“As first time puppy parents and first time Rover users it was extremely difficult to leave our pup with anyone else. Suzanne made the entire process extremely easy and comfortable for us. From the booking and flexible arrangements to a slew of happy pictures of our puppy Eloise smiling and playing with her and her family made us feel extremely comfortable in our decision and allowed us the peace of mind to enjoy our getaway. We will not hesitate to use Suzanne again for any of our boarding needs in the future. Thank you Suzanne for loving up on our pup for us!”
“Brittany is amazing. She literally will treat your pet like her own and spoils them like they should be ❤️ I know my husky loves staying with her and she is my go to person! He even got a toy for Christmas. He gets so much exercise and love. Thank you Brittany!”
“Thank you for a great stay! Minnie was so happy and we appreciate the time you took chatting with us about training tips and the photos of her playing. Minnie is looking forward to her next stay.”
“Shelby was great for our young puppy. We were worried because she’s super young and not even 4 months yet and we just got her a few weeks ago. But Shelby took care of her perfectly, followed her schedule and she had a great time. She kept us up to date with videos and photos, and our dog even got to get some socialization by becoming good buddies with her dogs. Definitely recommend her and will use her in the future if we need to!”
“Denise was great with my pup, Emery! She kept me updated throughout his stay and was very communicative. I would definitely be comfortable having Emery stay with her again in the future!”
“I am thankful for Jessica taking care of my dog last minute. She was very flexible and reasonable as I had a las minute situation. My dog came back happy and smelling wonderful. I am definitely coming back as she is such a professional and truly loves to take care of dogs just as her own. Jessica and her wonderful family have an amazing property where the dogs can run and play. Feel free to book with her and your furry friend will find a second home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“If I could give 5,000 stars I would… Elizabeth and her family are absolutely wonderful! I have never used Rover or left my fur babies with a stranger before and needless to say, I was a MESS! We had a family trip in Ohio we couldn’t miss and Elizabeth watched our new/rescue 11 month old American Bully Huey! Elizabeth was wonderful from the time we met and even when I dropped him off crying my eyes out with anxiety! She sent photo updates constantly, they treated him as if he was their own, giving him all the love and attention!! He got to play with their two pups, kids, and enjoy there wonderful fenced in backyard! They walked him and even spoiled him with a car ride to get a pup cup! Huey pretty much was on his own fun filled vacation! Elizabeth even went as far as to drop him off at our house and safely crate him the night we flew in, so he could be home when we got home. This was wonderful! She even offered to take our other dog out for a potty break when she came over to drop Huey off. She is absolutely wonderful, I have nothing but the most amazing things about her and her family! I truly can not thank you enough!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Hopefully we will be seeing you soon and Huey can visit!”
“Kristin’s home is our dog’s home away from home. She is an experienced & caring person who treats our old girl like she’s her own. We are so grateful for her & her family🩷🐾”
“Our dogs stayed with Coy for 9 days over the April vacation. They seemed to have an amazing time. We were updated about them with videos and texts about the dogs. Coy was very knowledgeable about my texas heeler and has given me some helpful tips for her training and the overall health of our dogs. I highly recommend Coy”
“Liz and John couldn’t have provided better care for our dog, Wiley. It was superb attention to Wiley and keeping us informed of her activities. I would recommend Liz highly. She is the best. We will certainly use her again.”
“Dana just loves dogs and my dog is always very happy when she is with Dana. I have used her 3 times and would not hesitate to have my dog with her again! She also sends me wonderful pictures. I trust Dana!”
“Leanne and Michael took great care of Cooper while I was away. They sent me updates with pictures throughout his stay. I could not have asked for a better experience. I would definitely recommend using them if you need to board or are in need of any of services they offer. They are lovely!”
“We had a wonderful stay with Keasha and her son, she kept us updated on how our pup was getting on and he seemed to settle in with them with ease. Would highly recommend!”
“Our dog stayed with Erica and Thomas & family for 2 nights. We were given updates throughout the stay. This was appreciated as it was his first time there. A beautiful countryside home with a big yard and drop off and pick-up went smoothly. Marino will be back.”
“We went on a 16 day trip out of the country and we knew Marley was in safe and caring hands. We got regular videos which reassured us he was happy and having a great time with the other dogs. The best review was when we were eating at an outdoor restaurant patio and suddenly he started to wag his tail like crazy! I was trying to think of who would cause that type of reaction, and it was Shannon and her husband! We will definitely be going back to Shannon.”
“Ana was amazing when it came to taking care of my senior dog! This was my first time ever boarded my dog in the 12 years I’ve owned her and I’m so glad I was able to book with her! My dog is usually really shy and gets really stressed easily but she was so comfortable with Ana. Honestly, I was nervous too because my dog became a little more nervous and needy since she got diagnosed with diabetes but Ana managed her very well! I’m so glad I chose Ana to watch over my doggo while I was away. She kept me updated daily and even socialized my dog with the other dogs she was watching. Will definitely book again!”
