“My two pups had a great time at daycare for the last 3 days while I was in town on business. Pattie & Mike were super flexible as this was a last minute booking, and kept us updated with adorable pics showing how much fun they were having all day. One of my pups is typically very shy around new people and will shake or hide behind us, but on our second day she went straight to them, happy as can be, wagging like crazy at dropoff. I know my girls are in good hands here, and will definitely be using Pattie again when I'm in town.”
2. Michael P.
“We are incredibly grateful for the fantastic care provided to Flynn by Mike and his family! From the moment we reached out on short notice, he was incredibly accommodating. Throughout the day, we received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Flynn was in great hands. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our baby—your attention to detail and thoughtful communication made all the difference!”
3. Megan W.
“My dog Leo loves going to Megan’s house! He’s always super excited when we get there. We go on walks in Megan’s neighborhood and he always pulls me to go over there. He really likes it!”
4. Prithvi Ganesh K.
“Prithvi has been absolutely wonderful from the start of our communication, to the meet and greet, and to caring after Penny today while our caregivers are still out of town. I felt very comfortable leaving Penny with Prithvi and her new friend Loki. Thank you for the updates, pictures and videos.”
5. John S.
“John knew that Sadie liked to fetch tennis balls thrown with a Chuck-it, so he did that for her. Twice! In very cold weather & it hurt his shoulder. I really like that he only takes 1 dog family at a time. He treats my dog like his dog. Has a wonderful big fenced yard, during warmer weather has dog doors so they can go in & out at will. His dog Peaches is very sweet.”
6. Erena M.
“I am so happy to have found Erena in Rover. She was very welcoming and understanding of my dog’s situation and assured me that she will be safe and will have her quiet place. Thank you very much!”
7. Paula Anne V.
“Paula took great care of Felix today. He came home as a happy puppy! She took detailed notes throughout the day and took pictures of Felix. Highly recommend Paula for your special pup!”
8. Anna C.
“As always Teddy had a great time at Anna’s! Anna takes great care of him and Archer is his new BFF! I love getting Anna’s photo and video updates. They always put a smile on my face no matter what is happening at work. Definitely recommend Anna!”
9. Mary B.
“This is our first time using Rover and we are so lucky to find Mary. My Shiba Inu Jiro never had any daycare or boarding experience before, Mary eased my nerves by having a Meet & Greet even before our first booking. Mary is very patient and experienced. She asked me questions about Jiro, and tried to understand Jiro better. During the day, She sent me messages and photos telling me Jiro was doing great. She also took small video clips. Jiro had great time at Mary’s place, and I will definitely book again. Thank you, Mary!”
10. Boris C.
“I love to find Boris in my trip to Chicago, He was really nice and I received a quick answer about my questions & upddates. And of course Freyja had a really good time and I received photos & videos.”
11. Jenn C.
“A lot of us tend to seek reviews with both positive and negative aspects and see whether our pets would be in good hands. I am happy to say that Jenn has been superb with our 4-month old puppy. I can tell how much passion, love, and caring she has for her boys and my puppy when I met her in person. There are other highly rated day care places in the area, but Jenn really takes her care and love to dogs to the next level. Our puppy Zucci has a unique personality and can be stubborn at times (that's an understatement). While with Jenn's boys, Zucci seems to have learnt how to behave by observing them and playing with them. For us, there is indeed a different between those who hosts dogs versus those who truly take care of them. If you are seeking a day care place that offers more than just a day care, please contact Jenn. I don't envision going else where in the future if I need help again.”
