“My Border Collie had a blast spending the week with Leanna! My pup even had a little arts and craft time over there and now I have a magnet with my dogs paw print embedded in it for my fridge! Would definitely use her for boarding in the future again and recommend you do as well.”
“I’m so glad and thankful we met Aish in Rover . Aish and family took good care of Cloud. They send pics and videos throughout the day, and I’m at peace during our vacay knowing she’s well taken care off.”
“Vanessa and Andrew are simply amazing! Rudy was so excited for his second stay with them that he ran right into the house and didn’t look back!”
“First time using River and Monique was awesome! Very flexible and communicative, thanks for sending lots of pictures of my Leo and keeping my mind at ease with good care. Will definitely use again!”
“Michelle, Brian and their family took such great care of my dog! She felt right at home going into their home and didn’t give it a thought that I was leaving her there, she was so excited! They sent updates and pictures to me, followed her routine that I left, and treated her just like family. I highly recommend them as pet sitters!”
“Our pup came home happy and well cared for. Kelly gave our dog enough exercise and even catered to our finicky eater. She was kind and treated our dog like her own! She also was easy to work with.”
“Steve and Diane were a pleasure to work with and making sure my German Shepherd was comfortable and well taken care of. Diane was good with communication, providing updates and pictures. Will definitely use them again”
“Morgan and Jennifer were amazing with my dog! They sent cute videos of him. He loved being there and was well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking with them when I need to go out of town!”
“Becky was great to work with. We did a meet & greet prior to Charlie spending the weekend with her, and that went very well. Charlie enjoyed her weekend!”
“Cheyene did a great job with our small dog. He seemed very happy and the pictures looked like he was enjoying his stay. She also alerted me to a spot on his tummy which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“I am so thankful to have found Peg and Greg! My dog does not always do well with other dogs and doggy daycares are not a good fit for her. My parents usually watch our dog but could not so I searched Rover and found Peg and Greg. We did a meet and greet and immediately knew they were a great fit. They have a huge fenced in backyard stocked with plenty of squirrels to watch and chase. I was a bit nervous to leave her with new people (even though I was comfortable with them) because my dog has some separation anxiety from me but that was quickly calmed. Peg sent tons of pictures and updates every day. When I came to pick up my dog she happily greeted me and then resumed her squirrel-watching post at the deck door as if to say, "Hi Mom, thanks for coming to visit me at camp. Come back again next week!" I will definitely book with them again!”
“Dusty stayed with Lynne for 3 nights and came home happy and healthy. Lynne sent daily pictures with a message, so I knew Dusty was being loved just like at home. She even invited him back! Will be going back soon. Thanks Lynne.”
“Teddy was well loved while he was at their house. Miya, the beautiful furry friend, let Teddy into her home, shared her bed, walked with Teddy (many times a day) and even shared her humans!💕 With the continuous conversations and photos with Carrie, I knew how Teddy responded to a new home and how welcomed he felt in the 6 night stay. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone that needed their high energy, medium anxiety, and well loved dog taken care of for a few hours or a few days. Did I mention our English Setter likes a human to be next to him while he eats??? Thanks Mark, Carrie and Miya!”
“This was our first time leaving Bella for more than 2 days with anyone. Ashley was incredible! Bella has separation anxiety and Ashley was so understanding and supportive. Ashley was able to read Bella and give her the support she needed. We were incredibly relieved to hear Bella didn't need her anxiety medication (something we rarely have been able to do ourselves). We appreciate how Ashley is concerned for Bella's safety when Ashley needed to leave the home. We anticipated a set back in Bella's separation anxiety when we came back and so far she seems even more calm than before. We've only had Bella about 1.5 years and she's our first dog. We are definitely worried pawrents and yet we were able to relax without any worries on our vacation.”
“Mary and her husband are made for taking care of dogs. While in their care, it feels like they definitely care for my dog Cleo as much as any of there own dogs. Which, by the way, their dogs are included in the boarding experience which gives my dog plenty of socializing and play time. She sleeps all day when she finally comes home she's so tired out! Thank you again to the amazing hosts. 11/10 would recommend.”
“Kami is truly amazing!! We had our two pups stay with her and she has the best home layout for dogs while also being so attentive and involved in their needs! She sent continued to check in with us while we were away (with lots of great photos) which made our vacation so relaxing knowing they were in good care! Highly recommended!! Thank you Kami for all you do!!”
“Very nice to have a meet and greet before Venci’s first stay. Christine kept us updated and was flexible with drop off time!”
“Sebastian had a great time with Shelby and all the other Rover dogs that stayed with her and her family! With plenty of picture updates, it looks like he spent the majority of the beautiful week outside playing. He definitely can’t wait to go back and hang with his buds! Truly a vacation for him.”
“Shelley took such good care of our pup, Ollie. We loved the updates and pictures we received and we could tell that Ollie was having a great time. Already have rebooked with Shelley for our next vacation. Thank you!!”
“Marill was excellent with our dogs and it's very obvious she is a dog lover of all dogs and treats them as her own. It looked like they had the best time (she kept us updated with great pictures) and their very different needs were able to be met. Would happily bring my dogs there again and recommend to anyone.”
