“This is my first time using Rover (I have used large boarding kennels for years), and I could not be happier with the care provided by Elizabeth. She sent daily photos and sometimes videos of my dog - who was obviously happy and having a great time. Liz has a competent, loving way with animals and a lot of knowledge on how to care for them. For example, Liz found and removed a tic I had not noticed and was not aware of. I recommend Liz without reservation.”


“Karen was amazing with my dog Nico. She sent lots of updates and pictures and took such wonderful care of him. She treated Nico like her own dog, and it was clear from the beginning that he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”


“My lab stayed with Dana for a week for the second time and we had another great experience! Scout came back to me happy, healthy, and tired!! Dana is very flexible, communicative, and understanding. She provides periodic updates and I trust my boy is taken care of while I’m away!”


“We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Harper with Christina and Matt when we were away for the weekend of our daughter’s wedding. It was the first time Harper had ever stayed with anyone other than family and we weren’t sure how she would be in an unfamiliar place with another dog. It was obvious when we went for a meet and greet that Christina is a dog lover and Harper warmed up to her quickly. They have a great dog friendly yard and we received plenty of updates to let us know that she was doing fine. She definitely got plenty of exercise and a lot of love. Christina was understanding about Harper’s separation anxiety and was willing to accommodate her. We will definitely be repeat clients!”


“We came to Newport for a 2day trip, and did not pre arrange any dog sitters. We reached out to Kyoka & John, and they replied immediately. They came to pick up our dog Ginger with their puppy. We immediately knew that Ginger was in safe hands. Kyoka is extremely accommodating, caring and sweet. She sent us many photos and updates. Ginger looks so happy and clean when we got him back. Highly recommend Kyoka & John!!”



“Sharon was absolutely excellent. She kept us informed about our doggie’s experience with regular updates. He can home happy and well cared for.”



“OMG...Kimberly is wonderful! Our dog, Stella was very spoiled and loved while we were gone. Kimberly took great care of her...many long walks, ball throwing and cuddles...It was great for us to feel that Stella was so happy while we were away. Kimberly sent many photos/videos to keep us updated and that was so nice to see Stella enjoying herself.”


“Miki is amazing. I highly recommend her. I know my dog had the time of his life with her. He sacked out as soon as we got home! She is so thoughtful, aware, caring, and trustworthy. Hanu also enjoyed her husband and dog Sunny too. All of them have an energy that puts you at ease immediately. I received lots of pictures and updates. Our dogs loved each other and were connected at the hip in most pictures. I have never left my dog overnight before. She made me feel so comfortable as a first timer. I would use her again 10000000000000%.”


“Elizabeth took great care of my dog Hazel and sent a lot of pictures and updates. She also took her on nice walks and Hazel had plenty of outside time. She administered Hazel's medication each day as well. Overall, Elizabeth did a great job with my dog.”


“Mr Bubs loves to go spend time with Maddie and Jack. He is always excited to be dropped off and my picky eater always finishes his meals there. It makes me happy he has a home away from home when I have to travel.”


“Nick was great for an overnight with my dogs Crackerjack and Honey. They were exhausted when they came home and were well-loved while in NIck's care. He, his fiance, and their dog Eva make for a warm family to take care of my dogs!”



“I could not be more comfortable leaving my pup with Rosie and her family! The minute I went over to do a meet and greet I knew this would be the perfect family for my furbaby to spend the weekend while I was away. Rosie updated me and sent me pics the whole time and I can tell by the pics my pup was having the time of her life! I honestly thought she wouldn’t want to come home! I highly recommend using Rosie for your pet sitting needs!”


“Madeline was AMAZING! She took great care of our little one. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a responsible, caring, sweet, loving, attentive dog sitter. He loved staying with Madeline at her place. She took him for walks several times a day, and was the best home away from home stay. Five stars all around!”


“Laura and her daughters were wonderful to Sophie, and we’re so glad we chose to book them! Laura was flexible, patient, and communicative the entire time. We had a lovely call leading up to Sophie’s stay to make sure it was a good fit and to discuss all of Sophie’s routines and behaviors. Laura took Sophie’s safety and her individual needs seriously—I never had to question if Sophie would be in good hands. Laura and her daughters treated Sophie like she was their own — they took her on long walks and adventures and incorporated Sophie into their life for the weekend. They sent me photos throughout her stay so I could see all of the fun Sophie was having, and that meant a lot. I really appreciate the care that they gave my dog and I will definitely book them again if the opportunity pops up. Thank you Laura & family for watching Sophie this weekend!”


“Can not say enough good things about Shauna & Nixley. I was nervous to leave my Roxy for nine days while I was on vacation, but they both made me feel very reassured with multiple updates/pictures. Couldn't be happier with the way she was taken care of and spoiled as if she were home with me :-) I highly recommend and will use again in the future!”

“Briana was wonderful Benny came back super happy and healthy. We had to drop off and pick up at a very early time but Briana was very understanding and helped us to coordinate everything. Will definitely go to her again!”


“Olivia was amazing with our little dog Vernon! She was available last minute and upon meeting her was super warm and friendly. She made Vernon feel very at home, sent several pictures each day, and even dropped him off for us when we were running late returning from a trip. HIGHLY recommend Olivia to watch your pup!”


“Kelly and family cared for our dog Louie overnight at their home. Louie was well cared for and happy to play in their large fenced yard. Kelly and her children are a kind, welcoming family. I would have our dog stay again without hesitation.”
