“We thought our energetic Border Collie mix might spend her vacation with Christine feeling sad and anxious, but Wiggly loved Christine's comfortable home and she especially loved socializing with the other canine guests. She played so hard with her new friends that Christine had to call occasional time outs! We will definitely book with Christine again.”

“My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!”
“Third time for Daisy and Charlie to stay with Andy - and when I dropped them off, they ran to go get a walk! Great care and communication with Andy. I'm so glad that my dogs are safe and busy during trips. Thank you, Andy!”

“Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.”

“Erin is excellent. She took great care of my girl (my dog), responds quickly to questions and kept me updated with respect to how my dog) was doing. My dog seemed very content and relaxed with Erin. I highly recommend Erin and would use her again to take care of my dog.”

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Erika was prompt in responding and was easy to connect with. She treated Arthur to many walks and visits to the parks. All the things he loves. He came back happy and like his old self. Def will rebook”

“Lucy and I had a great experience with Evan and his wife! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous, but Evan sent me updates with pictures frequently, giving me peace of mind that Lucy was in good hands! I highly recommend Evan for dog sitting and will definitely book him again!”

“Our dog absolutely loved her stay, and as an anxious dog mom boarding for the first time, I appreciated the daily check-ins more than you know!! Thank you for the amazing service”

“We’re so grateful for the care our sitter gave our two pups during their stay. What began as a few days of boarding turned into a longer stay because of an unexpected medical emergency, and she was incredibly kind, flexible, and accommodating the entire time. Knowing our dogs were safe, cared for, and in good hands brought us real peace of mind during a very stressful situation. We truly appreciate her compassion and would absolutely trust her again.”

“Kerstyn was wonderful with Rexy, and he had a great time with the other dogs. She sent regular updates and pictures, and took him on his first real run. Will use Kerstyn again!”


“Our second stay with Leah. Everything was perfect from the drop off, individualized pet care, pick up and easy communication throughout the entire process. My normally nervous dog felt at home with Leah. Highly recommend! Thank you, Leah!”

“Emma did an amazing job watching my dog. She was easy to coordinate with for drop off and pickup and very responsive to texts. She also did a great job of sending pictures and providing updates of how his stay was going. I would highly recommend Emma and will def plan to reach out to her again for future trips requiring an amazing dog sitter!”

“Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!”

“Ewelina is very attentive and ensures my girl gets to stay active. Amoura adores Ewelina and is excited every time she sees her. I truly appreciate the daily updates and will continue booking with Ewelina whenever possible.”

“Katherin is the absolute best!!!! She went absolutely above and beyond caring for Hugo. She took him on lots of fun adventures everyday, including to nearby coffee shops, dog parks, and long walks to Georgetown. She also attended to an unexpected medical need and sent detailed updates everyday, which gave me such peace of mind. Thank you Katherin, Hugo was so lucky to have such a fun vacation with you!”

“Amal is such a gem! She did a wonderful job making sure Rumi had a lot of fun and a lot of love while I was away. Rumi had no anxiety during her stay and was happy and comfortable in all her photos. I highly recommend Amal, you can rest assured your pup will be in the best hands!”

This was my first time using rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. John was reliable, communicative, and cared about Bella well being. I would receive updates and photos which gave me peace knowing she was good while I was gone. Bella was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. John would take her on daily walks which Bella loved. Great service would recommend!!!!

Erin is a just wonderful. Super kind, was great to chat with, very loving with my dog, and overall a great person. I got updates and she is very sweet understanding with drop off and pick up. I will be hoping she is available again and would recommend her to everyone.

Jeremy and Yilien are wonderful sitters! We had done a meet and greet beforehand and it was clear that our two dogs would feel right at home. They were really communicative and provided pictures of our dogs. We have already re-booked with them and look forward to using them in the future.

Leila was so so great watching Pixel for us while we were out of town. She sent so many updates and pictures. We could tell Pixel was comfortable and had a good time with Leila. She even went above and beyond by dropping Pixel off at our place for us. We will definitely use her again!
