“Sylvie is just amazing! She cares for my furry friend just like he is one of her own. He plays all day, socializes with other dogs in their huge back yard and has an absolute blast! It’s like he comes home from from an extended play date every time!”
“We have had our two dogs stay with Angelo and Dawn before and it’s the best decision we made on who will care for them when we are out of town. They are so very kind and accommodating, and are very quick to respond to messages. They send multiple videos throughout the day and are excellent with their care, including special feeding guidelines and supplements. We live about 30 minutes away from them, but the drive is worth it for the best care for our babies. They provide superior care and love your babies as their own. So grateful for them!”
“Alex did a very good job of giving me updates during my dog's stay. And the videos and pictures she sent showed my dog was having a good time. And my dog must have, she's been doing nothing but sleeping since we got home. Thanks Alex!”
“This was my first time leaving my 10 year old Charlie with someone besides my parents. The second I met Bridget for our meet and greet I knew it was a perfect fit. Charlie stayed with her for 4 nights. She sent me updates and pictures immediately, and I knew he was in wonderful care! She treated him like one of her own and he had a great time meeting his new friends. I will absolutely book her for my future trips as well as daycare when he needs some extra playtime. I can’t thank her enough for easing my anxiety and taking the best care of my dog. Not having to worry about your animals when you are away is priceless.”
“Michelle and Christy were outstanding!! We received a text and pics every day and we could see that our little dogs were happy and comfortable staying with them. Our dogs were outside running with their dogs and living the good life while we were on vacation. The care and attention that our babies were given allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that they were in excellent hands. I would highly recommend Michelle and Christy to other pet parents!! 🥰”
“Karen was great with our dogs Bella and Brandy! She was very friendly and responsive and sent us lots of updates and pictures during our vacation! We will definitely use Karen again for future trips!”
“My pups had another fun stay at Cathy’s! Cathy went over and above this time as my young, very large dog had to wear a cone and a bandage on his paw and leg. She made sure to keep the bandage dry, changed it when needed, and put up with his banging around in the cone without batting an eye!!”
“Magda is our favorite Rover sitter. I feel that she treats our little pup as her own. I am always very comfortable leaving my dog with her and not having to worry at all.”
“Debbie and Reggie did a great job with my dog Jake. They were flexible with pick up time when my return flight was delayed and I found Jake happy and well cared for. They sent me great pics throughout my vacation which gave me peace of mind that Jake was well cared for. I will book them again when I go out of town.”
“Beth was excellent! This was a great experience, I would definitely recommend Beth (and her sweet little dog Gracie!) and will be sure to reach out to her again when needed. Thank you so much, Beth!”
“I feel like Kyle struck the jackpot when we found Renae for boarding! It was easy to arrange pick up and drop off and we were able to meet up beforehand so that Kyle could meet Renae's two dogs. Renae kept me posted with pictures and updates about how Kyle was doing. I'm a new dog owner and Kyle is young, so I didn't know how he'd adjust to a 2+ week stay with someone else, but he had a great time and was lucky to be able to find a new playmate in Renae's younger dog. I highly recommend Renae!”
“We were pleased with our new pet sitter. Ana was kind, gentle,and caring to our senior dog, Buster. He was happy when we came home after our 5 day get away. We loved hearing from Ana and receiving pictures of Buster. Thank you, Ana”
“Shannon was AWESOME with Murph. She took the time to send pictures and updates. Most importantly she kept up on his meds and genuinely cares. Murph loved hanging out with her and with us not having to worry, he will be returning soon!”
