“Rachel was the best! My pup felt right at home! She is very caring, responsible and treats your dog like her own! I will definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”


“Bentley loves his vacation stay with Carole! And we love the fact, that we never have to wonder if our Bentley is doing ok. He is treated like a 👑king!”


“As always, my dogs were well taken care of while under Sean’s care. His willingness to continue to watch my rowdy bunch is appreciated. My dogs are always so happy to go and tired when they’re back home.”


“We cannot say enough great things about Linda. She greeted us at the door. She welcomed us into her home. Greeted our little westie, Simon. He was there with 3 other dogs. She sent us pictures and let us know each day how Simon was doing. We r from South Carolina and went back to Michigan to visit friends. Right from the beginning, my experience with Rover was exceptional. We will definitely use Rover again. We have told our friends and family about our experience with Rover. We did leave a tip with Linda. We insisted. Again thanks to Linda and to Rover.”



“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”


“Gabriella is the best! Very communicative and always takes great care of wynnie while I am gone. I will continue to use her when I’m out of town!”


“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”


“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”


“Toby, my dearest little 8lb. Cheweenie fur baby does wonderfully with Pam and her small fur baby crew! I am so grateful to have Pam and her fur family to care for Toby. He has a blast. Pam always goes above and beyond for Toby. Moreso, Pam is very intuitive and provides for Toby his likes and preferences such as his favorite sunspot, placed bed in front of heater vent, food preferences. Huge she let's him sleep with her at night as that is what he is used to with me. Upon picking Toby up, although he is always happy to see me I can very much see he has bonded with Pam and her sweet pups and cats, making his stay very nice and positive experience. Pam and her fur babies have become like extended family as Auntie Pam and his fur cousins ❤️”


“Felix has some of that 'dog whisper' magic. He was generous with sharing his home and love while watching our dog. We can tell our dog felt secure and relaxed while under his care and had some fun of his own while we were away.”


“We always have ease of mind when leaving our pups with Jacob. He does a great job of communicating and prioritizing the safety of the dogs. We can count on him giving our dogs playtime, exercise, and much affection!”


“Terry & Chuckie are the Best! They took excellent care of our baby girl while we were away and made sure to send us daily updates with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend them.”


“Molly was wonderful and took great care of my spunky toy aussie! My dog got along great with Molly’s dog, and my dog doesn’t always get along well with bigger dogs. Molly sent pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. She also took my dog on plenty of walks, so my pup was tuckered out when she got home. Highly recommend Molly’s services!”


“Ru D was an excellent babysitter for Dakota. Ru sent me daily updates and Dakota looked very comfortable in her surroundings. I would 100% recommend her. Thank you Ru”


“Suzanne was amazing! She took great care of our puppy during her first time being boarded. Lots of pictures and updates which made us feel included!”



“Donna was so wonderful with my little old man, Howie. I had never left him for more than a day or two at a time, so I was nervous to leave him while on a family vacation. I did a meet & greet with Donna prior to Howie's stay and my nerves were instantly calmed. She's incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell both she and Leela (Donna's dog) love opening their home to other furry friends. Howie was very well taken care of and I will definitely come to Donna with any future dog-sitting needs!”


“Yancie was great with my dog Dayton, and was flexible with scheduling as plans took a few twists and turns with our visit to Michigan. Recommended!”


“Fantastic Dog Sitter - Highly Recommend Megan! We recently had Megan watch our two dogs, Stella and Queenie, and we couldn't be happier with her service! Megan did a wonderful job keeping Stella and Queenie active and engaged. We could tell from the photos and updates she sent that they were getting plenty of exercise and enjoying their time with her. This was particularly important to us as both our dogs have different energy levels and needs, and Megan handled it perfectly. Beyond just keeping them busy, Megan was incredibly attentive to their individual needs. It was evident that she genuinely cared about their well-being and went the extra mile to ensure they were happy and comfortable. We especially appreciated the thoughtful updates Megan sent. They weren't just generic check-ins. These updates really put our minds at ease while we were away. Without a doubt, we will absolutely be using Megan again in the future and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and truly caring dog sitter.”


“Jess (and her pup) are the best and easiest to work with! My dog loves staying with them. Plus Jess is organized and proactive and friendly. Perfect combo!”


“Joshua knows what he’s doing and took great care of our dog while on vacation. Plenty of photo and video updates eased any worries! Will definitely book again.”
