“I couldn't be happier with the care Christina and her family provided for my dog during Thanksgiving week! They kept me updated with pictures and videos, which reassured me he was in great hands. I truly appreciated that they allowed him to sleep in their bedroom and were so understanding of his initial sadness and nervousness. Thanks to their love and attention, he returned home happy and relaxed—quite a difference from his previous experiences. I will definitely be booking with Christina again in the future!”

“Gwynne was amazing to work with. We were first timers and she made everything so easy. We have a 130 pound lovable goofy Great Dane and Gwynne is very comfortable with big dogs. While Luna was there over the holiday Gwynne had a full pack big to small and they all looked happy! Gwynne has a nice yard for them to run around. We ran into Gwynne with several dogs at the beach earlier this month and all the dogs were happy and under control. She sure has a way with them. Gwynne is super communicative. Very easy drop off and pick up. We think Luna enjoyed Camp Gwynne so much she was disappointed to come home. She climbed into her bed and literally slept 2 days. We will surely use Gwynne again. Peace of mind for us. Ecstasy for Luna. Thanks Gwynne!”

“Robin is a lovely person who took excellent care of our dog. She kept us updated on everything and I could tell our dog was comfortable and relaxed when we returned. We will definitely be booking with Robin again!”

“Irene was wonderful! She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our baby, and was always quick to respond. She was also very flexible with meeting, and for pick up and drop off. Would absolutely leave our princess with her again!”

“Anner was very accommodating. The dogs were very happy with him. We did a trial run for an overnight stay to see how they managed. They were happy dogs. When I dropped them off for their stay they were both excited. Thank you Anner, you have two fans. I will definitely use your services again.”

“Charlotte and family are the best ! Accommodating, easy going, and super communicative during the stay with photos! Philo had the best time and wasn't eager to come home haha. Thank you again!”


“I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.”

“My dog had a fantastic time at Jodie’s — her dogs were very friendly and he fit in immediately, and he definitely had a great time playing with them because he slept hard when he got home! He’s a rescue and can be a little touchy sometimes, but when I picked him up he was snuggled up in Jodie’s arms like she was his new best friend.”

“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!”

“Coming to Madalys is Mango’s favorite vacation! She is the BEST. I get the cutest pictures from her. And he always comes home so happy, he is always so well taken care of!”


“Julie was very nice and quick to respond to any questions we had before or during our dog’s stay. She even sent some updates to let us know our dog was having a good time. Definitely recommend using her!”

“Hazard took great care of my dog. She sent consistent photos and videos, and even sent 2 pet reports! Willa was happy and in great shape when I picked her up. I would definitely use Hazard again!”

“I had my dog, Dodger stay at Lynn's house for one night recently, and I couldn't have been happier. I recently adopted a very friendly and sweet, but very nervous, scared mutt and was worried about leaving him with someone he didn't know. I had a meet and greet with Lynn prior to my night away, and her sweet dog, Doris, and immediately I knew Dodger would be fine. Doris is a great doggie host and Dodger immediately started playing with her. The night of his stay, I got a text from Lynn updating me that Dodger ate dinner and relieved himself - neither of which he does if he's even slightly nervous so I knew he was doing just fine. It was so nice not to worry about him. When I picked him up after his overnight, he was frolicking with Doris in Lynn's fenced in backyard and having a great time. I highly recommend Lynn. She's super friendly, flexible and laid back. Her pup, Doris is full of energy and nothing but fun for doggie guests. Lynn's son lives with her and is excellent with dogs as well. I will definitely book again!”

Great overall experience! Thank you Jack for taking such wonderful care of our energetic baby Rex. Thank you also for the daily updates and videos, it was most comforting being so far away and being away from him for the first time. I would reach out again to Jack/Rover immediately if we are ever in need again.

Robin was excellent, she took great care of Julie for 9 days, she was very attentive, gave Julie her daily medication and took her to lots of walks. I believe Julie felt very loved during her stay with Robin and her family. I appreciated the fact that Robin only had Julie to care for, instead of accepting many dogs at the same time. I definitely reccomend Robin as a sitter.
