1. Carla G.
“Very wonderful sitter. Was very detailed and consistent in her updates. Lots of pictures. Lives active so kept my dog Briggs happy and exercised! Was very transparent and gave Briggs earned treats but also made sure to ask prior, which I very much appreciated. Highly recommended!”
2. Christy G.
“This was the first time we have used Christy for sitting our dog in her house (or boarded our dog anywhere besides a boarding facility). Our puppy had a wonderful time at Christie's house and really enjoyed all the activity and playing in her backyard! We will most definitely use her again! Christy is very nice to work with and keeps us posted on what our puppy was doing at least once a day and sent pictures. We are so grateful to find a nice place that we can depend on and we know are puppy is happy and content at.”
3. Sarah & Michael G.
“Sarah and Michael are so accommodating and flexible with pick up and drop off times. They really make things so simple. From the notes and pictures we get our Greta, it’s never a surprise when she is tired. She loves the open spaces, all the play time with the other pups. We’ll look for Greta to stay with Sarah and Michael anytime we have to leave our pup behind.”
4. Erika Leigh & Erik R.
“Obi was very happy there and they were great communicators during the whole process! They also sent lots of pictures so I could see obi while I was away!”
5. Matt & Candice W.
“We’ve found our perfect home away from home for Kirby Jane! She didn’t even want to come with me bc she loves it so much there! We can’t say enough kind things about Matt and Candace! They are great!”
6. Melissa B.
“Melissa was an excellent sitter for our teacup chihuahua. He is 16, blind and hard of hearing which required a little extra precaution. Her nursing background definitely put us at ease. She sent pictures to us while we were out of the country and let ys know how he was doing. She took him for walks in a doggy stroller and gave him lots of love. She also administered his meds. I would highly recommend Melissa to care for your fur baby! We will absolutely use her services again. Thank you Melissa!”
7. Ivy W.
“My 2.Pomeranians. Chloe and Mia stayed overnight with Ivy. Ivy was very quick to respond to any questions that I had and also stayed in communication during the stay by sending pictures and updates! She and her son, along with her Dog Basil and kitties, helped my dogs feel right at home. She immediately set my mind at ease by letting me know that my dogs were settling in and getting comfortable there. Ivy did a wonderful job and I definitely hope to book with her again in the future! Highly recommended! Thank you for taking great care of my girls!”
8. Elexis M.
“This sitter is one of the kindest people I've ever met. My dogs are very happy there. My dogs misbehaved a bit and Lexi remained wonderful. I've contacted her last minute, and changed pick up and drop off times due to unforeseen events- Yes, this sitter says no problem, always has a solution- immediate responses and seems to truly love my dogs. Will always be a repeat client- if she'll have us back. Thank you Lexi!”
9. Daniel S.
“Daniel was great with my two rat terriers. Kept me updated on how they were doing with txt and pics. When I came to get my dogs they were the same way I left them. Not stressed at all and that was very comforting. Will book again.”
10. Jackie H.
“Lucy came back happy not like when we board her. It usually takes her a few days to adjust after we board her. I will definitely use Jackie again”
11. Rachel K.
“Rachel was great with our 6 year old Cavapoo! We appreciated her sending pictures throughout the weekend seeing how much fun she was having. When we picked up our dog at the end of the weekend, it was easy to see she was happy and well taken care of.”
12. Lavar & Amber M.
“Stella loves staying here! Once again, she had a great stay over the weekend. She was so excited when she got to their house. I love getting my pictures and updates from them. 🤗”
13. Kayla G.
“Great pictures and had fun with my pup”
14. Emmett T.
“This was our first Rover experience and we're so glad we chose Emmett. He was professional and caring through the process of a meet and greet, and then Scout's stay. His pets were wonderful and got along well with our dog. We highly recommend Emmett!”
15. Amanda J.
“Knox loved his stay with Amanda and family! He was excited to come home but also a little sad at leaving his new friends, Theo, Maple, and Smokey.”
16. Serenity M.
“Serenity was wonderful! Our sweet Molly girl seemed very well cared for during her stay and came home a happy dog. We will absolutely be booking with Serenity again.”
17. Tracy T.
“Henry loved Tracy and her family! He had a great time with her 2 little dogs too, they became buddies, and he made himself at home❤️ thank you Tracy for taking such good care of Henry and helping Us at such a short notice, a Blessing ❤️🙏”
18. Hehmi & Rob F.
“Hehmi & Rob were great! We felt totally comfortable leaving for our trip with them taking care of our dog. They treated him like family, really taking the time to tune in with his needs and how he was feeling. Foster had a blast and they kept us updated the whole time. I'm pretty sure he might like them more than us ?. He pouted for two full days after coming home. Would definitely book with them again!”
19. Vickie B.
“Great experience, easy scheduling and most important, our pup had a good time. Recommend and will be our first call next time we go out of town.”
20. Jennifer & Michael W.
“Max stayed for over 2wks with Jennifer and Michael. They sent me pictures regularly and Max came back with as much energy as he was dropped off with…so I know he was played with plenty. It was great getting pictures of him with all the other dogs. He’s normally the only dog at home, so I know he loved playing with the other dogs while he was there. It was great to see him pulled in as part of their family while we were gone.”
