“Highly recommend Jenean! This was the first time leaving my puppy with someone else, and I felt comfortable knowing that my dog would be the only one Jenean was caring for at the same time. She has a lovely home, a sweet personality, and took my dog for daily walks. She also was wonderfully easy to work with -- VERY responsive to text messages. Will definitely re-book for future trips!”
“Excellent experience! Our dog had a great time while he was there, and he was very well cared for. We also received many lovely photos that helped us miss him just a bit less 😉. We Highly recommend Brayden and Noel!”
“Judith watched our 7-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog for two weeks while we were visiting family on the East Coast, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Having our sweet senior boy with her felt like leaving him with family. She sent us regular photo updates, gave him so much love, and really understood his needs. Judith is wonderful with dogs—especially seniors—and had no trouble giving his medication and keeping a close eye on him. We’ll absolutely have him stay with her again.”
“Patrick and his brother are wonderful with our puppy for her first stay. She got along and made friends with their dog, and was well taken care of based on the daily updates. Our puppy is shy, but they were able to get her familiar with their home and dog. They also learned what she likes and she was a happy puppy during her stay, and when we picked her up. Thank you so much Justin and Patrick for taking great care of Ginger. We highly recommend Patrick and Justin for dog sitting experience you can absolutely trust.”
“Peter and Sarah were absolutely incredible with our 9 month old Scout! He stayed with them for 10 days while our house went on the market and we had showings. They sent pictures and video updates and were always keeping me in the loop on how he was getting along with their other dogs! This was like going to the dog park for 10 days for our boy and he loved it! I would book them again in a heartbeat if we weren't moving out of the area!”
“Eun took great care of our dog while we were out of town. I knew he had a good time because there were no complaints on the car ride home. He just came back very calm ☺️ Eun also sent me pictures and updates during his stay, so nice because we really miss him when we’re away. Highly recommend Eun!”
“Repeat customers here! Bear is at home with Shirley & Tim. It's so nice to be able to trust someone with our special furry family member while we're away. We get photos, videos & frequent updates 🧡”
“Vicki was a fantastic dog sitter for our puppy Bruno. He had the best time with her. Loved all the photo and video updates we got from Vicki. She was super easy to communicate with and very responsive.”
“Chris and Eugena are wonderful. My dogs were so comfortable at their home, and they offered daily and adorable updates. They were very loving and attentive with my boys. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Darren took great care of our maltipoo Nutmeg! Good communication and pictures. Nutmeg went on walks and a car ride every day. Darren works from home which is great for our sociable dog. Nutmeg got to hang out with Darren’s good dog Saturn. Darren has a beautiful fenced grass yard and we will have Nutmeg stay again.”
“Our pup had a great time with this loving family! Maria is very communicative and sent updates throughout the stay, and the girls are so sweet and gentle with our dog! I’m sure she’ll be excited to see them again!”
“Caio was amazing! I always feel nervous when I have to leave Spartacus for a few nights but Caio made him feel right at home! I loved his pictures and video updates! Spartacus is usually afraid of other pups but Caio had him playing and jumping around with other furry friends!”
“Our dog loved staying at Stefanie’s with her dog Prince. She always sent us updates and pictures. We would love to rebook with her in the future because she’s amazing!”
“Allison responded quickly and was attentive to Mika’s special needs. She was able to board her and the transition was easy. Allison’s home is spacious and accommodating whether dogs need to roam freely in a fenced backyard/front yard or can relax cozy inside. I highly recommend Allison to take care of your loved ones. Thank you so much! This won’t be the last time :)”
“Our King Charles Cavalier Dash stayed with Crystal for 10 days during our travel. We picked Crystal to look after Dash after meeting 5-6 different folks on Rover. We thought she was the most professional and knew what questions to ask when taking care of someone else’s pet. Our experience was great during and after the stay. Crystal sent regular pics multiple times day, took care of Dash’s food needs (he eats fish everyday!) and walked, played and loved him just like her own. She took him to BBQ parties (he loves meeting people) and basically hung out with him through the stay. Dash got sick the last day of stay - she was kind enough to take care of the mess he mess he made as well. We will definitely book with Crystal again! Thank you Crystal!”
