“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles for a weeklong boarding. Communication was great and we kept receiving updates. Truffles had a great time staying with the family and made some new friends.”
“Jamie , Kenzie and Nikki were AMAZING taking care of Escarcha. We know that she was completely safe and well fed and they sent us videos and photos of everyone playing with her. Escarcha even warmed up to their dog Sammy although she doesn’t love hanging with other dogs. We highly recommend them!!”
“This was our first stay with Whitney and Dave and their fur babies. While it began a bit rocky with my dog fitting in to their family and routine all worked out after a day or two. My dog was safe and well cared for during his stay.”
“Alyson is truly amazing! She gave us updates regularly and I felt so happy knowing our dog was in a loving place! Our dog was the happiest she’s ever been after picking her up from a sitter, so I know she was really well cared for! Will definitely plan to use Alyson again for sitting!”
“Yasmine was great to work with. She was in communication. Pick up and drop off were easy and straight forward. Cocoa seemed very happy and well taken care of.”
“Dana was great and responsible! Easy to communicate and frequently updated with photos and videos. He was also very flexible in accommodating my schedule change due to the flight delay... Many thanks!”
“Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!”
“I was a bit nervous, as I had never boarded my pup overnight in an unfamiliar place before. Kayla alleviated every ounce of stress I could have had! She was absolutely great and very professional. She and her two adorable pups welcomes my boy Brody into her home and took such good care of him while I was away, sending updates and pictures regularly. Brody usually gets separation anxiety but became comfortable with Kayla surprisingly quickly, had so much fun playing with her pup Bandit, and came home plum tuckered out! I’m so happy and relieved to have found Kayla and will certainly be returning to her next time I need a sitter!”
“Benji is like my child, so leaving him with someone is never an easy decision. I work from home and he is always with me, so what he needs most is someone’s presence and attention rather than constant activity. When I saw Mr. Su’s profile, I immediately felt he would be a great match for Benji’s nature, and I was right. He had occurred as a very trustworthy person to me immediately. I appreciated his communication from the start and the thoughtful questions about Benji’s routine. I also loved the photo updates and seeing that Benji was getting out and about. Mr. Su even added a bit more structure to Benji’s meals, which I really appreciated. He also accepted the booking on short notice when my other plans fell through, which meant a lot. Benji looked like himself in every update- relaxed and happy and it was clear he was in excellent hands. I’m extremely grateful to have found Mr. Su, and Benji will definitely be staying with him again. It’s a perfect setup for a dog who is used to having a work-from-home parent and thrives on attention, consistency, and a good routine.”
“Wanda seemed really kind and caring from the second Koda met her! She took care of him for a week while we were on vacation and it seems like he had a great time playing with Wanda’s pup, Casey. It would be nice if Wanda provided more daily updates, I had to ask a few times to see how he was doing. Overall, Wanda seems like a very kind and reliable sitter.”
“Shuping is the best! She looked after my bird with so much attention, kindness, and love, and sent pictures that brightened my day. The stress I had about leaving her behind completely went away once I knew she would be happy and looked after during that time! Thank you so much, Shuping!”
“Eric was quick to respond and agreed to watch Wally at the last minute, which was super helpful. He was attentive to Wally's needs and sent photos throughout the day, keeping us updated on his stay. Eric has a super cute dog who seemed easygoing even when Wally got a bit exciteable at pick-up/drop-off. We would absolutely have Eric watch Wally again. Thank you!”
“Geoff had an amazing stay with Paula! She sent photos almost every day of him playing at the dog park, hanging out on the couch, and it was really great to see how he was doing. He came back a happy pup!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Cheryl. I would trust her with any pet of mine. She is very communicative and was wonderful with Robi. I would definitely book her again and recommend her to others.”
“Casey was wonderful with Maddie. She sent us daily updates and pictures and Maddie always looked SO happy. Our minds were at ease with Casey. Drop off and pick up was easy and flexible and communication was quick. I would trust our girl with Casey again for our next trip!”
“All went well with Buttercup’s stay with Michelle while we were away for 5 days, and Buttercup came home contented and well cared for. Michelle even made the extra effort to drive up some dog toys to is that gor left behind at her place the next day. Buttercup was beyond thrilled to see her show up at her house which tells me that she was well cared for. We would definitely use Michelle again!”

We couldn’t be more pleased with the care Michelle and her son extended to Clare. Michelle exuded confidence right off the bat as a pet lover. And when our flight was delayed, she was non-pulsed when we needed her to keep Clare for an extra, unplanned overnight. We look forward to calling on Michelle again!
As an owner to a newly adopted dog, I was very anxious about having to leave my dog behind for two days so soon after bringing her home. Jodi was quick with responses, sent lots of pictures and videos, and asked questions when necessary. She was wonderful and I will be booking her again. Thank you, Jodi!
Garrett was great! He looked after our 55lb dog for a long weekend. When we picked her up she was happy, healthy, and tuckered out - she got lots of activity throughout the weekend with long walks and neighborhood adventures. He kept us apprised while we were away with updates and photos. Would definitely book with Garrett again and highly recommend him.
Shuping is one of the best “nanas” Cookie has ever had, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her through Rover. From the moment Cookie stayed with her, it was clear how much warmth, kindness, and genuine love she gives to the pets in her care. She treated Cookie as if she were her own, and that gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite things was receiving her sweet updates. She would send us adorable photos and videos and share little stories about Cookie’s day. The way she affectionately referred to Cookie as a “little rascal” always made us smile and showed just how much she cared for her. As pet parents, being away from your beloved pet can be difficult. Finding someone who loves, cares for, and cherishes your pet almost as much as you do is truly a blessing. That’s exactly what we found in Shuping. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive caregiver for their pet. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. We would happily trust Cookie with her again anytime.
Sarah and family (humans and dogs) made my pup feel like family! He got to play and cuddle all day long and we got cute pictures throughout the weekend. They were patient with his puppy behavior and their love for dogs is so special! We will happily leave our pup in their care again!
We’ve used Michaela a bunch and she’s always flexible, communicative, and super caring! My dog has high anxiety and can be nervous and unpredictable around strangers and other dogs but Michaela handles him like a professional and makes him feel comfortable and at home.
