“I went out of town for a few days and left my dog Spark with Timothy. 10/10, I received pictures everyday and updates! Clean environment very professional and patient!! Spark definitely had a good time!!”
“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”
“Christina was great with our dog Asher! She was great at communicating and sent pictures of him to us while we were on vacation and showed us how he was loving spending time with their dog. They even sent us home with a new dog toy for Asher and he loves it. Thanks for helping us out! We will definitely request to book with them again.”
“Donna is great with our little 9 year old Nora., who does NOT like to be away from home. She does all she can to help Nora be happy and comfortable...as always.”
“My dog is often fairly aloof with strangers. But he bonded with Felix immediately upon meeting him! The big fenced yard was certainly a plus too. Felix sent me messages and pictures daily so that I knew they were having fun together. My dog got to enjoy long walks each day with the freedom to explore all the new smells along the way. I didn't worry or feel guilty leaving my dog behind because I knew he was happy in Felix's care!”
“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“Jake was excellent. He was very thorough introducing Griffin to his dogs and they took very good care of our dog too. I really appreciated his feedback on how the stay went as well. It is clear that he is very passionate about providing a caring environment for all dogs.”
“Pam always take awesome care of Mila and we feel at ease knowing Mila is living her best life. Extra big shout out to Pam for being flexible on our recent stay. The morning of pickup, I had to take my wife to the ER and Pam didn’t even hesitate and let Mila stay over until we got my wife taken care. She is great to work with.”
“Ru is absolutely one of the best sitters I’ve ever met. She watched Nila for three days and was so patient and really cared and loved her like Nila was her own. She always kept me updated and sent me pictures throughout the days Nila stayed with her which was amazing. Really good vibes from her and her place! Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter for their pup!”
“Renee was able to board our 2 bulldogs over the 4th holiday on short notice and we are so grateful! She has a fenced backyard, works from home and was able to spend quality time with them so they weren't lonely. They had such big smiles on their faces the whole time. Will definitely come back on our next trip!”
“Tatyana was a wonderful sitter for our dog! She sent me pictures every day with thoughtful updates of the days activities and how our dog was doing. She was accommodating with our pick up and drop off times and took such care in her process and communication details. Highly recommend!”
“Chad and his kids (and Lucy, his doodle) took great care of our Poppy! He was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Poppy seemed very comfortable there and we will send her there again!”
“Sarah was great with my dog Vala! We did a meet and greet beforehand since this was my first time using Rover. Her own dogs are so cute and I felt comfortable leaving Vala with her and her dogs for the weekend. She provided photos/updates while I was away, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely be using Sarah again in the future!”
“This was my first time using river and Lauren was great! Very communicative and kind. She sent lots of pictures and videos and it reassured us that our boy was in good hands. Will book again!”
“Remi was amazing! We booked her for overnight boarding for our 3 year old daschund and we would absolutely use Remi again in future! She provided lots of updates and pictures to make us feel very comfortable while we were away.”
“This was my first time boarding my dog with Dan and Kelly and it went very well! Henry loved the care and playtime he received and I really appreciated Dan’s communication and updates. I would book with them again. :)”
“Susan and her pets were like a vacation for our dog, Maizee, while we were on ours. Maizee was very obviously treated as if she were one of Susan’s pets and came home nice and tired. Will absolutely book with Susan again.”
