“Excellen all around! Great communication before and during our trip, with lots of consideration for the dogs’ routines and comfort. Loved all the photos that showed us the dogs were having a great time at “camp” — knowing they were in good hands let us enjoy our trip all the more. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”
“We are newer to the area and this was our first time needing a dog sitter. Lauren was very responsive and wonderful. She also sends lots of great photos and takes lots of walks. Hopefully she will be available again if and when we need a dog sitter.”
“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”

She treated my dog as if it were her own and I would highly recommend to anyone searching for a reliable and caring sitter.”

Julie was great with our dog Jackson! He seemed right at home and we got regular photo updates of him being pampered. She had no problem giving him a daily medication and even gave him a bath. Super organized and responsive. We were able to relax and have a nice vacation knowing Jackson was in very good hands!
Carolina was so attentive and caring with Tuna and really treated her like her own ❣️ I had to go on a long trip but Carolina's consistent updates and photos left me feeling really reassured that tuna was being cared for and was having a great time as well. Care instructions were diligently followed and her experience in caring for dogs really shines ⭐✨ would definitely recommend her boarding services and will be booking with Carolina again for future needs for sure!
Michelle did an amazing job taking care of our baby girl! She sent us daily photo updates and kept us posted on how Anya was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her golden retriever Milo is super friendly and got along great with Anya—they had a lot of fun together. We truly appreciate all the love and care Michelle gave her. Looking forward to booking with her again next time!
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.
