Amazing Service. Karina was very caring and responsive. She kept us informed with text message with pictures of how the day was progressing with our dog. She was even able to get him to eat regularly — which has been a problem at times. We highly recommend Karina as a Dog sitter and only which she were available to usnear our home in Florida

This family is absolutely wonderful. They watched our two dogs for the first time for 6 nights. One of my dogs is a senior and the other has epilepsy and needs medicine twice a day. This family took great care of the two of them and sent me daily updates and pictures. I will definitely book again with them!!

Christina was great with our Trixie. She was very attentive to her special needs and very understanding about our concerns leaving our dog for several days for the first time. She kept us informed how things were going and was great administering meds as needed. We have already requested to rebook. Christina has a lovely home and family. Your dog will be safe and well cared for with her.

Elizabeth and family took such amazing care of my baby girl that she didn’t want to leave. Elizabeth’s communication with us was top notch keeping us updated through Lizzie’s stay, which helped ease our anxiety about leaving her. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth to take care of your pet, she was terrific!

Kara was amazing!! Going through a lot and I needed someone to take care of my two cats. She took them last minute and was so caring from the get go! One of my cats is very shy and he felt at home right away! I ended up extending the time because of my current situation. Will use her again!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just want to start off by saying, never judge anyone’s profile just because they haven’t gotten the opportunity to sit more dogs than others. Gaileen and her family were absolutely amazing. From the first meeting they were nice, understanding , and very welcoming. My Klee Kai Xura felt so happy and safe. Every single step of the way Gaileen sent me photos, daily updates on xura status and behavior and performed her duties as a sitter. I just want to thank them so much for their hospitality and I will definitely book them again soon

Noemi and Dave did an incredible job pet sitting my two elderly dogs. One of my dogs can be a bit shy and anxious but he felt right at home with Noemi and Dave. They were incredibly responsive and sent frequent updates and photos. It was clear that my pups felt comfortable and were well cared for by Noemi and Dave.

Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!

First time with the strangers, and it was a success! Our old lady was in top condition when we picked her up! Stefanie sent us updates/pictures every day, it was nice to see Ozzi being calm and comfortable. They even provided our dog with a rug for walking over the hardwood floors. Just shows how much they cared! Thank you!

We cannot say enough great things about Jennifer! From the moment we left our dog in her care, we knew he was in the best hands. She was incredibly attentive and truly in tune with his personality and needs, which gave us such peace of mind. What really stood out was her communication — she reached out every single day with updates and photos, so we always knew how he was doing. Seeing those pictures of him happy and comfortable made being away so much easier. She didn't just watch our dog, she genuinely cared for him. As a pet parent, leaving your dog for an extended period can be really stressful, but Jennifer completely eased those worries. She treated him like her own, and it showed. We came home to a happy, healthy pup who clearly had a wonderful time. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, loving, and goes above and beyond, look no further than Jennifer. We will absolutely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She is truly one of a kind!

Tatiana took great care of our Ricky boy for 4 days. She was attentive to detail, sent lots of photos and treated him like her own. Ricky is usually slow to warm up to people, but took a liking to her immediately. He also loved the fully fenced yard to run around and play! We will definitely be booking again.

Esmeralda was amazing with my dog max. She made him apart of her family for the week he was with them. She sent me text with videos and pictures. There wasn’t one moment I felt unsure about her watching max. She kept me informed and reassured me that max was in safe hands. We would love to have her watch max again in the future.

Whenever Natalia watches Maya, I always feel completely at ease knowing Maya is in the best hands. Natalia is incredibly responsible and attentive, and her two dogs get along wonderfully with Maya—which is great since Maya is only 7 pounds! Despite her small size, I never worried for a second. Natalia is also wonderfully communicative in the best way possible. She sends frequent updates and lots of adorable photos, which always put my mind at ease and shows just how happy and well-cared-for Maya is while I’m away. You can tell she truly loves and understands dogs. Knowing that Maya is not only safe but actually enjoying herself makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have found Natalia and will absolutely continue to trust her with Maya in the future!
