“Rachel was great- she was responsive, sent pictures and updates, and our pup felt right at home with her. I felt more at ease having him in a good home where he could be comfortable and play with other dogs while we were away. We will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need boarding!”
4. Jessica M.
“Jessica is caring, kind, friendly, and just loves dogs. She is reliable and trustworthy. It's our pup Sandia's second time with Jessica, and when she saw her, they connected right off the bat, which says a lot about a sitter. Thank YOU!”
5. Amanda M.
“Amanda was super great and caring with my pup! She has a couple very friendly other dogs that love to play and a big back yard with plenty of space to run around. I will be using her again and highly recommend to others!”
6. Marianna Z.
“I recently had the opportunity to use Marianna for my pet, and I am pleased to share my experience with fellow pet owners seeking a reliable and caring service for their dogs. From the initial contact to the final pickup, my experience with Marianna was nothing short of exceptional. Her genuine affection for my girls was evident in their interactions. Mari was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, communicated regularly with updates and photos, which eased my mind while I was away. Our girls returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for, which speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianna to anyone in need of dog-sitting services. Her commitment to providing the highest level of care, coupled with her compassion, makes Marianna a top choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.”

“Cindy was absolutely amazing with our 13 year old dog with heart conditions who requires daily’s meds. She was awesome giving us lots of updates. We felt our dog was in wonderful hands and we would definitely use her again.”
8. Dawn M.
“Dawn provided wonderful care for my Pomeranian. Really appreciated that Dawn was willing to flex to my busy schedule. She kept me informed throughout the stay. I got to enjoy my time away without worries.”
9. Jacob J.
“Jacob and his wife took great care of our extra large dog, Chopper. They sent pictures daily, returned him with everything we provided, and made us feel at ease while we were away. Would recommend their services!”
10. Debra A.
“Debra was amazing with my 2 rambunctious fur babies! I've never used a sitter that I didn't know before and was a little nervous but she made me feel much more comfortable at the meet and greet. She took excellent care of them and sent lots of updates throughout the week. My silly 6 month old pup managed to scratch her face on her crate and Debra noticed immediately when it wasn't healing right and spent half a night at the emergency veterinary practice I work at in order for her to get some antibiotics and a cone. Even the veterinarian I work with made a comment to me as to how great of care she took of my pup!”
11. Hallie S.
“This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!”
12. Michael L.
“This was Auggie’s second time staying with Michael!! He had so much fun he didn’t want to leave when I picked him up!! Definitely will be having Auggie stay there again :)”
13. Tess W.
“Tess is an AMAZING caretaker who not only welcomed our senior dog Lynore into her home as one of her own, but also helped alleviate this (admittedly) nervous helicopter parent of any remaining concerns by sending regular video and picture updates to my wife and I while we were across the country and away from our little girl for the first time! Tess was not phased in the slightest by Lynore's somewhat complicated prescription schedule, administering everything asked of her with the competence and ease you look for in a fluffy caretaker! We could not have asked for a more caring, passionate, and competent caretaker for our Lynore while we were away. Tess is exactly the kind of person you want to look after your fur-baby with care and compassion!”
14. Erika J.
“My senior dog had some separation anxiety issues and Erika was very gracious about it! Will definitely book again the next time I need someone to watch him.”
15. Jordan R.
“If there's anyone in the world I'd leave my pet with, it'd be Jordan. She loves and cares for animals in the best, most loving way. She's responsible and professional; I trust her with my home and animals without any reservations. She has the kindest heart and it shows in the way she treats humans and animals alike. Definitely pick Jordan to care for your pet, there's no better option out there!”
16. Ellen F.
“Ellen was amazing with my fur babies! She asked thorough and thoughtful questions during our meet greet to make sure it was good fit for herself and the dogs. She sent pictures daily to ensure I knew the dogs were happy and safe.”
17. Joe P.
“Joe is so good with dogs! He takes them for walks and has a nice yard for them to play in! Everyday we got pics and videos of our girls to see just how much fun they where having!”
18. Megan M.
“Megan is the best! Our girls were happy to spend another long weekend in Megan’s care. She provides us peace of mind while we’re away, with frequent updates and photos. She has been an absolute godsend for us!”
19. Madelyn B.
“Such great sitters!! My shaggy absolutely loved being there and was so worn out after! they sent so many pictures and videos so i was never worried about him! we will definitely be using them again!!”
20. Erica A.
“I foster for local rescue groups and often have my dogs for many months. Needless to say, these guys are truly part of the family and I'm crazy careful about who I approve for adopting. Two of my longest fosters have gone to Erica! The first was overlooked for almost a year because he is older and doesn't look like anything special--Erica not only recognized his beauty immediately, but she has been able to help him regain his health and vitality. The second was a street dog who we didn't know was pregnant. Erica and her husband waited 3 months, coming to visit her and her puppies, until Lili was ready to go home. Thee are two of the happiest, well cared for, well loved dogs you'll ever meet. Anyone would be lucky to have their animals in Erica's care--I am forever grateful to her!”
