeks and they gave me regular updates throughout. Tobin did accidentally eat chocolate but Yun and Lina were very responsible and communicative, they brought him to the emergency vet and I was able to speak to them and the vet for Tobin’s treatment. Tobin was totally fine and remained happy at their home till I returned. I was put at ease as they were able to care for him even with the accident, and he was very relaxed when I brought him home.
