1. Zwany & Leandro C.
“This was my second time boarding with Zwany and Leandro and as always they were amazing!!!! They had my dog for over two weeks as I was traveling and they sent updates every day as well as very cute pictures. They are also some of the kindest people I have ever met and so generous with their affection with my dog. I wouldn’t have anyone else watching him!! 5 stars!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
2. Anna W.
“Anna boarded our cat for over a week. She was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She treated our cat as if he were her own and we felt peace of mind while he was in her care. She administered his medication three times daily and let us know each time she did. Her photos and videos were so cute and very high quality. We can tell our cat was happy and loved. We cannot recommend her enough and will definitely hire her again the next time we need boarding! Don’t hesitate to book with her 🐾”
3. Tyler S.
“Tyler took great care of our lab while we were away and sent a couple photos a day. He came back happy and cared for! We’ll definitely book with him again.”
4. Brendan V.
“I couldn't be more pleased with Brendan! This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad I found him. He was incredibly attentive to my dog Kobe's needs and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. Brendan kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. He went above and beyond to ensure that both Kobe and I felt completely comfortable. I highly recommend Brendan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter for your fur baby!”
5. Victoria B.
“Victoria is awesome. I always get pictures of Bert while we are away so I know he's doing well, and he's always happy when we pick him up again. She even covered us when we forgot his bed this time. Our #1 sitter hands down”
6. Rebecca Y.
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
7. Rachel S.
“Rachel was an exceptional dog sitter. My dog LOVED staying with her and was very happy when I returned home. Rachel kept in constant contact during my trip and sent lots of pictures! I highly recommend her to anyone who has a dog that they love!”
8. Wanda R.
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
9. Sonya L.
“Sonya clearly went above and beyond to care for our doggo, Thule. Thule had daily walks and runs in the dog park, yoga sessions, bath time, hang time with new buddies and a trip to the dog treat store! Thule woke up way earlier at her house and Sonya was so kind and understanding about it. We would ask her to watch Thule again in a heartbeat!”
10. Laura S.
“Laura was amazing with our one year-old black lab. She took him on walks and to the dog park every day. She sent us so many wonderful pictures and looked like Oakley was having the time of his life. We enjoyed our vacation and think Oakley had an even better time staying at Laura‘s house!😀”
11. Lindsay P.
“Lindsay took such great care of Barney! She was extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times and provided updates throughout the stay! Would highly recommend!”
12. Lily S.
“I was thrilled with the attention and care my pup Izumi received from Lily. This was my first time leaving my somewhat nervous pup, however from the first meeting and drop off day, I knew he would be in good hands. Lily was communicative and accommodating, sending me many updates on all of his adventure while I was out of town. Between the walks, naps and play - Izumi always looked like he was having a great time, which really put my mind at ease. I cannot thank Lily enough for her exceptional care and service and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, understanding and compassionate dog sitter. Izumi is looking forward to his next visit!”
13. Edward & Shyana H.
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ed and Shayana while visiting Boston. From the moment we met them, we could tell our dog Gus was in great hands—he warmed up to them right away, which immediately put us at ease. They were incredibly kind, hospitable, and communicative throughout Gus’s stay. We received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, several times a day. It was clear they were not only attentive to his needs, but genuinely cared about his comfort and happiness. Gus also had a blast hanging out with their sweet dog, Isla—an added bonus! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. If you're looking for a stress-free, loving environment for your pup, Ed and Shayana should be at the very top of your list. We can’t recommend them highly enough!”
14. John C.
“Hunter had a great overnight stay with John. John took him on several walks and made sure he was fed and comfortable. Our dog sometimes gets anxious and John knew how to calm him. John gave us regular updates and photos. We appreciated the reporting for Hunter's very first overnight with him. TY John!”
15. Rachel A.
“Rachel took great care of my dog, Ivy! She sent lots of updates throughout Ivy’s time with her, which I appreciated having never left Ivy with anyone from rover and Ivy having separation anxiety.”
16. Caitlin C.
“Caitlin is such a friendly and awesome person and so great with dogs! She always goes above and beyond, ensuring my pups feel comfortable and loved. Highly recommend Caitlin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!!”
17. Dayna C.
“I'm so embarrassed for leaving a late review. Dayna was fabulous. I really wanted Molly to be with other dogs on her stay and found Dayna. Dayna kept in touch and let me know things were going great. Molly came home happy and healthy. Thank you so much.”
18. Linda K.
“Linda was great, and made my Harley feel at home. She even came home smelling better than the day before when I dropped her off lol (her house smells amazing)”
19. Courtney M.
“Courtney was great!! So nice and easy to get in touch with. I felt great leaving Chip with her and will use her again!”
