Ashley watched my baby while I was at work all day. He’s older now, has separation anxiety, can’t be left alone and has a grade 5 murmur so low stress is so important. He seemed to be having the best time with her!! I literally never leave him with anyone outside family anymore so this was a big step for us and I couldn’t have asked for any better.

Such a great experience with Andrew and his lovely wife. My Poppy was well taken care of, and I received lots of picture updates. Andrew is very communicative and easy to work with. So great that I’m bringing her back tomorrow! Thank you!!!

Our third time using Gillian’s pet sitting services and it was fantastic as usual! My dog is always so happy to come here, and Gillian does such a great job keeping us posted with silly photos. This time around my dog decided to hurt her paw days before my trip, but Gillian put my mind at ease with following her new medication routine and giving me updates on how her paw was doing.

Absolutely amazing host! We found Xue the last minute to take care of our labradoodle. Xue truly loves animals and our dog had a great time with her. Xue sent daily updates to us and we can see that our dog really enjoyed her time with Xue as Xue played with her and brought her to the dog park, which our previous hosts on Rover did not do. After we came back, our dog is happy as always. We are glad that Xue brought us back to Rover. Highly recommended!

Ann-Marie took great care of my fur baby while I was out of town. She sent pictures throughout the stay, maintained communication, and was flexible when we pushed our return to a later time. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to hiring her again in the future.

I felt super comfortable leaving Kira with Katie and Java for a weekend trip. She was really responsive and sent pictures of the doggos having a great time together. Kira came back to me relaxed and tired from a great weekend. I'll definitely book her again for future trips.

Briana is attentive, transparent, and honest. My dog randomly started bleeding at her house due to a sudden prostate issue and Briana communicated with me immediately. She even fed him a special diet while I tried to figure out what was going on with him. We eventually had to take him to the emergency ER, but She was awesome during the trouble shooting. If you like working with people who have strong character and a moral compass, Briana is your girl.

Fatimah was wonderful with my goldendoodle, Dood. She was extremely accommodating with drop off and pick up, and great with communication. I received multiple videos and pictures daily, and Dood had a blast! She treated him like her own and I am forever grateful! :)

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 :)

I recently entrusted my beloved furry companion, Binny, into the capable hands of Joanna for a three-day getaway, and I can confidently say it was an experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I dropped Binny off to the heartfelt reunion upon pickup, every aspect of the service provided by Joanna reflected a profound dedication to the well-being and happiness of Binny. Throughout Binny's stay, I received regular updates and photos, allowing me to stay connected and witness firsthand the joy and comfort Binny was experiencing. Whether it was leisurely strolls in the park, engaging playtime activities, or cozy snuggles, it was evident that Binny was not just receiving care but genuine affection and companionship. Beyond the exceptional standard of care, what truly sets Joanna apart is her genuine passion for animals. It's clear that she view pet sitting not merely as a job but as a calling—an opportunity to enrich the lives of furry companions and their owners alike. This passion shines through in every interaction and gesture, creating an atmosphere of trust and mutual appreciation — to anyone seeking a dog sitter who goes above and beyond in ensuring the happiness and welfare of their furry family members. With Joanna, you can rest assured that your beloved pet will receive the love, care, and attention they deserve, allowing you to enjoy peace of mind during your time away.

Ruben was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure Kodak enjoyed his time there and was taken care of. Great communication, he responds quickly & I received pictures & updates throughout the day & evening. Kodak got a long well with his dogs and enjoyed playing with them! When I picked him up Ruben gave me a thank-you bag with a handwritten note (it was so sweet) & a squeaker toy for Kodak. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!
