I am so grateful that we found her and have already hired her for another weekend. Thank you Ethel!”

Kyla is a true gem! She cared for our pup KoKo for 12 days—his very first time away from us—and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving, attentive sitter. She helped him make new furry friends, took him on fun and stimulating walks, and even spent quiet time with him by the pool. Her gentle care and light training gave KoKo confidence and joy. When we picked him up, we could tell he’d had a blast and felt safe. Kyla’s home became a peaceful second home for our little guy. No wonder she’s a Star Sitter—we see why! Truly looking forward to using her services again and again!
Kat provided outstanding care for my dog and kept me informed during her stay. She provided pictures and updates which reassured me that my dog was in good hands.Thank you for loving Gia like she was your own! We will be using your services in the future!
This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!
Zahra pampered my twin shih-tzus for a whole week. My skittish baby girl took to Zahra immediately. The needy boy was a little apprehensive at first, but Zahra was able to calm him down shortly. Zahra kept me updated periodically on the well-being of my babies. Zahra showered the twins with affection. One thing stood out to me the most is that Zahra kept my twins' eyes super clean. Most good caregivers would keep your dogs body and legs clean but would miss the eyes. Not one particle of sleep or gunk on my two white shit-tzus' eyes, face, or body. Zahra is cheerful and accommodating. Scheduling drop off and pick-up was a breeze. I highly recommend Zahra. I would 100% use her again. Zahra is not just a pet sitter. She is more like a close family member watching your young kids while you are away.
Matt was such an amazing sitter. He gave me daily updates and sent pics of how much fun my little Odessa was doing. He knew that I haven't boarded her before so he was extra attentive and kind which immediately eased my worries. I can't wait to book with Matt again!
Ethel is our favorite dog sitter for our pup when we go on trips and can’t bring him along. She is very kind and attentive with him, giving him lots of love and pets and being sure to keep us updated with lots of pictures. Our dog enjoys getting to spend time with other dogs when he stays with Ethel. It’s great for his socialization and allows him lots of time to play and have fun while we are out of town. Ethel is great!! Highly recommend!
Michaela is an amazing and dedicated dog sitter! She’s very personable and professional as well. She provided us regular updates and photos of our two pups, Rodger and Bailey. She accommodated our dog who has known back/neck issues and was patient with our other dog who is reactive. We highly recommend her to anyone else! :)
Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!
