Karen did a wonderful job taking care of my large dog during a long weekend. When I did an initial meet and greet with Karen and my energetic and somewhat excitable dog, her calm demeanor and knowledge of dogs put me at ease. During my pup's stay with Karen, he enjoyed a long hike through a beautiful park and rolled around in the grass in her enclosed backyard. Karen even got my dog used to a new, gentler harness. From what I could tell, my dog had a great time with Karen!

Another great stay with Karen & Hisako. My puppy got a little sick during his stay, but Karen and Hisako took great care of him and kept me up to date. They got him back on his feet and he was happy as could be when I picked him up. Thanks again for such wonderful care!

Mariola is such a sweetheart. She is great at communicating and our pups look like they had the best time with her. Mariola sent us pics everyday and let us know exactly how our dogs were doing. If we weren’t moving we would have Mariola be our Rover all the time!

April is by far one of the best rover sitters I have ever encountered. We decided to do a meet and greet beforehand. April was so very in kind in letting myself and little Kobi come into her home. This was a first for me as all of my previous meet and greets were done at a park, on a walk, etc. this allowed for me to see where Kobi would be staying and give some ups on his behaviors, etc. She was so very generous in answering all of my questions and I felt so much at ease knowing that I was able to give her a proper download well in advance. Kobi stay went swimmingly! I received a lot of photos and updates. April kept me up to date with the going’s on and made sure to run things by me as the days progressed. I feel so very fortunate to have found her and I can’t wait to book with her again! Do not hesitate to use April as she will take great care of your little one.

The hype about Sara is 10000% true!!! I left my baby boy with her for 2 weeks after only having him for 2 months, and though I missed him, I never had a moment of worry because I knew he was in the very best of hands (and paws) with her and Soba!! Sara kept me updated very regularly and sent me such wonderful photos. She's a super transparent and effective communicator, and obviously has a special touch with dogs. My pup had so much fun playing, adventuring, cuddling and relaxing with her! She really went above and beyond in terms of being so attentive, working with his training, and making sure he had a super enriching time while I was away. I'm so grateful that she took the best care of him. As long as Sara's available I will never consider another sitter!

It was clear at pick-up that our dog, who can be picky with people, absolutely loved Claudio. We were kept up to date with texts and photos about how our pup was doing throughout his stay and I could tell that Claudio really cared about the pups he was watching. I would highly recommend Claudio to friends and family who are looking for a dog-sitter. Five stars!

Jessie did such an amazing job with Stitch that we almost felt bad picking him up. he was there over Christmas so she made him a special stew (that worked for his allergies). She took him on hikes in the hills and to fenced dog parks so he could run off leash. She sent lots of pictures everyday. We initially felt leaving Stitch for so long to go visit family over the holidays but after seeing what a great time Stitch had with Jessie we'd have no hesitation diong it again. Thanks Jessie!

Natalie has a small female Cavapoo and it's been a delight to observe the way she interacts with her and cares for her. We have a small male Coton de Tulear, and Natalie has spent lots of time taking care of both dogs. She clearly adores dogs, and finds them inherently enjoyable to be with. She is super attentive and devoted in the way she tends to their needs, making sure they are thriving and happy. When taking them on walks, she is always on the lookout for potential problems or dangers (for example, other unknown dogs approaching on the sidewalk), and she is quite cautious until she is able to be certain the new dog is well behaved and friendly. At the same time, she simply loves playing with both dogs, and they come running for her whenever she's been away and comes home: they love her as much as she loves them! She is the perfect person to take care of a dog: caring, responsible, thoughtful, devoted, attentive, and fun.
