“Serena watched our 6 month old puppy at her house for a week, and he had a great time! She communicated with us every day, and we felt very at ease and able to enjoy our trip without worrying. She also has a very sweet dog who kept him company during his stay.”
“A true life saver! We attempted to keep our dog at a pet friendly hotel while we went to a concert, but Noodle decided she was going to let the hotel guests know how much she missed us by barking. We thought for sure we'd have to listen to the concert from the parking lot or just not go all together. Kathy responded very quickly, super nice and accommodating . Thank you again!”
“Amy and Scott took such good care of Ruby while we were gone. She had access to the house, the couch and the big back yard, which is everything she gets at home. Amy went above and beyond to communicate with me about Ruby’s well being, sending pictures and describing her activities and her relationship with her dog. Whenever we need a sitter, we’ll be contacting Amy first.”
“Dwight sent text messages and pictures of Bella, which I looked forward to, the communication helped to assure me that Bella was doing well. I could tell that Bella enjoyed her stay!!”
“Kyla tood great care of Winston. From the pictures, he had access to a good size yard that help release his puppy energy and need to play/explore. I received regular updates with photos. She was also very good with questions. She is also very experienced with dogs, especially high-energy puppies. I will definitely use her again.”
“Diana and Brian were great! We got so many pictures of our pups during our trip and felt so at peace knowing they were in good hands! They truly cared for them as if they were their own! Will be reaching out again!”
“Mercedes did an absolutely phenomenal job caring for my dog, Mugzy, during his first three-week stay with her. Mugzy can be incredibly nervous when separated from me, which made me highly anxious about leaving him with a sitter for the first time. Mercedes completely eased my worries with her warm, welcoming nature and exceptional organization.She gave Mugzy extra special attention, making him feel loved and completely at home. He had a wonderful time socializing with Mercedes and her children. Thanks to this experience, I feel entirely confident leaving him in her care for my upcoming travel.To top it all off, Mercedes baked delicious brownies for me, made special treats for Mugzy, and gave him a bath so he was fresh and clean at pickup. She even provided a detailed report card tracking his progress! I am incredibly grateful for Mercedes and highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-tier care for their furry family member.”
“Cai loved staying with Pennie and Winnie and playing with her pup friends. Pennie sent regular updates and photos of Cai and was flexible when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled and I had to book an extra day. Thank you for taking GREAT care of my girl!”
“Super thoughtful and experience with dogs. Sent videos and updates and was flexible when we needed to pick our dog up later than expected. Beautifully maintained home and neighborhood.”
“Once again, Michelle and her family took incredible care of Bilbo! They truly treat him like one of their own, and it brings so much peace of mind knowing he’s getting just as much love as he gives. The regular updates and photos keep me completely at ease while I'm away. We couldn't ask for a better sitter and cannot recommend Michelle highly enough!”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our greyhound! She listened closely to all of our instructions and sent tons of pics so that we knew our pup was doing well. Will definitely book her again for future trips!”
“We had an excellent experience with our dog sitter while we were away for six days. She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to ensure it was a great fit, which immediately gave us confidence in her care. Throughout our vacation, she provided consistent communication with thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, allowing us to truly relax knowing our dogs were well cared for. When one of our dogs experienced a decrease in appetite, she promptly communicated with us and worked through solutions, which we greatly appreciated. Her attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care for our dogs made our trip completely stress-free. We are very thankful to have found such a dedicated and involved sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”

“Susseth was amazing!! Constantly provided updates throughout our trip & had flawless communication. You can tell from the pictures she was sending our pups felt right at home the whole time. To anyone who loves their dogs you know the anxiety that can come with boarding them while you’re away for both pet and owner.. Susseth did such a good job in alleviating that every step along the way. 100/10 would recommend !”
“It was the first time using this site. I have never left Izzy with anyone before, but I was going away for a long weekend. I was so nervous to leave her and she cried when I dropped her off, but I knew she’d get over it because there were other dogs there and she loves to play. Desiree was awesome. Send pictures every day and videos which made me feel ease on my vacation. I would definitely recommend her. She has a wonderful set up and is wonderful with the dogs that she cares for. I will be calling her again when I go away.”
“I'm always nervous when we leave Luna with someone new, but Lorraine made it really easy with a meet and greet which made drop off simple. We received lots of pictures to reassure us. Lorraine was super easy to work with for drop off and pickup and was accomodating for Luna's minor issue with stairs. Luna came home very relaxed and tired, I'm guessing from the fun she had at Lorraine's!”
“Another great boarding visit! I’ve had to travel a bit more unexpectedly for work lately and Liliia has been so accommodating! As always great communication along daily videos/pics.”
“Our pup was so well-loved by Patricia and her family. From the second she met our dog I knew she was in good hands and the regular updates and pictures she sent reassured us of that. Could not recommend her services more highly!”

I’ve never left my furbaby with anyone outside of my immediate family, it was scary. I had looked at Rover previously but never used their services, now I am so glad I did. Rover helped me find the best care for Gigi and Iman has been great accommodating my late work schedule. Iman set my heart and mind at ease and I am so thankful for the love & care she provides my fur-baby Gigi and I are both grateful for Iman ❤️”
