Tatiana was amazing. This was the first time ever my pup stayed away from home and I must say I was worry free during my whole trip. Tatiana sent daily updates on how he was making out along with photos of him. Def recommend and will book again.

Jacob went above and beyond while watching my bernedoodle, Finn. Finn just had intestinal surgery and required special care and medications. I could tell that Finn really bonded with Jacob. Communication was great while I was abroad. Finn was happy and in great shape when I picked him up. Thanks!

After looking at boarding places for our new puppy I did not feel comfortable! I found Tina on Rover and I am so happy I did! After our initial visit with Tina, I knew Millie would be safe and enjoy her stay. Tina has a dog that Millie was able to play with and tired her out! (Which was amazing after a long drive) Tina kept me updated with pictures and how she was doing throughout the day! Since Millie is a puppy, that was a huge plus! We can't wait to use Tina again!

I am unable to express the gratitude for the care and love Teriana gave me little Scarlett. This was the first time I have had to leave Scarlett and it was stressful. Teriana sent me everyday updates, complete with pictures of my darling. I highly recommend this sitter. She has a passion for what she does. Thank you.

So this is my first time using Rover my dog is a rescue beagle with really bad separation anxiety. We haven't even had him a year and this was only our second time leaving him. The first time I left him with family and he chewed furniture and blinds so that isn't an option anymore. So I decided to give Rover a shot and I came across Olivia's profile. She was exactly the type of sitter I was looking for. She was great from my request and ask a couple questions and we set up everything. She texted me the night before our reservation just to confirm and everything went smooth for drop off. She listened to all my crazy rambling (I swore I wouldn't do it but I did) and made sure Bernie (my dog) and I were both comfortable before I left. I felt like he was in good hands. She sent me pictures and updates through his stay and when I picked Bernie up he was well cared for and happy. We already spoke about another trip and she agreed to watch Bernie again. I highly recommend Olivia and we will be repeat customers. She really is an animal lover and will care for your pet the way you would.

Rover has delivered positive sittings for sure, but this one really felt like the perfect experience. It's important that we leave our dog with someone who is pet experienced, and has the right amount of time & a safe setup. But in this case, not only is the house nice/roomy with a large backyard, but also it authentically feels like Jennifer and her daughter & husband are enjoying the experience as well. I feel like dogs respond to genuine affection, and that makes all the difference for us. Jennifer took pictures of her husband comforting Moose, and gave us stories about her daughter sleeping with him in her arms. This makes us want to give him this delightful experience everytime we are forced to travel without him, if possible. Tonight he is sleeping like a baby ever since we got home, likely because of the exciting time that he has had in the last few days Thank you Jennifer for keeping him so entertained while we were gone!

This was the first time we had to leave our 1 year old pit for a weekend! She had a blast at Douglas’ house. He was very on top of sending pictures and has two very playful dogs who my Bella loves! Highly recommend leaving your doggie with him!

First time that I left Cara for any length of time. Comforting to know that she is in such wonderful care with Tina and Shane! I can’t recommend them highly enough. Cara will be having another staycation with them in late September.

John took such good care of our girl while we were out of town. She had so much fun playing with the other dogs and loved (I’m sure) the treat of sleeping on the bed with her pack. We received pictures and videos every day. I would recommend John to look after your furry loved one whole heartedly!

Decuan is amazing dog sitter whom I highly recommend to anybody looking for someone to trust with their fur baby. He keeps in contact the whole time throughout the boarding process. I’ve used him a couple times now and my Charley cries when we drive away from his apartment building. Decuan is the best and you should really think about using him to take care of your dog.

Kathryn was absolutely amazing in taking care of our boxer. The day before we dropped her off, our dog had an emergency, leading to a full-day vet assessment and some medicines to take home. Kathryn accommodated our last minute change in schedule, was diligent in giving the meds, provided daily (at least) updates with pictures and overall made our girl feel at home and have a great time. Would use her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend to everyone else. She is wonderful!
