1. Samuel P.
“Samuel is a great sitter for Pils. He accommodated her activity requirements, taking her out on hikes and walks. She was happy and healthy at pickup. We would book him again.”
2. Tracy D.
“Tracy was great! She got Yoshi to eat on the first day, which is very rare, so I know he was comfortable. She sent lots of pics and communication seamlessly. Great sitter, highly recommend and will use again!! ❤️”
3. Jesse & Kimmy R.
“They were both so awesome and helpful. Extremely organized, they had a checklist to make it easier to be sure that everything was packed. They went above and beyond, grooming my long haired poodle, giving her a cute bandana and a packet of goodies. Ana, my dog, had a great time, and I can't say enough good things.”
4. Kelly C.
“Kelly and her partner were great! Dottie came home happy and seemed like she had a good time. They were flexible when we had to unexpectedly do a later pickup time. Thank you Kelly!!”
5. Margaret B.
“Had to leave my 6-month fur ball for the evening. On just a few days notice, Margaret asked great questions about my dogs background and made sure we’d all be comfortable. My dog got great care, got some additional training practice, and had a friend- all of which was documented in photos that she shared with me during and after the visit. Thanks so much and we can’t wait to visit again.”
6. Kevin & Sarah W.
“Kevin and Sarah sent me so many updates and beautiful pictures of Kylo while we were away. Kylo was scared at first to be separated and they were so good about keeping me updated on how he was doing. I’d definitely recommend them!”
7. Hector & Shannon R.
“Hector and his girlfriend did a fantastic job watching our 4 month old puppy Koda! They sent loads of photos and kept us up to date on everything, which was very reassuring, as this was the first time we were away from our pup since we brought him home. Would certainly book again!”
8. Ahmyah H.
“Ahmyah was very sweet and very enthusiatic to take care of our pups for our weekend get away. Very comforting to know they were in good hands. Thank you Ahmyah for taking care of Thunder and May!”
9. Step C.
“Step was great with Ichigo! I was so happy to hear that Ichigo had a great time with his dog Hugo and his family as well. Highly recommend and will definitely come back!”
10. Candi V.
“I'm deeply grateful for Candi and Gianmarco. They helped me and my dog out at a time when a lot of things went haywire, and rolled with all the twists and turns with compassion and grace. Most importantly, Priya had a wonderful time with them. She's shy and they didn't rush her, letting her open up at her own pace. Candi sent plenty of updates and it was wonderful to watch Priya settle in and get comfortable and affectionate over the course of her stay. When I picked Priya up, while she was happy to see me, she also went back to get attention from Candi and Gianmarco, which was so great to see (rather than wanting to leave asap). I'm glad that Priya got to make some great new friends, and I'm glad to have the option to book with them again in the future. Thank you again!”
11. Jifu Y.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Gifu look after my Golden Retriever, Maya, while I was away on vacation and I would definitely recommend him to watch my pup again. He took the time to understand Maya’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences, ensuring that she felt comfortable and well-cared for. He provided updates, which reassured me that Maya was in great hands. Maya was happy and healthy when I returned so I recommend Gifu to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. He exceeded all my expectations and made my time away stress-free knowing that Maya was receiving the best care.”
12. Ann M.
“Ann was awesome! I could tell she loves dogs and she took such good care of my puppy. Ann was also great at communicating and keeping me updated. I highly recommend her.”
13. Ji An L.
“Ji An was an incredible host for our dog Mabel. She updated us regularly, provided our dog with tons of exercise, and had creative and memorable daily activities. She even went above and beyond with yummy homemade treats! Highly recommend Ji An and would love to have Mabel stay with her again.”
14. Benjamin P.
“Benjamin was great with our dog Baxter. The walks and cuddles definitely won him over. Baxter has a big personality and Benjamin seemed to know just what he needed. When it was time to go to the car, Baxter turned around to follow Benjamin instead of us!”
15. Melissa C.
“Melissa was so good with our poodle Stormy. She was able to read our dog’s requests and moods to ensure Stormy’s comfort. Not always an easy feat! Melissa kept us well informed about Stormy’s chronic eye issue. And she also sent pictures and stories every day. Very reassuring. At the end of the visit, Stormy watched Melissa walk away, which means Stormy felt an emotional bond with Melissa. ❤️ Would not hesitate to book with Melissa again in the future!”
16. Victoria S.
“Vicky is an animal lover at heart! She took great care of our pet family of 2 large, stubborn dogs and 2 cats while we were out of the country for a little over a week. She was gentle but firm with our doggos. That’s a quality I always look for in a pet sitter because they’ve been known to get in fights with eachother when they don’t have strong leadership. They had no issues with Vicky. All of our care requests were followed and everyone was happy and healthy when we returned home. I will request Vicky for future pet sitting needs!”
17. Charlotte C.
“Charlotte and family were amazing rover hosts! Great communication and could tell how loved our pup was in their care. Will definitely request Charlotte again!”
18. Meiye W.
“Meiye did a wonderful job taking care of our little dog that required special care as it was his first time away from home. He really seemed to enjoy her company. She was very quick in responding to messages, and she followed instructions very carefully. Meiye is great with dogs and any pup would be fortunate to be in her care!”
19. Allsun H.
“Allsun was amazing! My dog is very energetic and active and after a night and a full day with Allsun she was tired out and didn’t want to leave. I will definitely use Allsun again and I can tell Milli can’t wait to go back.”
20. Yi F.
“Incredible experience, Yi did a phenomenal job and Ziba and Cairo became best buds over the weekend I was away. Yi went above and beyond getting Ziba outdoor exercise time, and sent frequent updates with photos and videos. She so clearly cares deeply for animals and clearly has a talent, we’ll be return customers. Thank you so so much!”
