1. Allison K.
“Daisy was introduced to other animals (dogs, cats & rooster) & enjoyed her stay with Allison! She came home content & tired! We would definitely leave her then again!”
2. Jimena F.
“This was my first experience with Jimena and I have to say I give her 10/10. My shy doggy had so much fun with her and the other dogs -- he was not bored at all since he could play all day long if he wanted. I will definitely bring my Beauregard back here again. The facility for the dogs is spotless and very well taken care of. We did not have to worry about him at all and we could tune into Facebook to watch videos of the dogs. Jimena also sent us some private videos and we were very grateful that she did that. She is very kind and I would trust her with my baby any time. I know BR is looking forward to a return stay so he can play! Thank you very much!!”
3. Lisa R.

“This was our second time using Kara and she was great. Pippin seemed very happy when I picked him up and in the pictures Kara sent us. Another amazing experience.”
5. Fran C.
“We are so happy we found Fran! Fran was wonderful with our pup Lupine. She took her walking, on play dates, and let her snuggle with her. Staying with Fran was like a puppy vacation for our girl. I highly recommend Fran!”
6. Dawn & Dawn F.
“Our 2yo chihuahua stayed for 5 days this week and I’ve never seen him so happy and relaxed without me! We got plenty of updates while we were away, and it was so relieving to know our boy was engaged in activities, safely socializing with other pups, and still getting snuggles the whole time I was gone! I felt safe leaving him from the moment we walked in for our meet and greet. Now that we know how amazing our new sitter is, we plan to have him go for play days monthly to hang out with his new friends and get spoiled by his new favorite sitter!!”
7. Kalea P.
“Kalea has a love for all animals. She has had pets growing up and has always taken great care of them. She has also worked with animals at a boarding company. I would recommend her for any pet sitting.”
8. Ashley B.
“Ashley is outstanding with several animals!! She took care of my corgi, Ellie, for a weekend, and it was hard to get Ellie home cause of how happy she was with ashley. I definitely recommend her!!”
9. Hunter L.

“Excellent experience. Amanda and her family were very accommodating, communicated with us every day on how our Shelby girl was doing. They went above and beyond for this overly protective dog Mom! Highly recommend.”
11. Craig W.
“We were very pleased with Bella's stay with Craig and Julie. Bella loved the home immediately and enjoyed running up and down their stairs. We were gone for 9 days and Craig sent us pictures and updates on how Bella was getting on. We greatly appreciated the extra attention he gave to her and gave to us. We felt secure and peace knowing she was well cared for. We plan to be in the area again next year and plan to have3 Bella stay her again. We highly recommend this family.”

“Scott has loved animals all his life, and has had pets, including owning two dogs now. He is a responsible, mature trustworthy person who can be relied on to keep his commitments and follow through with excellent communication.”
13. Carola S.
“I am so fortunate to have found Carola - not only did she take fantastic care of my two Brussels Griffon, she also prepared homemade food for them when they had upset bellies. They had a great time going on walks and playing with her and I can tell enjoyed their time with her. I greatly appreciate everything she did for them.”
14. Natalie G.
“How lucky we were to find Natalie on Rover! She welcomed our senior Shih-tzu into her home with open arms and lovingly cared for her, allowing us to enjoy a much-needed vacation with our family. After meeting Natalie we could tell she is an awesome pet parent to her two dogs and cat so we felt very comfortable leaving our girl with her. She provided updates daily along with videos and photos which we truly appreciated. When we returned, we found a happy dog who wasn't necessarily ready to come home with us! She became part of a very happy family and we are beyond grateful for the excellent care she received from Natalie.”
15. Heather Y.
“Heather is an incredible caretaker for animals! She loves all animals more than anyone I know and will do anything to help keep them happy and healthy. I have seen Heather take great care of pets and love them like they’re her own on multiple occasions and can’t think of anyone I’d trust more with my pups than Heather! She is responsible and reliable and will certainly get along great with any animal she comes across!”
16. Heather M.
“Heather was a great host and took very good care of our dog Tito. We had a change of plans and she was extremely accommodating for picking Tito up early. Would definitely have Tito stay with her again. Thanks again Heather!”
17. Laura M.
“Laura is awesome!! She took perfect care of my big baby while I was in Morganton! She gave me regular updates and pictures so I didn't have to worry at all. She even endured his horrific farts! ? I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again if I'm in the area!”
18. Jill C.
“What a wonderful experience! Knowing we can leave our boys and that they are happy and being cared for is so nice! Will definitely use Jill again!”
19. Lilly E.
“Lilly has been so good. I have boarded my Aussie-doodle with her twice now and each time she has been sad to leave at the end of the stay. It’s also nice that she’s close to town. Will definitely continue to use her in the future!”
20. Kayleah S.
“Kayleah was amazing with our dog Trek. This was our first time using Rover and Kayleah made it super easy.

I highly recommend Kayleah!”
