“Erica did an outstanding job babysitting. She was reliable, attentive, and truly caring throughout the entire time. Every day, she made sure to provide me with updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Arizona absolutely loved her and felt comfortable and happy in her care. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I will always choose Erica to babysit again!”
“Clara was responsive and only cares for small dogs, up to four at a time. My dog was happy to return to Clara after a grooming appointment, which I took as a great sign.”
“Mac had a great stay with her and I’m super grateful for how flexible and accommodating she was with my crazy schedule. I ended up having to extend his stay twice from the original booking, and both times she didn’t hesitate at all to keep him longer, which helped me out so much and took a ton of stress off my plate. She sent me updates while I was away, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about him and loved having him there. I felt really comfortable knowing he was with her and being taken care of the whole time. I’d definitely trust her with Mac again and would absolutely book with her in the future. 😊😊😊”
“Luz was amazing! She watched Catrina when I was away, and Catrina looked very happy while in her care. She always responds quickly and kept me updated! Your pet is in the best hands if you book with her :)”
“Angie and her kids were so sweet and excited to keep my dog. They have a beautiful home and back yard. I know my dog thought she was in heaven there, pretty sure she didn’t want to leave! Angie sent pictures and updates. I would absolutely have her keep my pup again when I’m in the area.”
“My baby Adonis came home and acted completely normal. He did not seem anxious like when he leaves kennels. He is so happy and can’t wait to take him back to be cared for by Amber and her husband.”
“Selina went above & beyond with my pup! She shared multiple photos of my dog throughout the day going on adventures and I could tell just how happy & well taken care of my dog was:) I’ve already re-booked with Selina! Highly recommend this sitter.”
“Candice is a very passionate sitter. She fell in love with my dog after watching him for 10 days. She took him for walks early before it was too hot, bathed him, did a tiny trim near his eyes when his vision was getting a bit blocked by hair, and took so many pictures! It's nice to have someone who will treat your dog as their own.”
“Ana Paula and her husband and their sweet puppy Tiger were absolutely incredible. I was nervous because I had never done a site like this before and one of our puppies gets a little scared around other dogs. But they were so gentle and amazing in both of my dogs felt comfortable the whole time. She sent pictures and videos, and I couldn’t be more grateful!”
“I'm so grateful to Michelle for the care she provided to Simon. Michelle made me feel comfortable from the moment we met, and I knew Simon would get excellent care and attention. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent while I was gone, and the obvious loving and caring nature Michelle has for dogs.”
“I’ve never left my Max alone with anyone but family before. Adam made sure to send pictures, videos, and updates regularly. Max was so happy when I picked him up and I know he enjoyed his stay. Thanks Adam for making me and Max feel comfortable over the holidays!”
“Mrs.Susan and her husband are AMAZING 🤩 They kept us up to date while our baby was with them lots of pics and all the adventures they had. They welcomed our baby into their home and showed her so much love and attention which she does request alot of lol”
“Zach and Maddie were the absolute best! From the moment I met them I knew my dog was in great hands. They are genuine dog lovers. I got lots of updates while I was away. It was such a relief being gone for a week and not having to worry about my dog. They even took him on a picnic! 10/10. Highly recommend.”
“Johanna was the perfect match for our dog, Coco! He stayed with her over Christmas and had other similar doggy friends to hang out with. Unfortunately during his stay, Coco started peeing blood, which is a dog owner’s worst nightmare. Luckily Johanna assured us that he was acting like his normal self, and was able to bring him to our urgent care vet promptly for treatment. She handled everything perfectly and put us at ease. We appreciated the photo and video updates along the way. Thank you Johanna!!!”
“Jennifer was great! She took care of our sweet dog who gets pretty anxious when he isn’t at home. She was king and understanding and did everything she could to make him comfortable ?”
“We had a great experience! They took great care of our dogs, Whiskey and Moonshine, and kept us updated every day with pictures and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we picked them up. We really appreciated the communication and would definitely book with them again!”
“Marcelina was great with our 7-8 month puppy! She takes great care of her and always communicates with us. We have left our pup three separate times now and she is happy and excited to be there everytime.”
“I was concerned about leaving my recently adopted rescue with a dog sitter, as my dog is not comfortable in all situations. I need not have worried. Menaj helped my dog feel at home and gave her the love and attention she needed during her stay. I would not hesitate to book with Menaj again.”
“Matt is an amazing dog sitter!! Super caring and patient with my high energy Aussie. He’s also very knowledgeable and attentive. He kept me updated all weekend with such cute pictures. Would highly recommend Mathew as your dog sitter.”

Savannah did an excellent job watching our dog while we were gone for 2 weeks. We were able to book her very last minute when our original sitter canceled on us unexpectedly. We're very happy with her and would highly recommend her... She kept in good communication with us, sending pictures and updates frequently. We will definitely book with her again!
Madison is incredible. She is so attentive to sweet Cooper & was in frequent communication with us. My daughter was anxious to leave her boy with anyone ... but Madison absolutely won her over with her attention to detail. We are thankful for her & look forward to using having Cooper visit next time!
Rachael is amazing! This was my first time using Rover and won’t be the last time. Rachael is very organized and cared for our Maggie girl like she was her own. Everyday she updated us with a video and promptly replied to any messages or concerns we had. Absolutely will be using Rachael’s services in the future. Maggie loved her!
Susan and Jim went above and beyond taking care of our baby. She had an absolute blast and didn't want to leave. Susan sent us lots of pictures and updates. Her communication was excellent and we had peace of mind during our entire trip. We can tell our Duchess was very well loved and taken care of. We will definitely be rebooking with Susan and would recommend the same to anyone else looking for a dog sitter who goes above and beyond. Thank you Susan and Jim!
Elena was amazing with both Mags and Lady. I was worried about leaving them with another dog as Mags can be a little reactive but everything went so smoothly and communication was top notch. Thank you for watching our babies and for anyone on the fence: book Elena and Meeka if you want a trustworthy and friendly person with an amazing dog who will be a fantastic playmate to your dogs.
Leanne is a godsend! She has been very easy to work with, flexible with my scheduling needs and she’s taken the BEST care of my two little babies during my big life transitions. With so much on my plate and so many worries to manage, it’s been such a blessing to have them so well cared for in such a clean safe and loving environment. Thanks Leanne!
