I know Cali had a great time with Isabelle. She took great care of Cali. I loved all the cute pictures she sent during the stay, and the belly rubs she gave. Isabelle loves what she does and it shows in how she cared for my fur baby Cali. I will definitely rebook with her! ??

Kim is simply the very best, loving, knowledgeable, and attentive. She gave Kazu a loving home and so much love. We adore all the photos and videos she sent, as well as daily updates. Kim knows how to take care of big dogs, and is a true dog lover. As a plus, she works from home! There are parks near her house, and she takes Kazu on daily long walks. Thank you, dear Kim, for everything!

Kerry took such great care of Junie while we were away for the holidays- even getting her a stocking for christmas! She was very communicative and flexible, taking Junie a night earlier than planned to accommodate our schedule. Kerry sent daily updates and photos and gave Junie lots of love. You should feel confident Kerry will take the best care of your pet. Thanks Kerry!

Fnu was extremely accommodating and made leaving my girl with her very comforting. I had never used rover before and I was very nervous to leave my dog with someone I didn’t know, so Fnu sending me daily pictures and updates quickly eased my worries.

Sue & Thomas did an EXCELLENT job taking care of my dog Finley. He had a great time hiking and watching sports with them! They also graciously accomodation a last minute need to administer medication for a rash that appeared a few days before my trip. I'll definitely be entrusting Finley to them next time I need to leave town.

Geoffrey was our first Rover experience and he was excellent! Our pup, Louella had the best time playing fetch and cuddling up with Geoffreys dog Lizzy. We would definitely send Louella back to this doggy air BNB If we travel again :)

I feel so grateful for the care and attention Brian and his wife gave my dog Harley! Harley stayed for 3 nights and had just gotten dental work, so he had some special instructions I had to give. I could tell Brian was experienced and easy-going about any special care needed, and I just felt relieved to know Harley was in good hands and was not going to be seen as a burden. I really appreciated their welcoming and clean house and all the great spaces for Harley to explore. Their dog was such a friendly, well-behaved pup as well, and I think that gave Harley a welcomed distraction for his stay. Brian eased my worries about Harley’s separation anxiety and kept him engaged and loved for his stay. It was a great success for me and Harley on his first time staying with someone he didn’t know. So happy with the experience (and the awesome pictures I received!) thank you both!

Maggie took excellent care of our senior dog while we were away on the longest trip our family has taken in quite some time. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Maggie after our familiarization visit. We saw clearly that she has a heart for animals, and especially older dogs. She even bought a new toy just for our dog. Maggie welcomed our bringing a portable crate and our dog's bed for the duration of the stay, which we felt helped our dog feel at home. Drop off and pick up were very smooth and timely.

Rebecca took our puppy Apollo for a few days. You can tell she really cares for and loves her animals and extended that love towards our puppy which is really amazing. She sent videos and pictures to us of Apollo and kept us in the loop of how he is doing. She even gave us a few treats/toys to take with us home as well! Apollo didn’t want to leave which is the only negative lol 😂 Will definitely bring him back!

Rafa is the best doggie sitter ever. He treated my Pittie as if Nico was his own dog. He took him on lots of walks/runs, gave him yummy and healthy treats. Rafa also sent many videos and pics which I love. Yay Rafael!

Jennifer is AWESOME! I recently moved and have been driving 40 min each way to keep Ginger with her previous boarder because she loves Ginger and Hinger loves her. I can go away and know my baby is being taken care of. I had a last min trip and Jennifer was available and responsive. From the booking to meeting her to the communication and picking her up Jennifer was fantastic. Ginger came home happy, not skittish, hyped up or giving AS MUCH of a guilt trip which means she felt loved and cared for. I am DEFINITELY using Jennifer any time she’s available!
