“Jennifer is a sweet heart!! I was nervous leaving my cat behind while I was on a trip due to her circumstances. Jennifer updated me multiple times throughout the day and sent pictures each time. She treated my cat with absolute kindness as if it was her own. She is so sweet to speak to in general and you can definitely feel her warm energy. She is so welcoming.”
“Our puppy, Snowie, stayed with Sonja for 2 days, and we couldn’t be happier! She sent regular photo updates, made sure Snowie got plenty of playtime, and even kept up with his feeding schedule.

Columbia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Can’t say enough good things about Amy and Pete. My booking was very last minute because the person who was supposed to watch Izzy got sick and ended up in the hospital. Amy was more than happy to help. Izzy had a big back yard to play in and a warm bed to sleep in (which by the way, she was sleeping in when I went to pick her up). I was afraid she wouldn’t want to come home. I would have no hesitation to let Amy and Pete watch Izzy again.
This was our second time staying with Amy and Peter. It truly makes me feel good leaving our fur babies with them. When I drop them off I know that they’re going to receive an abundance of love, playtime and socialization. Amy and Peter will be our go-to as long as they’re available.
