“Carrie was absolutely amazing! Her babies got along so well with mine and she was very communicative and sent pictures consistently throughout the time he was there. We even left with a goody bag of homemade dog treats! Carrie and her family were 100000/10 and my boy will be back! Repeat customer for sure.”
“Deborah was absolutely amazing with my pups! I’m so happy that I found her! One of my pups has quite a few quirks and Deborah was so patient and kind with her 🥹 my pups were part of the family over the holiday, they loved our pups like their own! What a relief to find such a kind and caring sitter. Not only was she amazing with the dogs, she was also so patient with me having multiple travel delays. She is so sweet and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!”
“We loved Christy! She took wonderful care of Sadie and made me feel so comfortable leaving her. She sent regular updates, pictures, and videos, which I really appreciated! Already have another stay booked with her.”
“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!”
“Michael and Sarah were great with our pup! I was nervous because it had been years since we boarded our dog with other dogs. They reassured me if any problems came up I would be notified. Within a day of leaving her I received pics and even video of my dog. She now loves staying there and has been several times. Thank you all and so pleased we have a safe, fun place for Violet!”
“Emmett was super communicative and friendly! We absolutely adored the pictures he shared of our dog's stay! We will definitely be booking with Emmett again in the future!”

“Amazing family and amazing experience! My pup Kasey LOVED staying with their family. She came home very very tired from all the playing she did. 10/10 would recommend”

“Serenity did a wonderful job hosting our pup. She provided frequent updates with photos, and was very responsive to all communication. Would absolutely book with again!!”

“Lexi was excellent! She is very personable, friendly, and easy to communicate with. Our dog did not behave all that great and she took it in stride. She did a great job of keeping me in the loop and I knew that our dog was in good hands. I definitely recommend using her!!”
“Our Willow Bear's home away from home! Erika Leigh & Erik are amazing! We truly appreciate the regular updates and photos of our furry baby. We feel at ease knowing Willow is in great hands while we are away. I highly recommend this wonderful couple!”
“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.”
“Jamie took great care of our dog Rocky this week. She was kind enough to offer a meet and greet, and then was flexible to change the date when the weather wasn’t cooperating. Jamie sent daily updates with photos. Rocky enjoyed playing with Jamie’s dogs and her other boarding pups. She seemed to feel at home with Jamie and her family. We will definitely rebook with Jamie in the future.”
“Jackie was absolutely amazing with our baby. She treated him like a member of her family and I felt very comfortable leaving him. I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies. I know she will be my go to when I need a sitter.”

Columbia dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alex did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Morty, while we were away on vacation. From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. He made sure Morty was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, happy and comfortable in our absence. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos—it gave us peace of mind knowing Morty was in such good hands. It was obvious that he genuinely cared and treated Morty like his own. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog, which says everything. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Alex again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.
Shelby was wonderful to work with! She took Axel on daily walks and sent us lots of pictures and videos keeping up comforted that Axel was safe and happy while we were away. I will definitely use Shelby as our sitter again and highly recommend her to anyone else.
