“Good service, Eva & Kallven did pet my cat very good and every day they were sending me updates about how she was doing. I will use again Eva & Kallven every time I go out of country! I’m giving them 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars !!!!!”
“Anna is always professional, courteous and responds quickly. She’s also compassionate and caring and we feel that our pets are always safe and in good hands. It’s a pleasure working with Anna. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“Pro service - crafted experience and love of cats & dogs really shows in how each visit was handled. Attention to extra details, great daily communications, and knowledgeable about security protocols.”
“She follows instructions, communicates wonderfully, and gives details about your fur babies everyday. Having Angela visit my cats every day helped me not to be anxious about leaving them!”
“Melissa is a great dog sitter. I have 3 dogs and one elderly with meds. She treats them like I would. I never worry while away. I added a last minute visit after a missed flight and she was willing to help out.”
“The absolute best!! I’ve been using Gerano for months now. He’s checked in on my dogs several times that ive been out of town. My dogs love him. He is very communicative. He does a fantastic job. Always on time and extremely reliable.”
“Kristyna is great! She was very prompt in responding and scheduling an initial meet-and-greet, and reliable for regular in-home visits to care for our cat during an extended trip. She provided great updates for each visit. Highly recommended!”
“My cat had so much here! I was very happy with how much I was updated and whenever I texted I got quick and helpful responses! Would definitely recommend for you cat to stay!!!”
“We tried Janna for the first time reading all the reviews and surely everything went just perfect. She and her husband looked after my pet cat Mitten so nicely and made him feel home. I had regular pictures and updates from Janna and you could clearly see Mitten having a comfortable time there with her. In past Mitten always lost some weight, not this time, maybe gained a good pound or so in a healthy way. We'll definitely use Janna's services and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet boarding.”
“Finally got this App to work!!! Thanks for a fantastic visit session! My boys looked as happy as they would be with me! Keep up the amazing work and thanks again! 😊😊😊😊☺️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Tonda was the perfect person for our first experience with Rover! From Tonda's first visit, it was a relief to have her there to take care of our cat Cookie. Her calendar was fairly full but she was very reponsive to our messages and was able to sqeeze our request in last minute. We hope she is available next time we have a vacation!”
“We LOVE Nicole! She’s reliable, flexible, kind, and great with dogs. Would highly recommend. We were new to rover and nervous leaving our 6 year old mix, Ace, with someone who he wasn’t familiar with. Nicole did a meet and greet with us and made sure Ace and our family felt comfortable. I wouldn’t feel at ease without all the photos, updates on appetite, walks, and seeing that Ace is happy without Nicole’s help. Thank you so much Nicole!!”
About: My family and I love dogs very much! We have two dogs of our own. One is a puppy and is still very playful. The other is older and not as playful and mostly ignores other dogs.. I live in a house with a huge backyard about the size of a football field so your dog or dogs will have lots of room to run and play. Someone is home all day every day so your dog will be provided with consistent care and affection no matter what. We don't keep them in a kennel but allow them to hang out and play with our dogs at all times. If your dog stays with us, they will get a lot of attention, be loved and well cared for. I really hope that you consider me and trust me and my family with your dog because I would never want your dog to be scared or lonely when they stay with us. Only happy, loved and played with.
