“This was our first experience with both Rover and Ariella L. We had an excellent experience with both. Ariella was very attentive to both our dogs and followed up virtually everyday with updates and pictures. Both dogs were also very comfortable with her and her dog. The environment was spacious and clean. We plan to use her to watch our dogs again in the near future. Mary”

6. Miracle & Larry G.
“I’m happy I chose to leave my pup with Miracle. Once Oreo was introduced to her, he connected easily. He acted like he always knew her! I was surprised yet happy that he felt safe with her. I received daily updates with pictures and realized that my pup was having fun. I felt good knowing he was being well cared for. Oreo returned home happy, and tail wagging giving lots of love to Miracle. This again showed that he was happy and content during his stay. I highly recommend Miracle, her dedication to my pup was noticed. I will be using Miracle services again and again! Oreo is now resting after having a few fun days!”
7. Tatiana K.
“Tatiana exceeded my expectations!! I have never had Sophie stay away from me before and was nervous. To start off, it was super last minute and Tatiana was so accommodating. Her communication was terrific! She sent me updates and pictures. She took Sophie to the park multiple times and played with her throughout the stay. She had patience with her and made sure she was comfortable. Which is super important because Sophie is a puppy and we are still training so she can be a bit rambunctious. Her Husband was also terrific!! It’s a great feeling knowing that Sophie was treated like family while staying away from family. If I need, I will certainly rebook with Tatiana again!”
8. Jeff M.

13. Syd S.
“Dogs have been a part of Sydnie’s life her entire life. She has raised many from puppies, cared for and loved them unconditionally. So much so that she volunteered weekly and during summers at a local animal shelter. She’s known by those close to her as a dog whisperer because she connects and understands them so well. Dogs really are people too and Sydnie would be an ideal person to walk and care for any dog!”
14. Jared S.
“Jared and his buddy Bruce were wonderful companions for our pooch. Jared took our dog for well over a week on very little notice, sent thoughtful and fun updates about the trio’s fun andventures, and our pooch came home happy, well exercised, and well fed. Couldn’t ask for more!”
15. Kitty W.
“Kitty was absolutely wonderful. It was my first time using rover and was nervous about having my senior dog stay at a complete strangers home. But Kitty made the whole process super easy and comfortable. I could tell Chester loved staying with her and was having a great time. She sent pictures through out the day, every single day and was very easy to get in touch with. I’m so glad to have found her and have her to take care of Chester. I will def be a repeating customer.”
16. Shomaree & Shanice H.
“Shomaree and Shanice were the first sitters I had for my dog. They took great care of my fur baby and sent regular updates showing what an amazing time he had with them. They were extremely responsible, caring and loving which gave me peace of mind to enjoy my weekend away. I would highly recommend them as a sitter!”
17. Lisa S.
“This was our first time broading our baby with someone who was not family so I was worried. BUT Lisa was wonderful and I highly recommend her. She was very professional upon our meet & greet. Asking all necessary questions to take the best care of our baby which made me feel more at ease. Once we started the boarding, she sent regular photos and videos and updates several times a day. Lisa has patience and has a kind heart which is needed for this business. Our baby seemed happy and well taken care of in all photos and videos. I now feel that I can go away at any time and not have to worry if I can't take our baby because Lisa will treat him like family.”
18. Sid D.
“Sidnia is beyond amazing! To start she's very accomadating as she picked up my dog Reese and dropped her off at my apartment. She also kept me updated with tons of pictures and truly made my pup feel right at home! Reese loved staying with her and her family. I will definitely be using her again and recommend her to anyone that's looking for a dog sitter!”
19. Kristin T.
“Kristin took really good care of our cat while we were away. We dropped him off with her and she is able to keep him separate from her own cat. She kept us updated with pictures and videos everyday which were so so nice to see. Absolutely recommend her!”
20. Anton S.
“Anton was great with Dexter. The last few sitters I left dexter with when I came back he seemed off. But not with Anton. Dexter seemed happy to be there and happy to see us again. Def will leave dexter in Antons care again. The picture updates helped be at ease seeing he was having a great time”
