“Lindsay is a wonderful, knowledgeable and loving caregiver! We were nervous to try something new when our normal kennel was full, but she is a true animal lover and did an excellent job with our Cavalier King Charles sending updates and even photos! She was completely unfazed when I warned her that he might try to jump on her bed at night, and she kept the larger dogs separated from him until they got acquainted. Lindsay went above and beyond what we expected, and really has a gift. She instructed us on the proper way to remove mats upon our return, and has loads of experience with dogs of all kinds. We highly recommend her pet watching service and would definitely use her again!!”
“Janelle boarded my senior dog for a week and everything went perfect. She is professional, communicative, and has a cozy/clean home that my dog felt so comfortable in. I will book Janelle again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
“Monica watched our dog during the Christmas holiday for 2 wks. We had a family trip overseas & our usual sitter was away. So we were just appreciative that Monica was available! The meet & greet went very well. She has a fenced backyard which is a necessity for our dog who is very fast! Monica only takes 1 dog at a time which is great. Our dog loves to get all the attention & I’m sure she got it! Monica sent pics & communicated with us often which was wonderful since we missed her very much. That was the longest we’ve been away. I would definite recommend Monica and trust her to watch our dog again.”
“We planned a spur of the moment overnight stay for memorial day weekend and Samantha was the perfect fit for that trip. Molly had a great stay with Samantha! And we loved her flexibility with timing and amazing communication. We appreciated her photos and updates and felt like we could thoroughly enjoy our time away knowing our girl was safe! Thanks again for everything!!”
“She was great! It was my boys first experience outside of his house and I was very nervous. She kept me updated, sent pics and updates. Super experience with Laura! Highly recommend!”
“June, I first met her on a cold day, and I saw her smiling brightly. We didn't know we were close neighbors at the time, so we met for the first time from a distance. Seeing her for the first time and realizing how close we lived to each other was such a relief. On the first day I entrusted my dog to her care, I saw how genuinely she cared for my dog, and during my four-day Christmas vacation, I never once worried about my dog. On the way home, I picked up my dog, and it was such a wonderful time meeting June's children. I'm planning to leave my dog with June again the next time we go on a family trip. June, thank you for your warm heart and care.”
“Amanda was great with Cooper. The meet and greet was very relaxed, but it made me feel at ease that she clearly has lots of experience and confidence with pets from her vet job and boarding. I love that she sent pictures and Cooper had a fantastic time in her care!”
“I felt so comfortable with Kshama. She cared for my senior dog who is deaf and blind as well as my energetic dog. She sent me pictures and kept me updated regularly. I would definitely recommend her. 5 stars!”
“Thank you for takes such amazing care of Lefty. The stay was fulled with lots of love, kindness and personnal attention. Received wonderful viedo messages updates.”
“I boarded my two dogs with Steven, he was very responsive and attentive! He sent photo and video updates, which was so thoughtful and reassuring. If you're looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, Steven is the person you want. I'll definitely be using his services again!”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“Whitley is the absolute best! Gave our dog so much love, movement, and fun! Marshall loved playing with her dog too. She was super accommodating when our flight was delayed too.”
“We were a little nervous using a sitter we didn’t know for the first time, but Kadi put us completely at ease. From the very beginning, she was warm, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Both of our pups instantly took to her, and throughout our time away, she sent regular updates, pictures, and lots of sweet moments that showed just how happy and comfortable they were. It truly felt like they were on their own little vacation! When we picked them up, they were giving her kisses goodbye, which says everything. We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention Kadi gave our dogs, and we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle and her family were so great with my high energy, high anxiety border collie. She was super communicative in advance and was flexible with my crazy travel hours. When we got to their house to drop Callie off, she immediately took off into their huge, fenced in backyard, and I knew she’d have a great time there. Not only did Danielle and her family play with Callie, but even the neighborhood kiddos came to throw frisbees for her. I know she’d love to go back, and I’m happy to recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a fun time for their pup!”
“Orawan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I came across her profile. She kept me updated daily with pictures of my little fur baby, and took excellent care of her! I will definitely contact Orawan again! Thank you!”

We had a great experience with Giselle. Our dog, Oden was well taken care of. She followed our instructions as to how to properly care for him. Giselle even took the time to let Oden explore her home before introducing her 2 dogs. She took the time to play tug with Oden because she knows that is his favorite activity. Giselle sent plenty of photos and videos to reassure us that he was engaged, safe and having a pleasant experience. We really appreciate the time and effort Giselle put into watching our fur baby, Oden. Lastly, we love her fair, competitive pricing and we will book again. Thanks again.
I couldn’t be happier with the care she gave my Lola! Lindsay took her on regular walks, made sure she was comfortable and happy, and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Lola was in such loving and responsible hands. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. I would absolutely trust Lindsay with Lola again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!
This was our first time using Rover for our two golden retrievers while we were out of town for 9 days. Usually they come with us or we have family watch them, but since that wasn’t an option this time we were looking for a family who would treat them as their own. Ashley and the entire family took great care of them and sent regular updates and pictures so we knew they were doing just fine and getting lots of snuggles and attention. We were able to enjoy our vacation and not worry the entire time about how they were doing.
Rachel (and family) were helpful, professional, attentive and caring. We had to book last minute for a trip and Rachel helped us in a bind. She made sure we were comfortable and more importantly, our dog was happy and well treated. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachel.
I am so glad that I found Brigid and her family to watch my dog while I was gone. This was the first time I’d used rover and I was a little nervous, but once I met Brigid and her family I was instantly put at ease with leaving my dog with them for a week. Brigid kept me updated throughout the week on how my dog was doing and I could tell he was having a great time. Brigid took care of my dog as one of my own, and to have the peace of mind that he was being taken good care of made the world of difference. I couldn’t recommend them more.
Lonnie and his family took great care of our Irish Doodle Brooklyn. She gets very anxious being away from us, but we could tell she was comfortable and happy in their care. We appreciated the daily pictures of her while we were gone! They communicated with us regularly which was also helpful in feeling at ease. We will continue to use their services! So glad we found them!
