1. Victoria K.
“Very impressed with the care and attention Victoria gave my dog. As a veteran on Rover I have experienced many sitters and Victoria is one of the best I’ve had. I truly had no worries leaving my dog with her as she cared for her as I would have. Wonderful communication with videos every morning and evening while always asking all the right questions to be sure my dog was always happy and comfortable. We have found our new sitter. Highly recommend!!”
2. Christine B.
“Christine takes very good care of my Winnie. She's reliable and communicates all the things you want to know along w pictures. I've had Winnie stay with her multiple times and will rebook in the future.”
3. Richard T.
“Richard was great. Very communicative and sent pictures every day. My dog was very happy - albeit exhausted from all the playing :) - when Richard dropped him off to us. Will definitely ask him to sit again in the future.”
4. Nelia & Brett M.
“Wow, we are soooo happy to have found such a caring, trustworthy, and communicative family to care for our dog! Nelia cared for our dog for 5 nights and gave so many great updates and pictures throughout, took lots of walks, and treated our dog like part of the family. Her home is super secure with a great backyard, and we had peace of mind knowing our dog was having a fun and relaxing stay. It is always hard to leave our girl, but knowing she was in such good hands and getting lots of love made this the best experience. We are so grateful to have a wonderful go-to for our pup!”
5. Michael H.
“We are so happy with our dog's care by Michael and his wife while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dog is a nervous dog so they paid close attention to her and she settled in nicely. They sent us updates every day with a photo. We will definitely use them again!”
6. Amy C.
“Amy is very flexible and responsible dog sitter who took good care of my pup over the holiday week. She sent me pictures and explained what my pup did throughout the day. We love Amy and will be using her for future dog sitting needs.”
7. Tia D.
“Tia was an absolute perfect petsitter for my dog Finley! She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent updates including photos and videos, and made sure that my boy was getting lots of attention and playtime in the backyard. Tia’s dog Tang was a fantastic companion and playmate so Finley was spoiled having a canine friend around. Couldn’t have asked for more!”
8. Piper W.
“Mia seemed really happy with Piper and her family. Piper was super responsive, easy to communicate with, and flexible in terms of drop off and pick up. I would definitely leave Mia with her again.”
9. Sebastian O.
“We have asked them to watch our pups for the past few years now and they are absolutely wonderful sitters. Sebastian and his wife really spoil and give our dogs the attention and care they deserve all while keeping us updated on their stay. As a family of 5 with 3 small children, I think our dogs really enjoy the break they get when staying with Sebastian 😅. They are our go to sitters and we can’t thank them enough for all the love and attention they give our pups!”
10. Kathleen K.
“Kathleen was so great with Milo! I was nervous to leave him for 6 nights but Kathleen made Milo feel right at home and sent me video and picture updates through my trip which helped ease my anxiety. I will definitely leave Milo with Kathleen again in the future!”
11. Kirsten S.
“Kristen was absolutely amazing! My dog was sssssooooo comfortable with her and the other pets. Even made friends with a kitten!!!!! Love her! Will definitely be reaching out to her again!!!! THANK YOU 😊”
12. Ryan N.
“Ryan is fantastic with our picky (and occasionally reactive) pup!! He’s attentive and so knowledgeable about dog body language and behavior, and that was evident from our pre-boarding meet and greet! She got along so well with his dogs, and he kept us updated on how she was doing throughout! She came so happy and tired (from play and exercise)! She loved Ryan and his pack, and he will definitely be our go-to from now on!”
13. Shannon & Mikayla W.
“Shannon and Mikayla were incredible sitters for our Velma. Velma is a 3 years old GSD and lab mix. She was happy at the drop off and pick up. We received periodic updates and photos during multiple weeks stay. They were very accommodating extending the stay for one day due to my flight delay. A pleasure to interact with them. Velma I was happy. Thanks”
14. Jacqueline O.
“I would book again! She's was very attentive, sent me pictures, and provided a recap of the day for me. She was also very responsive and answered all my questions. 😊”
15. Xiang & Scott L.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for almost three years and I’ve been loving them my entire life. My partner grow up in a household with dogs. And we both love these furry friends! We only take one dog at a time to make sure they get enough love and attention! Hypoallergenic dogs only though due to my allergies Me and my partner live in a house and have ample space for the dogs to run around. We also try to take our dogs to the park once a day, it’s important to keep them active! Our work is flexible and often works from home. I have one standard poodle at home. She’s the most chill and friendly dog ever. She works well with almost all types of dogs. But please let me know your dogs allergies, temperament.
16. AJ O.
“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”
17. Matthew S.
“Had a great experience with Matt, from the Meet n Greet and the drop off, to the pick up and everything in between. Matt was very responsive and kept in touch during Mayzie’s stay, assuring us she had adjusted fine, and sending us photos. She’s visiting again in two weeks so I’m relieved that Mayzie has a safe and comfortable place to call home while we are away. Excellent experience overall! I did not worry about my dog’s care because I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to leave their pet in a safe, fun, attentive, welcoming environment. Thanks, Matt!”
18. Jada W.
“Jada was very accommodating and we appreciated her calm, relaxed approach - especially with our high- energy pup. Very good communication, too.”
19. Bianca & Ryan W.
“My husband doesn’t generally relax while our pets are in the care of others, but not this time! Bianca and Ryan were so thoughtful sending photos and videos, that Paul was thoroughly able to relax on this trip.”
20. Christina B.
“Christina and her husband treated my pup like she was their own. Having multiple updates and photos was a blessing. We’ve found Harley’s new home away from home! Thank you!❤️🐾”
