This was our first experience using Rover, and Sarah made it easy! She was very thorough and made sure to provide frequent updates and pictures. Winston seemed to have a great time! Would definitely use again.

Tim took very good care of my German Shepherd. He sent periodic updates and was very responsive. Next time I need a sitter, he will be the first one I ask.

Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!

Tami is incredible!! This is my first time leaving my puppy and I was really nervous. We did a meet and greet, talked through his care and had him meet the other dogs. She took great care of Haze and sent updates throughout the weekend (which I loved). He couldn’t have been in better hands. 10/10 recommend and will be using her in the future.

Leah did a fantastic job all around. She was very warm and responsive when I first booked my appointment. Met Sam and I outside so he could get to know her. Let me in so I could see how he'd be staying and meet her dog. She answered all my questions and sent messages and photos during his stay. I highly recommend booking with her, and will do so again myself in the future. :)

Vivian was amazing with my puppy Rocky! She took care of him like he was her own and kept me updated daily. She has a puppy herself, so she was very prepared and educated on dog watching, the peace of mind was everything to me. Rocky was so sad to leave her and her puppy, we will be using her again when we need a sitter. Thank you Vivian!

We had a great experience leaving our Aussidoodle, Willie, with Cynthia and her sweet lab, Luna. I received numerous pictures and was happy to know Willie had a very large, fenced in yard for roaming and exercise. Cynthia treated Willie like her own and gave positive feedback about his stay. I won't hesitate to request Cynthia for future boarding.

About: I have 10+ years of experience with animals. Growing up by a dirt road in Alabama ,I always made sure to care for and find homes for them while also having our own, I’ve taken college corses on training dogs although didn’t finish due to becoming a mother. We have a large backyard fenced, covered& partly enclosed patio & love to give. Animals are truly a wonderful being to have around and I want to teach my children the importance of them. I’ve watched big dogs & small dogs although starting off with this app I’m looking to watch small dogs. I take my oldest son to library, we can spend anywhere between 1-4 hours there & I pick up my youngest from his program at 3pm (right down the road) other than weekly/biweekly grocery/shopping trips, I’m at the house. We treat your dog like our family so that means ofc they are allowed on the couch and we have a fenced in back yard & covered patio while we love to spend time outside so you can be assured majority of the time we will be right there beside em. I do have a cat who spends majority of the time in our bedroom other than eating.

Tina and her husband were wonderful caretakers for our sweet terrier Lilly. They were so welcoming when we got there. Their setup was perfect. They had a fenced back yard. They also took her on walks, brushed her, doted on her, let her sleep with them and made her feel so at home that when we came to pick her up she wanted us to come in instead of running out to the car as usual. She wanted all her peeps to be together. That is true testimony to the wonderful experience she had. Tina also kept us updated every couple of days with photos and gave us a full report when we came to pick up. Our girl had no problems so no more reporting was required. We were delighted with their services!

This was the first time we left our fur baby while we went on vacation. TWO WEEKS! We were so worried about how this would go (with us and with Zoey). Gabbi was a blessing! Zoey fit right in and did extremely well. Gabbi kept us posted and sent pics which eliminated ALL of our worries and concerns. Because of Gabbi, we were able to relax and have a great vacation. She knew exactly what to do to make Zoey comfortable and stress free, she had a great time too! We will definitely be using Gabbi again!
