“Thank you Jessica for another great weekend with Carl. We always feel so relaxed leaving him with you, we know he is going to get all the best attention, walks and care. Excellent communication and wonderful photos as always. Thanks again!”

“Casey has truly changed how we feel about leaving our elderly dog in a sitters care. She provides a loving and safe home for our anxious old man to relax, reliably issues his many medications, keeps us updated with pictures and texts, and takes away our own anxiety that comes with leaving a pet for week+ travel. Petey absolutely loves Casey (and Ron!), and I could not recommend her more!”

“Wonderful man! My dog loved him and had a great time. I was nervous leaving my dog with a rover sitter, but Philip kept me updated and sent me pics. I felt at peace knowing Stitch was with someone who truly cared about him.”


“Isabella was so great with CC! She was great to communicate with, pick up and drop off was super easy, and I got back a very tired dog! I would love to have CC stay with her again.”


“Amazing! I booked a last minute stay over Fourth of July weekend and Mana was so accommodating. She squeezed in a pre stay introduction for the dogs, then took amazing care of Obi over the three days. I got so many photos (and a video) and she even refilled my poop bag dispenser from her own stash when ours ran out and sent obi home with a little extra treat. Outstanding sitter, would book again without hesitation.”

“Winston had the best time with Carolyn while we were away! She was super responsive and sent so many incredible pictures and videos, I had no doubt he was well taken care of and having a blast. He came home happy, tired, and healthy. I'd 100% recommend her to anyone!”

“Devan was excellent with Pepper, and was extremely meticulous in his communication. We received constant text and photo updates during his stay and that’s one of the most important qualities when caring for a pet.”

“Tianci was an amazing host for Cannoli! The level of care and attention to detail that she and her husband gave during his stay was nothing short of impeccable. They took Cannoli on tons of walks, showered him with toys and treats, and gave him an adorable bath and spa-treatment. I highly recommend Tianci as a sitter!!!”

“Eric was great with our dog Bloo. He sent us lots of pictures and updates each day. It gave us peace of mind to know our pup was being taken care of so well while we were away!”

“Adam was great again with our older big boy Peyton. He is our go to and top choice when we need a sitter! Communicative and caring and takes detailed notes for care instructions. Peyton is happy everytime he goes there.”

“Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!”

“I’ve been using Rover for years and must say Katie + fam was top notch - one of the best Ive experienced! Such a sweet family, sent lots of pics and updates. I could tell my pup was well taken care of and gave me so much peace of mind while away. Couldn’t recommend enough! I will definitely be using Katie again in the future”

“Megan was great with my senior dog and so flexible with our chaotic schedules. She has two sweet dogs who got along great with mine and I knew Whiskey Pete was in great hands!”

“Felix gave regular detailed updates about Monty’s stay with him! He made sure Monty had everything he needed and sent pictures of his days. I appreciated the dedication!”

“Margaret and Tony gave us the rare gift of peace of mind. From the moment we met them, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. They were wonderful with our two dogs—patient, affectionate, and attentive to their routines. While we were out of the country, they kept us updated and made sure our pups felt safe and loved. We came home to dogs who were content, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t ask for better sitters.”


“We had a great experience leaving our 7 month old puppy with Charmaine for four nights. We were nervous at first as this was our first time away, but she put us at ease and we felt like our puppy had a great time socializing with the other dogs. He appeared well cared for and calm when we picked him up. Charmaine was very easy to work with and responded to all of our questions thoroughly. It was nice to receive daily pictures of what our puppy was up to each day. We will definitely be using her services again in the future. Thank you Charmaine and family for the care you provided!”

“Max loved his stay with Lorena! He was actually bummed to come home. He got taken for lots of walks and we got daily pics of all the fun he was having. Will definitely book again soon.”

“Cheryl is awesome! She loves pups. Took our 2 pups on lots of walks and sent many pics / updates about the dogs days. When we got back the pups were already exhausted.”


“Vadzim was incredibly responsive with updates and photos of our pups. We felt very comfortable with them in his care. He let them get cozy on the couch and bed like they do at home and took them on walks! Highly recommend! Will be using Vadzim any time we need a dog sitter 🙂”

Keith was incredible as a dog sitter for my 14 year old dog with a number of ailments. So many pictures were shared that I did not feel like I missed out on being with my pet. He was very well cared for with meds, eye drops and his need to be walked in a dog stroller all the time. Thank you Keith. Wish I could leave him with you on my upcoming trip as well.
Alex and Kelley are wonderful!! They are both very kind and lovely people and a pleasure to work with. They watched our dog for over a week and took great care of him. They were very communicative and shared a lot of photos of their daily activities, so we were always at ease. They took extra care to administer his medication. Our dog always seems very excited to see them and decompresses and relaxes quickly at their place, which feels like a great sign. Would strongly recommend them!

Talia was fantastic in watching our boy Maverick. We really appreciated her flexibility with our move and unexpected delays in picking up Maverick. Her dog Cedar was a perfect companion for Maverick and gave him a break from a big move for us. We are really going to miss having Talia and Matt around as we move!

Lauren was amazing. She took great care of my dog and made her feel safe the whole time. She is experienced enough to take the right steps to avoid triggers when walking outside. I always felt relaxed knowing my dog was in such good, capable hands. I really appreciated her honest feedback on Goldie's behavior every single day. She communicated clearly about how Goldie was doing and my dog's reactive behavior on walks and at the dog park. Lauren also dropped my dog off on a last-minute request when my flight got delayed, which helped me so much. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a caring and dependable pet sitter!

James was an excellent sitter for Sugaree. I was gone for two weeks and had to make a few adjustments to the drop off and pick up time and he was very accommodating in that regard. He sent me lots of pictures and messages of them out, walking and running and kept me informed of what was going on with her the whole time. He followed specific instructions for administering specific dietary supplements and was just a great sitter that I trust, would definitely use again and highly recommend. Thank you, James!

Mana and Kento were absolutely amazing. They send pictures and videos of piper every day. They were very attentive of my pups needs and loved her like their own. I could tell at pick up that piper had a great time and was well taken care of. Next time that I need to go out of town I will want to use Mana and Kento!

Highly recommend Egor! We have two very different dogs with different needs - one older and anxious and one younger and a tad aggressive. Egor catered towards both their needs with so much care. He also gave regular updates and lots of pictures! His own dog, Courage, was a great companion and super respectful for our dogs differing boundaries. Thank you, Egor!

We had such a great experience with Joyce! She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and kept us updated throughout Lola’s entire stay. She was very reassuring and made us feel confident that Lola was in great hands, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.
