“Achara took care of my little man for a couple days when I went out of town. She sent me updates throughout his stay, with pictures. It seemed like he had a great stay with her family and their dogs. I appreciate everything Achara did for me and the little pup!”
“This was my second time booking with Martha, and she was wonderful once again. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, provided regular updates, and took great care of my dog while I was away. I felt completely at ease and would definitely book with Martha again!”
“Danielle was so good with my baby and VERY patient. She has lots of her own babies to play with which was nice as well. She was very communicative and I felt comfortable with all of her updates. I would definitely use her again!”

“Thank you so much for such wonderful care for our Miss Appa! It was so nice to relax at our out-of-town event and see the pics/videos of her getting walks and play times. And that was so nice of you to sleep down on the couch with her. She is a lucky dog!”
“Matt was an incredible dog sitter! Took excellent care of my golden retriever! He made sure to give her plenty of play time and provided plenty of updates. My dog had an absolute blast staying with Matt”
“Michael is a such a dog lover and fantastic sitter. I'm really glad I found him. He has a very neat and clean apartment and my dog Lulu warmed up to him right away. I haven't been separated from her before and I was nervous to leave her. But his assuring demeaner quieted my fears. He sent pictures of her as the evening went on. My dog has a heart condition and Michael was happy to give her medications and walk her too.”
“Cedric was honestly one of the best sitters I have ever used on Rover! He was so flexible in drop off and pick up, communicated very well and gave my boy Nitro all the attention he needed. He treated my dog like a part of the family. I would 100% use Cedric again without a doubt!”
“Becky is the greatest sitter. Our Sookie felt comfortable with her and looked happy while we were away. Becky sent lots of pictures, and we were happy to see she spoiled Sookie with all the attention and treats. Becky is very kind, communicative, and responsible with our girl. So happy we found her.”
“While I was away, Sade had excellent communication with me the entire time. She sent pictures and updates regularly, which I really appreciated. She also followed the meal plan I provided perfectly and took great care of Peanut. I would definitely highly recommend Sade to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, and I will absolutely be using her again in the very near future!”
“Chelsi took such great care of Levi when we took a long weekend to go camping. She’s so attentive and sent great updates. I would recommend her to anyone looking for their doggy to have a home away from home 🫶🏽”
“Our fur-child stayed with Lety for 4 nights which is the longest our sweet boy has been away from us. As always she communicates and provides updates in a timely manner throughout the day starting with breakfast time. Lety also takes amazing pics of him enjoying his walks and playtime with her dog Mason. He seems to enjoy his time whenever he goes to Lety’s. I’m grateful to have someone very caring to watch my Niko when needed.”
“Annie was truly a blessing while we were away. She treated my dogs Chip and Bengi like her own and showed so much patience and kindness. She was extremely understanding, dependable, and made the whole process stress free for us. It’s not easy trusting someone with your baby, but Annie made it feel so comfortable. We are beyond thankful for her! 💖💖🥹”
“Doh is an excellent sitter. We left our dog Bailey for the first time with a stranger but Doh was nothing but great to him, she sent us pictures and we were so happy that he got to play with other canine friends”
“Was really happy with Reginay and would book with her again. I’m always nervous to leave the babes with someone new, but she took in all my instructions for my very old dog and sent pictures to keep me updated. I felt like they were safe with her. Def recommend.”

Danielle was absolutely amazing! My baby was very well taken care of. She even went above and beyond and clipped her toenails for me. You won’t find a better pet sitter in the area that truly loves and cares for animals. Will definitely have her pet sit for me in the future. Thank you Danielle!!
We had a wonderful experience with Martha May while she boarded our dog, Loki. From the moment we connected, Martha was caring, kind, and incredibly communicative throughout his stay. She provided regular updates and thoughtful feedback, which gave us peace of mind and helped us better understand Loki's needs for future boarding visits. It was clear that Martha May genuinely cared about Loki's comfort and well-being, and he was well cared for during his time with her. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to share helpful observations made the experience exceptional. I highly recommend Martha May to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter. We would be happy to book with her again in the future!
Chelsi is an amazing sitter! I had to connect with her at the last minute for a weekend trip, and she was so accommodating, we were even able to squeeze in a meet-and-greet beforehand. You can immediately tell she is a dog person, and Pepper warmed up to her very quickly! While on my trip Chelsi was very consistent with sending updates and pictures, and I could tell that Pepper was feeling very comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend her and I look forward to booking with her again!
We found our dog-sitter Josh through Rover.com and he did a great job! We quickly were able to establish trust with Josh and appreciated that he went the extra mile to give our pup Kylo full attention and love, in addition to taking excellent care of him. My 5 year old pup Kylo doesn’t do well with trusting new people and has separation anxiety from being coddled so much. Josh took such good care of Kylo that he almost didn’t want to leave Josh, which makes me so happy. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter, or service, that wasn’t family. I feel relieved knowing Kylo has someone I can go to that I trust moving forward.
Shang was wonderful with my dog! She took great care of him, and it was clear he felt comfortable and happy with her. As a dog owner, it gives so much peace of mind knowing your pet is with someone kind, attentive, and trustworthy. My dog absolutely loves her, and I would happily book with her again. Highly recommend!
Matt and his crew were incredible! We got multiple daily updates with photos and videos. Our dogs tend to have separation anxiety, and we were worried about how they would do away from home. But they did great, all thanks to the great care Matt provided. Our dogs also got along great with Kobe, and were constantly playing and having fun. We would highly recommend Matt as a sitter, as he was very attentive and accommodating. We will definitely be using Matt as a sitter again in the future!
