Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.

Kingsley had a fantastic stay at Matt's place. Matt updated us often with photos and details of his attitude and comportment, and it was clear our dog was having fun. He seemed to get a good mix of play and rest time and we knew he was in good hands. We'll definitely be back!

Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!

Aaren & Jordon are truly wonderful puppy sitters! Throughout my pup’s stay with them, I received multiple updates during the day of the fun activities they were getting into. We were put at ease and loved to see our girl so happy while we were apart! We are thankful for them for welcoming our pup into their home with open arms.

Amanda did an amazing job of taking care of my dog for a week. I have a small dog that recently went blind and Amanda was very well versed in taking care of older dogs and dogs with disabilities. Her house is well set up for taking care of older/disabled dogs and communications with her were always instant. Amanda is also an incredibly nice and personable person in general. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone needing a dog sitter.

Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!

Our pup was happy as can be staying with Raye while we were out of town on vacation! He had plenty of outside time and enjoyed spending time with other dogs. We got tons of pictures updates, which was great. Some were even glamour shots with my pup looking so handsome! Would work with Raye again, for sure!

Damacia is was amazing! I found him on Rover after reading through several reviews, and I’m so glad I chose him. He was very responsive and stayed in touch throughout my entire time away, including sending pictures and videos. My dog, Jaxson, has never been around other dogs before, so I know this was a new experience for him but based on the updates I received, he did great. Damacia made me feel completely at ease, and I now have a dog sitter I truly trust to care for Jaxson while I’m away. Highly recommend 🐾✨

Carolina was amazing! She just watched my dog for the first time over a long weekend. I usually am hesitant leaving her with new people but she sent me plenty of updates right away and continued them throughout the stay. She walked them a ton, took them to run in a little park and gave Hazy even a nail trim because he nail was getting caught. I have nothing but good things to say and will be booking again for sure!

I cant say enough good things about Myrna. She took exceptional care of my senior pup and went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved during his stay. My dog has some incontinence issues and can be very attached to his people. Myrna was incredibly understanding, accomidating, and patient with his special needs. Thank you!

My dog, Nina, is a people dog and she was very happy to stay with Julie and her husband. Nina has a few quirks and Julie accommodated and took great care of her. Julie was great at communicating at every step from booking, drop off, daily updates, etc. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone for her wonderful care and kindness.

Gaelle took wonderful care of Oakland while I was away! Oakland was feeling a bit under the weather from anxiety leading up to my trip, and Gaelle was incredibly attentive, keeping a close eye on her and sending regular updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Thankfully, Oakland's stomach settled, and it was clear she was in great hands throughout her stay. I really appreciated the care, communication, and kindness Gaelle showed. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Le’Quitta was absolutely wonderful with Honey! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and communicative. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she even brought one of her dogs to make sure Honey would be comfortable since she can be a little reactive around other dogs. Just before our trip, Honey unexpectedly needed stitches and had to wear a cone while taking medication every 12 hours. Le’Quitta didn’t hesitate—she happily took on the extra care, administered Honey’s medications, and gave us complete peace of mind so we could still enjoy our weekend away. Throughout Honey’s stay, Le’Quitta sent frequent updates and photos, and it was obvious Honey was having the best time playing with the other dogs. She even had her first positive introduction to a cat! Every picture showed a happy, smiling dog who was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for Le’Quitta flexibility, communication, and genuine care for Honey. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.

Virginia was a delight. Our baby Nola was loved & cared for the entire time we were away. We can confidently say we’ve found a home away from home for our sweet girl Nola. Virginia was very attentive, sent numerous pictures & just kept an open line of communication to keep our minds at ease. We would 100% book with Virginia again a million times over.

Niely was responsive, communicative, and pleasant with which to work. She boarded our two family dogs, including a puppy we've had only two weeks, over the weekend with little notice. She took excellent care of them and showed great patience with our new little guy, introducing him to her cats and incentivizing good behavior. Highly recommend!

Libby was a lifesaver for us. She took care of our geriatric Golden for three days while we were away, then stepped up for an additional four days at the last moment due a a medical emergency, even buying addition food and supplements as needed. She is clearly a dog lover, and our Golden was very comfortable and well cared for with her and her two dogs. Excellent communication and lots of photos completely set our minds at ease at a time when we didn’t need any additional worries. We even got a thorough report-card and little polaroid of our Golden when we picked her up. I can’t say enough good things about Libby. Your dog would be very lucky to have her as a sitter.
