“Barbara took such good care of my very senior girl, Rosey. She was patient as they got to know each other and as Rosey got used to new surroundings and routines. Not easy for an old pup. Highly recommend! Thank you!!”


“Melanie did a great job of taking care of our cat, Pickles, while we were on a trip. She had a room dedicated to her, which was great because she is very shy. We also received regular photo updates. We would definitely use them again!”


“This was Odin's first time away from both his humans, and we could not have asked for a better dog-sitter duo than Mandy and Bowie! Based on the pictures and videos Mandy sent us, Odin had a blast! He slept for a solid 16 hours after he got home :)”


“Leanne was great with our dog! We received lots of pictures and updates on how things were going. Our dog had slight separation anxiety but Leanne took him on a walk to help calm him. Leanne is a great host, super responsive, and we’d love to have our pup stay with her again!”


“James has a great outdoor space for the dogs! They sent updates of my dog running around with their other dogs! My dog had a lot of fun and was exhausted his first day home!”


“Raegan took such good care of our dog, sending pics and notes throughout his stay. She accommodated our last minute request and was kindly flexible with our unplanned & unavoidable changes in dropoff and pick up times. Thank you so much, Raegan! We will not hesitate to have our dog stay with you again!”


“Linus enjoyed his overnight with Daniela and her 2 dogs. She is caring and calm and that works well for him. It’s nice to find a sitter that only accepts small dogs. We have 2 more stays booked with Daniela. We highly recommend her.”



“Jennifer was SO helpful and kind to watch my boy for a last minute emergency trip home. She made me feel so comfortable with my baby staying with her and it helped me so much knowing how good he was cared for and that he was able to get all the love and comfort while I was gone. ❤️”


“Jamie has watched Honey over night a few times now, she is absolutely wonderful with her and truly has a warming heart for animals. She is great with updating me throughout honey’s stay during the evening while I am at work, and will send me pictures. She has a big yard for dogs to run and play, and its fenced and gated. Jamie is so kind, I give her 5 stars, and I 100% recommend her to watch over your fur babies.”


“She deserves all the stars. Desiree and her husband welcomed me and my pup into their home. Took us out in the back yard, let me make sure Zeus was good to go. She sent me pictures and videos throughout the boarding. Waked Zeus. I could tell she treated him like one of her own. I highly reccomed Desiree!”


“Tiffany is great with Pickles and clearly LOVES dogs! He was so happy staying in her home and was so happy both times I picked him up after staying! Thank you, Tiffany, for your loving care for my dog.”

“Cooper was relaxed and happy while staying with Bobbi and her family. They treated him like their own dog and made him comfortable in their home. I would definitely use them again when needed. They are close to I-5 which made convenient drop off and pick up.”


“Margaret recently watched our pup Reece and was fantastic!! Reece is a special pup and needs extra care due to his diabetes. He takes insulin 2x daily and although Margaret hadn't done so before, she was open to learning the process and took great care of Reece. He was happy & healthy the duration of his visit (6 days) and we received many updates. We found a great dogsitter in Margaret!!”


“Great first Rover experience thanks to Mike. He was flexible with our schedule, great at communication and our dog did not want to leave his stay! We will be rebooking in the future.”
