“More than we could’ve asked for!! Y’all went above and beyond with our sweet Holly and we can’t wait to have her come visit y’all again soon!! Thank you so much!”
“Kendra was so wonderful with our dog Otis! This was our first experience with Rover and I’m so grateful for her taking such great care of him. Kendra was very knowledgeable, and very attentive to his care. She put his anxiety at ease as well as mine. She sent us pictures and updates throughout his stay. It was so comforting to know he was well taken care of. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Brittany was as sweet as could be--and side note: ADORABLE twin toddlers! ;-) Apparently Buster and the tots kept each other busy to the point of everyone napping by the end of the visit. I was visiting from out of town for a family event, and if/when I go again, I'll definitely leave Buster with Brittany. Thank you so much, Brittany!”
“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Olga took such great care of Buddy, my beagle! I know that he really was as happy as could be during his stay, and I plan to board him with Olga in the future!!”
“I have been using Roland’s help for the past three years, and it has been a great experience. Every time I go on vacation with my family, I feel at peace knowing my dog is in good hands. Roland always sends pictures and messages to keep me updated. I know my dog well, and I can see in the photos how happy and comfortable she is. She’s playing outside, eating, relaxing on his couch (which she’s not allowed to do at home), or just enjoying time with other dogs. It really feels like a vacation for her too. Roland and his wife are amazing he truly cares and treats her like family.”
“Very professional and great to work with. My puppy had the time of her life and was tired from playing when we got home. She was a very happy puppy and I'm glad to have found such a great puppy sitter.”
“Annie was the best with our 3 dogs. Before book her i look a lot of profiles and she had the best comments so even when she was one hour far from me i book her and was the best decision. She sent me photos of my dogs frequently and replying all my messages. I'm really picky about my dogs but she was amazing with them, they were happy to be in her house”
“Such a relief to find someone at the last minute Tucker acted completely comfortable on arrival He acted happy when I picked him up. Great job!”
“Loved our experience with Dara! She was so great with our dog and with us and our anxiety of leaving Honey for the first time. We will definitely be returning to her!”
“Matt was able to work my pup in last minute. He was so accommodating and my dog had the best stay. I received check in photos and updates and he was flexible on the pick up and drop off times. Will definitely use his services again!”
“Thank you Heather for your kind, patient and attentive mannerisms with Levi. I can tell he really enjoyed you and I truly appreciate the pictures and updates of Levi while in your care. I will definitely be contacting you soon for your help. Thank you again.”
“I had a great experience boarding my dog with Melissa. This was a last-minute booking, and as a first-time boarder, I was a bit nervous, especially since my dog has slight reactivity. But Melissa was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. Her home is well set up for dogs, including a fenced-in yard, which gave me peace of mind. She was especially understanding and flexible when my flight got delayed and I had to pick up my dog later than planned. I really appreciated her communication and care. Highly recommend Melissa if you’re looking for someone trustworthy and dog-savvy!”
“Jharasen took amazing care of our 9 month old puppy! She kept us updated with pics and info and was very communicative. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Krysti was great! last minute I needed a dog sitter for a few days and she was very accommodating when it came to drop off and pick up times. She kept me up to date with photos, and my baby seemed to have a great little staycation with krysti and her family!”
“Where to start…. This was our first time using Rover and our first time ever leaving our fur-baby, so we were super nervous. Thankfully Zoey went above and beyond to make everything perfect. We got to come by for a meet and greet a few days before drop off for the dogs to meet and get a feel for each other. Her house is super cute and very clean and dog friendly. We got daily updates, pictures and videos showing a happy puppy and it really put us at ease knowing she was getting snuggles and love while we were on vacation. We can’t recommend Zoey enough and we have for sure found our dog sitter for future trips. 10 stars!!!!!”
