1. Rachel S.

“Rachel and her family are great people and they took very good care of our senior lab. Rachel took the time to meet with us to get to know our pup ahead of our boarding period in order to ensure they can provide a welcoming home. Rachel was so responsive throughout and was so easy to communicate with. I would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a kind and caring dog sitter.”

“Raheem is very kind person who really worked with our fur baby Max on such short notice.He is very flexible and super accommodating.Max seemed to really enjoy his stay while we were away. We can’t wait to use him next time!”


3. Yvette T.


“Yvette is hands down the most loving dog boarder by a mile. Elvis is always happy there - be at long stay or short one. We are always satisfied. She always sends us loads of updates and photos and videos and he comes home healthy and well looked after. Perfectly happy he’s very attached to her and you’re very thankful to Robert that we found her. She is a lifesaver. Cannot imagine how we would’ve done without her.”

“María is one of the sweetest young girls that I have met. I’m so happy to find her. Charlie has a lot of anxiety and doesn’t like to be away from home. With Maria I am able to go away.”


6. Isbath L.

“Isbath was great with my dog. Precious is highly skittish and tends to have a hard time adapting to new environments, but she was fantastic with Isbath. She ate, played, walked and had no problem sleeping through the night while in her care. I got numerous updates, pictures, and videos, of my dog being her relaxed and playful self. She always looked so happy and content. Would highly recommend Isbath and will most definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my little one!”




7. Alexis M.

“Alexis was great. I was in a rush to find a sitter, and she responded to my call for help almost immediately. Her updates were also prompt. Unfortunately my dog got a little sick after I left, and Alexis did a great job of watching over my dog, keeping me informed, and never complained. So much compassion working with my dog and me. Thank You, Alexis!”


8. Jessica F.


“We can’t say enough good things about Jessica. She cares for and loves our pups as much as we do and keeps us regularly updated with all details including daily photos and videos. They (and we) love her and are so grateful to have found her! Such peace of mind while we are away - absolutely priceless!”


9. Leslie R.


“I highly recommend Leslie! She was very attentive with my spoiled lil one. She gave me updates the entire time to update me that Luna was doing well. Her dog name is also Luna which made me feel like she was the perfect person to look after my lil one. I will definitely request Leslie for the future.”




10. Bertha C.

“After meeting Betha and her family before booking, I really felt comfortable leaving for my short weekend get away. I received daily pics from Bertha, and Laci really seemed to be enjoying herself with Bertha's two beautiful daughters. I will be booking with her again in two weeks for a 8 days stay. I TOTALLY recommend Bertha to take care of your paw-baby”


11. Na P.

“Na was amazing in taking care of my rescue dog who is generally very nervous and shy around strangers. She took the time to let him get to know her and gave him plenty of space to play and took him on many walks. The communication throughout was also top notch, I got so many pictures and updates, which made me feel at ease that he is happy and safe with her. At the end of the stay my dog was so comfortable that he wanted to go back into her house! Which says a lot! I’m sure both my dog and I will be happy to go back.”


12. Melanie S.

“Melanie was great with Bailey. She sent pictures and video and let us know how she was doing. We would definitely feel comfortable leaving Bailey there again.”


13. Lupe M.

“My wife and I so greatly appreciate Lupe's exceptional care of my 2 year old dog, Roopert (Roo) during my first Rover experience, which was an entire week! We are accustomed to leaving Roo with close family or friends, so I was initially apprehensive about Rover. However, Lupe's outstanding communication and daily updates, including plenty of photos and videos eased our worries. With Roopert weighing almost 70 lbs and bursting with energy, I truly appreciated Lupe's dedication to spending quality time playing with him, including fetch in his spacious, fully fenced yard, and just his overall competence as it pertained to dog behavior, and the needs associated. When I picked up Roopert this morning, he looked fantastic – clean, content, and absolutely joyful. Lupe's top-notch service and genuine care for our boy are so greatly appreciated. I wholeheartedly recommend Lupe to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving care for their furry friend. Thanks, Lupe!”


14. Jessica P.

“Alison did a great job with Oreo, great communication it was our first time being away from him, we met her a couple of days before on board Oreo and I instantly felt he was going to be in good hands. Thank you Alison for taking such a good care for my fur baby.”