“Sarah is an amazing dogsitter who stepped in last minute to care for Mocha after our original sitter canceled. During Mocha’s stay, we unexpectedly had to extend for another week due to a family emergency, and Sarah was incredibly accommodating. Mocha became besties with Sarah’s dog, Grizzly and we received daily photos and updates of them together. Mocha was clearly well loved and well cared for - plenty of toys, playtime, multiple walks each day and daily bone treats. Sarah’s experience with dogs truly shows. I highly recommend Sarah to other pet parents. She treated Mocha like her own and we couldn’t have asked for better care.”

Absolutely awesome job watching Linguini! Pictures and updates were fantastic, I could tell he was having a good time and he was well taken care of! He currently has allergies and she made sure he got his special food and allergy meds! Will definitely use for next time!
Giselle was great with Noodles! He did a trial stay with her yesterday and overnight into today, and everything went really well. She made me feel comfortable leaving him with her, kept him safe, and Noodles seemed happy and well cared for. I really appreciated how smooth the whole experience was and would definitely trust Giselle to watch him again. Highly recommend!
Meza was extremely great! She was communicative and kept me updated with pictures and videos. I accidentally overslept after traveling internationally and she made arrangements to keep my dog for extra night though that wasn’t necessary. She and her boyfriend are incredible people
Chris and Eugenia were absolutely wonderful. They made our goldendoodle, Capri, feel so comfortable and truly at home while we were away. They have a wonderful yard for her to run and play, which she absolutely loved. We also really appreciated how responsive Chris was and how easy it was to communicate with them throughout the entire stay. They were attentive, caring, and went above and beyond by sending us photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Capri was happy and so well taken care of the entire time. We will definitely be using them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving and reliable dog sitter!
Our first time using using rover and Jessica answered all our questions and put us at ease. From the minute they met her they both felt very comfortable. She provided pictures and updates pretty frequently which put us at ease. Will definitely recommend for anyone looking for dog care in the area!
My dog spent two weeks with Stacey and her family and I highly recommend the attention and care that she and her son gave Nova. I was kept updated with pictures and video and my trip was more relaxed knowing that Nova is comfortable and given a lot of attention. I am recommending Stacey and will definitely use her services when traveling.
Excellent dog sitter, our husky had a friend to play with for a few days and our dog looked completely at ease and relaxed with Daniela, laying on her back with tummy exposed and smiling. (Yes, dogs can smile when happy and content). Daniela was very flexible and helped out with a last minute reservation and we could not have asked for more. We will definitely use her services in the future.
Thank you for taking care of Loki! We knew Loki was well looked after, from the daily updates with pictures and videos; from the affection showered on him even though he is sometimes difficult. You made sure Loki was comfortable and gave him a blanket, when we should have brought one. We are so grateful that you made this experience easy for Loki and for us. <3
We have an older dog, and Christina really took great care of her. She sent us pictures every day, texted us when she had concerns, and basically took care of our dog like she was her own. I would give her the highest recommendation. Her and her husband both seem like very kind people.
Casey and Sarah are great! Pickles loves going to hang with their dachshund and other doggie day care pooches. The daily pics are fun to receive, and I can tell that he is living his best pug life on the couch, etc. Having a trusted pet sitter takes that concern away from travel, and I highly recommend their services!
Jess did an amazing job watching my dog, Thor! She kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. It was clear Thor was well cared for and happy the entire time. Communication was smooth and consistent, and I really appreciated the extra effort she put in. I would absolutely trust Jess to watch Thor again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Jaimie treated Pepper like her own! Her attention to detail is amazing—she even took notes during our meet and greet to make sure she didn't miss a thing. The updates and pictures she sent yesterday kept us smiling and totally at ease. Pepper was so happy! We will definitely be booking Jaimie again💖
Kedarnath and his wife were very caring and considerate with our dog Daisy. We left Daisy (7YO German Shepherd) with them for 9 days and everything went smoothly. They handled feeding, walking, daily meds, play, and kept our dog safe. They sent us daily pics when requested. I would happily use them again.
