1. Heather C.
“Simba had a wonderful stay with Heather and her family. She sent us pictures of him happily playing and peacefully napping. I couldn’t be happier with the care that he received. I plan to make Heather my go to anytime I need care for Simba. I will always check with her first!!”
2. Sarah & John H.
“Mason had a blast. Sarah and John were kind, responsive, and provided a great home while we were away. Their dog Blue is also wonderful. Thank you guys for everything and will absolutely be in touch if we ever need boarding again in the future 🙂”
3. Susan & John V.
“Susan & John are fantastic, they took great care of Oliver. He loved playing with Emily and all her toys. We’ll definitely be back for more doggie play dates!! Thankful for Sue being so flexible with late notice and timing.”
4. Kim D.
“Great people and am amazing, spacious, SAFE place for my dog. Excellent communication. I was happy to share my dog with these exemplary, canine-loving people. Amazing experience.”
5. Susan M.
“Susan is a great dog watcher she had our Milo for 1 week and she was awesome. She did more than I could have ever expected. We had just gotten Milo 2 weeks before our trip and he wasn’t trained she worked with him and taught him how to walk on a leash. Just the overall best. I have never used a private person before just a boarding service. I will definitely use Susan from now on whenever I need a dog sitter she even sent pictures and videos daily”
6. Kevin N.
“Kevin is very nice and he treated my dog with lots of love and walked him regularly. My dog was not big on eating his first day and Kevin expressed his concern early and kept me posted on his progress. It didn't take ling for my dog to fit right in with the new space. I appreciated all of the pictures and commentary on his activity. Will definitely book Kevin again!”
7. Katherine C.
“Katherine is the best! Would highly recommend. She does a great job communicating and treats your pet like family.”
8. Lauren O.
“Lauren was great! She kept me updated and Theo seemed to love her and her family (which he’s usually very hesitant and easily overwhelmed with strangers and new people). Would definitely recommend Lauren for future bookings!”
9. Susan F.
“Sue and her dog Tucker were incredible hosts for Toby! He was comfortable immediately. Her location was ideal for our stay in the lakes area and her communication was great. She sent us many pictures ans updates and was an overall wonderful nice woman. We will definitely use Sue again when we stay up in the area.”
10. Caitlyn P.
“A+ care for our goldendoodle. We received photos of daily walks, hikes, snuggles and love. Totally exceeded our expectations. So grateful for Caitlyn!”

“She was goid with the dog and informed me of things i was un aware of”
14. Michelle & Ken G.
“I’m am so glad we found you! My baby had so much fun with your family. She slept the whole night, which is not the usual for her. She usually wakes me up at 3/4 in the morning to play before I go to work. I would definitely recommend Michelle!”
15. Chelsi C.
“Chelsi is incredibly responsible and caring. I would absolutely recommend her pet services. She’s a great communicator and I absolutely trust her with my pets. She really goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and cared for— getting all the love and attention they need while you’re away.”
16. Nataliya A.
“Nataliya was awesome! Bane had so much fun with her and her pups, and came back exhausted from a fun filled weekend. Will definitely be back to play soon!”
17. Briahna O.
“Briahna and her husband are so wonderful! They are kind, caring and compassionate sitters. Our dog Gunner is on the "gray" scale of age. They go out of their way to accommodate his limitations (fear of hard wood floors as an example). We are so thankful that we found her - we trust her implicitly with our boy.”
18. Manessa L.
“It's our first time to use Rover.com, our experience is great. Manessa is a lovely pet-sitter, and our senior dog Snowy was very comfortable at her house. Manessa also sent reports and pictures to us everyday which made us have no worries at all. We will definitely use Rover.com and Manessa again in the near future.”
19. Gabrielle D.
“Gabrielle is awesome, from the moment my husband and I met her I knew she would take good care of our German Shepherd dog. I really loved that she had us do a meet and greet with her and the other dogs to get Freya comfortable. My dog can be an absolute diva and Gabby tried to do everything she could to make Freya feel at home. I highly recommend Gabby, we will be boarding our dog with her again in the future :)”
20. Madison B.
“Madison has always been surrounded by animals, making her well-versed in many different animal concerns. Owning two dogs, she is used to the responsibility of walking and caring for not only one dog but two dogs at one time. In addition to this, she has become the new owner of a Bernese Mountain Dog. Getting him as a puppy, she is well-experienced with training, exercise needs, and feeding habits of dogs of any age. Being a pet owner myself, she has also helped me with my pets! I own two dogs; one Zuchon and one Norwegian Buhund. She has taken care of them in the form of walking, feeding, playing, and watching them. Overall, Madi is well-prepared and enthusiastic about any animal need.”
