1. Michelle I.

“Michelle was an absolutely amazing host for 10+ days with my Shiba, who can be finicky and requires daily oral medication for her seizures. Michelle went above and beyond taking care of Pepper. She sent me videos and photos on their walks and constant updates. Very responsive. She even made special accommodations due to me extending my vacation halfway through the original booking. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and would recommend her to anybody who loves their pet like family.”


2. Bonnie S.

“Bonnie was very sweet and took such great care of William for us while we went away for the night! She is very friendly, sends updates, took him on his daily walks & even got in a bonus play date! So thankful to be able to go away for the weekend and not have to worry too much about leaving William behind. Would highly recommend!”

“Our pup came back healthy and relaxed upon being picked up from Marty’s place. Marty really seems to enjoy what he does and no dog is a challenge for him. Love that he is located near a park where I know he can take our pup on dog walks as needed. Would definitely recommend Marty and hope we can use him in the future for our pup sitter needs! Also thank you for flexible pick up and drop off hours, super helpful for us!”

“Maggie is amazing, she is so sweet and took care of our dog Buddy really well. Buddy had fun playin with her dog Millie in all the videos and photos Maggie sent.

17. Susie W.

“We needed to board Thomas, our 10 year old cat, a first, while we moved. I found Susie through Rover. I liked the idea of leaving him in a home. Susie was welcoming and understood what we shared about Thomas. She kept in touch with us during the 3 days and 2 nights he stayed with her.. Her daughter, Willow, spent quality time with our shy kittie & was able to encourage him to emerge from his hiding place. Overall, we would happily use Susie again. We thought Thomas was very, very well cared for.”


18. Amanda & Jaime S.

“Arlo had an amazing stay at Amanda’s and Jaime’s place! They were really good with keeping me updated and sending pics. He had a blast with their dog, Oliver. I believe they are best friends now! He’s been sound asleep since I’ve brought him back home. That’s definitely a good sign! :)”
