4. Ashton M.

“Ashton and her adorable and so well behaved doodle, Rui, were the perfect match for our Bernedoodle! It was definitely one of the best Rover experiences we've had. Ashton was reliable, responsible, and so pleasant; Rui was inviting and a perfect playmate. I am grateful I found Ashton and Rui and will be calling on them again!”


5. Sky G.

“Sky was a life saver! She hosted my Uschi and gave her meds and gave her companionship with her 2 tiny cuties! My pup was returned to me calm and happy--she even got a bath!”


6. Sush S.

“Sush was very nice with us and our dog. Our dog certainly ate something wrong during his stay and felt sick, Sush gave us details and information very often during her sickness and ask for news even after. We should told her in advance that our dog doesn't have to eat anything else then her food.She also gave us some vet around us if needed. We thank you Sush and Aby her son for taking care of our Dachshund Gaia. We recommend her as our dog could not be alone at any time she stays at home with her. Thanks”


7. Leonard & Kathryn J.
“Our pup Leo had an amazing time with Leonard, Kathryn, and their daughters. We were absolutely thrilled with the love and attention the whole family gave him. We requested updates, and for the 9 days we were gone, Leonard sent us photos of Leo having an amazing time every morning and evening. Leo got tons of exercise, cuddles, and even two baths during his stay! We highly recommend Leonard and Kathryn to anyone looking for a loving, active, and attentive home for their pet to stay with.”


8. Luciana V.

“Luciana took great care of our little dog. She sent photos right away to show that he had settled in happily and stayed in touch during his stay with more pics, update/any questions. She made sure our picky eater got enough to eat. We would definitely use Luciana again.”

“Jie was fantastic. I felt so good and comfortable living Vivi with her and glad I found her for my future needs. She sent updates and pictures every day.”


10. Brianne B.

“My pup’s stay with Brianne was great. She and her family took great care of my ozzy. She sent me photos periodically and updates. Ozzy came back tired so I know she kept him busy. I will definitely use Brianne again in the near future.”


11. Anne Marie V.

“Anne Marie was so great with Chespi! She was available to do a meet n greet before our time although she was extremely busy. My dog doesn't always cuddle with a sitter on the first night, which assumedly means she's trustworthy and caring. I'll definitely rebook again.”


12. Johanna B.

14. Donna S.

“I needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”


15. Nelly M.

“Nelitza treated my two boys like her own! Im so glad I found her last minute as my international trip got extended, so it was quite stressful that nothing was going as planned. However, Neliztza made everything so easy and smooth for me, I was so thankful for her! 🩷 I kept having to extend the drop off time and she was able to still take care of my boys, im so appreciative of her! On top of that, she sent me update pictures of my boys very constantly! We ran out of the dog food, and she was able to pickup some food for my boys too! I would definitely use her again in the near future!!”


16. Nathan P.

“Great sitter! Communication was smooth and he was accommodating. My dog Harvey was in great spirits from the moment I dropped him off until the moment I picked him up. Thanks for everything!”


17. Bridgid M.
“Bridges watched my dog for a week and did a wonderful job. She met me and my dog beforehand which helped make me feel more at ease, and she provided frequent updates on how he was doing during the stay. She took him on a lot of walks, and he had a wonderful time with her. I would happily have my dog stay with Bridgid again!”


18. Brittany G.

“Brittany was the perfect Rover host to take care of my girl Ruby. Brittany's dog, Dolly made the perfect best friend for Ruby while i was out of town for just over 10 days. It is great to find someone who will take exceptional care of your best friend when you can't. I spent my time out of town on business without a worry of any kind. Regularly I received updates and photos that put my mind at ease. Brittany was great from the initial meet and greet until I got back home to pick my girl up. Highly recommended, and I will be happy to use her services any and every time that I need to board Ruby. Thank you Brittany!”


19. Erin F.

“Erin took wonderful care of Sully. She comforted him during some loud storms, which I’m very grateful for. To ease my worry, she was very communicative and sent lots of updates & pictures. Would happily rebook her again!”


20. Nina C.
