“Patricia was lovely! I’m always nervous leaving our two senior dogs with a new sitter because they have a lot of quirks and special medical needs. Patricia was kind and patient with them and followed their care instructions diligently. She also picked them up and dropped them off, which is a HUGE help to us since we have two toddlers. I’d be very comfortable with them staying with Patricia again.”


“Emilie is such a FANTABULOUS find on Rover!! Top notch sitter, truly. Pretty sure my dog enjoyed her stay with Emilie more than I enjoyed my vacation out of state, lol! And her professionalism/trustworthiness made me feel so comfortable despite my initial anxiety for 5 nights away from my dog. Some highlights: Frequent potty breaks and walks, awesome location to explore for dogs by lakefront, an amazing dog to befriend in Bear (so easy-going, gentle, friendly, a great model for a pup to look up to!), can do pickup and dropoff, generally smart with dogs, heard my details requested and followed through on them (feeding, nightime routine, even training exercises my dog does daily, etc.), sincerely cared about my dog's wellbeing (updates were so sweet!), on-time, clear communicator, just all-around A++!”


“Doug and Debbie were incredible hosts for our dog, Stella, while our family was away for a week. Stella can be slow to warm up to new people, but thanks to their gentle care, she quickly felt at ease. We had a few unexpected flight cancellations, which required Stella to stay an extra day, and Doug and Debbie happily accommodated her without any issues. We're so grateful that Stella had a safe, loving place to stay, and she especially loved their beautiful backyard patio. Will definitely be re-booking for any other family vacation!”


“Ariel was great! Our Bud was happy and well taken care of while we were away. Ariel was great about sending updates everyday. This was a last minute booking and she accommodated us without hesitation. We'll definitely be booking with her in future.”


“Sophie has rescued our vacation. She was sweet, accommodating, took great care of our dog and updated us very well with pictures and videos. Although this was our first booking with Sophie, we'll be sure to come back, because she has been able to give us great peace of mind, while we were away.”


“Kazuhiro and Akemi are lovely, warm, and caring dog lovers. They clearly love dogs and treat them like a family member while they are caring for them. They send lots of pictures, videos, and status updates. I highly recommend them.”


“This was our second time leaving Gamja in Christian’s care and Christian is a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. Traveling comes with so much to manage—knowing Christian is looking after Gamja lets me relax and enjoy our trip. I hope he’s available the next time we travel!”



“Corina was so great with our pup! This was our first time leaving him for over a night. She sent video and photo updates! Our pup seemed very comfortable with her, and we will definitely be requesting her services again in the future. I highly recommend Corina!”


“Penny looks like she had a nice time staying with Adam and we would use his services again (if he's available). He provided updates when requested and was transparent about an altercation Penny had with another dog (who surprised her). I recommend Adam as a sitter!”


“Ella took on our 3 month old puppy who at the time was a handful. She kept us updated always and was very confident with him. She dealt with all the puppy challenges with no problem. Our pup Ozzie loved his stay with her. She frequently took him for walks and ensured he was happy and loved. Ella was excellent, and would trust her again!”


“Nik was wonderful watching our buddy over a long weekend. He made drop off and pick up a breeze. Lots of photos and updates to us throughout our time away. Plenty of walks, affection, and playtime for our furry son. We will definitely be return customers!”


“Rima was fantastic to work with and did a great job of watching our dog when we were out of town. She sent great pictures and updates and our pup had a great time staying with her. We look forward to reaching out to Rima again!”


“Cheri was so wonderful! My dog very obviously enjoys spending time with her and had a great time in her fenced yard with other dogs. Will absolutely rebook. Cheri asked many specific questions and is obviously gifted with working with many different types of dogs.”


“Tammy was the best taking care of Vinnie!! She was available last minute when I couldn’t get anyone else to sit him and was very responsive, which I really appreciate. Vinnie got to play with the other dogs at the house and run off some energy. Will definitely be using Tammy again!!”


“I had a last minute emergency and had to leave town and my pup behind. Thankfully, Rachel and Vincent were accommodating and flexible! I got plenty of communication with questions and updates throughout the day, putting me at ease. Thank you so much!”



“Frank and Elaine were wonderful and so incredibly accommodating! They took excellent care of our dogs and we will absolutely use them again. It's hard to know if the dogs enjoy themselves or not at a sitter. After we got back from our trip, I walked the dogs back over to Frank's; they saw Frank in the yard and ran towards him in joy, kissing him. That's how I know they had a great time while we were gone. Thank you Frank and Elaine! Muchas gracias!”


“Megan provided excellent care for our 3 pups. She provided frequent updates and photos and was very quick to respond to messages. We are already planning to book with her again this summer.”


“Thanks to Marcos for being a fantastic dog sitter for our active dog Tony! Marcos goes the extra mile with care and kindness toward pets. Will book again!”


“Eloisa is an absolute sweetheart and takes such great care of my baby! She has watched my dog twice now and both times my baby came was happy throughout her stay and returned happy and healthy (and worn out from the fun she was having!) She always keeps me updated throughout the stay and goes the extra mile to make her comfortable. 10/10 I highly recommend!”
