“1st time using Laura’s services and i must say she was amazing. She was very polite and professional. She took great care of my dog while i was gone and was accommodating. Her setup and grounds were great. She communicated each day with pics and updates. I will use her next time i need her services for sure… thanks again…”


“Lily took great care of our senior dog Norman! She and her family kept in great contact with us, and met our little guy at his energy level - providing cuddles, soft beds, and calm outdoor time, but also willing to take him out for more adventures when he was up for it. They made sure he integrated well with their sweet dog. We'd absolutely her to watch him again!”


“I'm so overjoyed and relieved I found Gaileen and her family. I am new to using Rover. In the process of looking for a sitter, I ran into unreliable sitters and sitters who were not a match for my pet and I. From the meet and greet to after my dogs first overnight Gaileen and her family put me at ease. At the meet and greet, she was professional asking preferences for my dog's comfort. Once the stay occurred, she messaged me with updates and pictures throughout the day. By the second visit, my senior dog seemed comfortable and happy to be there. She is a responsible , caring and professional sitter. I'm truly happy to have found her.”


“Annette provided wonderful, loving care for our 2 year old dog, Sweet Pea. She treats the dogs with the love and care she does for her own. I wouldn't hesitate to bring Sweet Pea back again.”


“Nicole was great with our 2 French bulldogs! She took great care of them, and they loved her dog too! I’d absolutely recommend Nicole if you need to board your dog.”


“Hazard took wonderful care of our boy Vinny! She was incredibly responsive, sent updates with photos regularly and most importantly Vinny was very comfortable staying with her and her family. We were so happy with the care and attention he received. We would highly recommend her pet sitting services to anyone looking for a responsible person- we were not worried at all while we were away. Hopefully we will be able to get away again for a few days-if so, Hazard will be hearing from us again. She was just wonderful- thank you Hazard!! ❤️”


“Rusudan provided excellent care for my boy Stax. Stax is a senior dog who requires medication and also has some mobility issues, due to his arthritis. Rusudan cared for him, as if he were her own. Tending to all of his needs. Rusudan provided me updates throughout the day helping to reassure me that he was well taken care of. Stax had an amazing time and we will be sure to rebook with them.”


“Contacted James kinda last minute. We met that evening and I dropped my dog off the following night. He must've had fun cause when I picked up up the following evening he was tired from all the playtime. Would definitely use again”


“Kathryn is probably the best Rover sitter we’ve had (and we’ve used some lovely sitters). Our dogs are anxious when they’re left, and Kathryn really helped them feel at ease - her fenced yard was perfect and they just seemed to trust her. I’d highly recommend booking your pet’s stay with her!”



“Perfect home away from home ! Seems he had great fun and definitely did not seem stressed at any time, given that this was his first time here. Every little thing requested around his food, rest and habits were taken care of by the host. What more can we ask other than this kind, caring and loving care and friendly human company ?! We will definitely look you up when in need of care.”



“Maria is just remarkable! Our little Dixie had hurt her back right before we left - not easy on a mama's worrying heart, but Maria kept extra tabs on Dixie with her medications and exercise. And I think my other doggie, Cleo, maybe had too much fun with Maria as I don't think she was ready to leave when I picked her up - which means Maria is fantastic! Thank You Maria!!!”


“We were so lucky that we had found Gwynne as a sitter for our Molly. We spent the weekend away with no worries . Gwynne kept us updated with pictures , and text messages all weekend long. Some of her great pictures we could see that she made Molly part of her family. Gwynne keeps her house spotless clean and organized too. Molly came back home calm and happy. We even notice that Molly was missing the love and action around Gwynne and her family. Thanks for the great care . Alswanger’ Family”


“Christina always makes my pup feel at home and she shows him so much love and attention. She always sends me updates and makes me feel so at ease when leaving Milo with her. Highly recommend her for all your puppy sitting needs 🐶❤️.”


“Ashley is an amazing dog sitter. From the moment I met her and saw her interact with my dog, I knew he would be in good hands. We boarded him with her for 6 days—the longest we’ve ever been apart—so we were a bit nervous. But Ashley’s care and communication let me truly enjoy my vacation, knowing our dog was happy and safe. I loved receiving daily videos and photos, and she even included a bit of training, which I really appreciated! When we returned, our dog was healthy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend Ashley enough—she’s reliable, caring, and truly a dog lover at heart!”


“They took great care of our dog. She loved running and playing in their large fenced in yard, as evidenced by the photos and videos they sent us (which we much appreciated). Will definitely use them again.”


“Gabriela has been very kind and loving to our Benji. He loves going to her house and feels very comfortable with her. Tomorrow will be the third time she helps us take care of Benji.”


“Highly recommend. Makylia is great. I’ve contacted her with short notice and she was able to take my pup in for day care and boarding. She was very responsive and gave me a peace of mind with picture and photo updates. You can tell that she really loves taking care of animals.”


“I had an amazing experience with Jourdyn! From the very beginning, she had great communication, maintained professionalism, and it was wonderful to see that I found a sitter who truly cared about my pup Leo. Jourdyn sent pictures and gave updates throughout the day, and I really enjoyed the videos of her spending quality time with Leo. I can’t say enough great things. I highly recommend her and I hope to work with her again in the near future. Thank you Jourdyn! - Shar and Leo”


“Jennifer takes such good care of my little girl every time she stays with her. Whiskey loves her home gets plenty of exercise and lots of cuddle time. It’s so nice to have peace of mind when you’re away. And I love the daily pics too! Thanks!!”
