“Robin was amazing!! She took such good care of my baby while I was away for Christmas and made sure my baby felt the holiday spirit. Highly recommend booking with her!”


“We are so so lucky to have found Liz and Jeff for our sweet boy, Murphy!! This family was amazing and took in Murphy as if he was one of their own. From our initial meet and greet to picking up Murphy after his stay, every moment was seamlessly easy. This wonderful family welcomed us all with open arms and spoiled our boy with all the belly rubs, playtime, and continuous love. This was our first time leaving our sweet boy, but we truly felt at ease and comfort knowing this family was taking care of him. Murphy had so much fun that even after 4 days, he’s still exhausted! The joke is, “he needs a vacation from his vacation!” Thank you again, Liz and Jeff, for really loving and adoring our Murphy. The pictures, videos, and frequent updates, made my husband and I smile from ear to ear. This family is special!! We highly recommend this family to watch your fur baby, knowing that they’ll be treated with so much love and care…we know Murphy was. ❤️❤️”


“Kelly was amazing! She took such good care of my dog and kept him entertained and active the entire time. You can tell she is an animal lover and really treats your pet like part of her family. My dog was sad to leave! Loved the frequent photos and updates as well. Highly recommend.”


“Nando always enjoys staying with Margaret. He is relaxed and comfortable at her place and it makes our vacation more enjoyable knowing he is well looked after. Can't say enough positive things about Margaret!”


“This was our first time boarding Addie our month old miniature poodle. Jenna was great, friendly and detailed on how she cares for pets. She offered to do a meet and greet which was great. It's a family home and the family is involved in the care. Her son played with Addie while we talked - Addie lived him. We boarded her for 2 nights. Received pictures and Addie was set fo hime when I arrived for pick up.”


“Stacy is so kind and friendly. Our girls seemed like they had a blast at her place! During their stay, Stacy followed our instructions and sent a lot of updates. We’re going to book again with her this summer when we go on a trip, definitely recommend!”


“Deivy and his family were just amazing!! They loved our fur babies so much while we were gone and gave them lots of attention, belly rubs and walks. He kept me informed and sent my updates with pictures while away. It made taking a vacation that much more relaxing knowing the babies were taken care of.”


“So glad Jessica was able to take care of our Peri. It was a quick turn around and she came to the rescue. I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates of her. She followed directions and hope she’s available for me next time in need.”


“This was my first time booking with Claudia and it was a great experience. My puppy came back relaxed and happy. My dog has anxiety and leaving her for 10 days can be a challenge, but everything went smoothly. Claudia went out of her way to make some healthy treats for my puppy and she loved them. Due to weather, my trip had to be extended and Claudia was super flexible in helping me out. Normally I’m nervous leaving my dog, but a few days into vacation I knew my puppy was at a great place. I will definitely be booking again with her. You will be so happy leaving your puppy with her.”


“Roberto and his wonderful family have watched Rhythm twice. Both times they were available last minute. They were able to pick up and drop off and updates were provided with pictures and video. Highly recommend booking with Roberto.”


“Elisha watched our dog, Lola, for the first time. Elisha took excellent care of Lola for the 3 days she was there. She kept us posted on how Lola was doing, as well as sending pics. Elisha is organized very good about noticing if anything was wrong with Lola. We highly recommend Elisha and would definitely use her again.”


“Saren is amazing! She sent videos and pictures everyday while we were gone and she is extremely friendly and welcoming. You can tell that she really cares for the fur babies that come her way. I don’t think our dog wanted to come back home after all the fun he had with Saren! ?”


“Lauren took the beat care of our needy pups! Her dog was the perfect playmate. We appreciate everything she did for our pups while we were away. Highly recommend her if you are going away and need doggie care. Thank you Lauren!”


“We had an amazing experience boarding our two dogs, Kali and Yoda, through the Rover app. They had a fun and playful weekend, and Anand did a fantastic job taking care of them. He kept us updated with pictures and shared funny moments of what they were up to, which we absolutely loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. We’re very happy with the service and will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”


“Olivia was a wonderful sitter who was easy to communicate with and patient with my puppy. Took him to the park for walks and seemed to treat him with great care! Would 10/10 recommend!”
