“Our schedule was erratic and included my mistake in scheduling. Sima and her family were gracious hosts and worked with our schedule. I received updates on how our doggo was doing everyday. It has been a pleasure working with them, I would definitely consider them next time we are in town.”

“Keqi was a wonderful pet sitter for my cat. He had a great visit, and loved getting the extra attention from their other cat. Very responsive and flexible sitter. I would highly recommend!”

“Adrienne is a true dog lover. She was sweet and patient with my large (and overdue for a bath) Golden, and sent pictures and a video! It was so helpful to put us at ease. He was calm and happy when we picked him up. ”


“Ali was sweet and sent us pictures of our pup while she dogs at over a weekend. She was friendly with us and our pup in our introduction a few days before our weekend away and provided great care while we were gone.”


“Elizabeth was a great choice to care for my dog Dunkin! She let him make himself right at home in her space and sent consistent pictures and updates allowing me to have great peace of mind while away. Would recommend!”

“Breanna was awesome! She was very accommodating and asked great questions to make sure everything was accounted for. Ruby seemed very happy and comfortable with her from the start. Thank you for making the weekend so easy!”

“Tia and family is truly amazing. My pups stayed with her for a week and her family was going through so much but she made sure to take amazing care of my babies. Tia is truly an animal lover and it shows! I will be lucky to be a repeat client of hers!”


“Victoria was amazing for taking in my pup at the last minute and still providing amazing service! I sometimes get self conscious when I ask for too many photos of my pup while we're away, but Victoria sent photos and videos whenever I asked with no problems! My dog also can be somewhat shy with new dogs but she took the time to do separate intros to the pack and made him feel comfortable. I could tell in all the videos and pictures he was at ease! He came back to us happy and tired from a fun night. We will definitely be rebooting when we need!”

“Lucas did a great job watching our two dogs while we were away. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly. We’d definitely trust him to watch them again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter”

“Augusta is so kind and I appreciate her taking great care of my baby boy. She communicates well and sends picture updates which are much appreciated. My Russy feels comfortable at her home and I’m grateful for Augusta’s hospitality. 😊”

“Justin was great! He took great care of my dog, giving her multiple walks and play sessions, providing updates throughout her stay. His dog Watson was a great companion for her. I appreciate that he only takes one dog at a time, providing dedicated care while dog sitting. I would have Justin watch my dog again.”

“Denise is awesome! She is kind, communicative, and thoughtful, and provides a friendly and healthy environment for pups. Was great about sending updates and photos daily so I got to see how happy my dog was in her care. We’d love to book with Denise again.”


“Coralee and her family took great care of Bear. Her dogs are very playful and friendly. It was so nice getting updates everyday and seeing how happy he was playing with them all day. I will definitely be calling Coralee next time we go out of town. I’m sure Bear will be very excited to go back!”

“This was my first time using Rover after recently adopting my dog, Brick and it was such a great experience. Ellyn took great care of Brick during his 8-night stay while I was on vacation. She sent me daily updates with photos which made me feel at ease. When I picked Brick up, it was obvious he had been loved and well cared for during his stay. He came home happy and relaxed. I truly appreciated the attention and care Ellyn and her family gave him, and I never had to worry while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Ellyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Krista did an amazing job watching our dog, Max!! She kept us up to date with pictures and videos, and checked in when she had questions about Max. I would highly recommend working with her, it was a great experience for both us and Max!”

“Mike is one of the most genuine dog sitters I’ve ever trusted my dog with. My dog enjoys the outdoors so I’m glad he took her to the park, on walks, and on an adventure hike. I would absolutely recommend him!”

“Tamara was an excellent sitter for my little dog! I will definitely book her in the future! I'm not sure my dog even wanted to come home. She was comfortable there from the get go! Tamara also went above and beyond when my dog grabbed a chicken bone thrown in the grass.”

“Eronda was amazing with my puppy. She constantly sent pics of her playing and socializing with a cat and numerous dogs. My puppy seemed very happy when we picked her up. Eronda was in constant contact throughout our vacation. I would recommend her to anyone!”

My partner and I were both immediately calm after dropping Link off at Krista’s for the first time. We even kept saying that was the least worried we have ever been dropping him off anywhere. Krista’s calm confidence is so reassuring, she isn’t afraid of any quirks a dog might have and handles them well. I loved her fun updates including pictures and videos during Link’s stay. That was most relaxed I’ve ever been while away from him (which is not easy to do). She truly cares about your dog and treats them like her own. I hope to use her time and time again in the future!!!

Adrienne hosted my 2 dogs in her home for 4 nights/5 days and took wonderful care of them. She was committed before and during their stay to learning their needs and personalities and strove to make their stay healthy and enjoyable. From her daily messages, photos, and videos, it was evident that they were comfortable and even better having fun! She was also incredibly gracious and kind when I picked them up later than planned after an unexpectedly long journey back home. Adrienne is very skilled and experienced in dog care, and I highly recommend her.
Valerie K is a star. We have a complicated little dog with anxiety and a difficult past and Valerie was so patient and kind with him. She allowed us to schedule doggy day care days ahead of our big weekend away so that our dog would feel comfortable and safe with her ahead of the trip. She sent us adorable photos and videos of our old guy getting snuggles and going on adventures. She was a dream to work with, very professional and personable. We hope to work with Valerie again!

Bryn and Carson were AMAZING while watching our 2 year old havanese for four days while we were out of the country. I very much appreciated the attention to his routine and the frequent photo updates. Benny loved Boots and we will be booking them again for any future sitter needs. Thank you SO much!

Ava was wonderful to work with - would highly recommend!! She boarded my two rescue girlies for a week and made sure they had everything they needed to settle in quickly. She gave me consistent picture updates, always answered quickly when I checked in about something specific, and was very flexible about the reservation. She administered medicine twice a day for one of my girls and followed their daily schedule. Most importantly, I know they were loved and treated like if they were her own pets 💗 Will definitely be rebooking!

Apoorva was simply incredible watching our labradoodle! He can be a little anxious when we are gone and requires 2x daily meds, and Apoorva handled everything incredibly. He received lots of outdoor play with the ball (which is his favorite!) and belly rubs. Thanks to Apoorva he had a great time and so did we while we saw the sites in Pittsburgh!

I truly appreciated the attention and care Ellyn and her family gave him, and I never had to worry while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Ellyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!

Elizabeth did a phenomenal job with boarding our dog, Dolly. She was incredibly responsive and updated us frequently while we were on our trip. She was caring and treated Dolly like her own. We are so grateful that we had the peace of mind that Dolly was well taken care of while we were abroad. Thank you so much Elizabeth. We hope she can stay with you again in the future!

Elizabeth is amazing! She was able to accommodate us on only a couple days notice and made it very convenient for us to hand off our pup. She is really experienced with anxious dogs like ours, and was really considerate to all of her specific needs. She provided pictures and updates every few days so that we could feel at ease that Snezka was getting along with the other pups and relaxing in her home. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.

Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Daily updates with pictures provided so much peace of mind while away. Cam paid great attention to my dog’s quirks and preferences, with clear effort to keep everything comfortable and familiar. Genuine care and thoughtfulness made all the difference. Highly recommend!

As always, Riley is so great to our Dexter. Dexter was excited to spend time with Snowy last week and I’m so glad that he gets to have friend time. Riley keeps Dexter active with many walks for which he enjoys. My time away from Dexter is stress free knowing that he is in good hands with Riley and Snowy.
