“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
“Seureon & Dongkwan took such great care of Bruno! We reached out to them super last minute and they were kind enough to accept our same day boarding booking. We got frequent updates and they followed all of our instructions. We highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future! ❤️”
“Jessica was fantastic! I received pictures of every activity in addition to updates on feedings, sleep, potty, training and play time. Kian came home nice and tired after a day and sleepover full of fun! I will absolutely book again.”
“Jenny and her family welcomed Lupin into their home with open arms! He had a wonderful experience and I am sure will miss them and their dog Casper. I highly recommend Jenny and will definitely use her again as the need arises. I was nervous at first but she eased my concerns and sent pics of Lupin having fun!”
“Margarita is amazing, she regularly updated me on my baby boy by posting pictures and videos every morning and evening. I was nervous initially but she put my anxiety to rest. Thank you Margarita ?”
“Thank you Bhavani for taking care of my pup Rajah, I was so anxious leaving him for the weekend but happy he got to stay in a home where he was well taken care of and had a lot of play time! Thank you also for constantly keeping me updated with pictures and videos!”
“It was my first time booking with Melodie. She was wonderful and professional. She sent pictures throughout the boarding period to let me know my dog was well taken care of.”
“I had a wonderful experience with our Rover sitter! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, providing regular updates and sending pictures so I could see how my dog was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind to know he was in good hands. She administered his insulin without any issues and made sure to keep me informed every step of the way. I truly felt that my dog was safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I will absolutely be rebooking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Charlene was absolutely amazing! Her home and backyard is a perfect set up to host pets. Charlene loved and cared for my girls as though they were her own. Will definitely be using her again soon!”
“This was the first time we have used Rover for overnight boarding our 5 year old rescue (puppy mill momma) - Lina. Lisa and Albert and their family were so wonderful with her. Sending pictures and updating us on her eating and sleeping. Lisa even made special meal to entice Lina to eat. Our little pupper can be anxious, and Lisa was very supportive. We have a much longer family vacation upcoming, and know that our Lina will be in the best hands. Thank you Lisa and family!!!!”
“I believe my pups had the most comfortable and wonderful stay at Katherine and Lucas’s! They made their home so cozy and welcoming for my dogs, who are big couch potatoes, that they felt pretty secure in a new place. Not to mention their one family (of dogs!) at a time policy which works great for anxious dogs like mine who are insecure around other dogs. Lucas and Katherine are a great couple who genuinely seem to love dogs and they sent me daily updates and photos. After a few not so stellar experience with other sitters on this app, I feel like I’ve found the perfect caregivers for my fur babies! Highly recommend!”
“Monica is such a great dog sitter. Our boy Louie loves to stay with her and always is happy and content in her home. She even puts up with his vocal ways!! Lol I thank god for Monica, she makes being away from my dog baby a lot easier. I would recommend her to anyone that wants the dog well cared for and loved!!!”
“Hunter is very happy with Lupe’s care. The fenced yard is great, he loves staying there and always wants to stay more and not come back home. Parent communication is great and I have a great sense of relief having my beloved pet child under Lupe’s boarding care.”
“I recently had to leave my dog, Ash, with Ilene for a week, and I can’t express how grateful I am for her help, especially on such short notice. During Ash’s stay, I was going through a lot, including a move and a funeral, and having Ilene care for Ash truly took a huge weight off my shoulders. Ash can be a bit of a handful due to her strength, but Ilene was patient and worked with me to find a solution. By the end of the stay, Ash was so happy and well cared for—I could tell right away when I picked her up! The adorable pictures Ilene sent of Ash were such a comforting touch and really brightened my days. I’m beyond appreciative of Ilene’s kindness and care, and I would absolutely trust her with Ash again.”
“Gianna and her partner took wonderful care of our boy while we were away! I received lots of pictures and videos of him throughout the day—snuggled up on the couch, playing fetch, and thriving on his walks at the park. With Gianna’s knowledge and dedication to pet care, we felt at ease leaving him in their care. They handled his energy, anxiety, and heat sensitivity very well, and he seemed to have a lovely time during his week away home. We would absolutely recommend Gianna to anyone looking for a trusted sitter!”
“Shaun was so great with Scout! Sent helpful updates and Scout seemed so happy when I picked her up after four nights away. Would definitely recommend and I know Scout can’t wait to go back.”
“This was the first time since my boys were born in 2018 that they were dogsat by anyone else other than family and it was perfect. Bonnie and her family were fantastic. They kept my boys comfortable while I was away for a week and kept in constant touch to give updates and adorable photos so I could see how they were doing throughout the day. 100% would rebook in the future. Thanks Bonnie and Yee!”
“It was Duke’s first stay with Claudia. He was excited at drop off, no stress, no anxiety. Claudia sent pictures of Duke being his normal self throughout the evening. Extra appreciation and thanks to Claudia for accommodating the request for late pickup.”

We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. She was professional, reliable, and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she was loving, caring, and genuinely attentive to our dog’s needs. We could tell our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Erika was exceptional and really made my dog feel comfortable and cared for! She was very responsive and accommodating and even kindly bought additional food when my dog ran out. She is fantastic since she made her availability even include Christmas holiday. She was always kind, patient, and understanding. I highly recommend her service to anyone in search of a top rated pet sitter!
Thanks for caring for our dog! We really appreciate that Connie was able to accommodate our request on short notice. In addition, our dog had special health needs. Connie took this in stride and wanted to ensure she followed the care plan exactly. Our pup seemed to have a lovely time!
