“Jenna took excellent care of our 10 month old golden retrieve Coco. She and her family welcomed Coco into their home and provided the care and attention Coco needs. Jenna even sent texts and photos which reassured us Coco was doing well. We never like to leave Coco at a kennel when we go out of town. She is confined in a kennel with limited attention. It is good to know we have a wonderful home where Coco is welcomed and will receive loving individual care and attention thanks to Jenna. Debbie R”

“Bradley was amazing with Chinook and Apache! They had a great time during their stay—Bradley kept me updated with plenty of pictures, and the boys looked so happy when I picked them up. Now they’re both passed out asleep at home, which tells me they had a fun and active time! I’ll definitely be booking with Bradley again. Highly recommend!”


“Paige was great with communicating, on time for drop off and pick up and overall just a great fit for my pup. I truly feel like the universe brought her to me because both of our babies names are storm! I appreciate Paige so much and can’t wait to book her again! My baby came back home healthy and happy!”

“Katie was a perfect sitter for Nash! She gave him the attention and love he wanted, a great house to feel comfortable in and he almost didn’t want to leave!”

“Picky pet owner here, and I could not be happier. Blue got to play in a big fenced in yard with Colleens two sweet dogs. Constant care, love and cuddles. Blue would be very happy to go back.”

“I highly recommend Taylor, Brian, and their sweet boy, Shiloh! This was my first time leaving my rescue Scout, and I wasn't sure how she'd do. They took excellent care of her and sent updates and photos throughout my trip. Scout and Shiloh hit it off right away, and I think being in a home with another dog, rather than a boarding facility, helped Scout adjust to being away from me. This was a great experience from start to finish.”

“Misty did a wonderful job. This was the first time we left Daxter with a stranger and Misty shared photos to let us know how he was doing so we would not worry. We would use her again.”

“Elisheba was wonderful with my dog. She gave me daily updates on how she was doing and sent me fun pictures of the adventures they had while I was gone. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your pet as she has a true love for animals and she will welcome them into her home and take care of them as if it was her own pet.”

“Megan was awesome! She was flexible with our schedule and we loved that she was always responsive. Megan and her son gave our cat a lot of attention, care, and cuddles while we were gone and we definitely recommend her!”

“Sandy was able to take poppy for a pretty long stay super last minute when my original sitter cancelled, which I really appreciated! Poppy loved fetching balls in her backyard every day and I got some awesome action shots to prove it. Thanks so much for taking care of my girl!”


“Eric is an outstanding human being to care for your your furry best friend. We booked him last minute for a few days to settle in to our new apartment because our dog was showing signs of anxiety and lack of attention. Eric truly changed Bubs to his goofy happy self again and we can't be any happier. He was very responsive and will send all the updates to put you at comfort while your pet is in care of him! Highly recommend to book his services you won't be sorry. ?”

“What a fabulous family! It made my travel so much less stressful knowing she was in such a safe and caring place. Thanks so much to Jennifer & Robert and their daughter and son... oh and Murphy too!”

“We have sent our pup to Natalie many times now and she is consistently fantastic! She keeps us up to date with pictures and our dog always comes home happy. I would continue to recommend Natalie to anyone in need of dog sitting.”


“Omg! I don’t know where to start… Karen was amazing from the start of us booking her. Quick response and met with us ASAP. She always responded to my questions and wanted to really know about Mylo. My Mylo don’t do well with others besides a few. I had this feeling he would be great with her because of her first impressions and conversation. He will be back and we found a new sitter and family member for him. I highly recommend her. She is amazing!!!!! ?”


“Teah and Eric are hands down, the best pet sitters, ever. Teah is always involved with my dogs. Keke and Teddy are so happy when I leave them there. The videos and pictures show them enjoying themselves. When you leave your dogs with Teah they are treated like gold.”

“I've used Tasia multiple times for Ava and this time she watched Willa. Ava and Willa are VERY different and she did an amazing job. She sends pictures and videos often and puts me at ease with how my babies are doing. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”

“Our dog Bratwurst always has a great time with Amir! Would highly recommend Amir to any other dog owners! Amir is always communicative and thoughtful anytime we book a stay with him.”

“I knew that my little girl was in good hands as soon as I met her and the rest of the family. Chrissy text me daily and sent pictures of my dog interacting with her family.I would highly recommend her!”

Carthage dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time boarding our 2 year old goldendoodle. So I was a bit nervous. We did a meet/greet after which a felt less anxious. Our girl seemed to take to Jenna right away. Communication was good and reassuring that our girl was happy. I feel confident in booking another stay with Jenna. Much thanks!

Eric exceeded my expectations. I was nervous about leaving my pups for 2 weeks, but immediately felt comfortable when we met Eric. He took good care of them and showed them the affection they needed. When I picked them up, my 2 dogs were happy to see me but not hyper like they couldn’t wait to leave Eric. I think they had a good time. An all round great experience. Would recommend.

Siri was so amazing with my dog, Rooster (Roo)! She treated her just like her own and sent so many adorable pictures of them playing, snuggling, and running errands. She was also happy to keep Roo for an additional day when my flight was unexpectedly cancelled. I am so relieved to have found a wonderful local sitter and cannot recommend her enough!!

Grace (Mary) did an amazing job watching our dog over the weekend. She provided updates multiple times a day and took great pictures that let us know our dog was happy and having a great time. She was very responsive, took lots of walks, and overall took great care of our dog! Will definitely use Grace again next time we are out of town. Couldn’t recommend Grace enough.

Sally was an absolute godsend for my precious pup. It was clear through communication/updates, pictures, and videos during my girl’s stay that she was showered in love and nothing but the best care. It was even clearer how much Sally loved on my girl when I picked her up, as she was not overly excited to come home. Thank you, Sally, for loving on my girl, and taking such great care of her! Honey Mae looks forward to her next stay with you!
