Our Mimi had her first overnight with April. Everything went great. April even constructed a ramp so Mimi could go up and down the bed without jumping. She is still in-coordinated after spinal cord surgery. This was meant to be a rehearsal before a 2-week boarding at the end of the month. We are so happy to know Mimi will be in good hands.

Sunday has been through a lot of difficult changes recently—a move, the loss of her doggy best friend and just normal growing up. Sunday is a sweet girl but can be high energy, anxious and a little mischievous. Megan and Jenny handled Sunday like absolute pros. Sunday was entertained with walks and lots of play time in their sweet house/yard. Jenny + Megan are responsible, reliant, and absolutely in love with their dog friends, not to mention flexible and easy-going—they treated Sunday like their own and I feel so thankful to have found such loving people to look after my girl. From the very first interaction they have been so responsive and accommodating! I hope to rebook them again soon, just so Sunday can get her fix!

Lee was absolutely amazing! We boarded our two pups for the first time ever and they’re not always the most friendly with other dogs, but it all went great and they had the time of their lives! Lee sent tons of photos to keep us updated. 10/10 recommend, we will definitely drop our pups off at hers again 😊

My dog loves Albina. She has watched Izzy many times. They are the bestest of friends. I always feel so comfortable leaving Izzy with Albina. She is clearly a dog person, knows what she's doing and can connect deeply with Izzy. Such a godsent to be able to have someone I can always rely on with my dog. Thanks again Albina! Until next time. Izzy can't wait to see you again ❤️

We have a big rescue dog, Lupin, who is nervous around new people and leash reactive/frustrated because he wants to play with every dog he sees, and Karen was fantastic with him. It was very clear at our meet and greet at the park that she knew how to deal with such issues, and knew a lot about dogs and their behavoir. We did a one night trial run to get lupin used to them for longer boarding and they were very kind to him - we have already booked 2 more trips. At our meet and greet, her lovely pup was a marvelous calming influence on our 2 yr old.

Jennifer took great care of my 6 year old dachshund, Winston while I was on vacation for a week. He can be a bit of an anxious boy so I really appreciated all the updates and photos she sent. She had a good handful of other dogs there, but sounds like she did a great job to make sure everyone got along and was comfy!

I can’t recommend Jeff & Beth enough! They provided such a wonderful experience for my two dogs. Their spacious and secure backyard was a dream come true—plenty of room for my pups to run, play, and burn off energy. It’s clear that they genuinely love animals and made sure my dogs felt at home while I was away. I loved getting updates with photos of my happy, tired pups enjoying themselves. Knowing they were in a safe, loving environment gave me such peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone to care for your dog(s), they are the ones to call!

Zero really enjoyed hanging out with Alex and Wally during his stay with them! Alex was really responsive the entire process from initial conversations, scheduling the meet and greet, pickup/dropoff, and during the stay itself, and provided a lot of really cute pictures of Zero clearly having the best time with them. Alex was very thorough in understanding Zero's needs, and it was clear that she had a lot of tools, tricks (up her sleeve and also teaching one to Zero!), and experience to manage not just Zero and his high puppy energy, but clearly all varieties of dogs and their personalities and quirks. This also comes with a good mentality, appreciation, humor, and understanding towards dogs, and that translates into a wonderful caretaker for your pup. When a small hiccup happened, she told us what happened, how she took care of it, and how Zero reacted as well. Will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you Alex!

Melina was our first Rover experience and she made the process so welcoming. We'd never left our dog overnight with someone he didn't know – he's anxious, reactive and has separation anxiety, so it was important to us that we worked with with someone who understands and is patient with him. Melina was all of that and more! Within hours she had him snuggling up to her, and by the evening he was sleeping curled up next to her head. We got regular updates throughout the stay (including pictures) and felt so at-ease knowing he was well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Melina as a Rover, and especially for anyone with a special needs dog or a shy pup. She was amazing!

Maya (Anchisa) was an exceptional sitter for our furry son. We took a 5 day family vacation and she watched our 17 lb dog. Maya sent multiple updates every day and seemed to like taking as many photos and videos of our little guy as we do! We feel very comfortable trusting Maya with our dog.

Jurre and Ellie were awesome. They sent terrific notes and photos about how our pup was doing. They accommodated our dog's anxiety around cars and urban environments by taking her to dog parks and trail hikes. Really wonderful caretakers.

Donald did a great job watching my senior pup, Kitsen, who doesn’t always take to everyone. She is usually shy around new people, but took to Donald’s gentle and calm energy immediately. Donald was extremely responsive, from my first initial inquiry and throughout Kitsen’s stay at his house. I received multiple photos and updates, and felt reassured that Donald was showering Kitsen with loving attention while I was in the middle of a move. I would highly recommend Donald and will be reaching out again next time I need a sitter. Thanks again Donald!

Grace was an absolutely wonderful sitter for my dog, Willie! She went above and beyond to make sure he had a great stay, taking him on beautiful hikes and playing with him in the yard. She kept me updated with photos throughout Willie’s entire visit, and Willie was definitely sad to leave. I highly recommend Grace as a very caring, responsive, and trustworthy dog-sitter!

Vanclee took great care of my big goofy Labrador! He welcomed Jett outside, sent an update, and shared photos of Jett out on a hike, hanging out on the grass at the park with his dog, and enjoying the sun next to the windows along with a summary of their time together. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks Vanclee!

Todd was great with Hiro, my Shiba Inu. Hiro does not like other dogs so I am always nervous leaving him with sitters. Todd provided expert care, regular updates and my dog was really happy staying with him.

Emily took great care of Rogue - especially over the July 4th holiday weekend (aka fireworks)! She went out of her way to make my pup feel comfortable despite the loud noises. I really appreciated the extra effort and Rogue appeared to have a great time.

Julie and Ankit were great! They were easy to communicate with, flexible, and took great care of my dog. They even gave her pumpkin when she had diarrhea which was very caring and sweet! I’d send Zola back to them any time!

I left my French bulldog, Saint, with Nemo while I was away for my sister’s wedding, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the care he provided. Saint can be a reactive pup, but Nemo was incredibly intentional, patient, attentive, and clearly experienced. I highly recommend Nemo to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about the dogs he boards.

Alexis was wonderful with our dog Waffle! Waffle stayed over the 4th of July weekend, and fireworks make her anxious, but Alexis was so kind and patient with her. Alexis sent lots of photos and updates, which was great. We'd gladly have her watch Waffle again!
