“I had to board my cat last minute due to my apartment flooding and Morgan was incredible! She has a great vibe and had a whole set of for Juniper when she got there.

“Aaren & Jordon were the absolute best!! Our pup is a nervous / shy girlie, but she warmed up to them about immediately!! ❤️ She stayed for a long weekend while we were out of town. Aaren sent us photos and updates the whole time, and went above and beyond taking our girlie on runs / walks all around town!! She has been so sleepy ever since she got home and can tell she had the best time!! Will absolutely be using Aaren and Jordon for all of our upcoming trips. Can’t thank you enough! ❤️❤️”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
“Amy has now watched our chocolate lab twice, this time for an entire week. She did a great job watching her and provided us with many great photos through out the week to keep us in the loop. It was obvious our dog had a great time since she's been sleeping most of the time since we picked her up two days ago!”
“Nicole is absolutely amazing at handling my dogs even when they’re nervous about being in a new environment and being around other dogs. She always takes great care of them and sends update pictures and videos on her own initiative! She’s my go-to and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“We were worried chewy wouldn’t want to come home! Ava and Ross are definitely dog whisperers. He had a great time and they sent lots of good photos. We felt he was in safe hands.”
“Sarah was great! She took extra efforts to learn insulin administration to take care of our kitty while we were away. She gave regular updates and sent pictures while Lilah was there. I highly recommend Sarah for your pet sitting needs!”
“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”

We had a great experience as always, this time having left our older pup for nearly a week, the longest time we’ve boarded her so far. Matt had made a path in his yard so she and the other dogs could walk without slipping on the ice, which I know she appreciated. And we always appreciate the twice-a-day updates with pics!
Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a loving place for their dogs. We used the boarding services and had a peace of mind knowing our dog was taken care of. She communicated very much and sent plenty of photos and videos while we were away. Our dog even met some new furry friends.
Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!
Evie was understanding when we had to cut our trip short, shortening the boarding time needed. She was flexible as I notified her on a daily basis that we would not be starting that day. When we dropped Brady off, we were happy to see that Evie lives in a well kept house in a safe neighborhood. She took really good care of Brady, giving him daily supplements, feeding him twice a day and taking him out for walks and plenty of bathroom breaks. Brady even got along with her friendly dog, named Cupid. She shared photos and a video of them playing. She's among the best boarders we've had on Rover.
Miguel and his wife were perfect hosts for Lucha. I got plenty of pictures, videos, and general updates on how she was doing. She had such a fantastic time with their two dogs and they both clearly understand dog behavior very well and know when to step in if necessary. She seemed very comfortable there and when she got home she immediately fell asleep so clearly she had a lot of fun - will ABSOLUTELY book with them again
Alanya and her pup aurora were awesome. My rotty Sasha boarded with them for a few days while my wife and I were away. We are new to the area and needed a new sitter that we could trust and they did not disappoint. She did an awesome job at caring for Sasha. Constantly updating us with pictures and even a little training to help us out when she returned to us. I definitely recommend Alanya if you need any help with your pup at any point.
I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.
