1. Lauren & Michael H.
“Lauren and Michael were wonderful! They watched Ringo over our wedding weekend, and we felt so comfortable with them. They sent pictures and he looked so happy, they tolerated his many kisses, and let us come over the week before to meet them. Will definitely use them again, Ringo had a blast!”
2. Lydia M.
“Lydia was fantastic! She is very warm and welcoming and took great care of our 2 little Morkies. This was our first time boarding our dogs and Lydia sent lots of pictures and showed us how well they all were doing. It was very much appreciated and we will definitely book with her again!”
3. Marie & Marlon C.
“This was the first time our youngest dog has been away from us and even though he seemed a little anxious when we left, Marie, Marlon, and their 2 dogs helped him settle in great. They took him on a lot of walks and kept us updated regularly. It seemed like he didnt want to leave. As we drove away he looked out the back window towards their house for a block. We will definitely book with them again.”
4. Timmothy F.
“Timmothy was great with Marcie - it was her first time staying without us at someone else's house and she came home happy and tired. His three dogs are very polite and well-behaved.”

6. Kyle T.
“Did a great job with our dog, gave regular updates of how things were going, and sent pictures. Kyle was also quick and responsive with questions and communication. Overall, great stay for our dog!”
7. Alyson Z.
“I really just want to say that Alyson and her family are AMAZING with my dog. I own a big mastiff. I have left him there for 10+ days at a time, and he always comes back happy (and I think cleaner - he is getting secret baths there I believe or at least smells good when he gets back). She has a back yard and there are always other dogs there for him to play with. I have used her services twice now and will continue to! THANKS ALYSON!!”
8. Krista L.
“Our two miniature schnoodles (15 1/2 and 2 1/2) had a fabulous time at Krista's home. Every photo and video showed them romping or exploring in the backyard with other dogs or snuggling/sleeping with her boys or their new-found doggie friends. Tilly and Flynn's.stay was literally doggy heaven! Krista did a great job feeding our finicky duo and was happy to administer Tilly's eye medication. She provided a loving and caring home away from home and provided many snapshots and videos of their stay so we could enjoy all the fun the doodles were having while we were on our family vacation. We will definitely book another stay with Krista and her boys!”
9. Lan C.
“Lan was an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time using Rover, and to be honest, my first time leaving my dog with anyone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a bit nervous. Lan was friendly and helpful and sent pictures of Zoey about an hour after I left which help put my mind at ease. Over all a really good experience.”
10. Kayla R.
“Kayla is such a loving cat parent and great communicator! She took care of my two cats, and helped them to be comfortable in a new place-and ME comfortable having them in a new place for the first time! She spent time getting to know them and loved them so well. I would book Kayla anytime!”

17. Doc C.
“This was our dog’s first stay with Doc and Heather and they are fantastic!! Our dog was there for one week and they made sure to send daily updates along with pictures with how she was doing. They have a huge backyard where the dogs spent the day if it was nice- which I know our dog loved! We have one pooped pup from her exciting week :) We will definitely be asking them to watch our dog in the future. Thanks, guys!!”
18. Taylor O.
“Our dog had a wonderful time with Taylor and her husband! Taylor sent daily photos of his playtime and nap time. This is the first time that we have used Rover and were impressed with how easy it was to find the right home for boarding while we were on vacation, with the “Meet and Greet “ being the best way to decide. We will definitely use Taylor again— she was flexible and clearly caring for our pup!”
19. Saniya P.
“Saniya and her family were great with Tille and incredibly informative about her stay while we were away. She got to go on walks, run around their big yard, and socialize with their dog Bungee. Highly recommend”
