“I can’t recommend Matt enough! This was the first time I’ve ever left my 15 year old pup with someone outside of family and Matt made the experience 100% stress free. He provided regular updates and made sure my pup had plenty of cuddles and attention. It was clear from the start my pup was in good hands and I felt at ease the entire time. I will definitely be using Matt again for future stays!”


“Amy took great care of my boy Bruno! I got losts of picture and video updates while I was away, so I never had to worry. My boy came home happy and healthy. We will definitely be bringing him back in the future!”


“We were so grateful for Danielle & her crew! She took great care of our pup and she was amazingly flexible and responsive. Very kind and loving and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her. Zero complaints! Only good vibes!”



“Certainly! Here's a potential review for Cyndi: I cannot recommend Cyndi highly enough as a dog sitter! She is incredibly professional and takes her responsibilities very seriously. My senior dog requires daily medications, and she handled everything with such care and expertise that I felt completely at ease. While I was away, Cyndi sent frequent updates, including photos and messages, to reassure me that everything was going smoothly. It was clear that my dog was in good hands, and her attentiveness and communication made all the difference. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and detail-oriented sitter, Cyndi is the one!”


“Nicole was a great sitter! She provided daily updates and answered right away when I had any questions. My dog had a great time staying there. She was in good hands and would definitely book with Nicole again!”


“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”


“Julie is awesome! She went way above and beyond what I expected and made huge efforts to make Ginger (my high-energy Harrier) comfortable in her home. I love that she used positive reinforcement to keep Ginger inline instead of negative feedback. Ginger even escaped from her house and thank goodness Julie was able to call her back. Julie sent tons of updates via video and pictures keeping me well informed of everything going on during her stay. Ginger had ZERO separation anxiety when I picked her up and brought her back to my house. She normally has very extreme separation anxiety and I was out of town for a long time, so this was a HUGE relief for me (and Ginger I imagine as well!) Having Ginger stay in a loving home environment was so much better for her than the typical dog boarding environments. I feel like I picked up Ginger from an extended sleepover, not an exity filled environment typical to boarding. I highly recommend Julie to watch your pet!!! Your little one will feel so loved and welcomed. Julie is awesome!!!”


“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”


“Amy has taken excellent care of my babies on multiple occasions. She takes them on walks, keeps them happy and safe. They always come home tired and happy. I know that when she takes care of my fur babies they get plenty of love, play and attention. We also adopted a cat, which made traveling a little more complicated, and she made visits to our home to make sure he was ok. We trust her fully with our babies. Thanks Amy!”


“Jesse has done a wonderful job taking care of my 7 year old Samoyed! He provides good photo updates, his dogs are friendly, and drop-off/pick-up is always easy. I would highly recommend, and look forward to using his services again in the future.”


“Pepper had a great time. Sarah sent lots of pictures of Pepper’s stay. Pepper got lots of exercise and was pooped from her exciting tome. I would definitely recommend Sarah and will use her services again.”


“Our pups had an awesome vacation with Raye. She sent so many videos and pictures and they looked so happy and exhausted in every one. They got plenty of outdoor time, walks and love while we were away!”


“Rubenpapo took such great care of Mav! My dog is pretty easy going and he lovedddd the spacious yard where he could just flip in the grass. Very easy going and very responsive. I’m sure Mav had a vacation too while I was gone.”


“Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!”


“Everything seemed to go well. First time leaving my dog with someone on rover so I was nervous, but Maria reassured me and Viva seemed happy when I picked her up.”


“Cheryl is great! She genuinely loves our dog, Simba and sends tons of photos and updates when he’s boarded there! This was our second time boarding him with Cheryl and it was absolutely awesome! Knowing that our fur baby is loved and cared for while we are out makes our vacations stress free! Thank you so much Cheryl!!”


“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”


“Kat was fantastic while watching our dog, Hope. She was very communicative and gave us updates while we were away. Kat was very kind to give Hope all the cuddles, which is top important business for this very demanding dog.”


“Absolutely amazing with my pup! Met Odin too and he’s sweet. Him and my girl got along just fine and my baby was so comfortable. I loved the updates throughout too”



“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”
