“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“When our go-to to watch Penny was unavailable, Heather saved the day! She was incredibly responsive, sent pictures/updates throughout the weekend and made me feel at ease. Thank you again, Heather!”
“Suzanne was a great sitter to our 6 month old puppy. She sent us updated pictures and information on how are dog was doing. Our dog loved staying with her and got along with her dog Koda and cat. Our dog got daily walks, play time, and Suzanne treated our dog like her own.”
“Christina was amazing with Minnie!!! They did so much, I can't believe it!! Minnie had an amazing "vacation" away from mom! Lots of play time, care and love!!! I 100% recommend Christina! Thank you again for an easy last minute request!!”
“Alina was very responsible and considerate of my dog's needs. I really appreciate her commitment to the task of taking care of my dog and would gladly recommend her, and/or book with her again.”
“We boarded our dog with Taylor for two and a half weeks. She was great. Easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures of our dog and made accommodations as necessary. Highly recommend.”
“We are so grateful to have found Kim to care for our dog Mochi while we were on a trip! She is accommodating, communicative and kind. We did not have to worry about leaving our dog with her and knew that Mochi would enjoy being around her dog as well. We got lots of pictures and Mochi got lots of exercise and rest too! I would not hesitate to ask Kim for her help in the future.”
“We had an amazing experience with Andrea watching our dog Royce while we were away visiting family in New Jersey. From the very start, she was incredibly responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with! She sent us daily updates and plenty of adorable photos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Both Andrea and her husband were so kind, friendly, and welcoming. Royce clearly felt right at home with them! He was so happy and smiling in photos, and was happy when he came home! I would absolutely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we would love to have her watch Royce again in the future!”
“Excellent and reliable. I got stuck in another state for an extra day due to a flight cancellation, and she was so helpful with watching my dog extra and flexible with a last minute change in plans. Used her services multiple times and always satisfied!”
“Nicole is such a lovely person and we’re so glad to have found her! She took good care of our weirdo husky and he came home tired, which is no small feat! We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out to Nicole again when we need doggy coverage in the future.”
“Gus stayed with Briana for 3 weeks. Like she says on her rover page: she treats your dog like her own. Kept us informed which helped us relax. We would leave Gus with Briana again and Gus would agree!”
“Charles took great care of Gus for the night. Was very responsive when I reached out. He took Gus on a nice sniffing adventure and let Gus cuddle with him all night. next time I am in the area I will definitely be reaching out again.”
“My 3 dogs had the best time! Brittany is amazing, I love everything about her. Her family is so great also, her kids were also so great with the dogs. We received so many amazing loving photos of our dogs with updates. Her house is beautiful, in the country with a private yard. I can never go back to a kennel again. We will be bringing them back for certain!”
“Sadie and her husband took great care of our dog, Millie! She sent me many pictures of Millie making herself right at home in their home! Even texted me to ask if she could take her to the dog park. Millie loved her pups as well and we'll definitely be using Sadie again if we go away!”
“Faustine did an incredible job watching our high energy Aussie she made sure to send lots of cute pictures and updates and she certainly kept up with our fast paced boy! I highly recommend her for your Future trips and vacations to watch your dog!”
