1. Kira E.
“This is the 2nd time my dog, Donut, stayed at Kira’s with her family. She had lots of fun!! Kira and her family treated Donut as their own. We receive many pictures per day during the last week. My dog always looks happy in those pics. I really appreciate Kira’s love for my dog because Donut always needs high maintenance and she had a back injury that needs extra attention. Kira was super responsible and understands our concern. I would highly recommend Kira and will go back to her when we need!”
2. Nitasha & Neerav S.
“Nitasha took great care of our dog while we were away. We received daily updates about his behavior when it came to eating, sleeping and playing. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pet, you can trust they will be in good hands with Nitasha.”
3. Yao Y.
“Barry had a blast staying with Yao and Doudou! Yao took Barry on lots of walks and sent many photos.”
4. Christina A.
“Lennox and I absolutely adore Christina! She is so sweet and welcoming. Lennox just completed his second stay with her and you can tell he enjoys her care and company! Lennox thinks he is the only pup in the world and Christina does the an excellent job of making him feel that way (lol). I love her attention to detail - her profile book with all the pertinent information, the special care (adding rice to his food to get him to eat) and the many photos and videos during his stay. There have been very few sitters I've found on Rover that have made me feel comfortable the entire stay, Christina is one of them! If you are fortunate enough to book her, do know your pet/fur baby will be well taken care of!”
5. Yushan & Sam J.
“Yushan and Sam took a great care of Eddie. Yushan sent us photos and updates on a daily basis. She also asked questions to make sure to accommodate Eddie’s needs.”
6. Kecia O.
“Kecia was an A+ sitter: gracious, kind, an excellent communicator, and she took wonderful care of our little dog Cleo. We’re so glad we found her!”
7. Hawthorne & Wei S.
“hawthorne took wonderful care of my baby charlie who is a young puppy with super high energy and not the easiest to care for ?. he sent me frequent updates and photos and was very responsive! charlie was immediately comfortable with him when they first met and i knew he’d be in good hands. will definitely book again!”
8. Caren H.
“Caren was absolutely wonderful - 5/5 stars. She was responsive, a proactive planner, frequent communicator, and joy to work with. My one dog has eating issues and she worked with him to eat his food, mixing her dogs treats (after consultation) to help him. I would be happy to have her sit my two again without reservation.”
9. Kate & Alex T.
“Kate and Alex were amazing, helping us out on a last minute request to watch our senior dog. He can be an anxious guy but I could tell right away from the photos they shared, that he settled right in. Within hours they knew he liked to lay in the sun and be taken on outings. They were very diligent about making sure he received his correct medications too. Its always a big relief to know you made the right pick so thank you both again for taking such good care of Pingu. :)”
10. Matthew B.
“Matt was fantastic with my dog Tako. She took to him instantly, which she rarely does, and I felt comfortable with him right away as well. Easy communication, easy drop-off and pick-up - would absolutely recommend!”
11. Kimberli B.
“Kimberli is fantastic! She took wonderful care of my dog, who is getting on in years and takes meds. I could see how comfy my dog was with her & I’m already booking her again!”
12. Rochelle D.
“Rochelle did a great job boarding our two cats for two weeks while we had some work being done at our house. Her setup is great - she works from home, so they aren't alone most of the day. Professional and accommodating. Clearly loves cats and sent daily pictures. I'd absolutely recommend her services!”
13. Junaid A.
“Amazing. I read all the reviews and knew this would be a great sitter for my puppy, Bruno. But, this exceeded all expectations. I received updates, videos and photos galore. More than I take on my own. Bruno is back and walks and trained better than when I dropped him off. Communication and coordination was easy. I did have to extend an extra night without issue. Junaid will be me go-to sitter in the area.”
14. Sal G.
“Sal did a great job taking care of Leo! We experienced some emergencies around pickup and he was helpful and understanding the whole time! Would highly recommend”
15. Peter M.
“Peter was very professional - great communication leading up to boarding our pup and all the way through. Our dog is very nervous but Peter worked hard right away to make him feel comfortable. I could tell from the photos that he was happy and having fun.”
16. Aksel S.
“Aksel was amazing in communicating and being extremely flexible. Most of all keeping me updated with pictures and information how on my little pup was doing!”
17. Ellana G.
“Ellana has taken care of my two pups a few times and has done a wonderful job. The boys come back happy and well cared for. Ellana has also been great working around travel difficulties and delays by being flexible and keeping the boys a few extra days. She’s a total lifesaver! Highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!”
18. William & Jungeun K.
“William and Jungeun took such good care of my baby! He can be anxious (which both sitters were really sensitive to) but my dog seemed to warm up to them really well. They gave him lots of cuddles and exercise throughout his stay, which I appreciate. I also loved the frequent photo and text updates so I could know how my doggo was doing - it’s clear that they took the time to make their space safe, clean, and pet-friendly, and that my boy had lots of room to play. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with William and Jungeun and I will definitely rebook.”
19. Hoiping N.
“Hoiping was so great to my dog Opie, he went above and beyond taking him to dog parks all over the city and working on training! Opie came home happy, exhausted from playing and learning and even more well behaved! Great communication and lots of updates throughout his stay as well.”
20. Anne A.
“Logan had a wonderful time. Usually when we pick him up from a sitter he’s so ready to go home he’s pulling me away. He couldn’t stop looking back to see if Anne was coming. Couldn’t be happier!”
