Christine was wonderful. Teddy felt right at home as soon as we got there and quickly loved her which put me at ease. She sent me photos and gave me updates on how Teddy was doing. Her home has a fenced back yard and other pups for Teddy to play with. I could tell he had a great time and was exhausted when we got home. Sign of a good visit! Will definitely book again! Thanks so much, Christine!

Kerry was wonderful — our dog is very particular and usually needs time to warm up to people, but he and Kerry were best friends immediately!! We also loved that Kerry sent us a ton of updates and pictures. Her home is very welcoming to pups, and we know Teddy felt comfortable and had a great time. Kerry is very easy to communicate with and flexible when planning pick-up and drop-off! We can’t wait until Teddy can visit Kerry again ❤️

I had never used Rover before and couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Brian! I received updates and photos throughout the weekend, making me feel confident that I had left Bernie in good hands. When I picked him up at the end of my trip, I got a happy, tired dog. I would absolutely use Brian again next time I have to leave town!

At the end of the stay my return flight was delayed and they were willing to watch my dog an extra night—super accommodating. Highly recommend and will use them again in a heartbeat!

We didn't worry about him at all and could tell from the pictures, and when we picked him up, that he had a great time! This will be Levi's new home away from home.

Bryan was amazing! He took such good care of my dog Albie. He took into consideration my concerns about Albie, who gets pretty nervous when thunderstorms are coming as well as the fact that doesn't like other dogs. They took long walks and then chilled out on the sofa when they got back. He took Albie to the dog park when it was empty so he could run around. The comments and videos Bryan sent were so reassuring. I can't say enough good things about him. He has become the first person I will contact when I need a pet sitter. Thank you, Bryan!
