“Rita was great! Quick responses, frequent updates and our dog Maple and cat Olive loved her (boarded our dog and had drop-in for our cat). Olive is usually fine when we are away but it was our first long trip away from Maple and she came home happy and healthy. I would use Rita’s services again, no problem”


“Andres was great! He responds quickly and has a lovely pet friendly home with a nice fenced in backyard. His little dog Rumpkin is quite friendly too! My Sasha enjoyed her weekend and we would use Andres again. Thank you Andres!”


“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”


“This was the first time my dogs stayed with a non family member so I was a littler nervous to leave them. Enrica took EXCELLENT care of my two Yorkies! She sent me updates and photos the entire time I was away which I absolutely loved. My dogs had so much fun with Enrica that the one had no interest in coming home, he just sat on her couch and looked at me. There was a nice fenced in yard to explore and it was clear they were spoiled. I would definitely send my dogs to stay with Enrica again! Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies!”



“Olivia was very wonderful and patient with our mastiff and our schnauzer. She would send daily photos and would respond quickly whenever I had any questions about my pets. I highly recommend her services and I will definitely book her again.”

“Tariq was a fantastic Dog sitter and made sure Bella our Lab got lots of exercise and had plenty of fun while we were away. Photo and video updates were a great way to see her playing with other dogs and having lots of fun so we weren’t worried about her while we were away. We will definitely be using Tariq’s services again and do strongly recommend!”


“Elisabeth was absolutely amazing! Leaving my Great Dane, Blueberry, for the weekend was so hard, but she made the entire experience so much easier for both of us. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell how much care and compassion she puts into what she does. She treated Blueberry like he was her own, which is no small task because he’s not the easiest dog to handle. Elisabeth kept me updated with the pictures and videos that made me feel continually comforted while I was missing him. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Blueberry’s happiness and comfort, which gave me so much peace of mind during my separation anxiety. What truly stood out was her extraordinary level of care. When Blueberry got up in the middle of the night, Elisabeth didn’t just leave him on his own—she went out to the couch and slept with him to make sure he felt secure. That thoughtful, empathetic gesture is more than I ever could have expected. I couldn’t be more grateful for Elisabeth and everything she did for Blueberry and me this weekend. She went above and beyond in every way, and I’m so excited for the chance to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much again Elisabeth!”


“This was my first time using Rover. Our stay with Adriene was wonderful. Sheldon has only stayed overnight with family or a close friend previously. Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”


“Jenning was great through this whole process. This was my first time using rover and leaving Nipsey with anybody. She was very helpful and knowledgable prior to booking and during his stay. She kept me updated with both pictures and videos and was easy to communicate with. She also gave me a list of things to pack prior to arriving and gave me a few pointers and suggestions for new things to order. Highly recommend Jenning to anyone looking to book, she cared Nipsey like her own.”


“I recently had the pleasure of boarding my Goldendoodle, Bruno, with Joseph for several days, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention he provided. From the moment I dropped Bruno off, Joseph's dedication to ensuring Bruno's comfort and happiness was evident. Throughout Bruno's stay, Joseph sent me multiple daily updates, including photos and videos, which truly put my mind at ease. It was clear that Joseph wasn't just looking after Bruno, but genuinely enjoying his company and providing him with the love and attention that he needed. Bruno seemed to be having a wonderful time, and I was delighted to see him so content in the updates I received. What particularly stood out to me was Joseph's flexibility and willingness to accommodate a last-minute extension to Bruno's stay. Despite the unexpected change in plans, Joseph was incredibly understanding and made the process seamless, which I greatly appreciated. Upon picking Bruno up, it was evident that he had been well-cared for and had formed a genuine bond with Joseph. Bruno was happy, healthy, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time. I cannot recommend Joseph highly enough for anyone seeking a caring and responsible individual to look after their furry family members. His genuine love for animals and his commitment to providing the best possible care make him an exceptional choice for pet boarding. I will undoubtedly be entrusting Joseph with Bruno's care in the future, knowing that he will be in excellent hands.”


“Toni was amazing! She was able to fit us in on short notice. Her dog, Ollie, was super friendly and got along great with our dog, Sunny, whom we boarded with her for 4 nights. Toni was very communicative and sent us short messages and pictures of how Sunny was doing every day. This was our first time boarding our dog with a sitter and her level of communication definitely helped us feel more at ease. We will definitely be using her services again the future.”


“Sara is the best! She is kind, fun, and loving! Mina loves to be at Sara's house as she never cries to leave once left at Sara's home. She also loves Sara's dog, Penny. It is heartwarming to see how they play together. I know Sara takes good care of Mina as she communicates with me on a regular basis as to how Mina responds to her care. We have a good working relationship and Mina clearly loves to be with Sara and her family! Can't wait until the next visit! I know I can count on Sara to treat Mina as her own.”


“I have to say I was a lot more nervous than I expected when dropping off Jake especially with the other dogs there. But Becca and her family quickly put me at ease. She sent tons of pictures, TONS and no doubt my boy was getting alllllll the love and attention. It was clear he had a great time with Becca and her family. He almost seemed disappointed when I picked him up! ?. I will definitely be using Becca and her family in the future.”


“Best sitters ever! I felt so comfortable having Nathan & Meredith watching my sweet Lacey. They sent so many pics and updates - I felt like I was right there with her. My dog gets pretty anxious in new places, but she was immediately at home and snuggling with them. I will definitely be booking again!”


“Shanisa was a true blessing. It was short notice and she performed above and beyond my expectations. My dog was (first time from home) was comfortable and happy in her car. I appreciate the quality time she gave him. I definitely will be using her again.”


“Kim was amazing. She takes loads of pictures and updates on the daily’s of her time with your animal. She takes long walks in parks and will get all the energy out of your dog. Her energy will radiate the minute you meet her.”
