Flights got messed up. Doyle and Mike graciously took care of our little one for an extra night, and it was such a relief to not worry about hunter while we dealt with everything else.

We had the most pleasant experience! This was our first time ever using Rover, and they made it such a positive one. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were receiving lots of love and attention! We honestly felt like they were being spoiled the entire time! They truly went above and beyond for our pups and treated them as if they were their own. Their care, communication, and kindness made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and would absolutely trust them with our dogs again. ❤️🐾

Melody was great with Bucky! She was very flexor with our schedule and helped watch my dog while traveling for the holidays. Extremely friendly. Would let he watch Bucky anytime.

5 star household! Our old man was so tired from all the play time. They provided great photos and updates and showed concern when he had a bit of bleeding from tug of war. Knowing they pay attention to details gave us additional peace of mind.

Alexis did an amazing job watching my doggo for me over the weekend while I was out of town! She sent multiple updates daily which included pictures of my dog having a great time:) I never had any doubts as to his safety and wellbeing. If you need your dog boarded I cannot recommend Alexis enough!

About: I’ve had a dog in the home for almost my entire life, and got my first on my own during Covid to have a friend around 😊 My second dog moved in two years ago. I work full-time from home, so, other than leaving once a day for working out at the gym, my schedule is flexible to fit around your pet’s needs. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who love to play. I allow dogs on the furniture and have a gate to prevent them from getting downstairs. My neighborhood is quiet and great for walks.

Millie loved her stay at Robert’s house! It was my first time leaving her for two weeks so I was nervous, but Robert checked in daily with updates and photos. Millie loved his backyard and their daily walks/ runs. Definitely plan to use Robert again in the future!

We’d never done private personal dog care before and we were blessed to have Bethany be our first sitter. Bethany was very attentive as if Jax was her own dog. Staying with Bethany and her family seemed to keep Jax calm and relaxed. We will ask for Bethany again.

Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.

Allyson was amazing. I loved the fact she had a fenced in backyard for goose to run wild. My guy is a little hyper and humper lol, but they took it all in stride. I will definitely be using Allyson and her loving pet friendly home. She is so nice and caring a total genuine person.

Bailey was very good with Oakley - a very large but "old" dog. She had her best interests in mind the whole time and just let Oakley be herself. Very friendly, accommodating, and immediately communicative at all phases of booking, the stay, and the pick up
