“Another great stay with Dana! Dana really goes above and beyond with the care and updates and it is such an ease of kind knowing you don’t have to worry about your pet while you’re away.”
“Cori was absolutely fantastic and took such great care of my dog, Kida! I was looking last minute for someone to watch my dog for a few days and thankfully Cori had the days I needed. Cori sent pictures and updates on how my dog was doing. I will definitely be booking with Cori again!”
“This was our first time with Jennifer, and it was the best experience! Her dog Charolette has now become my girls best friend. Jennifer was very responsive and sent tons of pictures. She made our trip wonderful because we knew our girls were well cared for!! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!”
“Heather was great. She was so intentional about getting to know me and my dog. She seems knowledgeable and actually happy to be spending time with Peabody while I'm away. I think he's likely happier with her and the huge amount of love she's covering him with than me on a daily basis. ????”
“Elly loves staying a Julie’s! She’s happy when we drop her off and happy (& very tired) when we pick her up! Julie keeps us updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos.”
“Leslie was awesome! She had Trapper for day care and kept him busy playing ball which he LOVES, and took him for a walk. He really enjoyed running around her backyard which is perfect for the dogs to run and play! She sent a lot of pictures and videos to let us know what our boy was up to. We are already planning our next booking!”
“**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stephanie is amazing!** Stephanie took care of my dog Max for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure Max felt comfortable and loved the entire time. Her home was clean and safe, and Max came back happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Oh my word. Rebekah was a life-saver. We had a last-minute booking, and at the Meet & Greet, any fears I had were out the window. She is so friendly and welcoming that my pup ran right to her! She has a spacious yard, a spacious dedicated area for several pups to sleep and stretch and nap (complete with cozy chair), and her joy is incredible! You can tell she really loves her job and does so much to care for the pets she watches. Rebekah was so great with sending updates and pictures - we never worried about our pup at all! It was clear she was in exceptionally good hands with Rebekah! We picked up our puppy, and while she was so excited to see us, she still running up to Rebekah like she was already part of the family! Rebekah gave us a full rundown of the stay, and how much fun our pup had with her and when we got home, our puppy passed OUT from all the excitement, fun, and exercise she was able to have with Rebekah. That made our hearts so happy to know that our pup had so much fun while we were gone! We don't leave her too often because of some of her past experiences with her previous owner. Rebekah really cared for our pup and made sure she was able to just be a dog and have a really good couple of days with a new friend.”
“Amber was amazing! I had a last minute travel and she was so accommodating! From sending pics and videos of my puppy to being very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. This was my first experience using Rover but I’m so glad I found Amber. She is definitely my go to now for my puppy ?”
“Jocelin and Christian did an exceptional job caring for our pups. Jocelin shared pictures daily and made extra effort to give them the exercise our high energy young ones need. I highly recommend Jocelin for boarding your dogs.”
“Stacie is just the BEST sitter for my Goldendoodle. He’s stayed with her multiple times, and I have three more bookings planned. I wouldn’t trust Rudder with anyone else. Stacie sends pictures and updates while I’m away which lets me know Rudder is doing well. And, he’s always happy when I drop him off and pick him up. He’s excited to stay with her!”
“Jessica truly went above and beyond while taking care of our dog Frank! She provided many updates and pictures and we knew he was in great care! She is amazing with dogs and would absolutely use her again!”
“Sadie and Louie were well cared for and I could tell they had a great day. My dogs got along well with sitters’ dogs and her home is large enough where they can find a quiet space to get away and rest. Dogs were taken on a nice walk and out to just potty as needed. Very happy with this sitter.🐾😁👍🏻”
“Bryan and Brooke were absolutely amazing! Thor, our Labrador Husky, had the absolute best time. They were communicative, sent pictures every single day and were just absolutely pleasant to coordinate with. I wish I had found them sooner, I will be using them exclusively from now on!”
“Maria and her son were excellent companions for Moxie this weekend — super responsive and sent plenty of updates of our dog enjoying the poolside. We will be back again soon!”
“It was our first time using Rover and Chaoran made the whole experience so smooth! She was patient with our anxious pup and kept us updated every day with sweet messages and photos. You can tell she genuinely cares, and her own pup is absolutely adorable too, which just made everything feel even more welcoming. We’re really thankful for how well everything went and would definitely book with her again!”
