1. Kerri R.

“I used rover for the first time and was very nervous and apprehensive about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. I chose Kerri because she was so positive and responded quickly. Kerri sent pictures and kept me up to date about my dog and his activities. When I picked him up she was just as friendly and my dog was happy. I would use her again in a heartbeat if I ever need a sitter for my dog.”


2. Jasmine Q.

“Jasmine is very kind I could tell by the way Charlotte went to her when she was dropped off Charlotte's content face on the pictures Jasmine sent. I'm happy with the experience and hope she's available whenever I need her.”


3. Tara C.


“Tara and her family are great!!! Tara boarded my 8 month old high energy puppy, Chantè, for a week with no problem. During her stay, Tara sent tons of pictures of and updated me on how she was doing. When my returning flight was delayed she was very understanding when I couldn’t make the planned pick up time. When I picked up Chantè I could tell she had a blast and was well taken care of. When we got home I could tell she missed her new friends!! Thanks again for everything!!!”


4. Rahied L.

“All I can say is Rahied is AMAZING!! My 18yr old blind and deaf baby Coco and are beyond blessed to have found him🙏🏾 He was so attentive, sent updates with pictures daily! Caring for a senior dog is very challenging and exhausting but Rahied made this stay so pleasant for my baby. Feed her by hand, let her drink from her bowl by hand, held her when she cried, administered her medication and so much more😫 I felt so comfortable leaving my baby with him, my spirit told me HE was the one & my spirit does NOT LIE! Forever grateful🤞🏾 If you desire compassion, attentive & extra love while being in the care of a sitter, please don't hesitate to book Rahied Hi🫶🏾 If my baby live another season, Rahied is our choice! Thank you again❤️”


5. Christopher & Cassandra H.

“Christopher and Cassandra have been great for Diesel. They kept us updates about the stay, sending pictures and videos and letting us know how he was settling in as this was our first time with them. They were flexible with drop off and pickup times and will surely have them at the top of our list for next time.”


6. Queeny T.

“Queeny is one of my favorite dog sitters. I never have to worry about my dog when she’s in her care. Good communication and very flexible. Queeny and her husband take her on walks and play in the yard with her every time she’s there. She always seems pumped to go to their house.”


7. Shelbi R.

“Shelbi was absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed her pupdates! Her communication was great and her home is nice and cozy. My Gracie girl enjoyed her stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing she was in great hands. I will definitely book her again in the future!!!”


8. Steven S.

“Steven was great. My pups felt right at home. Steven is very accommodating, and I would highly recommend him as a sitter for your babies. I appreciate such a caring person while I traveled it made me feel very comfortable.”

10. Karen C.

“Karen was great with Molly! Molly really enjoyed her time and I got updates everyday on how Molly was doing. Molly also was only 13 weeks old and Karen was willing to take her in and did a phenomenal job having a puppy around. I would recommend Karen for anyone who needs to have board their dog.”


11. Amie E.

“Daisy LOVED her time with Amie & her family. Amie was so kind and updated me throughout the stay. Daisy had the best Thanksgiving with Amie’s puppies. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her!!! Highly recommend Amie ❤️”

“Mary and her family were wonderful with our dog Nova!! They have a huge fenced in backyard, and took her on many walks. We felt like she was in amazing care during our trip, and received photos throughout the day! Thank you so much Mary!”


14. Pamela C.

“Pam did a great job with our 2 year old cockapoo, Archie! She watched him for our wedding day/night and he had a great time. Archie felt comfortable right away when we did a meet and greet and loved the back yard. When we picked him up he was worn out from lots of walks and Pam even went above and beyond and gave us a framed photo of our best bud from the day of our wedding! We’re grateful to Pam for giving us an extra little memory of Archie since we weren’t able to include him in our special day but he was in great hands.”


15. Lydia C.

“Lydia was AWESOME!! Peanut got along with her dog and stayed overnight. He seemed happy as can be when I picked him up. Thank you Lydia!!! Highly recommend. Will use again!!!”




16. Makenna L.

“It's always a good sign of a great pet sitter when your dogs don't want to come home with you when you pick them up! Dinah kept wanting to run around Makenna's wonderful yard - Just one more time, Mom?!”


17. Katie K.

“Katie took the best care of my senior pup. Her house is warm and welcoming, and the backyard fenced and safe. Katie treated Chica like she was her own dog, and her two friendly pups were so well behaved and sweet. They all got along perfectly. All instructions were followed precisely, including feeding, crating, and putting on Chica's warm jacket when it was cold out. We received daily updates and photos and had a relaxing, worry-free vacation knowing the Chica was being cared for just as well as she would have been at home. She enjoyed herself so much. I will definitely be reaching out to Katie the next time we need daycare or overnight boarding.”


18. DeAndrea R.

“This was my first time ever using any type of pet sitting service and DeDe has truly set the standards. I am very grateful to have found her. DeDe and her family were truly phenomenal and loved all over my fur baby. A truly happy customer !! I will be rebooking”


19. Mariana H.
“Could not be any happier! We received multiple pictures per day and our dogs seemed to be so happy! Mariana and her husband were wonderful! Dogs got to sleep in the bed with them, roam their backyard, and even got to go on walks! We will definitely use Mariana again! She was AWESOME!!!”


20. Susan S.

“Susan was a godsend for a first time pet Mom leaving my baby! She was communicative, understanding, she sent me pics, and he was quite happy when I came to pick him up. I think he's excited to have Sansa as a new friend to look up to as well. ? I'm grateful finding his new home away from home was so easy! Thank you Susan and Sansa!”
