“Lajetta took such great care of our pup noodles while our family went on vacation. She treats our pup not just like a dog but like a little human! She provided a luxurious room for our pup with plenty of toys and walks. I loved seeing all the pictures she sent us everyday and always responded promptly to any messages I sent. Noodles got to socialize with other small dogs her size which was wonderful. Gotta to admit a little jealous how much my puppy loves her in such a short time.”
“Rover is a fussy dog and maybe a little spoiled. Juan was courteous and thoughtful and contacted us when Rover's physical conditions and behaviors would change. He kept us updated with Rover's progress until they subsided. Rover was a bit distant at the beginning, which is our dog's nature, Juan was able to draw her out of her shell and became more interested in paying with Juan and he earned her affection. We will use Juan for our next trip where we cannot bring Rover.”
“We love Debbie!! She is always dependable and takes great care of our dog. She also was so communicative and flexible when travel threw us curve balls and made sure we were able to reconnect with our dog after a long day.”
“I have an old cranky rescue that is slow to warm up to new people, so I was very nervous. Peter was not only able to do a meet with her before we confirmed the 10 day boarding, but he was wonderful with her the whole time we were gone! I appreciated the daily updates, and all the pictures of them having fun together. Thank you Peter, you are a lifesaver!”
“Jocelyn took great care of Lola. Communication was excellent, and she provided regular photo updates. Lola got along well with Jocelyn's two small dogs and seemed to really enjoy herself there. We will definitely leave Lola with Jocelyn the next time we are away. Highly recommended!”
“Heath and Amy were wonderful! They took great care of Eloise and were patient and attentive to her timidness with new people. I appreciated the communication, updates and photos. Eloise got along great with their pup and they played and enjoyed each others company. I will book Eloise a stay with Health and Amy again in the future! Thanks again for taking care of my sweet girl.”
“This was my second time using Chava and once again, a total pro and wonderful caretaker of Roxy. Roxy, a very nervous and anxious rescue dog, was excited to go back to Chava's and much more comfortable the second time around.”
“Alex is great! Super responsive. Great availability. Wonderful home and yard for cookie to romp around in. She is patient and underStanding about my sensitive dogs needs and truly an animal lover! Cookie was so excited to see her again so I’m very glad she is in good hands :)”
“Ron was great! Very calming and seems comfortable around a variety of dogs. Our dog had a wonderful stay that included a trip to the dog park and came home tired. Thanks so much, Ron!”
“We had such a great experience with Brett and Angela! They were so attentive to our dog Leo. They sent regular updates and were very patient with him as he got use to being in a new space. They were also reliable and easy to set up a time to meet. We will definitely book again and highly recommend.”
“Another wonderful visit for Maggie with Dawn! She's the best! Maggie is so loved and cared for while she is here. Endless play and lots of walks. Not a thing to worry about while she's with Dawn.”
“Lisa is wonderful! Always sends videos and photos daily and takes the pup on walks every day! She's great with him and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Elizabeth was a fantastic dog sitter for my sweet, sensitive girl! She sent fun pics during my trip and reassured me that Hannah was adjusting well to the family home and enjoying lots of cuddles and walks. I highly recommend Elizabeth to take great care of your pup.”
“We have booked Don and Melody on multiple overnight occasions to watch our little/big guy. They provide high quality, loving care and we continue to be grateful to have found them on Rover! Thanks again!”
“Barry was a wonderful dog-sitter--he sent photos of my dog on walks and chilling in the house. I felt confident that Ripley was cared for and I could focus on my out of town activities. It's a bonus that Barry's own dog could also keep my dog company. I would re-book again!”
“Sandy is very personable and knowledgeable about caring for small dogs. Even though our dog is shy and has little experience around other dogs, she did well in Sandy’s care. Will definitely use her again.”
“Best dog sitter ever! My 2 collies are part of my family, and I wanted to find a home where they were treated like family. Kate did this, and went above and beyond taking such great care of Bailey and Levi! I will definitely reach out to her again the next time I go out of town.”
“Annika, John, and Pepper were great with our pup Lemon. She’s very shy and takes a little bit to warm up, but she was cuddling with them in no time. They were very communicative and sent us updates so we were never worried. And Pepper is a perfect, well behaved playmate. :)”
“Elaine was great at taking care of my dog. I was away for 2 weeks on a trip and my usual sitter could not watch her for one of the weeks. Elaine kept me informed and sent some photos. Definitely would recommend.”
“Our Cavaliers loved staying with Amy. Her home was accommodating, and they seemed very comfortable with the family and her dogs. My dogs immediately made themselves at home and I'm sure would eagerly return!”

Dawn is a dedicated and conscientious professional. When we left our little dog with her, he was a bit under the weather, and hadn’t been eating much. Due to Dawn’s TLC and care, she got him to eat daily. His health has improved, and he’s more active than before his stay with Dawn. Thank you Dawn.

Lenny loved his stay with Don and his wife! I could tell from the minute he walked in their home he was comfortable with them and their dog Cody. Don sent multiple pictures every day and I could tell from Lenny's eyes and body posture he was happy and well cared for. Cody is also a gracious canine host ... it was super sweet how he welcomed Lenny and they hung out together in the house and on walks. Thank you so much!
Nothing but absolutely wonderful things to say. They were willing to care for one of my babies that has some intense anxiety and were so good with her that she even accepted treats! Instructions and requests were followed perfectly. The amount of communication was just right: a little update here and there and some pictures to show everything was alright. So much patience when one of my dogs had some tummy issues. Would more than happily book with them again!

Jocelyn was wonderful, creatively ensuring that Benny took his medication and that he felt comfortable and a part of the pack. She sent photos every day and gave me updates, communication was outstanding. Thanks so much for taking care of my little man! 100% would use again!

Caroline was wonderful, and super responsive before and throughout the stay! She asked great questions to help my high-energy pup settle right in for the week, and made sure to send plenty of pictures too. Cricket came back cheery and rejuvenated from her holiday too, and I’m sure would love to go back for another stay in the future.
Kristin and Atticus and Moxin were wonderful! I had a bad experience with a prior sitter and was so nervous to leave my dog again, but she was given such good care and I got lots of updates, which I needed for peace of mind. I will absolutely bring my dog back to them again!
