1. Susan O.
“My pup really enjoyed her first stay with Susan and her family. Susan is responsive with communication, sent along great pictures, and kept my pup happy and busy with walks and time playing in the yard.”
2. Jeff B.
“Jeff and his wife took good care of Marley! He stayed with them for 3 nights and we received daily updates via msgs, pictures, and videos. He’s a little quirky and we appreciate them rolling with it :) Thank you for giving him a safe and loving “vacation.””
3. Cassandra & Jason K.
“Cassandra and Jason were AMAZING - the best Rover care we have ever experienced. We booked them for an extended stay on short notice when our initial plans changed. They were so communicative and always sent prompt updates & photos. They took Junie on numerous walks and were always asking about her routine to maintain consistency. We feel so fortunate to have found Cassandra and Jason, and I would recommend them to anyone that wants the best care for their pets. We’ll be sending Junie their way for all future stays!”
4. Rui P.
“Rui’s home was a haven for our little Sugar dog! She loved playing with the other little dogs Rui was watching and came back being more consistent in her “stay” command which was an awesome help to us. When we left she put her paw on the window sill and watched us leave like a movie scene or something ? she really had a great time.”
5. Lily B.
“Lily was great. She was very nurturing and fun. Her place was very clean and she was very friendly. She took great care of mochi and was very responsive and sent daily photos and updates. Would use her again!”
6. Ryan P.
“Ryan was awesome! He kept me updated and sent pictures of my dog regularly. Leo (also a shih tzu) and Fritz together was so cute! My dog can be needy but there were no issues.”
7. Chris N.
“Chris was awesome! I love the comfort of leaving our dog, Lilah, at Chris' house. There she got to play with other dogs and not be kept in a crate for three days. I love how flexible Chris was on the pick up and drop off hours. I knew she was well taken care of when I picked her up and she smelled wonderful. They had gone to the park and Chris gave her a bath afterward. We will definitely use Chris' services anytime we need him. ~~Wilkinson Family~~”
8. noor a.
“It looked like Ringo had the absolute best time with Noor! Noor was super responsive and made sure to send updates and photos each day. We will definitely be booking with Noor again!”
9. Tyler E.
“Highly, highly, recommend! Leaving your dog with a sitter is stressful. Even more so when you need to board them with someone you don't know. Tyler was super communicative during the whole process, especially during our conversation prior to my dropping my dog off with him. He patiently listened while I described my dog's personality and behavior, and he asked questions of his own that helped put us at ease with leaving our dog with him for several days. Stressing about your pet while you're away can ruin a trip, or compound things when you have to travel unexpectedly - I will not hesitate in the future to ask Tyler to care for our family member again!”
10. Asha C.
“Asha was fantastic w/ Bella. Asha updated me every day and sent me a ton of pictures (which I wanted). She was very receptive and open. She’s great!!! 10/10 would book again and recommend! :)”
11. Samuel H.
“Sam was great with our dog and so easy to work with. He made sure our pup got all the attention and care he needed and then some—our pup was sad to have to leave. I appreciated the consistent updates and photos. We will be booking with him again.”
12. Manuela Diaz H.
“Manuela was amazing!! She was so understanding of the anxiety someone will feel leaving their pup with a new person and took whatever steps to make me feel more comfortable. We met both virtually and in-person (to introduce Moose and her dog, Morgan) before I dropped him off for the weekend. She sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the weekend of him playing and cuddling with Morgan. She also was very flexible and helpful when I needed to rearrange my plans due to a travel issue. I'd give 6 stars if I could :)”
13. Lily C.
“Lily took EXCELLENT care of our dog Dez! She an amazing dog sitter and kept us updated during his stay. We will for sure be reaching back out to Lily for future stays! Thanks Lily!”
14. Whitney H.
“Whitney was great! My dog Storm really enjoyed her time with Whitney! I’d definitely book Whitney again.”
15. Amy T.
“She was amazing and sent tons of photos and updates, which I appreciate! Witten had a great time and we will be using her in the future. Highly recommend!”

20. Wilson C.
“Wilson was very prompt and responsive while mango was boarding there. He updated me with pictures and smallest updates about his food routine et al. Now, Mango is back home looking cheerful.
