Fathia was so awesome! She took such great care of Thelma and welcomed her into her family! She was warm and attentive and fun and was so joyful having Thelma with her. Got great update pics and feedback and Fathia had such a warm, confident and competent vibe, which is so important when you are far away. She gave Thelma the TLC she deserves and i would not hesitate to have her care for her again.

Joseph was very communicative and shared pictures of our pups with us daily. He followed all directions we gave him and made sure our pups feel at home under his care. I would recommend Joseph as a pet sitter and would entrust him with watching our pups again in the future. Thanks for taking care of our babies!

Katherin was AMAZING with Wrigley, so thoughtful and attentive. We received very thorough updates and she was quick so ask any questions she had. We had a bit of a snafu with her food and Katherin went above and beyond to make sure she had the right stuff to get through her stay. She was also very flexible with pick up and drop off which made everything with Wrigley’s stay super easy! Will definitely be re-booking for any future Wrigley needs!

Abigail did a great job caring for my dog over the 4th of July weekend. I was able to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. As a bonus my pup had a great time playing with sweet Stella. Abigail was easy to coordinate with, gave regular updates and also was very knowledgeable about dog play styles/dog behavior. Highly recommend!

Janel was the BEST! We booked with her just a few days ahead of time and she was so accommodating and communicative. It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience. Janel made sure our pup, Cassidy, was loved and cared for. We received pictures and videos of Cassidy throughout her stay. It is clear that Janel and Harvey do this for their love of dogs! Janel even went out of her way to return something we had left at her house. We would DEFINITELY book with Janel again.

Would 100% recommend Christina she made my baby boy feel comfortable and safe. He had such a great time I could tell from all the pictures and especially when I picked him up. He’s only 7 months old, still potty training, a picky eater and this was my first time leaving him with anyone else so I was EXTREMELY worried but Christina took such great care of him, ensured he was comfy at night time and could sleep well and he didn’t miss a meal which is amazing as sometimes he refuses to eat. Thank you so much Christina!

Rut was absolutely phenomenal! I could sense her expertise from her well-crafted profile page. I have specific care instructions for my dog, and when I dropped him off before my trip, I noticed that Rut had already printed out the document to have a hard copy on hand. Throughout the day, she sent several updates with all the details I requested, confirming that she was diligently following my dog’s routine. Rut’s kindness and clear experience as a caregiver were evident in every interaction.

Aleyna and her husband are the sweetest! They are very communicative and send tons of pics throughout the stay. This is the first sitter where Harley acted like she wasn’t ready to leave at pickup 😱 I have absolutely no worries when I drop her off. So glad I found these two 🫶🏽 I’m moving a little further out but they are worth the drive whenever I need a sitter again.

This was my first experience with Rover and my first time using Jackalyn. From the start, she was helpful with answering my questions since I am new to the platform. The communication throughout this process was clear, and she was responsive. I never needed to reach out to her as she kept me up to date throughout the stay. I appreciate the love she's shown my dog and feel confident that she will be our staple sitter from now on.

Nicole was amazing! She has been a great communicator, took pictures of my dog and some of those are my favorites of my doggo right now, and when she thought my dog might have an injury she let me know to call to see what I felt the next steps were. My princess looked so happy within Nicole’s care and she had fun with the other pups too. Thank you Nicole!

Rebecca was an incredible host! When our flight home got severely delayed, she was communicative and saved the day by keeping our pup one extra night. Even better, she took him on an early morning walk before we picked him up, delivering an extra snuggly, sleepy dog. She also sent updates, including pictures, health updates, and notes any changes in behavior. You can definitely tell she’s experienced!
