“Katina did an amazing job and will love your pet like it's her own. My dog stayed with her for a week and Katina sent multiple pics and daily updates. She took her to the dog park and on walks, in fact my dog had so much fun playing while there that she came home and slept for like a whole day:) She has two little dogs that make perfect playmates and a gate to separate them if need be. One of the dogs she was watching accidentally chewed a little on my leash and walking belt and Katina went the xtra mile and had new ones ordered before I got home with no charge! I have found the perfect sitter and will definitely use her again.”


“Zach was GREAT! He communicated regularly with a message and pictures. Peanut wasn't sure if he wanted to come home since he had such a fun time! We can highly recommend Zach!!”



“Debbie and Pete were awesome! At first, I was a bit nervous about how my shy Maila would react to all of their rambunctious Jack Russells. However, Debbie and Pete were both took such special care of Maila that she had a great time with the whole family! They treated her just like their own and I never worried about her while she was in their care.”


“Jesse and Emily were fantastic with Kimber. Great communication with me and all the love and spoiling for Kimber. I love how they made her part of their family for the long weekend!”


“Heather & her family were a great match for Mía. From the Meet & Greet, to drop off, asking how to best care for her, and pick up…they were responsive, informative, and caring. Thank you!”


“Penny and her husband were so great with Winston. She kept me updated throughout his stay and he was very happy when I arrived to pick him up after my trip. He also got along with her dogs as well which is great! Will not hesitate to book again!”


“Bree is lovely and she took excellent, careful care of our aging hounddog. She also gave us regular updates and was kind and flexible when our flight got delayed.”


“Bertie and her family took great care of our Frenchie Gizmo. Kept us updated with pictures almost daily will definitely use her again in the future.”


“Knowing that Luna was safe, well cared for, AND happy (she had a huge smile in every picture Paula sent us) gave us peace of mind and we therefore enjoyed our 8 day vacation so much more! Thank you Paula!”


“Paula was a lifesaver! We were anxious about leaving our 7mo puppy for our 9 day vacation. Paula was so responsive (tolerating my anxiety), sending photos and videos. Our boy was clearly well cared for and somehow came back a better listener! He was in constant company and I think he had a great time.”


“Our family was going through a really tough time and Nadia came to our rescue! She treated our puppy like her baby and provided updates and pictures multiple times a day which made us feel so safe and secure. She even made scarves and necklaces for our sweet pup and made her feel like a princess. We had an issue come up where we needed to schedule extra days and she was so kind and accommodating. Our puppy was so sad to leave her. I’d recommend Nadia to anybody and everybody and I can’t wait to be able to book with her again in the future. She’s now my puppy’s godmother😅 and she’ll always be my go-to.”


“Robin was so friendly and accommodating, and it is clear that she takes great care of the dogs in her care! She took plenty of time before the stay to show us around and make sure that all of our questions were answered. Our dog returned from her stay happy and very well-exercised ? We will definitely book with Robin again!”


“Kaitlyn is friendly and super accommodating to make sure your dog has a wonderful experience and time while you’re away! She made sure my dog was at home and part of her family. I would highly recommend her to anyone! Definitely will want to utilize her again.”


“Danielle is absolutely wonderful and treats our elder dog like one of her own. She’s trustworthy, kind and flexible, and we’re lucky to have found her on Rover!”


“I have used Svitlana to watch Chloe many times in the past. She is a warm, friendly and caring person who is knowledgeable about dog care. She has always been very communicative when watching Chloe- sending texts and photos. The last time I needed Svitlana, it was on short notice and not only was she able to accommodate my dates, she was able to watch both of my dogs. I trust her implicitly and I highly recommend her.”


“Omg words are not enough…. Thank you so much for taking care of the boys . They received so my love from you and the family and I know they will be looking forward to another staycation. If you’re looking for a loving and caring border Alex is the person to book with. I received daily updates and pictures. They received lots of love and attention. 110% care”


“Micki and Skye enjoyed the weekend with Tamara and her family. They even gave Skye a little birthday party for her second birthday. We know the pups enjoyed their stay because they slept the entire day after we picked the up. It was a pleasant experience for all of us. We would trust them with our pups again.”



“My dog loves going to see Charissa! It makes going on vacation a pleasure knowing that he loves being in her care. Her and Alex have great set up for multiple dogs and they are very attentive to the different personalities and makes sure everyone is getting along. If not there is a spot for that dog too. I recommend her to everyone.”


“Rebecca was a great host for our 1 year-old pitbull. We were out of the country for 3 weeks and she gave regular updates, which put us at ease. Our dog got plenty of play and made new friends, would definitely do again!”


“I had to find a dog sitter while I was overseas because the person who was taking care of my dog couldn’t do it anymore. Brooke was very responsive and accommodating, and took good care of Rain. I would recommend her to others.”
