Spencer was so good to my and Lester got to enjoy their daughter. I rested easy while away because after meeting Spencer I knew he was in goods. Leaving my pup and going anywhere without him is new to me and while it was challenging fir me, it was all possible after meeting Spencer and his pups. I would book with Spencer anytime if he will have us again. Thank you so much!

Lucas was great with Daisy! He and his partner took great care of her while I was away for the day. They were super accommodating and friendly, I would definitely bring her back if I ever needed a sitter again!

Had a perfect experience with Kelly and William. I needed a dog sitter in a pinch and was happy and fortunate to have found them. They were very kind, great at communication and treated my boy Marshall like he was lounging at home. I've never used a dog sitter from Rover before and was nervous, but upon meeting Kelly and William I felt very comfortable and confident Marshall was in the best of hands. Frequent pictures and message updates were much appreciated. He made himself right at home, had a companion to hang out with and was spoiled and taken on a nice long walks. Hope to be fortunate enough to spoil Marshall with a sleepover in the near future with Kelly and William!

David and Austin are absolutely wonderful. Fenrir stayed with them for Christmas and had an amazing time. David is so caring and thoughtful we didn't worry about Fen at all because we constantly got pictures and videos showing how much fun he was having. David even took Fen to get a picture with Santa!! We've already booked our next stay ❤️

Oh my goodness! I left my pup with Nik for 10 days and they were so incredible! They kept me updated and sent videos, and it was clear that Candy was not only being taken care of, but genuinely cared for. With Nik looking after Candy I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries about our sweet dog back home. Plus our pup had the benefit of spending time with Nik’s dog as well. They went for walks, on social adventures, and Nik was so good about Candy and her various anxieties. Nik was able to get her to eat (which sometimes she doesn’t even want to do for me!) and eased her into a routine. When I picked her up she was excited to see me, but definitely had bonded with Nik. I’m so very glad to have found the perfect match for my pup, and I’m so happy to be able to recommend Nik whole-heartedly! I feel as if Candy has new friends, and a person who I can trust to look after her when we go away again, and that is super special!

Muhammad is amazing with his service. He shows very welcoming atmosphere since we were first met. He looks after my dog very careful about eating, pee break and sleeping. I will definitely recommend him for everyone and will book with him again when I have a next trip.

Brian took excellent care of my dog-reactive staffy at his house. With his level of experience, and a fenced backyard, I didn't have to worry all week. Brian was excellent with communication and sent me a few cute pictures and videos each day. I'd highly recommend him for your pup.

I was supposed to be away for only 10 days but had an accident and ended up staying for 2 months. During those 2 months I didn't worry once about my 2 cats as I knew they were being well taken care of. Ho yee was absolutely amazing can't recommend enough! She even took the time to take one of NY cats to the emergency vet!

Megan M has a deep love and appreciation for any and all dogs that come into her life. She brings a genuine mix of care for the animals and understanding of them that give animals a sense of security unlike I've seen in any other person. As well as demonstrating a long standing love for her own dog, she also often cares for my own two dogs. One of my dogs, Rosemary, is extremely wary of newcomers because she is a rescue and has some mild behavioral quirks. She generally takes many weeks, if not months, to become accustomed to new people, and sometimes even longer for her to show any affection to them. On the second meeting that Meg had with Rosemary, Rosemary let Meg pet her and even gave her a little smooch. I was floored that my rescue was able to feel so comfortable around her so soon, but I learned that this is not an isolated incident, and dogs do generally feel quite reassured by her presence. If I was thinking of someone to look after my dogs (who honestly both need a decent amount of care and have some specific routines that need to be followed) I would think of no one else but Meg. Her understanding of dogs, trustworthiness and maturity, as well as her brilliant personality is clearly understood by humans and animals alike. I think that dogs can sense that she absolutely loves them and returns the feelings onto her. She can look after my pets any day no questions asked.
