“Jodi was great with Champ! She made him feel right at home and treated him like part of the family. Champ had dog friends to play with, went on walks, and got plenty of attention. It was clear he was happy and comfortable the entire time. Champ usually has a hard time staying with others, but Jodi made the experience easy and stress-free for him. I really appreciated the care and patience she showed. I will definitely be using Jodi again for my future travel plans. Highly recommend!”
“Hyesoo and her husband were such kind and caring hosts for our Maltipoo! They were extremely accommodating and took picture updates that really delighted us and let us know he was in good hands. I can see why she has 51 5-star reviews!!!! Thank you Hyesoo!”
“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!!”
“Sul was fantastic. Before I boarded Zoey, he offered to get on a quick phone and video call so I could see the space and feel comfortable. After I dropped Zoey off, he kept me updated every few hours with messages and photos. I’d highly recommend him!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“My dogs loved their time with Casey! She is so kind and took such wonderful care of our dogs. She has wonderful communication skills and sent us a bunch of adorable photos of our dogs when they were with her. Thank you again, Casey! We will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Isabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.”
“Archer was in great hands with Eric! Excellent communication and trustworthy. He had a great time, got lots of exercise, and we would totally book with Eric again. Thank you!”
“Thank you for looking after our dogs! Ling and Ye sent lots of photos of our two midsize labradoodles on walks and getting cuddles during their stay. And they came home calm and relaxed afterwards - a sign that they were happy while during their stay. Our dogs can get nervous around large male dogs, but their dog Brody (large labradoodle) is a gentle giant who immediately got on with our dogs, but also gave them their own space. We appreciate Ling and Ye's kindness towards our dogs!”
“It was totally comforting to have Lucy stay with Whitney and her husband. They were very nurturing, and very flexible with my timing. Lucy had a wonderful time there, and they treated Lucy like she was one of her own.”
“Paula and her family took great care of my baby. She was very responsive and understanding of his quirks. Took him to the park and for a hike which he clearly enjoyed judging from the pictures she sent. Definitely recommend Paula and would have my pup stay there again anytime.”
“We always leave our dog Rio with Dana and Nia. They are wonderful with him, and have figured out how to make him feel right at home. Will continue to use their services!”
“Tiffany was a wonderful companion for our dog while we were away. She sent us lots of sweet pictures, took our pup on outings, and pampered her with love and treats. Tiffany patiently coordinated drop-off and pick-up with other family members, as she was our family member dog sitter's dog sitter! Our dog has special behavior needs, and Tiffany took the time to make sure she knew what situations would and would not work for our dog, so they had no issues. It is so nice to have someone we trust to take her issues seriously. We really appreciated her help and would definitely leave our dog with her any time. Thank you Tiffany!”
“Delayni is such an amazing sitter. As a first timer boarding my dog, I was beyond uneasy. But Delayni provide such professionalism, patience, kindness and care to not only my dog Bella, but me as her pet mom. I truly recommend Delayni to anyone who is looking for a sitter who not only loves what she does, but treats your dog as part of the family.”
“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.”

Joanna provided pics and videos of Jasmine’s stay. It was such a delight to see our pup was on vacation while we were on vacation. We missed her terribly and it was so sweet to see that Jasmine had a good time on vaca too! I’d do it again. It was a great stay. Jasmine’s head tilts when we mention Joanna is all the proof. This is good. Many thanks.
Seung was a fantastic sitter for our older dog Odin. She took the time in the meet and greet to walk with him and learn all about his needs, personality and quirks. Throughout the stay Seung was very responsive and helpful taking great care of Odin. She provided excellent photos and videos of their adventures during his stay.
Michelle was fantastic! We were away for two weeks and felt completely at ease the whole time. She sent regular photo updates, responded quickly whenever we reached out, and when our plans changed and we were able to pick up Pogie a day early, she was totally flexible and accommodating. She even got him toys to play with, and we're pretty sure she gave him a bath too — he came home smelling beautiful (no small feat for a wire-haired dog who always looks adorably scruffy regardless!). Most importantly, Pogie came home happy and relaxed — always the best sign. We'd book with Michelle again without hesitation and highly recommend her!
I couldn't be happier with my experience with Jodi! She took such wonderful care of my dog over the weekend and she went above and beyond to take him hiking (sweetest touch). He came home happy, tired and clearly well loved. I'll absolutely be booking with her again!
Casey was so wonderful again caring for our dog, Luna. She is kind, communicative, flexible, and just all around a lovely person who our dog adores. We feel so grateful to have found someone who loves our dog like we do, and who doesn’t need any explanation about anything! We will continue to use Casey whenever we need care for Luna!
Vivien was amazing with our dog, Nelly! She kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Nelly loved the long walks around the pond and had a great time with Vivien’s dog, Digby. We came home to a happy, sleepy pup — couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Vivien and will definitely rebook next time we’re away! ❤️🐾
Kayla was wonderful with my fur baby during our recent boarding booking. She was responsive, attentive to detail, and most importantly genuinely cared about my dog. He was injured just before his stay with Kayla and needed special attention, which she provided expertly. She sent frequent updates by text with great pictures, which was extremely reassuring. Great rover sitter!
Jessie was a fantastic host for my dog! Leaving your pet in someone else's care is never easy, but it was with Jessie. She clearly loves dogs and knows dogs. Jessie allowed my curious but cautious canine the time and space she needed to feel comfortable, encouraging her and welcoming her. Both my dog and I trust Jessie and we will be booking again soon!
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.
Mengyao could not be a better sitter for our dog canyon!! Kept us updated so we never felt out of the loop. Sent us photos and videos of our dog being spoiled and having so much fun. Our dog is selective with who he plays with and taffy was his best friend by the end of the stay!
Kevin was great with our 7-month-old puppy! This was our first big trip away from him, and Kevin took great care of him and kept us updated throughout the weekend. He was very flexible with drop off and pick-up times, which was appreciated as we navigated winter weather. The fenced-in back yard was a special treat for our dog to be able to have some space to run around, too! Would recommend Kevin to anyone and would rebook!
This was our first time using Garrett to watch our pup and we absolutely would do it again! He was attentive, communicative, and flexible. He also handled our anxious dog excellently, being gentle with her but also making sure she got her exercise and play in. Above all, he treated her like a member of the family.
