“Sarah took excellent care of our Jackson while we were away. Her communication was great, and she sent the kids photos of our pup when they were missing him. We will definitely use Sarah again, the next time we need a sitter!”
“Tiffany was exceptional. This was our first time leaving our dog with her. Immediately, I knew Marty would be well taken care of upon our first meeting. Tiffany is very loving, cuddled with our pup, provided scratches, and threw the ball for him daily. With the regular updates with photos and videos we were at ease our entire trip. Would definitely book with Tiffany again!”
“We reached out to Yanhong due to a last-minute cancellation by our normal pet sitter, and they were the quick ot reply and accept our request. Each time I reached out, they were as swift to get back to us. We only had a few days to find someone who was open during the holiday weekend! Charlie seemed in good spirits when we picked him up. Really a lifesaver! Thank you so much!”

“We had an amazing experience having Madeline board our dog while we were out of the country for thanksgiving week. She was so friendly and responsive throughout his stay; it was reassuring to get regular updates and know our dog was in great hands and was being kept busy. I actually think our dog was a little bummed to be leaving her when we picked him up! We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

South River City dog parents share their Rover experiences
Katie was great with Koko! My usual sitters were booked for the week, so I was thrilled when I found Katie’s profile and she was able to step in. Her reviews speak for themselves! She clearly takes wonderful care of her furry clients. She responded promptly and even agreed to meet for a quick introduction before Koko’s stay. Throughout the week, she sent daily updates and pictures of their adventures, so I always knew how Koko was doing. I’ll definitely be using Katie’s services again and highly recommend her!
Jamie is amazing! My dog has separation anxiety and had never been left before. She howled for two hours when I dropped her off, but Jamie was able to make her comfortable and turned it into a wonderful visit. Great communication and lots of pictures and updates. Jamie will be my first choice the next time I’m out town. I highly recommend her.
Mason did a fantastic job watching my dog, Oscar. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Oscar’s well-being. I appreciated the updates and photos while I was away, and Oscar came home happy and relaxed. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mason again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter.
