21. Craig D.


“Craig was great with our 10-yr lab/spaniel mix. I could tell she had a wonderful long weekend with Craig and his lab. She was walked and spoiled. I feel fortunate we found Craig. We love our dog AND we know she can be high maintenance.”


22. Kelly G.

“Kelly was amazing with our little dog, Jackson. He seemed to feel completely comfortable in his new surroundings and I believe it was actually a fun vacation for him as well! Kelly was fabulous with communication and sent several photos and updates each day. Thank you so much Kelly! Can't wait for Jackson to stay with you again!”


23. Sarah E.

“Sarah was so natural with our anxious pup, Molly! She was very responsive and sent photos throughout the time. We will definitely use her services again!”


24. Olivia S.


“Olivia was so great with Babaganoush! She was very patient about all his quirks and neediness, and her frequent updates and photos made us feel at ease. So grateful he had a loving place to stay. Thank you Olivia!”


25. Deena S.

“Deena was so good with my dog for the week I left him with her! She sent pics/vids without me asking, and even may have found a food he will actually eat consistently (he's picky).. Book her. You're welcome.”


26. Diana C.

“Diana was amazing with our pups. It was such a last minute need when we found out my mom had Covid and couldn’t watch our 2 dogs for Memorial Day weekend. Diana was right there. She took them in, cared for them, took pictures and asked essential questions. The pups were happy and healthy when picked up and clearly had a great weekend. We are so grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone.”


27. Cartier T.

“Another awesome visit with Cartier! She treats my pup like gold and sends the best pictures and updates while I’m away. Cartier is always so accommodating with my travel schedule and I’m so grateful! We will continue to book with Cartier and look forward to our next visit!”




28. Scott T.


“Scott was excellent. He was a very caring guardian for Dox and was very attentive to his specific needs. I plan to use Scott regularly going forward.”


29. Joel S.

“We were moving and had trouble finding an available Rover.com place for our two Labs the night before our big move. Being previous client’s, Joel made an exception for us for our furry babies to stay the night. Then, our move day lasted longer than expected and he was flexible again to allow us to book a second night. We were SO grateful! 5 Stars to Joel completely for helping us out in a pinch!!”


30. Nicolette G.

“Nicolette was an excellent dog sitter! She was incredibly caring and attentive, always quick to respond to any questions or requests. She adapted to our dog's needs with ease, ensuring Bella was well-cared for and happy. Nicolette took Bella on plenty of walks, and her spacious backyard provided the perfect setting for playtime. With an abundance of toys and treats, Bella was thoroughly entertained. We also appreciated the regular updates and pictures Nicolette sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Nicolette for anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!”


31. Haley R.

“Haley was great. She did a meet & greet prior and our dog instantly was drawn to her, which was a good sign for us as first time dog owners leaving their 9-10 month old puppy for the first time overnight. She was super sweet, great communication and even able to add on to accommodate an extra night of our trip for us to spend extra time with family out of state. Will absolutely use her again! puppy came home happy, healthy and well cared for”


32. Lauryn & Hunter S.

“Repeat client here and couldn't be happier. Our dog had a great time with Hunter and his new friends and was well taken care of the entire time. We got lots of great picture updates and felt completely at ease while we were gone knowing our guy was in good hands!”


33. Cece K.

“Cece took fabulous care of our dog. She sent many photos, all of which showed him exercising and overall comfortable in his new environment. Plus, she was flexible with changes to our schedule. I plan on using her again!”


34. Andres D.


“Took great care of her. It was a relief while to know she was doing great with updated pictures. It helped with her socialization as well. Thanks!”


35. Jennifer S.

“Jen went above and beyond with our pups. From the adorable updates to even getting Gaucho a sweater!! She made our Christmas stress-free knowing that the dogs were in great care.”


36. Donte B.

“Donte took excellent care of 2 of my dogs for 4 days. I was a little hesitant to book someone without reviews on Rover (he’s just starting in this platform) but he was very understanding, answered all my questions and I found reviews for his training services on Google. I felt even more reassured when I dropped off my dogs and saw him engaging with them in a genuine way. Donte was great at sending updates and videos of some of the training he did. I’ll definitely come back for boarding and continue training sessions.”


37. Rhyeshona S.

“We had a wonderful experience with Rhyeshona! Last minute booking, since I was going on a trip, but I felt very comfortable leaving my little one there with the family and all the other little dogs. Got daily updates with pictures and Lily made a lot of friends with the other dogs there. Would definitely book with Rhyeshona again!”


38. Sarah W.

“Sarah was amazing! Mister stayed with her for a week and we got lots of messages and pictures of him while we were away, which I appreciated so much. It isn’t easy finding a sitter because Mister tends to be leash reactive but Sarah had experience and knew exactly how to handle him which made us feel so confident. On our way back our flight was delayed but Sarah was very flexible and accommodating even though we were late to pick him up. I definitely will be rebooking with her when we need someone to watch him overnight again!”




39. Elaina S.

“Once again, my sweet Benjamin was in the excellent care of Elaina while my family traveled out of the country. Our sweet boy has stayed with Elaina multiple times and we are always beyond happy and pleased with the wonderful care he receives when he stays with Elaina. She does great communicating with us while we are away and sending us wonderful pictures of our sweet furry baby. She is our forever furry baby sitter and we appreciate her deeply.”


40. Samantha & Samuel M.

“The Sam’s were amazing! Hoagie had a GREAT stay (I don’t think he wanted to leave!!). He was so loved and cared for and they sent regular pics and updates so I knew he was happy! Will definitely use them again the next time we’re out of town, highly recommend!!”
