“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”
“Brian and Jerri are the BEST! This was my first time leaving my 5 year old Azuki with someone through Rover and we had the best experience. Brian and Jerri arranged a meet and greet which was great so we could discuss Azuki's needs as well as the rules of their home. Azuki spent 4 days with them and she came home soooooo happy. Brian was great communicating with me and sent me pictures to show me Azuki was doing well. It was the first time I have left Azuki with someone and felt totally safe and secure that she was being taken care of (even when I have had dogsitters in my own home!) so i didn't feel the need to keep checking on her. Azuki had tons of pets and playtime. We immediately booked our next stay because it went so well! Thank you Brian and Jerri!!!!”
“Trish came back happier than usual, was updated every day she was staying during my travels and any concerns on behaviors were immediately told to me with quick responses! Absolutely would recommend for anyone looking for a trustable caregiver for their pets to stay when needing a sitter!”
“I have never boared my dogs before and a coworker refered me to Jamie. My two dogs had a blast with her and her whole family!! Definitely recommended her to watch your pets!!!”
“William and The Zoo were perfect for our dog: attentive and engaging. It was so nice to know he had company and plenty of playtime. William was friendly, flexible, and highly responsive!”
“Bobbi was she very helpful in a short notice. My first time her. She was sweet and kind to my baby and Bonni treated her like a princess.100% would recommend her again”
“Cecilia is a wonderful caretaker for my dog Baldr, I have left him with her twice. She is very communicative and kind and I feel comfortable leaving my beloved older dog with her.”
“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”
“Carrie was like a FurMom to my Sadie. She took her in for a couple of days. She sent me updates and photos! I'd recommend her for your Furkids! Yes, she doesn't have many reviews as she's starting up, but she's very reliable and trustworthy. Thanks Carrie!”
“Rosalia gave our dog excellent care and lots of attention. We received plenty of updates so we were always comfortable our dog was doing well. We found Rosalia to be very responsive and flexible and are happy to be booking with her again for a much longer trip.”
“Rebecca was AMAZING!! She sent me tons of pictures and updates so I always felt up to date. She even offered to bathe my dog! Definitely will be back with her in the future :)”
“Shell was absolutely a blessing! I didn't even worry about my baby Angel while I was away on vacation. She took really good care of my baby and sent me pictures everyday. I am definitely taking her back for care when I'm away again.”
“Brian has a wonderful home and yard for boarding, and is thorough and diligent in his communication before and during the visit. Never had any doubts that my Great Pyr and the other dogs in his care receive excellent treatment throughout their stay.”
“Mary was excellent, she treated Nico like he was her own I was sent pictures of him watching soccer with her on the couch and relaxing on the outside furniture. He was right at home I will be taking him back to her my next vacation thank you Mary for taking such great care of my Nico”
“Mereya is fantastic! She took care of our old pup like one of her own. He came back exhausted and worn out after playing with her dogs and her family. Have booked with her multiple times, and will again in the future!”
“Returning customer! Second time using Billy’s doggy sitter service and always had the best experience and service. He Always send pics of how my dog was doing and made sure that my dog Misty was having a great time. I‘ll forever be a loyal customer. Thanks Billy for your great service and care towards my dog.”

My doggy passed on last week, and I am still very heartbroken, but I wanted to leave a review for Billy. I travel extensively for work, and over the past 3 years or more I have trusted Billy to take care of Finn. Finn was a rescue pup 13 years ago and had a tough puppyhood and was very afraid of people. He warmed up to Billy pretty quickly, and I sometimes would have to leave him with Billy for 3 weeks to sometimes over a month as I work overseas. I would get regularly updated reports and pictures, and I always felt that Finn was in good safe hands. I highly recommend Billy, he is a serious, trustworthy and reliable person to leave your pet with!
Tatiana did an absolutely amazing job of taking care of our little guy. Caring for a deaf dog is not always easy but she did a wonderful job! She sent great updates and was so easy to communicate and work with! Thank you again for taking such great care of our Lenny boy!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Cooper, Ruby, and Duke. She immediately connected with all three of them — which says a lot, because each of my dogs has a totally different personality. She balanced their energy perfectly, made sure everyone got the right amount of attention, and kept their routines consistent. I received regular updates and photos every day, and it was clear they were not just being watched, but truly cared for. They looked happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable with her. The house was spotless when I returned, and the dogs were calm and content — a sign of someone who really knows what they’re doing. If you have multiple dogs, especially ones with unique needs, I can’t recommend her enough. She goes above and beyond, and I will absolutely be booking her again.
Lucy was immediately comfortable with Pat. Dogs know who loves them. All our communications were clear and quick. There was flexibility in the pickup and drop off times. We felt Lucy was well cared for and didn’t worry about her at all, knowing that she felt good in a good place.
I can’t recommend Rachael G. highly enough! From the moment we met, I knew my pets were in the best hands. She went above and beyond to make sure my three high energy dogs felt safe, loved, and comfortable while I was away. I received daily updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful check-ins that gave me total peace of mind. When I returned home, my pets were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for—like they had been on vacation! The attention to detail, genuine love for animals, and professional reliability truly set Rachael apart. If you’re looking for a pet sitter who treats your furry family like their own, look no further. 🐾 I’m so grateful to have found Rachael and I’ll never use anyone else!
