“10/10 they could not have been more accommodating. My dog is skidish and doesn’t like 99% of people but she warmed up to you guys so quickly you were amazing.”
“Kazue is the caregiver of our dreams ! A caring , pup pampering, diligent communicator. Our pups were excited and relaxed at our meet and greet and returned for their first stay tugging at their leashes to go back . They got daily walks, a nice shaded grassy yard to romp around, and Kazue provided frequent pictures and updates. At the end of their stay our boys were excited to see us, but also stopped to give goodbye kisses to Kazue🥰 as We know they will miss her and be happy to return .”
“Davis was the perfect dog sitter for my picky pups! They are usually scared of new people but they warmed up to Davis right away and he was so understanding of their needs and personalities! I really appreciated updates from Davis throughout the stay and I would book with Davis over and over again- I cannot recommend him more!!”
“Shera was lovely. She was very responsive and took great care of our cat. She is very knowledgeable with animals and knowing what they need to be comfortable. Will definitely book with her again!”
“Matt was a pleasure working with. He’s a great guy, was very communicative with us, and enjoyed watching our sof Eddie (Doberman) who has a ton of energy and is quite needy. Eddie has a great time and was comfortable in Matt’s home. I recommend him to anyone who needs to have their furry friend watched for the day or boarded for an extended period of time!”
“Jared is an absolute gem. He has such a lovely way about him and our dog adored him. It was such a relief to know he was being so well taken care of, not to mention the gorgeous pictures and sweet updates Jared would send. I highly, highly recommend him to anxious dog parents (me) everywhere. You will rest easy knowing that your animal is in Jared’s care.”
“Michael was awesome! He sent multiple picture updates throughout Stella's stay. It was so nice to know that she was getting individualized care, and he seemed to be showering her with attention (which she absolutely loves). We ended up booking with Michael because our usual (and much closer) Rover boarder was unavailable, but we would love to book with him again in the future!”
“I’m a repeat customer. My very active terrier comes home happy and exhausted (my favorite combination!), so I know she had lots of play time. When we returned the second time she was pulling at the leash like crazy right out of the car, excited to get into that dog-friendly yard and run around.”
“Lety is amazing! This was the first time I left Duke overnight and he did so good! Lety made sure to send updates about Duke throughout the day, and each day. I will definitely be booking again!”
“Monica was so great with Otis. She is so welcoming, warm, and dedicated to ensuring he had a great experience. She was so mindful of his dietary and medical needs and provided frequent updates to ensure we knew Otis was having such a great time. Lastly, Monica was flexible when a last minute snafu with scheduling and ensured we were able to get care when we needed. Thank you Monica! Excited to have Otis stay with you again”
“Thank you so much Danielle and Gabe for watching Ruby! I could tell Ruby had a great time and I got daily updates from them. I definitely will use them again!”
“Veronika was so great with my dog Nitro! She took him on a walk and to a market and fully included him in her day while she dog sat for me. Great communication and super friendly! Thank you Veronika!”
“It was the second time our dog has seen Patty and his first overnight with her. She was a great communicator before and during his visit with pictures of him enjoying his stay.”
“Reginay was awesome! Our original rover cancelled last minute and Reginay was able to board nala during our 11 day cruise. She was extremely responsive and caring and was understanding when we arrived late. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“This was Noodles’ second stay. Noodles seems to enjoy their company and make herself at home. Thank you for communicating changes in your availability and picking Noodles up!”
“My little dogs have always stayed with family or a trusted neighborhood sitter, but when no one was available for an overnight, we were happy to find Bari. My pups were happy with the combo of activities (walks, a dog park visit) and relaxing on Bari’s couch. My 10 year old mini schnauzer has a bit of separation anxiety, but she, as well as my schnoodle, had no problem making themselves at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to have them stay with Bari again.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We were lucky enough to find Michelle and Jim! We love our Husky and Golden like they are our kids; we were timid to trust anyone else with them but knew coming to a new city we would sooner or later need to find someone trustworthy. Michelle and Jim took care of our pups like if they were their own dogs. We received many photos and videos of their adventures throughout our time away; we appreciate the effort to let us know that they were doing just fine. Oddly enough it seems like the dogs loved it at their house more than we anticipated which only speaks to the love and care they provided to my two pups. Overall rating 11/10 for going above and beyond.”
“Hannah was just amazing! Atlas had so much fun at her place and can’t wait for his next visit! We really appreciated all the updates and communication.”
“Becky is great, appreciate all the updates and photos she provides and most importantly, our pups seemed happy and well taken care of during their stay with her. Would definitely recommend her to others and trust our pups again with her in the future!”
“We feel incredibly lucky to have found Julie for a last-minute booking from Tuesday to Friday night! From the moment I reached out to her, everything about the experience was seamless and reassuring. Julie invited us for a meet-and-greet at her home, and I immediately knew Toki would be in great hands. The next morning, I dropped Toki off feeling 100% confident that I had made the right choice. Julie’s warmth, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals were clear from the start. Throughout Toki’s stay, Julie kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Her communication was excellent, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing that Toki was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Julie to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and compassionate dog sitter. She truly treats your pet like family, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her! Thank you, Julie – we’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
