Heidi was the answer to our prayers. Our beloved Emma--Charlie's soulmate and playmate for almost nine years--died shortly before we were to go abroad, so we needed a special place where Charlie could feel secure and loved but also have lots of space to explore and enjoy the company of other dogs. Heidi could not have been more perfect. Her accommodations were perfect--big wonderful yard on a rural farm, very homey-feeling dog spaces, and tons of canine companionship. Just as important, Heidi reassured us from the start that Charlie would get extra TLC and followed up with just the right frequency of text messages, photos and occasional videos. She even (with my okay) introduced Charlie to canned pumpkin to deal with some emerging GI issues. She was quick to respond to every communication and was so accommodating of changes in our schedule. Really, five stars aren't enough.

Tomislav and Hillary were so wonderful to Goose! They treated him like their own, sent frequent updates, and overall were super easy to work with (and flexible since I booked a day in advance!). Would definitely recommend.

I can always count on. Danielle to take the best care of my Casco. He is very high energy but she appreciates the Springer spaniel personality! She keeps me updated and lets me know how snugly he is. We use her often and always are grateful.

I can't recommend Elisabeth highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Ollie, and it was clear from the start how much love and attention she gave him. Every day, she sent multiple high-quality photos and detailed updates that showed just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She went above and beyond by dressing the dogs in warm outfits and taking them on engaging walks, keeping Ollie active and entertained. Not only did she keep him well-exercised, but she also worked on teaching him commands! It is obvious how much she cares about providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for watching Ollie!

Steven did a fantastic job with my 2 labs during our 16 day vacation. He provided frequent updates and photos of our boys. He was great both playing ball and exercising our younger dog, as well as tending to the medical needs of our older dog. When we returned, they almost seemed sad to leave! Steven was very accommodating when our flights were rescheduled at the end of our trip, which necessitated one additional day. I would highly recommend Steven, and look forward to rebooking him for another trip.

Our lab had a great week long stay with Victoria. He is more of a loner dog but got along very well with Victoria's two dogs. I felt very comfortable with him there and felt that Victoria and Bobby were very dog savvy and could take care of issues that might arise. No issues arose and I know our dog was well cared for and they reported in while I was gone, which was very comforting! This was the first time our dog stayed anywhere except at home.

Christina was an amazing sitter for my little pup! She was so communicative and I was so happy to get stories and pictures morning noon and night. I can tell she truly has a heart for animals and she was great to work with! I would definitely return again and would recommend her to other Rover parents. Thanks Christina!

Trisha and her family welcomely accepted a short notice request for 2 days of in-house sitting our dog, Peanut. We received regular updates and felt safe and secure as our original plans for boarding were unexpectedly changed. All the more stress relieving considering the reason for our dog-sitting was during our wedding weekend! Thanks you so much for your willingness to help us on short notice and expertly caring for our fur baby!!!

Julia and her husband were very understanding about my situation. I had to leave my two dogs with them while moving and it was unfortunately during one of my dog’s last days. My oldest dog unfortunately passed two days after this visit and I appreciate their understanding in helping to watch him despite his being sick.
