Lawrencia and her dog, Duke, made sure our dog, Mina, had a great time while we were out of town for the night! This was our first time using Rover over a traditional boarding facility, and I don't think we'll ever go back. This was way more personal, and Mina loved making a new friend who matches her high energy level! They were great and we plan to use them again this weekend! Thanks for taking great care of our girl!

Thanks for taking such great care of our pups. We love your updates. The pictures are wonderful when we’re missing them. We never worry about them. They are in excellent hands. With a fenced in yard and other pups to play with they have a great time. Thanks for your enthusiasm and love for our dogs. I can tell you love caring for fur babies! ❤️

I recently had the opportunity to use Marianna for my pet, and I am pleased to share my experience with fellow pet owners seeking a reliable and caring service for their dogs. From the initial contact to the final pickup, my experience with Marianna was nothing short of exceptional. Her genuine affection for my girls was evident in their interactions. Mari was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, communicated regularly with updates and photos, which eased my mind while I was away. Our girls returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for, which speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianna to anyone in need of dog-sitting services. Her commitment to providing the highest level of care, coupled with her compassion, makes Marianna a top choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.

Rachel was an absolutely amazing caretaker when boarding my two dogs during a week long vacation. I can not recommend her enough. She was loving, caring, and treated my dogs like they were her own. Her two dogs are the sweetest and were extremely welcoming of my dogs into their home. Rachel gave plenty of updates and really made me feel safe knowing my dogs were under her care during my trip.

Rachel recently watched my golden retriever puppy, and she was wonderful with her!! She is a true dog mom at heart - attentive, caring and responsible when watching my dog. I can always count on her to be on top of babysitting, even with the chaos that can ensue with a puppy. I would recommend her as a dog caregiver to anyone!

Megan made sure my puppy was extremely comfortable and I was at ease when I unexpectedly traveled with him last minute. He very tired from all the playtime when I picked him up both days, and excited to go back the second day which was great to see. Thank you!

This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!
