“Jen was amazing! My dogs were so happy when we picked them up, you could tell they were very well taken care of and they were in a relaxed and loving environment. Jen truly loves dogs and her outdoor space is perfect for the pups! We got pics showing how our pups were doing and she was a great communicator. We will definitely use her again!”
“I can't say enough good things about this young Lady and her care for my lil buddy Biggie. She sent photos of him interacting with her dogs in the yard. It really put me at ease. Thank you Jenny”
“Marie was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Kobe, while we were away for about a week. From the start her communication was superb. She was patient and understanding throughout the booking process. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear how much she cared for him. She brushed him, played with him, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Kobe came home well taken care of and loved, just like he would be at home. Marie is trustworthy, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond. We’re so grateful for her and would not hesitate to have her watch Kobe again. Highly recommend!”
“Tera was really good with Foxy, I could tell she felt safe and cared about. She also loved the HUGE fenced yard to run in. I highly recommend Tera, she is really good with dogs (and people)! I will certainly book the Doggie B&B again!”
“I really appreciate Kara boarding my pups at the last minute for the holidays. Kara took really good care of my pups. Kara kept me updated with lots of pics to keep me updated with what was going on in their day. The best part they provided transportation to and from my home.”
“Myra was so great! She sent us pictures of our puppy everyday we were gone and took such great care of him. If you are looking for a wonderful, safe, happy home for your dog when you are out of town Myra is perfect!!!!!”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“Our two pups loved staying at Emily’s and playing with all the other dogs. Emily give us an update every morning on how they were doing and was very attentive. We will definitely go with Emily in the future!”
“Candace is wonderful! It was obvious she has an affection for dogs as soon as we, and our Boston, met her. She has lots of room for running and playing. She sent pictures several times showing how comfortable Pru was at her home. She took great care of her "houseguest". I have no reservations about recommending her, and we will definitely use her again when we are in the area.”
“We were pleased with Kari & Joey watching our fur baby Mila. This was our first time using them and we look forward toward using them frequently. Mila enjoyed the family, especially being around the kids. Kari is a natural loving dog sitter, very personable while making sure you feel good leaving your pet in her care. Our fur baby, Mila enjoyed staying with Kari& Joey.”
“I can tell my dogs felt loved and comfortable at Brooke’s house. The house has a securely fenced-in yard. Brooke kept me updated and reassured me that my sensitive dog Jazzy was not feeling abandoned.”
“This was my first time leaving Chewie with someone that we didn’t know. Theresa made us both comfortable about my decision and Chewie had a great time. She is our new sitter and will definitely see her again.”
“I have been using Rover.com for 3 years and Sandee has exceeded our expectations as a care giver. I love that she only took one dog at a time. We felt our dog was well cared for and loved as we would. She was very accommodating when we needed to change our day. She will be the first we ask for, the next time we need a sitter.”
“Kahjae was a great choice for watching Koda. He accepted my request at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. My Koda was a little naughty in his care and Kahjae graciously communicated and handled the situation and even continued caring for Koda 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽”
“Stacey boarded our dog for 2 weeks. She sent multiple photos & videos every day. This kept us reassured that he was happy & well cared for. She has a dog also that our little guy just loved. It takes your vacation to a whole new level when you know your fur baby is safe & well cared for. Thank you so much Stacey!!”

It was such a blessing in finding Myra on Rover. I was so worried since I had never left my baby anyone before. She treated him like her family and sent several messages and pictures and video through out his week stay. Once I saw how happy he was, I no longer worried. She really put my mind at ease and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation without worry. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. She's the best.
I can’t say enough good things about our experience! We needed last-minute boarding for our very high-energy Malinois so we could take a family vacation, and she came through within 24 hours’ notice. From the very start, the whole process was effortless — drop-off and pickup couldn’t have been easier. What gave me the most comfort was knowing our dog was in such capable hands. She sent frequent updates and plenty of pictures, which made it clear he was happy, cared for, and burning off all that energy. Having a Malinois can be tough since they’re not always the easiest breed to keep up with, but she handled him like a pro. I felt completely at ease while we were away, and that peace of mind is priceless. Truly an amazing experience — thank you again for taking such wonderful care of him! Highly recommend and I am simply praying she is available next summer for our family’s annual week at the beach 😂❤️
