1. Richard T.


“My dog augie loves going to Ricks! I am a nurse and I work odd hours, and he is always so accommodating with my pick up and drop offs!! I can’t recommend him enough!”


2. Emily & Patrick M.

“This was our puppy's first night away from home and I can't say enough about how reassuring it was to have him at Emily and Patrick's. He loved having another dog to play with. They had mountains of toys to entertain him as well. We got pictures and videos. And, more importantly, they kept him content despite his separation distress. We'll definitely come back to them when we need a dogsitter!”




3. Amy N.


“Our pup, Fred, clearly loved his stay with Amy. He came home from his long weekend tired and happy. For a moment, I think he didn’t even want to come home with us, he was having so much fun! Thank you, Amy, and we hope to have Freddy hang out with you again soon!”




4. Kathleen K.

“Kathleen is an awesome communicator (sending a lot of pics and updates while we were away) and has such a beautiful/kind soul. She and our little Beo had plenty of walks and cuddles and we will be using her routinely as our sitter. She is the best!”


5. Michael H.

“Michael and Maria were the best! They took such great care of Penny while I was out of town. Their apartment is so clean and a wonderful location for the city. They were so kind with sending daily updates and photos. I know Penny was in great hands!”




6. Victoria K.

“Victoria has taken care of my dog multiple times and we will continue going to her. She is the best! You can tell she really cares about the dogs and takes good care of them.”


7. Amy C.

“Amy was amazing!! She sent pictures of my dog frequently and provided a lot of updates. She took such great care of my dog. She is reliable, prompt, and attentive! She made sure my dog got lots of walks and did fun activities. I will be using her again in the future!!”


8. Eronda D.

“Eronda was amazing with my puppy. She constantly sent pics of her playing and socializing with a cat and numerous dogs. My puppy seemed very happy when we picked her up. Eronda was in constant contact throughout our vacation. I would recommend her to anyone!”


9. Denise P.

“Denise was a great sitter for our pup! She was very flexible with scheduling and provided regular updates throughout the stay. Would definitely work with her again and recommend!”


10. Audrey M.

“Our older cat is afraid of her shadow and keeps her distance from people she doesn’t know. Audrey was patient and gentle with her. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I like that she works from home so your pet is not left alone very often. And her adorable and very friendly kitten is happy to be a playmate or can be kept separate if needed. Give Audrey a try. You won’t be disappointed.”


11. Chang K.

“Chang was so good to our Pup! She took her on walks, sent us lots of pictures showing her comfortable hanging out at her house. Communication was great! Highly recommend!”


12. Liz M.

“She will treat your dog as if it were hers. Liz sent daily pictures and updates, making my trip stress-free. My dog is not very social with other humans and it shows that she definitely bonded with Liz and had a great time. I will book again!”


13. Christy M.


“Christy was great with Bruja. She sent pictures and updates everyday and very accommodating to our needs. I will 100% rely on her for taking care of my dog.”


14. 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!”


15. Christine B.

“This was our first time using Rover, and Christine made it an unforgettable experience!! Normally we board our dogs, but since we were going on a short weekend trip we wanted to try something different. Christine made the entire process super stress-free. We dropped our pups off at her home, where she let us inside and gave us a rundown of what she'd be doing each day for them (how many times she takes them for walks, where they sleep, etc.). It made me feel so much better knowing exactly where they'd be staying and the details of their care! Christine sent several pictures each day with updates on how they were doing, which made this anxious dog-mom feel at ease. She truly cared for our dogs as if they were her own - she even sent them home with handmade bow-ties for their collars :') Any time we need to go out of town for a few days again, we're booking with Christine!! 10000/10 would absolutely recommend.”


16. Theresa L.


“Theresa takes great care of our two crazy little pups as if they were her own. Lots of updates to know they're in great hands makes traveling so much easier.”


17. Victoria L.


“Victoria was absolutely amazing. My pups had so much fun staying with her. They were comfortable from the moment we arrived. She sent me numerous picture updates that made me feel secure and good. I could see that my dogs had a blast playing or napping in the most relaxed positions. I know my dogs will be very happy when we go back to see her again. Highly recommend!”


18. Nelia & Brett M.


“Nelia and family were the greatest. I booked her for one reason and horrible experience in my family occurred. She came hours earlier than planned without question. She took my dog in and made her home my dogs home. She sent me updates daily with photos. I felt so comfortable in the situation I was in that Maggie was safe and happy. I would use this family again and recommend them to anyone.”


19. Meghan H.

“Meghan is truly an amazing person ! She took such great care of Pippy. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Pippy was loved every day. She is very professional. We had a minor incident with Pippy at the day before leaving for our trip. Meghan assured me she was comfortable with the situation so I knew Pippy would be safe. I highly recommend her. I will book her anytime I need help with Pippy!”


20. Nicholas F.

“Nicholas was a great host. He took care of our 80lb male retriever mix. Our dog can be a bit of a handful so we were lucky to find Nick who had no issues and sent updates during his stay. We’ll contact Nick again when we’re in the Pittsburgh area. Thanks!”
