“Karina and her husband Jared are fantastic! This was our second time having them watch our dog, Nova, while we were away on vacation. Nova ends up getting her own vacation when staying at Karina & Jared's house! They always take such good care of Nova and Karina always gives us updates on Nova twice a day! We are so grateful that we found such amazing people to care for our pup when we are away! We (especially Nova) look forward to seeing Karina and Jared again soon! Thank you both so much for always being there and taking such amazing care of our Nova!! 10/10 recommendation!”
“I was very anxious about using a new sitter during a week-long vacation, but Allison immediately put my mind at ease! It was clear from the moment we met, that my dog, Grandpa, was in good hands. She sent photos every day along with daily updates, which made it much easier to relax! I recommend Allison without hesitation and will definitely be using her again!”
“Honey had a blast with Katie and her sweet dog Storm and got great exercise. She's a big doodle with a lot of energy so I appreciate the care Katie gave my 60lbs giant baby :) thank you (and Storm) so much!!”
“I would not hesitate to use Maria again to watch our dog Jack. The pictures she sent showed him playing and his ears were up telling us that he was happy. She was very easy to work with and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was so easy and reassuring knowing that he was happy and playing and not in a kennel. He came home happy and tired and I think a little sad that he didn't have his friends to play with at home.”
“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!”
“Amanda and her family took care of Butters very well. the family is welcoming and caring. Butters had a wonderful time. definitely recommend. Thank you so much for taking care of Butters.”
“Shanagay sent regular updates and photos that showed me that Maggie Mae was in good hands. The sitter's proximity to my home makes it easy to get care for Maggie when I am away.”
“I recently had Gail take care of my dog, Dior, for a week while I was on vacation. The bond Gail and her dog Ginger formed with Dior was heartwarming. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog, providing plenty of love and attention. Dior came home happy and well-exercised, which is a testament to the great care they received. Safety was a top priority for me, and I felt completely at ease knowing Gail was watching over my pet. [He/She/They] followed all instructions regarding feeding and I appreciated the regular updates and photos that kept me in the loop. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience with Gail. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Katrini was wonderful!! This was the first time we left our dog and she took such great care and gave him so much attention. Daily pictures were so appreciated! Will definitely leave our dog with Katrini every time we go away!”
“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”
“We left our sweet little king charles cavalier spaniel (Daisy) with Kaylyn for two weeks while we were away. Kaylyn is just wonderful! Took great care of Daisy and communicated with us every day. Gave us lots of peace of mind! This is the second time we have used Kaylyn. We highly recommend her!!”
“We had a great experience leaving our Cocker Spaniel Alfred with John. Every part of the experience was excellent — John offered to meet us and Alfred the week before the drop off; when we dropped Alfred off John said he was going to spend some one on one time with Alfred to get to know him. It was easy and our dog loved his visit. We’ll be back again for sure!”
“I was grateful to find Jill and Sean. They took such good care of my Jasper. They kept me informed of how he was adjusting and heard all the fun he had. They will def be the ones I will contact for our next trip”
“Triba was wonderful and so professional to work with! We really appreciate how she handled our dog with separation anxiety - she made him (and us) feel comfortable with a day-long boarding.”
“This is our second time booking with Kim and once again she was great! Professional, timely and easily accommodated our dog’s special diet and supplement regime. Highly recommend!”
“We can't tell you how very grateful we are to have found Kristin on Rover. This was so much more than simply a safe and healthy boarding experience! She (and Mark!) engaged our Blake in daily life like he was their own. The frequent notes and photos let us know he was happy and content, not to mention thrilled to be with other dogs! He really had a great time! To say "highly recommend!" is truly an understatement. Thank you Kristin!”
“Ricky takes care of our boys like his own. He lives a little far away, but I don’t mind driving there because I can go do my things with peace of mind when my kids are with him.”
