“I can never say enough about about her wonderful services. My dog is older and has some special abilities that need to be tended to. She has dogs herself that are gentle and playful that supplies my dog with a plenty of playmates. She also never kenneled my dog which was a big worry for me. Time and time again I would never choose anyone else to take care of my sweet boy.”


“Dewi and I have had a wonderful first experience boarding with Alex! I was out of the country for two weeks, but always could tell form the updates, photos and videos that my gentle old man was in the best of care. Especially loved seeing him get special attention on his 15th birthday! Alex has much experience with all types of dogs, and it shows. Very professional. Thank you so much!”


“It was our first time leaving our dog Lucy with Michelle and Lucy had a wonderful time and Michelle took great care of of her. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures on how Lucy was doing. We were gone for a week and I felt comfortable and confident leaving Lucy in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter!”

“My fur-child Jetson had a great 4 day stay at Julie"s place. She kept my mind at ease by sending lots of updates and pictures while he was in her care. She also was great at making sure he stayed on his medication and letting me know exactly how she was handling his anxiety and health concerns. I was so comfortable with her care of him and will be sure to book her again in the future!”

“We are first time clients of rover.com and were very blessed to find Paula for boarding our 2 boy kitties for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. Paula's care was top notch and her communications with us were extremely prompt. She made sure our boys were happy and adjusted, plus noticed any medical/vet issues and sent numerous updates and photos. We will definitely use Paula again and highly recommend her to others!”

“I boarded my toy poodle Phoebe for the first time using Rover.com. She is 18 years old, deaf and nearly blind. During our meet and greet with Andrew, I could see that he genuinely cares about pets based upon the look on his face when he saw her and held her during the meet and greet. He described where he planned to keep her and I relaxed. During her 4 day stay, I received pictures and updates, and Andrew answered my questions promptly. Phoebe and I were fortunate to find Andrew. I will definitely call upon Andrew again, and highly recommend him to others.”


“Hali took very good care of our boy and was easy to communicate with! She sent pictures throughout the entire week so I always knew how he was doing. He also enjoyed playing with their friendly dog- Cooper! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
