“Wally loved his time with Frankie. They went for lots of walks together, had lots of snuggles and she shared many photos of them having a good time. It was very reassuring knowing our fur baby was so well taken care of. We will definitely be requesting to board with Frankie again!”
“Amazing boarding experience by a loving family! It was Jimmy’s first time staying overnight, and Hongxiang’s family made sure he was well-socialized with other dogs at the house, and settled in comfortably. Will definitely book again! Thank you so much”
“They took such good care of our puppy , Aapa and frequently shared updates and videos/ pics throughout the day. We felt really comfortable with their prompt communication, appreciated the thorough questions they asked prior to the boarding and their genuine care for our pup. 10/10.”
“This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Leaving Fili with Mariel and Bram felt so safe and reassuring. From the very first message I received from Mariel, I could tell she was the perfect person. She was incredibly kind and warm. From the moment Fili stayed with her, she constantly sent me photos and videos, which meant a lot to me. She created such fun and meaningful experiences for Fili and taught him so much. They went on walks several times a day, and I could clearly see how happy Fili was. Mariel takes care of dogs with true love, and that’s something really special about her. I’m usually a very anxious person when it comes to my dog, but with Mariel, I felt completely at ease. I truly hope that whenever I need to leave my dog with someone, it can always be Mariel. Mariel, I’m so happy to have met you and Bram. Thank you for being so professional, caring, and wonderful.”
“Carly and Scott were very welcoming and were quick to set up a meet and greet that I requested. My dog was very happy with them and was well taken care of. I will definitely be having them sit my dog again!”
“Stanley was well taken care of by Stéphanie! We received updates and great photos of Stanley having the best time. We felt very at ease during our trip, knowing that Stanley was happy!”
“Fantastic to be able to leave your fur baby with very nice people in a real home. Sascha was so kind and obviously knows a great deal about dogs. I needed boarding for just one night and Sascha was so accommodating. Thank you!”
“I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend Hui and her family to care for your pet. Ollie was incredibly well looked after and had an absolute blast playing with their sweet Bernedoodle! We received daily photos and videos—which our daughter loved—and I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with them again. Five stars!”
“Our boy Maverick had a great time overnight, was sent plenty of pictures throughout his stay seeing the walks and time they spent with them. Highly recommend and will definitely be using again”
“My cat Winnie had such a great time with Lilly! Lilly was wonderful to work with and took such great care of Winnie while I was away. Lilly sent frequent updates and photos/videos of Winnie playing. I felt comfortable knowing she was in good hands and enjoying her time with Lilly. I would definitely recommend Lilly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“I can't express enough how amazing Tia was with Maya and Klonkie. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding. Tia arranged a call prior to their booking to ensure all their requirements were noted prior & showed a genuine love for dogs, which was evident in how well Maya and Klonkie were cared for. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that put my mind at ease while I was away. It was evident that Maya and Klonkie were comfortable and happy. Maya and Klonkie came back home in great spirits and it was clear that they had a fantastic time during their stay. I would highly recommend Tia to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry family members. It's reassuring to know that such a responsible and caring person is available to look after our pets. I'll definitely be reaching out for future bookings. Five stars all the way!”
“Tracy and her husband took such great care of our dog, Snowy while we were on vacation and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We were always updated on his day and Tracy shared photos throughout his stay. Book your dog’s next stay with them, you won’t have to worry and won’t disappointed!”
“My dog had a lovely day out at Martha's. Her cmmunication was excellent, she treated my dog very well, was friendly and sensitive to the pet's needs. Added bonus was Millie made new friends too! Millie was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. Can't thank you enough, Martha. Will see you again.”
“Kimberly was wonderful with Marley! She gave daily updates and was very communicative which I appreciated. Marley enjoyed her backyard and playing with Baloo and Simba. Marley was sad to leave. I will definitely board Marley with Kimberly again.”
“Suzanne was fantastic with Bud! From the start, she was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She has a calm, positive energy, and I could tell Bud was comfortable, and settled in by the photos she sent. He came home happy and exhausted after three days of being with Suzanne which, as a dog owner, is about the best outcome you can ask for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Suzanne again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog.”
“Camille was great! Easy to connect with and always fast communication. She took care of Luna like she was her own. I was able to travel with peace of mind and without any concerns while I was away. Will be booking her services in the future!!”
“Shelly and Malik were great! I felt comfortable that Shelly would know what to do in an emergency and she already has experience training her own pup! Definitely will book again!”

Serrina was wonderful! My pup seemed to have a great time - I was updated with lots of photos throughout his stay and he was happy and calm when I picked him up at the end. Serrina accommodated his food and supplement needs without issue, she was competent and experienced. This was his first stay with her, and I had peace of mind that he was in good hands after the first brief meeting!
When I leave my dog with someone I always worry if she is going to get the same level of care and attention that I give her. I did not need to worry about that at all with Elke at James and Kasha's place. She was well taken care of! I was given regular updates of her activities and the adventures that she had. I would say they went above and beyond with the care for Elke. She looked happy in all the pictures they sent and settled in very nicely in their home.
Elisa helped us with our dog Almond. She was so sweet and took such good care of Almond. She kept updating us throughout and was very responsive. We really appreciate her taking care of our dog for 3 more hours than the expected pickup time as we were stuck due to an emergency. I would highly highly suggest her for boarding and have Almond stay with her again 😀
This was our second time booking Jeongah, and it was absolutely amazing! Our dog is well cared for, and we get regular updates to how he was doing. We really appreciate how communicative Jeongah was, and she was extremely professional as well. I'm sure we will rebook in the future, and I couldn't recommend her more. This was a fantastic find on Rover.
Thank you for always taking such good care of Penny! We always get pics and videos, and Penny is always settled and happy. It’s very nice to have a sitter that is available last minute for us, who is quick to respond, and flexible. We already have penny’s next stay booked :)
Sascha was incredible! Her years of fostering dogs and her own beautiful dog "Mira" made it a perfect fit for my Indy. She is compassionate, caring and sent loads of photo updates while I was away. Sascha will be my go to forever now having see that she loves my pup as she would her own! If there were a rating higher than 5 stars, Sascha would receive it without a doubt!
Wally loved his time with Frankie. They went for lots of walks together, had lots of snuggles and she shared many photos of them having a good time. It was very reassuring knowing our fur baby was so well taken care of. We will definitely be requesting to board with Frankie again!
Lindsay and her partner did an amazing job looking after Jasper. He came back super happy and we got regular updates throughout the visit. Jasper often has a hard time when he’s away from us and it seems like he was very happy and had a great time! Lindsay was also very comfortable giving Jasper his medication (eyedrops) and was very attentive to any issues which was important to us due to Jasper having some health complexities. We’d recommend a stay at Lindsay’s place any time and would have Jasper stay there again in a heartbeat. 10/10!
Kimberley is the best! I was so nervous to leave Charlie as we’d never spent the night apart, but she couldn’t have been in better hands. I used Kimberley on two separate occasions for 5 nights each. She took such great care of her, and I truly feel like she treated Charlie as one of her own! She had great communication, and provided daily updates (which I looked forward to each day). Charlie also LOVED being able to spend time with her two dogs, Baloo and Simba, who are the sweetest. I would use Kimberley again in a heartbeat. Your pup will be in great hands ❤️
Dexter had a wonderful overnight stay with Sara and Winston. He was so tired when I picked him up, from non-stop playing and fun walks! Sara even got him to eat his meals, which is so great considering Dexter is such a picky eater. She is such a caring person and obviously a dog lover! I would absolutely recommend Sara and Winston! They are an amazing pair :)
