1. Margarita G.
“Margarita was amazing with my Dog Ms. Charlie. I was nervous about using rover and finding the right care our older dogs needs. I truly could not have asked for a better experience. Margarita has great experience caring for dogs and helping pups with attachment challenges or anxiety feel comfortable and at home. I will definitely be using her when my family is vacationing and need to leave our pup for boarding. I would give her six stars if I could!!”
2. Raheem L.
“Raheem is warm and friendly and my boy Nippy took to him immediately. We were grateful for his availability when we had to make a last minute reservation due to travel. He was accommodating when we needed to extend Nippy’s stay. Overall I would recommend Raheem to take care of your fur babies.”
3. Yvette T.
“My pups had a great time and were well taken care of. Yvette has a great house and yard perfect for the dogs. She also sent lots of pics thru out their stay. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her.”
4. Jessica F.
“Jessica was fantastic! I received pictures of every activity in addition to updates on feedings, sleep, potty, training and play time. Kian came home nice and tired after a day and sleepover full of fun! I will absolutely book again.”
5. Alexis M.
“Alexis was great. I was in a rush to find a sitter, and she responded to my call for help almost immediately. Her updates were also prompt. Unfortunately my dog got a little sick after I left, and Alexis did a great job of watching over my dog, keeping me informed, and never complained. So much compassion working with my dog and me. Thank You, Alexis!”
6. Isbath L.
“Once again, thank you so much to take care of our furry family member. It is Honey 2nd home, thanks for your patience and spoil her as much as we do!”
7. Ahmad H.
“My dog was in good hands with Ahmad. He made sure to play with my dog and ensure that he felt at home during his stay. Would definitely book again and my dog would agree.”
8. Victória B.
“Amazing service as always!”
9. Lucas & Katherine H.
“Lucas and Katherine were great. Our dog had never stayed overnight with a sitter. They allowed him to sleep on their bed, take him out in the car so he wouldn’t be by himself, and even gave me some useful insights. They really love dogs.”
10. Melodie H.
“Melodie was AWESOME!!! She treated our Trinity like family. Melodie communicated with us daily with updates and photos. We’ve used pet hotels in the past, and it usually takes days for Trinity to get back into the swing of things and be her normal self, upon picking her up she was her usual ball of energy! :) I know my pup well, and she was truly happy with her stay, and so were we. We will definitely be checking Melodie’s upcoming availability for the remainder of the year, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a safe and secure, but also caring/loving space for their fur kid. I can be a nervous and most times overprotective pet parent….So I’m glad we met Melodie, as I said at the top of this review…..She’s AWESOME??????”
11. NAN Z.
“Nan is a warm and caring person, and one of the best pet sitter I’ve ever met. She not only takes excellent care of the dogs but also provides them with companionship, making them feel completely at home. The nearby park is convenient for playtime, and unlike some dog sitter ，she gives dogs plenty of space to roam freely. Her family also loves dogs and treats them as friends. You can trust Nan wholeheartedly with your dog’s care.”
12. Rachel S.
“Rachel was very accommodating in regards to the time for picking up our Cookie as we were going to a baseball game nearby. She also responded to my texts in a timely manner and sent a pic of our girl. Rachel, and her boys, showed a passion for watching others' dogs. I would highly recommend her for drop offs.”
13. Jaimie G.
“Jaimie, is amazing with her warmth, care and open communication. She provides constant updates and responds well. We will absolutely will be using her services again.”
14. Parth P.
“I highly recommend Parth! He took excellent care of my dog while I was away. I appreciate his flexibility in his schedule as I had to change the pick up time of my dog due to a delayed flight. Will rebook again!”
15. Erica H.
“Erica really cares about your pets. She was so attentive of our dogs while they stayed at her home overnight. I received regular picture updates and Erica was very responsive when contacted. I will be using her again in the future.”
16. Neil & Nicole P.
“I always feel good leaving my dog with Neil & Nicole. I know she is well taken care of and love the photos & updates they send while I'm away.”
17. Jia C.
“Jia and her sister were amazing with Tito and Morty! I got regular updates, she went above and beyond with their care. Can’t thank her enough. She genuinely loves animals ♥️”
18. Megan & Nick M.
“Megan & Nick are THE best. They welcomed our 3-yr old American Staffy into their home and took excellent care of her for a week. They will be my go to for sure and I can vouch for them without reservation!”
19. Jessica P.
“Jessica was the absolutely best caregiver for my dog. I feel like my dog didn’t want to come back home due to the amazing care that Jessica provided. The updates and pictures flowed through all week and it appeared my pup had a better vacation than I did! I will 100% use Jessica again to care for my dog. Jessica was professional, very friendly, and the perfect choice for my dog Boots. Thank you again Jessica!!”
20. Julie Y.
“Julie and her family took amazing care of Honey, giving her tons of love and making her feel right at home while we had to be out of the country. We got frequent updates and pictures and Honey came home looking super happy and healthy. 10/10 recommend and will definitely book with Julie and family again soon!”
