1. Ashley M.
“Ashley was great and took great care of our dog. She was communicative and sent a bunch of photos to make sure we were updated on how he was doing. Took him to the dog park, on walks, etc. Made us feel completely at ease while we were on a trip.”
2. Gillian K.
“My shy dog started pulling on her leash as we approached Gillian's house because she was so excited. My dog was very happy with her visit and will be back!”
3. Andrew T.
“Andrew and his SO treated Milo with so much love! Multiple walks a day and send updates daily! We will definitely be using them in the future.”
4. Tania B.
“1st time leaving my dog with anybody who wasn’t family and I was so nervous. Tania made sure I had nothing to worry about and my dog Oreo had a great time! Oreo’s a special, spicy chihuahua who’s very picky with people yet Tania won her over in such a small amount of time! Will use her services again when I need to and will recommend her every time!”
5. Katie M.
“Katie was great! Chloe seemed like she had a fun time with her. Katie sent lots of pictures! We also were really grateful for how accommodating Katie was - our flight was delayed and she was so nice about us having to switch around pickup plans.”
6. Ann-Marie H.
“Ann-Marie was great with our dog! He has warmed up to her so well and she is so caring with him. We appreciate the occasional update from Ann-Marie, and whenever we ask questions, she replies. She is so amenable to the pick-up and drop-off schedule, especially if our flights get delayed. She has been a great caretaker for him for both weekend getaways and week-long trips, highly recommend to other owners!”
7. Melanie S.
“Melanie is awesome! Joey is always happy to see her. She sends photos every day and he is usually snuggled up with his head in her lap. He is a white dog so has a tendency to stain around his eyes, but Melanie stayed on it with the wipes I use and he came home with no stains at all. He is his usual energetic self and looks great. I am so happy leaving him in such good hands!”
8. Nate N.
“Nate was so amazing with my pup! He gave me daily updates and made sure my dog was right at home. When my dog unexpectedly got sick he notified me and knew how to handle it and gave him some rice. 10/10 recommend will definitely rebook with him!”
9. Dion F.
“It’s always a little nerve wracking when you’re away from your pup for an extended period, but Dion was great with Brix! He was patient, kind, communicative and gave him plenty of long walks which we appreciate. Will be utilizing Dion in the future when needed :)”
10. Regan D.
“Regan and Adam were so good with Gigi! Gigi is sometimes reactive towards other dogs and can’t be in close proximity when on leash. She takes a couple medications for anxiety to help with that reactivity. We have been lucky enough to have family close by to be able to watch her for the past 4 years when we go out of town, but this time none of our family was available so that’s when we found Regan! We did a quick meet and greet to go over Gigis anxiety and meds. They did such a good job at giving updates and sending lots of pictures for the week we were gone. We have never seen Gigi sad to leave family house when being dog sat, but she was so sad to leave Regan and Adam’s place! Will definitely be reusing them as sitters in the future! Can’t recommend them enough!!”
11. Briana V.
“Another visit with a Great sitter! I’m so impressed with how much love and patience Briana has with my little guy Max. She was nonstop with updates and pictures which really eased my nerves. I will definitely book with Briana again and again.”
12. E K.
“Thankful. Very positive and seamless experience. My sitter cancelled last minute and I reached out to E K. And within minutes we set up an appointment to meet my pup. After, she gave me a set of instructions for the morning and everything went smoothly. As a firefighter, family is everything to me and Pongo is my comfort dog. To know he was taken care of through out the day made my stressful shift easier to navigate. I strongly recommend E K. To anyone. Large home. Back yard. And positive vibes. Thank you again.”
13. Samantha L.
“Sam is AMAZING!!!! She took good care of my special girl while I was on vacation. She was great to work with and very caring. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using her again.”
14. Rachel W.
“This was our first time leaving our dog Penny with a sitter, so we were initially nervous about the entire process. Rachel was very communicative and flexible throughout, and totally alleviated our fears. She provided us with daily updates and photos, and Penny clearly loved her time there. Highly recommend and would definitely leave Penny with Rachel again when we need a sitter.”
15. Fatimah A.
“I only had one prior experience with boarding my 10 months Lunah and I'm glad I found Fatimah and Shae, because they exceed my expectations. I didn't have a bad experience before, but it was far from the same care Fatimah provides. I loved getting updates and pictures throughout the day, as that gave me the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. Thanks Fatimah for taking such good care of Lunah and Shae for playing with her ;-) I would definitely recommend and use her services again!”
16. Jennifer N.
“I boarded him for a while during the holidays and she always sent me updates about him. They were in depth updates which made me feel better for example she told me he was constipated once. She also always sent a videos of him which was really nice. She also gave him a bath and washed his toys which I truly appreciated. She has been the best rover experience I have had so far!”
17. Yaneris A.
“Yanerys was an excellent sitter for Mora. Her and her dog Arya are really welcoming and give Mora a place like home. Yanerys gave walks, food and played with Mora all time. You can see in Yanerys a real dog lover person! We definitely continue booking with Yanerys for future day sittings or boarding. :)”
18. Jeff U.
“I left my 75 lazy boi with Jeff for almost a week and they had an amazing time! I received daily updates with photos and it was obvious that my dog was being well cared for and paid much attention. I will absolutely contact Jeff again next time I leave town!”
19. Sasha Z.
“Sasha did such a great job watching Leilani over the weekend for me! She sends long and detailed updates with pictures which was so nice and I didn’t have to worry about my baby once! Thank you so much again Sasha”
20. Ruben M.
“Ruben is an absolute HERO. I was struggling to find someone to keep my fur babies (dog & cat) long enough because work kept extending my trip away from home and that’s where a Ruben came in. He worked within my budget, picked up & dropped off my animals while I was already out of town and even left us a little goodie bag. Both Cocoa and Willie came back happy and healthy! Would recommend Ruben 20/10!”
