2. Sarah & Aaron B.

“Hans had a great time with their family. We appreciated the pictures and info on how he was doing. Always nice to see Hans getting snuggles in while we are away. Their other dog was a sweetie and got along with Hans perfectly. We will definitely book again when we have to head out of town next time.”

“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”


4. Ranae R.

“Ranae is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat client. She was very good at making sure our baby was comfortable and happy. She also checked in with me at least once per day, with photos, to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her.”




5. Donna T.

“I can’t say enough about Donna and Michael. My elderly dog has walking issues and requires extra care and attention. Donna and Michael not only are able to provide the care she needs but they do it happily and that means everything to me. I don’t worry about her when I am traveling because I know she is in good hands.”


6. Lisbeth S.

“Totally impressed! She took care of our babies as if they were her own. This was a long-term stay (6 weeks.) Would recommend her for your next trip.”


7. Linda A.

“Linda was very patient with Monty and she provided a loving space for our dogs to feel at home. Once he settled down he was attached to Linda's side. Linda sent several photos and it was nice to see our dogs and Linda’s dog all getting along and clearly feeling at home. Thank you for taking care of our dogs and the assurance that they were well cared for allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation.”


8. Lori M.

“Both Lori and husband Jim are very much dog lovers. Our pet Xena was well taken care of and it was obvious she enjoyed her stay. Pictures sent showed Xena was pampered just as much with Lori as she is at home. Will definitely book Lori again the next time we have an out of town trip.”


9. Lorraine B.

“Tito was very happy after his stay with Lorraine! She and her dog Dixie provided a very welcoming home. Communication was great both setting up the stay and during the stay. Thank you!!”


10. Carol C.

“I was really apprehensive about using a stranger to watch my two yorkies. To make matters worse, I had read horror stories about people leaving their furbabies with someone they found on Rover. I didn’t want to board my babies, so I decided to try a pet sitter instead—and I’m so glad I did! I found Carol through the Rover app and started a conversation with her. We set up a meet and greet the week before we were leaving. Carol was very warm and welcoming, and she immediately connected with my dogs. Her house was immaculate, and she had a nice fenced-in backyard. She even mentioned that she’d still walk them on a leash because they’re small and she didn’t want to take any chances with them slipping through the fence. That showed me how thoughtful and cautious she is. During our visit, my yorkies wandered around her house, sniffing and exploring. Before long, they jumped up on her couch and made themselves right at home! After meeting Carol in person and seeing how comfortable my pups were, I felt so much better and confident they’d be in good hands. Carol watched my babies for five days and four nights. Throughout their stay, she sent me regular updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Most of the time, they were snuggled up on the couch looking completely relaxed and happy. One day, Carol messaged to let me know that my female wasn’t eating much. I asked if she could get her a hamburger or something I knew she would eat, and I’d reimburse her. Carol offered to make chicken and rice instead, and after getting my okay, she whipped it up—and my pup ate with no problem after that! I really appreciate Carol for taking such wonderful care of my yorkies while we were away. She treated them like her own and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. I will definitely be using Carol again for future trips. She was amazing!”




11. Thelma C.


“Another successful stay with Thelma! Everything went perfectly and couldn’t have been easier! My dog is 12 years old and I feel very comfortable with Thelma taking good care of her. I would highly recommend Thelma.”


12. Stephany B.

“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”


13. Evelyn R.

“Evelyn was amazing! She was very accommodating. She cared for Charley as we would. Gave him lots of cuddles, walks, play time and so much more. She sent us pictures and kept us up to date with him. He loved her home and spacious fenced back yard. We would definitely seek Evelyn when we can’t bring our pup along. Thank You!”


14. Marlena B.


“Great attention to details, super communicative during the stay, and send a ton of pics. Definitely felt our pup was in good hands and would use again!”


15. Catalina C.

“Catalina was GREAT! Great communication, response time, engagement, timely, & so kind! She updated us with pictures & videos, letting me know Bentley’s daily activities. Bentley had a blast & came home so tired. I highly recommend Catalina for any & all of your pet’s needs. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much, Catalina!”


16. Marycarmen B.

“Marycarmen took very good care of my 3 month old puppy who was still recovering from an ear infection. She administered his ear drops, hand fed him because of his cone, and sent pictures to update me. Highly recommend!”


17. Kevin W.

“100% will be using Kevin again. It’s super nice going out of town knowing your fur baby is well taken care of. Kevin is a super nice dude and took great care of my little boy. The yard is a huge plus, since I don’t have a backyard at home - my dog is high energy and it’s super good that he had a spot to run around and chase his tail.”


18. Dr. Hope R.

“My pups had a great time!!! Hope sent pictures and kept me updated the whole time. Her home is so dog friendly with toys and dog beds galore. I picked them up today and already booked their next stay!!”


19. Stephanie & Elizabeth B.


“Stephanie and Elizabeth are very professional dog watchers and take their responsibilities very seriously. They did an amazing job watching our dog for 3 weeks. They were patient when he had trouble adjusting the first few days, and earned his trust so that he became very comfortable and happy for the duration of his stay. They shared photos and helpful messages on the requested schedule I would highly recommend.”




20. Tina N.


“Tina was great with my boy Iverson. She was extremely patient and understanding when it came to his puppy tendencies. She took a ton of pictures for me and gave me some great feedback on how he did during his stay overnight.”
