“We feel so lucky to have found Charmaine on Rover!! We cannot say enough great things, but just to name a few.....we booked Charmaine to watch my mom's dog following her move to Seattle from the Midwest, we needed a place to put Toro while all the initial move craziness was happening, and Toro had the best experience of all! They took great care to be sure Toro made a smooth transition, seemed to love him like he was their own, and definitely went the extra mile in combing out all of his matted hair that had accumulated over the pandemic year! My mom was so concerned the groomers were going to have to shave all his hair off, but after staying with Charmaine for a few days, the groomers were able to just trim his hair, as all the matts were gone :). She also gave us tips about a good hair brush to use, and how to adjust his food and treats for weight loss(much needed), keeping in mind my mom likes to give Toro LOTS of treats! I wouldn't hesitate one minute in booking Charmaine to care for your dog! We're already looking forward to the next time Toro can stay with Charmaine and her loving family.”


“Tootsie had a blast at Lorena’s! She was fortunate to have another boarded small dog to play with, and got to play chase in Lorena’s backyard any time she wanted (normally she only gets to do this at the dog park)! Lorena and her husband, like my daughter, allowed Tootsie to sleep in their bed, for which we were grateful, AND because they both work from home, Tootsie had company 24-7 (her dream come true, and something she does not even get at home)! Lorena is definitely our new go-to for boarding.”


“My husky, Shadow LOVES going to Nathan’s! When we drop him off, he doesn’t even look back at us- he goes straight to Nathan’s beautiful backyard to run and play. I honestly feel like Shadow is going on his own vacation when he stays with Nathan. He is so good with Shadow, great with communication, sends lots of pictures! He’s always the first person I contact when I need someone to care for Shadow!”


“Ali and her family are the perfect fit for chewy! Her family was welcoming and he was so so happy to be with them! He loved being with ali and she was so helpful and responsive. Im sure chewy cant wait to go back and visit!!”


“This is our second time booking with Colleen and highly recommend her. She is communicative, always sends multiple pictures a day, and gives lots of love and attention to our pup. Colleen is incredibly professional and a great caretaker. Kirby was excited to see her when we dropped her off and came home super happy after spending a week with Colleen!”


“Sarah and Andrew are awesome. They loved on my pup so much and they were very easy to coordinate with! I could tell from the pics that Crosby had a great time and felt like a true member of the family.”


“Our first rover experience was great with Elle! Leaving our pups for a week was nerve wracking but Elle sent updates with photos and videos which really eased our minds and let us enjoy our vacation. Great communication and flexibility. 10/10 would recommend Elle to watch your pups!”


“Kate was fabulous! She took wonderful care of our pup, and sent updates and pics daily. Our dog didn’t seem to want to leave. You can rest-assured your pup will be in great hands with Kate!”


“Sara and her family were great sitters for my puppy Elmer! It seemed like he had a great time playing in their yard and quickly became a part of their family. Sara’s communication was also great and I had no worries the whole weekend. Thanks!”


“Izzy had a fabulous stay with Nabina! We received great updates, photos and videos and knew Izzy was getting attentive and loving care, plus so much playtime with Kona! Highly recommend!!”


“Don was wonderful with my fur boy. He stimulated and walked him. His dog and mine got along just fine and played together. My boy was pooped when I picked him up. I used Don’s grooming services and he bathed Pisco. He looks so clean! It was such a great experience. I would definitely use his services, again, and I highly recommend him to care for your fur babies.”



“Cathleen took excellent care of Daisy. Second time we had Cathleen watch her & she ran to the door at drop off. We really appreciated the frequent updates and pictures. Could tell Daisy loved her time there.”


“Our dog had a great time with Michelle while we were in the national park for a couple of nights! Michelle was incredibly warm and loving with Pepper! She took her on lots of long walks and even paraded her to all the local businesses to get some extra attention and treats. Pepper took to Michelle instantly and seemed right at home in her place. She was also easy to communicate with and very responsive via text. We will definitely be reaching to Michelle next time we need a sitter, 10/10 would recommend :)”


“We really enjoyed having our golden retriever stay with Ina for a few days! Ina sent several photos and videos throughout her stay, assuring us that our dog was well taken care of and having a fun time. We will certainly have our dog stay with Ina again in the future!”


“Madison was fantastic at providing updates and I could tell that Chomsky really enjoyed his stay with her and her family. I really felt like I could trust Madison as well - good vibes all around and she obviously is wonderful with dogs. I really hope that Chomsky can stay with her again!”


“I'm always very nervous leaving my pup with a new sitter but the moment I met Anna, I felt at ease. She was so attentive and basically dropped everything to watch our little Loaf. She has such love for dogs and was very careful to follow all of our instructions and give Loaf all the snuggles and love he needed. She also sent lots of pics during our weekend away which I just loved!!”


“My dog Hobbes had a great time staying with Cecilia! She took him on daily walks along with her two corgis, including a trip to the dog park, and she was great at providing regular photo updates during Hobbes’ stay. I would definitely use her again!”


“Kait is the best! Super easy to communicate with and very flexible. She was awesome with providing updates and took such great care of our dog. Will absolutely rebook in the future!”
