“Tracy is the best dog sitter! My dog was given the attention she likes. There were other dogs that my pet met at Tracy’s that she made friends with. She got to play outside and go for walks. It was her dream come true!”

“Great place to board our dog for a week away. Stacey was super responsive and kept us in the loop the whole time. Definitely hope to have her watch our dog again in the future.”

“Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week. Her daughters seemed really engaged and loving on my dog, making me feel confident she was receiving all the love and affection she gets at home. When I picked her up, my dog seemed so relaxed, almost as if she hadn’t been gone all that time, helping me feel confident she was safe and loved on. Usually after boarding in a facility, my dog is highly anxious, extra agitated and disheveled. None of that here with Sarah. Her and her family were truly the best sitters. I never worried once while away.”

“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hank! Communication was great and prompt. She provided plenty of exercise and play time with her dog, and even gave Hank a bath when he got muddy.”


“Andrew and his family were amazing with Oscar. They treated him like he was a part of their family. I so appreciate everything they did! Thank you so much!!!”


“Dan and Holly are two of the most caring people around. They took great care of my border collie, Buddy, and assured me that his 2 week stay with them would be a positive experience. I had absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Buddy become a temporary part of their family during his stay and was afforded all of the attention that he needed. What a fantastic set of canine caregivers Dan and Holly are. My extreme gratitude goes out to them.”

“Lisa was great as always! She made my dog feel comfortable and kept me informed of how she was doing. My dog seemed very happy and I appreciate everything Lisa did! Definitely recommend. 😊”

“Janice was great with our Frenchie Otis. He can be timid when staying at new locations and Janice made sure he was comfortable and provided us with plenty of videos, pictures, and updates. I would recommend Janice for your pup!”


“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”

“I highly recommend and trust Maria & Nayibe in taking care of my fur baby while we are away. Daily communication, updates and photos of my pet are very much appreciated and give peace of mind knowing my dog is in good hands. This mom & daughter care for and love my Zoe as their own. Thank you both”


“Scott and his dog Lucy were a great match for Roo! I received multiple picture updates and he was great at communicating. We met up beforehand to ensure a good match, and it was clear Scott has a natural way with dogs. Would gladly rebook!”

“Jill is absolutely amazing! This is the first time we’ve left out pup who is deaf and has separation anxiety in years and we trust Jill wholeheartedly. She is absolutely our favorite sitter!”

“Scott and family again were fantastic to our family. Our Penny was treated like part of the family. Will definitely book with them again when we need to get out of WI. Thank you. !!”

“I was nervous leaving my boys in someone else's home. From the meet and greet it was obvious that Zach would be a great fit for my boys! He was engaging and they both liked him alot right away. When I dropped them off, they were excited to be there!! Zach was Great with communication, sending a Pic and video answering me quickly. I would definitely recommend Zach!! I will definitely have him watch them again if needed and if he accepted!!”

“Stella stayed with Dawn and her family for a few days. Overall, the stay sounds like it went well. She has a nice fenced yard for her to run and play ball. They communicated and sent pictures and were quick to respond to messages.”

“Thank you for looking after Bobo! How great he remembered you as he was wagging his tail right as you stepped out! He had a fantastic time and learned a lot!”

“As a furbaby mama, there is always a heart tug when I need to leave my dog.. Kellene was just awesome how she would care and love my my dog Precious...Kellene also brought this mama joy and comfort by the updates and pictures throughout my time away from Precious. I would highly recommend her and her dog Coco....”

“This was our first time using Rover. We had last minute work done in our house where the cats had to be gone. Aidan and Dani were amazingly patient with our four cats who have quite unique personalities.”

“I highly recommend Laura! Her easy-going & friendly demeanor was evident from our first meeting, making my decision to leave Rupert with her for a long weekend a no brainer. I really appreciated the updates & photos she shared throughout Rupert's stay with her. It was apparent when I picked him up, that he had enjoyed his time with Laura & her pup, Diesel. I will absolutely book with Laura again!”

We could not have asked for a better experience with Maggie. From the very beginning, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Before our stay, she reached out to learn all about our dog, Daisy, asking thoughtful questions to make sure Daisy would feel comfortable, safe, and at home. Throughout Daisy's stay, Maggie was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive. She kept us updated with messages and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was obvious that Daisy was being treated with kindness, affection, and individualized attention. What truly set Maggie apart was the warmth and genuine love she showed—not just to Daisy, but to us as well. When we picked Daisy up, Maggie gave us the sweetest card expressing how appreciative and honored she was to care for our pup. That thoughtful gesture meant so much and perfectly reflects the kind of person she is. Maggie was also very flexible with drop-off and pickup times, making the entire experience stress-free. Daisy absolutely adored her, and we knew she was in wonderful hands. Without a doubt, Maggie is the best dog sitter we've ever had. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly dedicated to the pets in her care. Daisy has found her perfect sitter!

Tracie was wonderfully attentive and great with our pup! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Great communication, and respectful of our dog’s needs. Our dog can be a bit leash reactive, but Tracie was mindful to introduce her carefully to her own pets and make sure our dog was comfortable. Thank you, Tracie!!

Sarah and her family provided constant updates of my dog throughout the week.

I never worried once while away.

I was a little bit nervous with this being the first time I used Rover for boarding. However, thanks to Chelsea all those nerves have been put to rest. Chelsea listened to everything I said about boarding my dog and wrote it all down. She was constantly in communication with me and provided me with picture updates as well. I highly recommend!
