Lori was wonderful and so welcoming! Beau had a great stay with Lori and her pup, Rees :-). We received updates/photos while we were away and you could tell she treated Beau as one of her own. She even gave him a bath when he got muddy outside! Thanks again, Lori and Rees, for welcoming Beau!

Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.

We could not be more pleased with our experience using Marisa as a dog sitter! She was friendly and professional and clearly loves taking care of dogs. Her response time is always quick and she sent us daily pictures during Bear Bear's 5 night stay. Simply by seeing the pics we could tell that Bear was in good hands! We will be using Marisa again and again since we travel a lot. We highly recommend Marisa V!

Nat and her husband were an absolute pleasure to work with from booking to pick up. Having just moved to the area, I was worried about finding a sitter who would love my little guy during a 9-day vacation. We could not have asked for a better sitter. ❤️🐶

Chrissy did an amazing job caring for our puppy Rosie. She sent updates and pictures of Rosie playing with toys, doing zoomies in her house and generally being her spirited, lively self in Chrissy’s home. Chrissy’s fenced backyard was a bonus. She was so kind, thorough and responsible, we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Rosie with Chrissy. Highly recommend!!

Chelsea and Christopher took wonderful care of our pups Obi and Opal, we could leave them in their care and be rest assured they were safe and happy. They both have a very calm vibe which our pups need. lol. Our 1 year old Opal is definitely not chill and they didn’t make us feel bad about it which we appreciate. 😂 it was clear they loved their time and they look forward to their future booked stays with Chelsea and Christopher! Thank you both!

Sylva and Mark are some of the most kind and genuine people. We were very fortunate to have been able to leave our sweet girl with them for almost a week. She was very well cared for and loved on. We got pictures everyday which we loved. It was a huge relief to go on a trip and know that our dog was in good hands. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Thanks again!!

(I have a BullyMix) Jayla is great! Warm personality can see she is caring and my pup will be in great hands and he was!! This was my first time and my pups first of staying overnight and overall with someone he doesn't know. She shared pictures and updates and accommodated my delay in schedule. He seemed happy and at ease! Thank you will be booking again.

After a daycare, we had our pup with Gillian and her pups for a boarding. He absolutely loved being there. She really makes the experience feel like home, and so do her precious fur-babies. We were worry-free knowing ours was well-taken care of, and his needs for cuddles were met (more than expected)! We would definitely bring him to Gillian again. Thanks for an amazing stay!

Margaret was amazing with Hershey and Mosby! We had complete trust that she'd be a good fit for watching our boys after doing a meet-and-greet with her and Luna, and after her weekend of watching them, she somehow exceeded our expectations! We loved receiving all of the picture and video updates and knew they were in good hands with Margaret. Thanks again!

This was Rosie’s second time stay and she once again had a great time! She looked like she was having a ton of fun in running around in the backyard from all of the regular photo updates provided during her stay!

Chelsea and Christopher are absolutely amazing. Our regular boarding facility closed and we were in search of a caring and loving place to leave our 11 year old Goldendoodle. I did a meet and greet and knew this was the place for us. 3 weeks before our vacation our girl tore her acl and needed some extra care. They were onboard to continue to take her as they have so experience with this sort of thing. We got updates and photos everyday letting us know how she was doing. We could tell she was being loved and cared for. We will definitely be booking with them again!!!

This was my first time using Rover, and I really lucked out! Kristine and Bob were, in a word, awesome!! They were very gracious, have a very nice home, and my golden retriever took to them (and their own dog) immediately!! Kristine sent me lots of pictures of my dog while I was away, and gave me updates on how he was doing! My "buddy" had a great time and was SO well cared for!! I plan on using them next time I need boarding for him: I would highly recommend them!!

Korinne absolutely couldn’t have been a better caretaker for my pup. She stayed in close contact with me throughout my trip and sent plenty of pics and videos so I could be sure that my doggie was having an amazing time over there (probably even more fun than she has at home!). Korinne has a really comfortable space with a luxurious backyard and I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough!
