“Left my Basset for a week and he had a blast. Very responsive and friendly provider who went out of their way to make it easy. Already planning another trip now that I feel so comfortable”
“Aurelie gave our two dogs a happy environment for a week while we traveled, and she gave us peace-of-mind with thoughtful updates, pictures and videos. The pups were relaxed and cheerful when we picked them up, so we know they enjoyed their stay. We appreciate her so much!”
“Maellin was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter; she had excellent communication across the board. Sharing updates and photos of Navi every day. I could tell from the photos that she took such good care of her, Navi was smiling, and really warmed up to Maellin, which she doesn’t do with everyone. It was over the 4th, and Navi was quite nervous about the fireworks. Maellin took every measure to ensure her greatest ease and comfort, bringing her into their bedroom and turning on some background noise to help drown it out. Maellin is also a wonderfully sweet human; she will 100% be my first choice anytime we need care for Navi.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Holly and Robert! They take such amazing care Margaux, every time I’m away. Margaux is very loved, so it gives me complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such capable, compassionate hands. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup — and I love getting photo updates while I’m gone! It’s clear they genuinely care about Margaux’s well-being and go above and beyond to keep her routine consistent. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible, loving, and reliable pet sitter.”
“Second time staying with them and we are just as happy as the first time! Our kitty was well taken and care of and clearly loved from all the picture updates we got. She honestly didn’t want to come home! We travel a lot and will definitely book again!”
“Mike is an incredible Rover and I would highly recommend him for any type of dog. Beaux had such a great time and I can’t thank you enough for watching him”
“We hit the jackpot when we found Mereya and Justin! They are excellent to work with, super nice and accommodating. Our Frankie loves to play with their Ko’ba. They sent us the best pictures theoughout Frank’s first visit, and we have a new booking already in progress.”
“Rebecca was so fantastic with our dog, who can be a little shy with strangers. She was so insightful and attuned with him. She figured out how to help him feel comfortable and he ended up playing happily in the yard. We especially appreciated it since we got in touch last minute. She is wonderful and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“Liz was so great caring for our dog for 4 days! She was responsive, sent me lots of pictures and details about his day and genuinely seemed to care and love him. I will definitely use her again if we need a pet sitter”
“Sam is amazing! I was really nervous about leaving my pup with a stranger but as soon as she opened her door, all of my nerves faded. Oakley was immediately welcomed by the family and dogs. He made friends and Sam sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. This was way better than putting in a kennel and we will certainly be going back to Sam! ❤️”
“Great care for our dog and good communication. We met a couple times before to make sure our dog was compatible with her and her dog- very accommodating. Large yard and convenient location were other favorable points. Will definitely rebook.”
“Another great stay! Pat is always so considerate in accommodating our drop off and pick up times. Sandy knows as soon as i pull up where she is and cant wait to get out of the car! Sandy is our 10 yr old Lab - has some health issues - diabetic - and i really appreciate the amount of knowledge and care she gives our girl. Pat fully understands her need for consistant eating times, insulin shots, her need for special help going down stairs outside. She watches her carefully and called to alert me that she was showing sign of possible UTI - she was correct and treated immediately. Sandy loves the attention and enjoys the little dogs that like to run around , up, over and around her! Sandy is now more of an observer than a participant - but fully enjoys the fun. Thank you Pat for making us feel so comfortable when we are away -we can relax when she is with you....i really appreciate the love and kindness you give your guests. ”
“She loved my dog like he was family. I was hospitalized for 44 days and she sent updates with texts and pictures. I was even able to set up zoom meeting to see my dog at one point in my recovery. Alexandria is so kind and even let me hug her and thank her for being like family to myself and my dog when I picked him up on day 44. I could go on all day about how wonderful she, her husband, and her kids were to my dog. I am so happy that I knew he was in good hands while I was away for such a long period of time. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alexandria for short or long stays. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“My dog loved staying with Leslie & James, it was very apparent in the pictures/videos I received! Thank you for taking such great care of my pup - my mind was definitely at ease while being away!”
“Laura and her partner have a large and nice outdoor space for the dogs! When my elderly but high energy dog, Dimitri, went to stay with them, he promptly became part of their pack! Laura sent me pictures of him going on walks with the other dogs on the trail by her house. I can tell he was very active while he was there because when I picked him up, he was out! He said hi to me, but then was soon snoring loudly. One quick note: given my dog is a largely indoor dog (we do not have a backyard), I did have to clean him off a bit once we got home. But I can tell overall he had a great time!”
“Joshua was great with our dogs. He has a big backyard with lots of room for play and relaxation. He was good at keeping us informed on how our dogs were doing and even sent pics. Love that he took the time to make sure our dogs got a walk daily. Will definitely use him again!”
“When our dog sees me getting his travel bag (treats and his blanket) he gets excited because he knows it’s time to go to Marcelle’s to hang out and play with her dogs. It makes me happy to see him happy. Thank you, Marcelle 😊”
“Rebecca did an amazing job with Red! She was extremely responsive and accommodating before our stay and sent lots of photos and updates while we were gone. I really appreciated how she went above and beyond during Reds stay. She will be my go to next time I need a dog sitter!”

Sawmill dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our booking with Peggy was so great -- she was very responsive and we met her beforehand to meet our pup Lumi, which made us feel really comfortable leaving Lumi with her. She has a safe backyard with high walls, which also made us feel more comfortable (our dog can jump things!). Peggy sent us lots of photos and checked in several times. She really treated Lumi with so much love -- letting her on her couch and sending the cutest photos. Highly recommend Peggy, she is great!
Pat has been amazing as a pet sitter. She is professional but also takes a personal interest in the health and well-being of every client, furry and non. My dog tends to be higher on the anxiety scale but is always comfortable and calm while she's there and even when I pick her up. I highly recommend Pat, have used her pet-sitting services a few times already with great success, and will continue to do so.
Patrick and his family were extremely kind, courteous, and followed all of my instructions. While I missed my two dogs very much, I had no worries while they were in Patrick’s care. I got pictures and updates regularly and pick up/drop off was easy and flexible. I’ll definitely be requesting Patrick’s care for our next trip!
Carlota was very nice and welcoming to my dog and cat. She was able to take them in with short notice over a holiday weekend and we are very appreciative. I did have to message her every day first to get an update on the animals, but she was typically prompt in answering. She obviously cares about animals very deeply, just needs to work on some communication.
