“This was a wonderful experience for both our dog and us. Jesse and Emily (and their awesome kids) made his stay fun and comfortable. They allowed him to be a pup while also reinforcing the appropriate expectations of the home and being a good dog. They sent photos daily and were awesome communicators. We will definitely use them again.”
“Lola had a wonderful time with Svitlana. Svitlana clearly loves dogs and took such good care of my dog. She sent updates with photos and videos regularly to let us know how Lola was doing. I would definitely book again!”
“Hannah is amazing! She's a real dog whisperer. Our pup HATES cats so we were nervous to live him with her because Hannah cares for a number of cats as well. Low and behold, this dog SLEPT in the same bed as a couple of cats and he was completely unfazed. Unreal. Thanks Hannah. Looking forward to booking again soon :)”
“Hillary was fantastic! Whaley stayed with her for 10 days and we received continuous communication and pictures. He was even hesitant to leave her house when we went to pick him up because he was so happy there.”
“I highly recommend Aly B. She quickly answered all of my questions, both before and during my dog’s stay, sent daily photos, and kept my high energy dog safe and happy. A few days after my dog’s stay, Sunshine saw Aly and was so excited to see her, confirming that Aly provided a welcoming environment for my dog during her stay. I will definitely use Aly again to care for my fur baby.”
“Ava took great care of my two dogs. She’s got a huge backyard that’s fully fenced in. My pup, Jagger, didn’t want to leave come pick up time! I’ll definitely use her services again.”
“Linkin had a wonderful time with Julie and her family! I could not have asked for a better communicator, and “fill in” dog mom while I was away! Linkin was well taken care of and sooo happy! Thank you for your help!”
About: We love dogs and have a friendly 7-year-old pup who gets along well with other dogs. We will provide a safe, loving environment and personalized care so your dog feels right at home! I work from home, so I have availability during my 9-5 work day to be able to care for your dog and take them on walks or do drop-ins. We will make sure to give your pet lots of love and attention and take them on walks or play with them to get their energy out.
“Rebecca has a wonderful space and very lovely playful pups! We had a great meet and greet to ensure it was a good fit and booked when we all felt it was! She provided good updates and was flexible with us and our pup. She is an experienced doggy caretaker and our dog had a great time and came back to us happy and tired from all the playtime and walking. Couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Mark and Daniel did ana amazing job looking after the pups for the weekend so much love and care was put into ensuring their stay was comfortable and enjoyable! They were also great about sending updates and pictures throughout the dogs stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great place for their fur babies.”
“As always, Bucky was so well cared for with Jani & Paul. We are so happy to have found this home away from home for him! I would definitely recommend them to anyone.”
“Brooke was wonderful! She took care of our dog and my son's and daughter-in-law's dog during their wedding weekend. She even brought their dog to the wedding so she could be in it! Highly recommend!”
“Mariellen and Robert took great care of my Lizzy and sent several pictures & updates of her while we were out of town. They kept such good care of her as I believe they would any pet in their charge. Thank you!”
“Mary and her boys kept Lulu for one evening, and we have booked again~ They are welcoming, excited to care for your dog, and very genuine. Her boys, especially the younger 2, Hayden and Elliott were right there to offer care to my dog. She was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. Highly recommend!”
“Accommodated a last-minute boarding request and was very flexible and responsive. We really appreciated her care and Mowgli‘s playfulness which helped our dog feel more comfortable. Would recommend!”
“Hank came home exhausted which means he had a blast. Cynthia did a great job in every Dept from communication to updates throughout the weekend. We were extremely pleased with her work.”
About: I’ve taken care of and helped train dogs since I was 16 years old. I absolutely adore them and love giving dogs all the attention they need and deserve. I would love to take care of your baby! I work from home so I can watch your dog and be with them all day long! I typically take dogs out 4 or more times during the day when I watch them (2 of which being extended walks). I do not have any direct outdoor space other than a patio, I will take your pup for walks around the neighborhood. I typically stay away from other dogs when on walks so as to avoid putting your pup in any unsafe situations!

Julie and her family took excellent care of Spencer when we were out of town! She sent regular updates and pics so we could see how well he was doing. It gave us such peace of mind to know that he was having great time. We'll definitely be reaching out to Julie again when we need a sitter for Spencer.
Kelley was the ABSOLUTE BEST! She and her husband (and their sweet dog Piper) were the perfect hosts to our dog Baylee. While Baylee has the tendency to get a bit anxious or temperamental around strangers, she made herself right at home due to the welcoming and warm nature of Kelley and her beautiful crew. Kelley was amazing with her communication - regularly sending photos, texts, and updates - so I knew how Baylee was doing the entire time we were gone. As a result, we were able to fully enjoy our trip knowing our pup was being well cared for a completely spoiled. 15/10 would recommend Kelley as your next dog sitter... Unless I need her to watch Baylee, because there's no one else we'd use as a dog sitter from hereon out! :)
Tionna took amazing care of my 1.8yo female German Shepherd Dog named Dasha for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent multiple updates and photos every single day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Dasha was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of attention. When I picked up Dasha, she came back happy, relaxed, and completely herself — not stressed or withdrawn in any way. You can truly tell when a dog has been treated with kindness, and that was absolutely the case here. I would 100% use Tionna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and attentive sitter. Thank you, Tionna!
Izzy is the best sitter! Our dog, Maisie, seemed to know this before she even got inside the apartment. All wags and up on the couch and happy before we got down the road. Great communication, too—photos and videos—and a play date at Izzy’s family home with two Doodles on top of all the good care. We can’t wait to book again.
Angel seemed very happy to stay with Indira for a week. Indira was flexible and accommodating with my work travel and her place was clean, organized, and a good calm space for my pup. She reached out when Angel was having a hard time and was able to resolve the issue quickly with some feedback. Would definitely use her again.
This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.
Griffin was fantastic. I could tell how thoughtful and caring he was from when I first reached out. He has a calm reassuring presence and was very attentive to details about Sophie’s care, and immediately responded whenever I messaged him. He also sent me photo and video updates each day wherein I could tell how genuinely happy and relaxed Sophie was with him. It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous about it, and I feel like I got so lucky. I highly, highly recommend Griffin for dog care!!
Brooke did an excellent job taking care of our dog. She was very responsive to all our messages and sent regular updates and photos each day. She was also incredibly flexible with our pickup time after a delayed return flight. We definitely would book with Brooke again!
