âMy Maple is a repeat guest. This week, she was very excited to be dropped off at Marlene's, and a little sad when it was time to pick her up. Next time I'm expecting that Maple will refuse to come home. But we will keep boarding with Marlene anyway, because she is incredibly kind and takes such amazing care of my high-maintenance pup.â

âMoonyoung and Sunhuyung were fantastic! They were very responsive and I was able to set up a meet and greet with them before booking. Communication was great and I received daily updates from them with lots of pictures. Brody was comfortable with them right away and adjusted to his normal routine from the get go. Would definitely recommend them and use them again.â

âChristina put an immense amount of attention into my dog Maia. She gave me an update with pics every night and gave me a sense of assurance that my dog was in great hands and being given a wonderful amount of attention. I will definitely ask Christina and her husband Nick to watch my dog in the future whenever I need to. 20/10 service!â

âWan and her husband were so kind and loving to my dog Sandy. They have a large fenced in back yard for playing and bathroom breaks. Wan's dog George is very friendly and made Sandy feel welcomed. I will definitely trust Wan to watch Sandy in the future. I highly recommend Wan.â

âAngie was incredible!!! So responsive and sent the best updates of Georgia multiple times a day. Itâs clear she got so much love and attention. We will absolutely be using her again. Thank you so much, Angie!!!â

âYuberkis did an amazing job caring for my sweet boy Dudley! It takes a lot of patience to care for French Bulldogs with all of their skin allergies & the treatment of their skin folds. She followed Dudleyâs detailed treatment regimen to the tee & put my mind at ease while I traveled out of town. He had an amazing time playing with her dog while soaking up some sun in her beautiful backyard. She is patient, considerate and great with communication while caring for your fur babies. Dudley & I thank you sooooo much!!!â

âAmanda was an amazing caregiver for our dog! She kept us updated with plenty of photos and regular check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind during our vacation. It was clear from the start that she truly loves and cares for animalsâjust like she does for her own cat and family. We never had to worry for a second, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!â

âAngela is so kind and a dog whisperer for real. she is someone i feel i can trust with Mac, i got updates and pics/videos and that was soooo comforting. i trust her to administer his two medications and it was a pleasure to meet and hopefully board up with her again.â

âWe loved Summer! She took such great care of our 13-year old greyhound mix while we were away for 10 days. Summer was very responsive, sent lots of (very welcomed!) updates, and was diligent about how much food our dog needed and what his habits and routines were. Our boy was well looked after and came back his happy, healthy self. Thank you so much, Summer!â

âWe are so happy to have found Geoff, Jenny and family. Snickers was treated like one of the family. She had plenty of friends and activity to keep her engaged. We loved receiving plenty of updates throughout the time away which included pictures and videos. We have found Snickers 2nd home when we are away. It makes us feel so good that we donât have to worry that she will be taken care of in a loving home.â

âMatthew is INCREDIBLE!!! We had several cancelled/delayed flights and kept pushing back our pick up time for our pup. He was truly a pleasure to work with and very flexible. Couldnât recommend enough.â

âNitasha and Neerav took amazing care of our shy Whippet. She needed some time to settle in and their patience and experience made all the difference. They sent lots of pictures and videos to reassure us.â

âHighly recommend! Murphy had the best time with Christian! I was super nervous leaving Murphy with someone he didnât know for a few days, but as soon as I met Christian and his family, I felt instantly comfortable. They were so friendly and welcoming! Christian was awesome with communication â even before I dropped Murphy off, he answered all my questions and made the whole process easy. While I was away, he sent just the right amount of pics and videos of Murphy living his best life, which made me feel so much better. Picking him up was super easy too. Honestly, I canât recommend Christian enough â will definitely be booking with him again!â

âAngelica took great care of Kora again!! Kora wasn't eating in the morning and Angelica hand fed her until she started to eat on her own, thankful Angelica is this caring of the pets she sits for. Thank you Angelicaâ

âMichael was super attentive to banjo! Great at sending update pictures, asking specific questions about his care, even separating him for meal time + accepting a door dash when he ran out of food. Michael really went the extra mile by keeping banjo for an additional night when my flight was delayed till late. Will book again!â

Our dog warmed up to Endre immediately which was a relief because she can be a reactive dog. Endre provided us timely updates to show that our dog was happy, safe, and in good hands. We wouldnât hesitate to ask Endre to take care of our fur baby in the future. Thanks Endre!

Exceptional care for your furry family members and peace of mind for pet parents. We could not be more pleased with the care our dog received from Heather. From start to finish, it was clear that he was in excellent hands. She was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog returned to us happy, relaxed, safe, and healthyâclear signs of thoughtful and compassionate care. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter.

I cannot say enough great things about Alycia and her fiancĂŠ. They are two truly lovely people who treated our pup, Nova, like their own and made sure she had the best care (even getting her a Christmas gift!) while my husband and I were away for the holidays. I can sometimes be an anxious dog mom, and Alycia put me at ease right from the start by jumping on a call to introduce herself before booking and then continuing to send pictures and updates throughout Nova's stay. I will absolutely be booking with Alycia again, and I know Nova cannot wait for another staycation with her new favorite sitters!

I had to take an extended trip for almost 3 weeks, and Kathryn did an amazing job taking care of my two dogs while I was away. I knew they would be in good hands during the meet and greet because she is such a warm person and has a lovely home with a backyard which made the extended time away more manageable for my pups.

This was my third time using Christian, and once again, everything went perfectly! Even though I had a hectic weekend and ended up getting sick and droping off a date late and two days early, he made pickup and drop off super easy. Murphy absolutely loves going there. He knew exactly where we were headed and was so excited when we pulled up. Itâs such a relief knowing heâs in great hands every time!

We left our Izzie, with Evelyn for four days and were very pleased with the experience. Evelyn was professional, attentive, and provided regular updates that gave us peace of mind. Izzie came home happy, and clearly well cared for. We highly recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter on Rover.

Hank bad a great time with DooHyang & Frank during boarding! DooHyang & Frank sent us multiple pictures throughout the day (some which looked like professional shots!) as well as frequent communications throughout the day to ensure all was okay for Hank! I will def request again if Hank needs to be boarded again in the future! Thank you, DooHyang & Frank!!

Stephanie was amazing! She took such great care of my two Frenchies while I was away. She kept me updated and I could tell my dogs were happy, relaxed, and loved. She treated them like her own, and Iâll definitely be booking with her againâhighly recommend Stephanie for anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet boarder! đž thank u
