“I am more than pleased with the ❤️ and care DAMACIA provided for my 3 months puppy. I would recommend her and we will be going back. Was a little nervous at first, but she reassured me he would be fine even around other Fur Babies.”


“Matt was awesome - from the time we did a meet and greet I was at peace leaving my precious fur baby with him .He gave us regular updates and pictures This was the first time I left her for ten days but I was very pleased with his care .I would absolutely leave khushi with him again”



“We had a wonderful experience with Cyndi! I received pics/updates in morning and evenings and Brutus was just as spoiled at her house as he is ours! We would definitely have him stay with her again! We had zero worries as we knew he was in excellent care!”


“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”


“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”

I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”


“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”


“Call Pamela and their dog Marlowe were great hosts for our spaniel, Jewelie. They have a lovely fence backyard and the dogs played a lot everyday they took very personalized care of her and we would love to bring her back sometime!”



“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”



“I am beyond thankful for the care Hillary provided my dog with this weekend. I was feeling nervious about leaving my baby somewhere new but he had a great time and I received pictures throughout his stay. I will absolutely book Hillary again and I know rocky will enjoy more sunbathing and yard chases next time! Thank you, Hillary.”


“I boarded my toy poodle Phoebe for the first time using Rover.com. She is 18 years old, deaf and nearly blind. During our meet and greet with Andrew, I could see that he genuinely cares about pets based upon the look on his face when he saw her and held her during the meet and greet. He described where he planned to keep her and I relaxed. During her 4 day stay, I received pictures and updates, and Andrew answered my questions promptly. Phoebe and I were fortunate to find Andrew. I will definitely call upon Andrew again, and highly recommend him to others.”



“Amanda was great with our pup Baxter. Contacted her on Wednesday, did a meet-and-greet on Thursday, and she watched him on Saturday. We really appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Baxter is an old dog as well and fit right in with Izzy and Sadie who were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.”


“Kevin was incredible!! He did such a great job of watching my pup and provided regular updates the entire time. You can tell how much he loves dogs. My anxious dog felt right at home!”


“Kat was absolutely amazing with my highly reactive and mildly difficult girl! I gave her a heads up with Bindi’s behaviors and she assured me everything would would be alright. When I dropped Bindi off, Kat even let me in to see how my pup interacts with hers and her pups are absolutely wonderful with others! When I come back to Tuscon I will definitely be reaching out!”

Carolina was so kind and caring with Fefe! Fefe was very relaxed when we picked her up, which says it all. Carolina made her feel very at home and comfy, and gave her extra love when she was feeling a little out of sorts. Carolina followed our care instructions, including medications, very carefully, and communicated how she was doing throughout the entire stay. We definitely recommend Carolina!

Elise took great care of my senior dog Edgar. She had no trouble managing the various pills and supplements he needs for his kidney disease. She was responsive to any questions I had. Her cats were very friendly as well. Edgar was in high spirits when I picked him up. It's clear she cares a whole lot about animals. Highly recommended.

This was our first time using Rover. I was nervous but Emily was amazing! We had a meet and greet beforehand so Olive could meet her dog and cats. Emily kept me updated throughout the week with lots of messages and pictures. I would absolutely book her again in the future!

Jayden was GREAT! He keep me updated on what Dallas was doing and how much fun he was having! I had clear and communication and felt as ease with him caring for my dog. Thank you so much and if I need you in the future to care for him, I will definitely try to rebook!

Lupe took such good care of my little baby Walter Sherman! He is an energetic puppy but she was able to keep him entertained and out of trouble. I loved getting all of the updates and photos, it made me feel so happy to know he was in loving hands. 10/10 we already have our next stay booked!
