“Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.”

“Our two golden doodles loved their long weekend stay with Matt and Cooper (Matt’s adorable and gentle dog). Matt sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout their stay. We’ve already booked our next stay with Matt and Cooper and I’m just so glad to have a reliable and caring home for my dogs.”

“Michaela was AMAZING! So sweet and attentive to Violet, and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. She administered Violet’s medications and special food three times a day with no issues and made everything feel effortless. Michaela was also very easy to schedule with and super responsive with communication. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”

“Julie does a great job taking care of Yuki! Yuki is a better dog when she comes back. Julie is first on our list if we go away. I never worry when she's with Julie, and for Yuki it's a spa weekend. Until next time!”

“Raye is one of a kind! She is very attentive and punctual. My pup loves and enjoys her stay each and every time. Raye sends tons of photos and videos which is helpful when away from my baby. We will choose Raye each and every time!”

“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”


“Aaren and Jordan were such fabulous sitters for my itty bitty 80lbs pittie! They sent several pics and vids throughout his 2day stay which definitely put me as ease. Highly recommend!”
“Le’Quitta was absolutely wonderful with Honey! From the very beginning, she was thoughtful and communicative. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she even brought one of her dogs to make sure Honey would be comfortable since she can be a little reactive around other dogs. Just before our trip, Honey unexpectedly needed stitches and had to wear a cone while taking medication every 12 hours. Le’Quitta didn’t hesitate—she happily took on the extra care, administered Honey’s medications, and gave us complete peace of mind so we could still enjoy our weekend away. Throughout Honey’s stay, Le’Quitta sent frequent updates and photos, and it was obvious Honey was having the best time playing with the other dogs. She even had her first positive introduction to a cat! Every picture showed a happy, smiling dog who was clearly loved and well cared for. I’m so grateful for Le’Quitta flexibility, communication, and genuine care for Honey. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”


“Cyndi was nothing short of amazing while taking care of our dog Birdie for a week! We were in constant communication as she sent me messages and pictures of her every morning and night. In all of the pictures, Birdie looked so comfortable and I know that Cyndi took care of our girl like her own!”


“Hilary and Willlie are fantastic. I was totally comfortable having our dog Layla away from us for over a week for the first time. She was totally taken care of and loved. The daily updates were great. Thank you so much.”

“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. They were reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. Communication was consistent throughout, and I appreciated the updates and attention to detail. My dog came back happy, well cared for, and in great condition, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”

“Libby was a lifesaver for us. She took care of our geriatric Golden for three days while we were away, then stepped up for an additional four days at the last moment due a a medical emergency, even buying addition food and supplements as needed. She is clearly a dog lover, and our Golden was very comfortable and well cared for with her and her two dogs. Excellent communication and lots of photos completely set our minds at ease at a time when we didn’t need any additional worries. We even got a thorough report-card and little polaroid of our Golden when we picked her up. I can’t say enough good things about Libby. Your dog would be very lucky to have her as a sitter.”

“Amanda was absolutely incredible. She was super communicative throughout our dog's entire stay. We loved all the updates and pictures. We could tell our dog was being loved and cared for, which put us at ease while we were out of town. Would 100% recommend Amanda.”

“My Penelope got the opportunity to spend time with Damacia. The best care was given to Miss P she came home nice and tired. Damacia sent pictures of her and kept me informed. Give Damacia a try. You won’t be disappointed and you can enjoy your trip with a peace of mind.”


“Jeff was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it definitely was clear that zeph had a great time! Jeff was very communicative and spent plenty of time to get to know both me and Zeph on a meet and greet prior to our stay. He sent plenty of pictures and updates and catered to zephyrs routine which I'm so beyond grateful for! Zeph will absolutely be visiting his now Uncle Jeff again soon! Thank you so much for being so great with Zephyr!!!”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing at handling my dogs even when they’re nervous about being in a new environment and being around other dogs. She always takes great care of them and sends update pictures and videos on her own initiative! She’s my go-to and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Alice came home from a long stay happy, relaxed, and waggy. Grateful to Ross and Ava for their thoughtful care, communication, flexibility, and laid back orientation. We (and by we, I do mean Alice…) will be back!”

“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”

Michaela consistently cares amazingly well for my pup while I’m away. She attends to my dog’s specific needs and personality, creating an environment that allows my girl to relax and be herself. My doggo’s needs are always met and I’m able to travel with assurance that she’ll be taken care of with love and care. Thank you, Michaela!!
My dog, Nina, is a people dog and she was very happy to stay with Julie and her husband. Nina has a few quirks and Julie accommodated and took great care of her. Julie was great at communicating at every step from booking, drop off, daily updates, etc. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone for her wonderful care and kindness.

Noel was amazing to work with! She responded quickly after a rover cancelled. We got a quick meet in and greet in and it was perfect! Her home has a nice back yard and her and her boyfriend provided so much love and attention! Great people and a beautiful home, can’t recommend enough.

Gaelle took wonderful care of Oakland while I was away! Oakland was feeling a bit under the weather from anxiety leading up to my trip, and Gaelle was incredibly attentive, keeping a close eye on her and sending regular updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. Thankfully, Oakland's stomach settled, and it was clear she was in great hands throughout her stay. I really appreciated the care, communication, and kindness Gaelle showed. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Niely was responsive, communicative, and pleasant with which to work. She boarded our two family dogs, including a puppy we've had only two weeks, over the weekend with little notice. She took excellent care of them and showed great patience with our new little guy, introducing him to her cats and incentivizing good behavior. Highly recommend!

Beth is incredible! I was so nervous to use Rover for the first time with my precious Boujee, but after the first stay, Boujee was back in a week for a second stay! Beth is very attentive, always sends cute pictures, and her sweet Penelope was the perfect new friend for my Bouj! We will definitely be seeing Beth again!!

Excellent experience leaving my two small dogs with Mich (and Milo). My dogs felt at home right away. Mich's house is beautiful and dog-friendly and has a nice fenced in back yard. Milo is super sweet and was very gentle around my small dogs. I will definitely be booking with Mich again!
