2. Michael B.


“My dog is a regular customer always happy to be at Michael’s house. He takes good care of her while we were away so no need to worry about our dog. Highly recommend leaving your pup with him. Michael is quick in replying which we like.”


3. James & Mallory N.

“James and Mallory were amazing! We have been using Rover for years and have found some great sitters for our girl here. None of them compare to the experience we had with James and Mallory. After the meet and greet I knew it was a good fit for our dog. They have a fully fenced yard that our dog was very comfortable in. Their home was welcoming and cozy. Our dog was allowed to sleep on the couch just like she does at home. Mallory was accommodating with our feeding schedule and choices. We even shared some common experiences making our own dog food. They took our dog to some local hiking spots to get all her energy out. This was our favorite part of using them, they listened to what we had said about our dog loving to be outside. There was great communication with pictures and videos. Our dog was returned happy, healthy and tired...just how we like her. Mallory even gave us a hand written Thank You card. They are true animal lovers and will care for your pet like their own. Our dog looks forward to her next visit.”

“Betty was comfortable and happy when I got back. Perfect yard for the dogs. Colette was friendly and communicates well. We will definitely be back.”


5. Sabrina T.


“Sabrina is a wonderful dog sitter! I would highly recommend her. She is so good with the dogs. My dog had a great time with her and her dogs. She takes the time to acclimate the dogs so they get along well. Even if your dog is dog shy, she adapt to your dogs needs. Thank you Sabrina for giving Kilo such a nice time while I was away on my trip.”


6. Dawn P.

“Would definitely recommend Dawn and her family to watch your fur baby! Grayson was well looked after and super happy when I went to pick him up. She sent an update while watching him overnight. Will definitely book again in the future!”


7. Emily & Matthew S.

“Our dog enjoyed the holidays with Matthew & Emily. Thank you for treating Brody “like family”. We were confident that our baby was in good hands & was happy - allowing us to be “guilt-free” during our vacation. Thank you! And Merry Christmas!”


8. Melissa O.

“Another positive boarding experience with Melissa. Received regular updates and pics and was confident that Milo had plenty of outdoor time and socialization. Melissa and her fiance treat Milo like their own and he is becoming very comfortable in their care.”


9. April L.

“Dodger had a blast with April! A big yard with a high fence, perfect for him to get plenty of exercise :) He came home, ate dinner, and then went down for the count 😂”


10. Priti T.

“Archie had a great time with Priti and family and also with her lovely pet Tazz. He was missing his time after he was back home. Really recommend her care and looking forward for future daycare needs. Thank you”


11. Sue D.

“My husband and I haven’t left our 3 year old Yorkie with anyone but family members. I read about Sue on Rover and she seemed like a good fit. We had a meet and greet ahead of time. She immediately made us feel comfortable with her friendly and professional personality. She and her sweet pups made our girl feel right at home. Sue sent photos so we could see how our Yorkie was getting along. We have put Sue on our favorite sitter’s list and she will our first choice anytime we need a sitter. We would highly recommend her to family and friends.”


12. Sandra C.

“My dog, Ollie, just spent a week with Sandy and I cannot say enough about how great she was. I hadn’t ever left him with anyone other than family and from the first minute I met Sandy during our meet and great, she put me right at ease. She was communicative and caring and he clearly had a great time. I would (and will!) rebook her in a heartbeat!”


13. Allison Nicole M.

“So grateful to drop off our girl, Sophie for the first time. Allison was so friendly and reassuring. Sophie had a great time and it's wonderful to have a spot to take her when we are in town to see our folks. Great fenced in yard was a bonus!!”


14. Paola M.


“Paola was extremely responsive with any questions or concerns we had prior to booking. She communicated the entire stay with us. Highly recommend.”


15. Kristin S.


“Kristin was absolutely amazing! As a first-time pet owner, I was nervous about leaving my 6-month-old puppy for three weeks, just two months after adopting her. Kristin went above and beyond, providing not only shelter, food, and affection but also invaluable training. She ensured my dog got plenty of exercise and even introduced her to swimming! Kristin sent daily updates with pictures and videos, keeping me constantly informed. When I picked her up, Kristin gave me a detailed report on everything—from her food intake (with tips on avoiding digestive issues) to her training progress. She even provided advice on making frozen treats and other ways to support her health. As a new pet owner, I was incredibly grateful for this guidance. This wasn’t just pet-sitting; it felt like a boarding school for dogs! Kristin, along with Mark and sweet Kaia, created an incredible experience for my dog. I can’t recommend her enough—she is the most knowledgeable, caring, and well-rounded dog sitter you could ever ask for.”


16. Amy H.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”


17. Alexandra B.

“Alex was great. She provided updates of my boys daily. My dogs warmed up to her and it looked like they really enjoyed their stay. Alex was also very flexible with time given that I kept having to change it. Would def recommend and book again.”


18. Megan T.

“Megan and her family loved our dog like she was a member of their family. Lots of pics and updates. They even had story time! Highly recommend. I have already rebooked.”


19. Luis C.

“Luis and his wife are wonderful hosts. They are flexible and accommodating our schedule changes. They also let us know how our dog Gizmo was doing and sent our pictures when we were away. Gizmo was very relaxing under their care. Highly recommended!”


20. Rachel C.

“Very attentive and nice throughout Olive’s stay. Great to see pictures from their walks as they went. Definitely would stay again if we’re back in the area”
