I highly recommend Karla for anyone’s pet care needs. She was friendly, responsive and a delight to work with. She provided daily updates on my dog’s day with pictures. I look forward to working with her again!

From the start Wendy was so easy to work with for scheduling and quick to respond. She sent photos and check-ins throughout, which were really nice. Would definitely book again and recommend boarding with Wendy.

Erica and her husband were amazing! They have a huge yard and are very knowledgeable and friendly. Erica is amazing at giving updates. I received lots or pictures, videos and general info about how my dog was doing. She even helped me when we discovered my dog was biting her tail and was able to get her all settled while she was there. I would gladly send my dog back to her any time and highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a sitter!

This was my first time ever using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Vanessa was great and took really good care of my dog Jax. I could tell he was very happy when he was there especially when he was playing with Oreo and Moreno!! Vanessa is a great and trustworthy person and definitely will be going thru her again 😊

Second time using Teraesa and I must say…her consistency will keep me coming back. Her amazing communication, constant checking in and willingness to go above and beyond says it all for me. She is a “super host” as far as Jazzy and I are concerned. My dog always comes home happier than when I left her and that says alot. Thank you Teraesa…you are officially and forever my dog-sitter!

An AMAZING sitter. He is quickly becoming family. My dog LEAPS out of the car as soon as he sees him. I feel great going away knowing that my baby is being well taken care of. He is responsive and communicates often.

Meg was wonderful and took excellent care of our (sometimes grumpy!) dog, Bruno. She has extensive experience with animals of all temperaments, was consistently responsive to messages, and proactively sent daily updates. While we were away, we had abundant peace of mind that Bruno was doing well and in caring hands. Most tellingly, when Meg dropped him off, Bruno was more interested in sniffing her and her car rather than saying hi to us, which to us epitomizes how great of a time he had in Meg’s care. She was very accommodating, generally as well as with drop off / pick-up, understanding of Bruno’s odd tendencies, and happy to indulge his absolute obsession with fetch. We will certainly be reaching out again in the future when we next need someone to look after our pup.

My dog is like my furry kid. He’s very special to me so whenever I have to leave him I get super anxious. Lenford eased that anxiety. He was very warm and welcoming to me and my dog. He made me feel like I had nothing to worry about and that my dog was in caring hands. He’s also really communicative. He sent me lots of pictures and video to keep my updated on how my dog was doing in his care. Lenford is amazing and will be my go to from now on,

Michele and her family were absolutely amazing with my dog, Virgo! From start to finish, they showed so much love, patience, and care. They made him feel right at home and treated him like part of their family. Michele kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. When Virgo came home, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I can’t recommend Michele and her family enough we will definitely be booking with them again!

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.

I was nervous about leaving my dog with a sitter at first since this is the first time she would be boarding away from home, but Ziwei's dedication and attention to detail truly put my mind at ease. I received daily photo updates that not only warmed my heart but also reassured me that Fancy was in excellent hands. I feed fresh food to Fancy along with some supplements and Ziwei was able to follow instruction without any issue. She also updates me on walks, how Fancy is getting along with her two lovely dogs Rainbow and Nana and anything she finds cute that happens among the three of them. It seemed like Fancy had a good time and was well taken care of.

Judith is the best hands down!! I was able to enjoy my family get away with a peace of mind knowing Brooklyn was being so well taking care of. It felt like I left my puppy girl with family. This was my first experience using Rover but not my last ! She was awesome sending me pictures & videos made me feel like I was with my pup every step of the way. I got a bonus with my booking when I found out she trained my girl to potty outside & walk without a leash! First time but not the last time I will book as this was thee best experience ever.

I needed to find a last minute sitter as my usual one is unavailable. She is local to me which is great. We arranged for a meet and greet with our dogs and all went well (her dogs are so sweet!). She is very accommodating to my dog's needs and after picking her up the next day, she was so exhausted from a great time with Lauren and her family (humans and pets). We will definitely be booking with Lauren again!

Karla was great, she was very communicative with messages and photos. My border collie has a lot of energy and she did a great job taking him out to play with other dogs and get a lot of outdoor time. Will 100% use her again.

Anton came through for me with a super last-min request and was great with Alfie. He took him to the park to burn off energy, sent plenty of photos, and Alfie was happily tired when I picked him up. Highly recommend!

Edith was amazing! Highly recommend her. Great communication and would send us daily photo updates. Which we appreciated so much! It was our first time leaving our dog with someone outside of family and we never once felt like he wasn't with family because of her responsiveness. She would also make sure he would get his daily walks in. I would definitely use Edith again.
