“We had such a great experience with Andrea! She went out of her way to make sure Ollie was comfortable and happy during his stay. She sent tons of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We never had to worry because she was so attentive and clearly cared about his well-being. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Mary again, and once again, I couldn't be happier with the care my dog received. My dog absolutely loves visiting her and spending time with her dog~it's like a second home for her. During this visit, I was anxious leaving her as my dog had an injured leg and required extra care to monitor her walking and restricting her activity. Mary was incredibly attentive, ensuring that my dog was comfortble and following all the necessary precautions. I always feel so confident and at ease leaving my dog with her, knowing she's in such good hands. It's rare to find someone who treats your pet like family and that's exactly what Mary does. I cannot thank you enough for all the love and care!!!”
“She was great! It was my boys first experience outside of his house and I was very nervous. She kept me updated, sent pics and updates. Super experience with Laura! Highly recommend!”
“Had Tory watch my spoiled 13yr old Shih Tzu for a week. Looking to find a reg dog sitter that would be able to care for his long hair and feed him ( picky) give his eye meds and probiotics . She was consistent in sending pictures of him outside and on walks . He loves the outdoors . She kept me informed of how he was and how well behaved he was . It was a comfort to know she is reliable and kind! Will definitely use her again !”
“This was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Hongjun was very responsive and accommodating. Her and her family were so sweet and caring to my dog.

“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Cynthia is the best! She loves our little Olive and treats her like family. It is always hard to be apart from our sweet girl but when she’s with Cynthia we know she’s being cared for so well and being spoiled with affection and attention.”
“Lauren and her family are wonderful caregivers for our 2 dogs. She provides daily updates with photos and obvious loving care for our pups. Walks were provided when weather permitted and a fenced backyard for outdoor exercise. 10/10 would recommend and use again!”

“Michael was incredibly understanding when our plans changed unexpectedly. We had to travel on short notice for a funeral, and he made sure to send his condolences and let me know he was available to help in any way he could. Throughout the time we were away, he was very responsive and kept us updated regularly. We received photos of Daisy at least every six hours, which really helped ease our minds. It was clear she was happy and having a good time, especially since she was included in playtime with his dogs. We truly appreciated the care and attention Michael gave her, and we will definitely reach out to him again for future trips when we can’t bring our fur baby along.”

“Denise was wonderful with Abby. Abby was having some problems and Denise knew just how to take care of her.

We recently had a Rover visit for our dog, Bam, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear he was in great hands. Bam had an awesome time—plenty of play, attention, and love. The sitter sent regular updates with photos and videos that showed just how much fun he was having. Bam came back happy, tired (in the best way), and clearly well-cared-for. It’s such a relief to know he’s being treated like family when we’re away. Highly recommend this sitter for their professionalism and genuine care. Bam will definitely be back for more visits!
