Lauren looked after my baby while I was out of town, I was nervous because it was his first time spending the night away from me, but it’s safe to say that he had the time of his life! He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️

For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!

Sally was an amazing sitter! She let us bring our dogs over to her house to meet her before we booked to make sure we felt comfortable boarding them with her. She also sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were on our trip like we asked her to. Our dogs were in good hands with Sally!

Karl is an awesome sitter! You can really tell that you truly enjoys having dogs around. Every time we get to Karl’s, Zhuri sprints up to his house. We feel very comfortable leaving our dog with him and recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter!

Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!

Ellen took amazing care of my dog, Spud! I got daily picture check-ins, and Spud clearly felt at home—she ate all her food, got to socialize with other dogs, and even lounged on the bed and pillows. It’s clear Ellen treats the dogs like family. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!

Andrew is wonderful! My Bri was so well taken care of, she almost didn't want to go home. Andrew provides a wonderful home and family environment. Clean, dogs play openly and the videos and pictures show them all having fun and even playing with the kids who adore having dogs around. On a personal note, anyone who fosters a blind and deaf dog shows his love fir animals (BTW, the blind dogs played as much as t h e rest of them). This is not a sitter, the dogs feel at home. Thank you so much.

Brittney is an absolute lifesaver! She watched our dog Max for over a week. He happened to get sick completely out of the blue on day one (nothing to do with her care, just bad timing). She got him to the urgent care without hesitation, kept us updated, and was incredibly flexible with his meds and schedule. Through it all, she made sure Max felt loved with plenty of walks and playtime to keep his spirits high. We came home to a happy, healthy pup. If you want someone truly dependable, book Brittney—we can't thank her enough!

Sophie was great with Pax. She was clearly a dog lover and took wonderful care of Pax in her home. I received lots of updates and pics — communication was great from beginning to end. This was my first time leaving Pax with a sitter from Rover and Sophie made me feel very confident she would be well taken care of.

Marina was absolutely AMAZING with Chance! From the moment I dropped him off, I knew he was in great hands. She kept me updated with so many photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable he was the entire time. She took him on plenty of walks, gave him lots of love and attention. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had the best time. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! I would recommend Marina to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive to watch their pet. She’s the kind of person you hope to find, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Kaila has my recommendation with zero reservations. She went above and beyond navigating my dog's troubles with his food. She was perfect in her communication, and even drove to pick up special food for my pup. The end result was a healthy dog and my eternal gratitude. You're lucky if she's willing and able to help your dog and you!
