Otis was WONDERFUL. We couldn't have higher praise for him. We originally had another Rover scheduled for boarding, and she canceled on us 3 hours before we were supposed to head to the airport. Otis helped us last minute and arrived right on time to save us. Our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy is a highly energetic handful, and Otis kept her entertained and stimulated the entire weekend. Our dogs loved hanging out with him, and he was great about sending us picture updates throughout the day. The house was also in even better condition than when we left it. Otis was the best dog sitter and house guest, and we would 100% always book him if we could.

Polina did a wonderful job watching Jackson and Mia. I was gone for over a week on a trip and she stayed with them the whole time. She kept me up to date on their needs while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again in the future!!

Monica was incredible with our dog Gryffin. She was super responsive, provided frequent updates, sent tons of pictures and kept us in the loop on everything happening while we were gone. She wrote up a comprehensive summary when she left, detailing everything she took care of before leaving our home, which included washing the bedding and cleaning up our kitchen. We have already booked Monica again to take care of Gryffin and absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dogsitter.

Robin did a fantastic job caring for my dog Clyde. She maintained his routine and as a result of her efforts, I returned home to a dog who was calm & completely himself. Her love for animals is obvious. Thanks Robin.

Kim was amazing. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little hesitant. She put us at ease immediately at the meet and greet. We will definitely use her again.

Malcomn is literally a dog whisperer. He is absolutely incredible! My pup has high anxiety and doesn't take well to many people. He ADORED Malcomn upon meeting him. Malcomn is extraordinarily communicative, responsible, conscientious, timely, and not only does he take the most amazing care of your pup - treating them like they are his own - he sends frameworthy pics after every walk, including a detailed summary of the dog's activities. I trust Malcomn to look after my Brody as well (or even better!) than I do. Brody got excited daily to see Malcomn and had the best time. He was ecstatic to spend time with him. Our biggest regret in moving was leaving Malcomn. Don't hesitate to hire him - he is the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! He develops a close relationship with your fur baby and if you invest the time to get to know him, he'll do the same with you. Saying he is one in a million is not enough - he's one in a zillion! I cannot recommend Malcomn highly enough.

If you need someone reliable, experienced, and caring to take care of your dog, look no further than Katelyn. She is one of the only people I trust to watch my dog and she’s truly the best. My dog has pretty significant health issues and Katelyn has no problem giving him oral meds, insulin injections, and eye drops. When he’s with her I never have to worry, and I know that he’s well taken care of and loved. She also has two dogs of her own and has extensive experience fostering dogs of all shapes and sizes. I simply cannot recommend her enough!

Abby was seriously amazing!! Can't recommend her enough. She stayed at our home with our 8 year old dog Schaefer for 8 nights while we were out of the country. Abby was amazing about sending photos and updates, got at least 2 pictures everyday. She left our home absolutely immaculate and our pup was super well cared for. Wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for either just talk walking or to stay at your home for an extended trip. Thanks Abby!

Maggie has taken care of our cats (and lizard) many times while we've been out of town, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Maggie genuinely enjoys playing with the cats and giving them attention. We always know that they will be fed as requested. And when we arrive home again, it is clear that they've been well taken care of and are not stressed. Maggie is extremely responsible and truly enjoys being around and taking care of animals.

Danny was great with our 3 dogs! We have 2 high energy shepherd mixes and one big Newfie. He was able to manage feeding time where the dogs have to be separated and took the high energy ones for a walk. Danny also stayed at our house and left it clean and picked up all the dog poop. We are definitely booking him again.
