“I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough! She recently watched our dog, Hazel, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. From the moment we dropped Hazel off, Stephanie provided excellent and frequent updates, including photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear that Hazel was having a great time and felt completely comfortable in her care. Stephanie was incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely treated Hazel like her own family. Hazel came home tired, happy, and clearly well-loved. If you're looking for a trustworthy, loving, and professional sitter on Rover, book Stephanie—we certainly will be booking her again!”

“This was the 2nd time Katie and Samuel’s family took care of Jarvis while we were away. We were very excited when they were available for these dates because Jarvis had a great time with them the first time. They did such an amazing job with him again and it really seemed like Jarvis felt right a home. They always send frequent updates and pictures which is really appreciated :)”

“Kristin & Bruce were great hosts for our Corgi, JJ. This was our first time using Rover and they made the entire process easy, from drop off to pickup.

They were so kind and accommodating when my travel plans changed several times, and I could tell that Henry was very loved and well cared for.

“Paula was great communicating and even ended up spending the evenings with my pup on the sofa since she wasn't comfortable alone. She also gave necessary medication and kept track of everything as I had asked. She sent pictures and kept my dog happy and safe, would recommend and use again. Thank you!”

“Emily was the perfect sitter for Marley!! For a pup that tends to get a little anxious at first around other dogs, Emily immediately invited me to be there with her when she first met all the other dogs and got settled. It truly meant the world!! She also sent so many pictures and Marley was the happiest girl in all of them! Thank you Emily!!!”
