“Alicia was awesome! Her and her husband are so warm and welcoming. They made me and my dog very comfortable, which gave me great confidence the stay would be great. Alicia sent me pictures and videos throughout the stay, which I appreciated. I’ve already scheduled to use Alicia for the next stay!”


“Angela was a blessing! We were gone for 10 days and being new to the area we were so worried about leaving our pups. She took the very best care of our pups and they seemed very happy when we picked them up! We will definitely used Angela again and we highly recommend her. She is very loving and experienced and we could not be more pleased.”


“Erica and Dylan were great with Winston! They took him on lots of walks and even trips to the dog park. They sent lots of photo updates which is always nice! I would definitely book again.”


“I am extremely happy with the dog boarding service. She was incredibly nice and took great care of my dog, keeping me updated with pictures throughout. My dog was well cared for, and I highly recommend her service to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with Xavi! I usually judge people based on how much my dog likes them. My dog stayed with her a few times and every time he sees her it’s like he forgets I exist 😂 he absolutely loves her!”


“This was our first time using this service, and we were initially so nervous about leaving Hiro for five days. Andrea and Izabella tag-teamed to care for him, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Hiro has a quirky eating routine—he gets fed by an automatic feeder at 2:30 a.m.—and when the system had to be reset, Andrea and Izabella even offered to set an alarm to feed him manually. That gesture alone meant so much to us, even though we later resolved it. We received daily photo updates, and it was heartwarming to see Hiro mingling for the first time—especially as they took great care in slowly introducing him to his “long-lost brothers.” Knowing he was so well looked after gave us true peace of mind. We’re already planning another longer trip in July and will definitely be booking their services again. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of Hiro!”


“Gretchen does an amazing job time after time. I will continue to have her watch my little dog as long as she will be on Rover. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect dog sitter!”


“Owen has watched my baby several times now and I have 0 complaints! He sends pictures and videos during her stay and she gets VERY excited when we pull up to his home. I’ll absolutely be booking with him again in the future.”


“Emily graciously watched my dog with short notice. I enjoyed the detailed updates with photos/video. She did a great job with food and medication instructions. Drop off and pickup were easy and fast. Her home is calm with lots of space for an active pup. Recommend and will book again.”


“Mariah was such a sweet hostess for our pup! She was incredibly responsive, sent photos, and seemed to genuinely love on our dog. Our dog was also obsessed with Mariah’s dog. Such a great experience- we will be rebooking!”


“My puppy had such a wonderful weekend with Rosario and her husband! I happened to be heading out of town and had to find a sitter last minute. They were able to accommodate him with such short notice. My 7 month old puppy is a big ball of energy, but nothing they couldn't handle. They have two dogs of their own so he was able to better his social skills while staying at their place too, big plus! Rosario sent me multiple photos and videos every day which was such a nice touch. She even gave him a bath after he played in their sprinklers! She also sent him home with homemade doggie treats that my picky puppy just gobbled up! They really cared for him like he was one of their own which definitely put my mind at ease! Book your fur baby's stay with Rosario and her husband, you won't be disappointed!”

“Roxy had a wonderful stay! We got lots of pictures and updates and she looked like she had a great time. Would definitely use Alexis and Sean again for future stays.”


“I highly recommend Remy! Remy is so great with our fur baby Lily that has very bad separation anxiety. Remy treats Lily as if she was her own fur baby. Remy constantly kept us updated on our fur baby with messages, photos, and videos which I loved. Remy and her pups are absolutely amazing. I am so great full that we found someone like Remy someone who is great with dogs, understanding, kind and patient. Know other sitter was willing to accept our fur baby until we found Remy so book her NOW!!!”


“I had my dog boarded for a few days with Kathryn. She was absolutely amazing with my pup Finn. She provided lots of updates a photos the entire time! I know my pup was loved and taken care of! 10 of 10 and I would recommend her for your next booking!”


“We had an amazing experience with our dog sitter and his wife! They cared for our puppy for a full week, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. This was our pup’s first time away from home, and he was definitely out of his element. But they were so patient and kind, taking the time to help him adjust and feel comfortable in a new environment. They also kept us updated every day with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they watch. I highly recommend their services — 10/10!”



“Maria was awesome with our senior pup! She saved our trip when our booked sitter was not responding to messages a few days prior to the sit start date and I'm sure he was better taken care of then he would have been. Will definitely use Maria again should the need arise. Thanks Maria for the peace of mind knowing our pup was well taken care of!”



“He has been a great dog sitter and I’m happy with his fast responsiveness. Also love that she is allowed to roam the house and mingle with other members of the household!”
