“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“Shirley is super sitter. Sent me cool slo mo vid of my pooch playing tricks. I was traveling thru and wanted to go to show in Chicago. She came to motel and picked up Bella. Highly recommend Shirley !!”
“Our Remi is a little challenging, cause she is afraid of people and new places. Jo’Ell kindly offered us couple meet ups with Remi so Remi can get more familiar with her before the boarding. She also provided helpful tips to us that helps Remi to opens herself up. During this stay, Todou and Remi both became very picky with the food, Jo’Ell grabbed some food topper for them and resolved the issue. Super experienced!”
“Karin is great with communication and providing updates! I also appreciated how she introduced our pup to her own dog and home. Our dog, Hank, felt right at home immediately”
“Mary and her husband were very welcoming to my little guy Tazer. I felt totally comfortable with them and knew they would treat him well and they did. I only felt bad because Tazer was at her home for overnight boarding and he was having a restless night so no one got a good nights sleep. Despite this there were no complaints from Mary. I definitely recommend Mary as a sitter!”
“Erin was great help and took amazing care of our Shiba Inu for several days! We appreciated her communication and being so thorough to cater to our dog’s needs, as he is a bit high-maintenance. Our dog got plenty of exercise and play time with Erin’s dog. I would highly recommend!”
“Alexa was amazing with Ellie! She treated her like her own dog and Ellie had the best time. She reached out daily with updates about Ellie and I felt very secure having her stay with Alexa for the week! I will rebook in the future :)”
“I really appreciate Rae taking my pup on such short notice. She was a great communicator throughout the process & made me feel comfortable about boarding my dog with her. Highly recommend & will look to book with Rae again in the future!”
“Cheryl was very responsive and gave super care to our two dogs, one of whom was recovering from surgery and still had stitches. She careful to follow directions, sent photos, and informed me what they were doing 2x per day. We will definitely be sending our pups to Cheryl again soon!”
“Kent has watched buddy twice now and he’s been great! Buddy can be particular and Kent has took good care of him. He’s always communicative when we check in as well, thank you Kent!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Angelica! My shih tzu is a nervous boy with special needs and Angelica was so wonderful to him. She took expert care of his eye (he needs one cleaned a certain way) and was so good to him when an unexpected thunderstorm rolled through on one of the nights he was staying with her (he absolutely hates thunder). Her home is set up perfectly for dogs, too. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!”
“Danielle was great! I asked her to meet up with me and our dog beforehand to ensure that we were a perfect fit for each other. I am certain our pup was well taken care off while we were away and she was made a part of their lovely family. Couldn’t ask for more and will be using her services again in the future.”
“This is my first time using the Rover App and Christina made it an amazing experience. We met prior to boarding so I was very comfortable with seeing the space our puppy was going to stay. This was a great opportunity for us to meet her sweet pup Brydie. Both Dogs hit off from the start and I knew this was a good opportunity for our pup, Marshmallow to have a friend to play with while we are out of town. We had fears about Marshmallow running off but Christina took good care of her. She sent us pictures while we were on vacation on was very easy to work with. Her whole family was great and I knew our baby was in good hands. I highly recommend Christina as she is kind and companionate and you know she will treat your pup as her own. Thanks for such a great experience.”
“First timer to book through Rover and it was a smashing success! Juliet seemed well cared for and entertained while her family left her for a long weekend. I would definitely book with John again. I think that Juliet got to hang with another dog put her at ease in a new home. And loved that we received periodic photos of her enjoying her vacation. Thank you!”
“Jenny was great! My pup loved her and she was so responsive and provided me with tons of updates which made me feel very comfortable. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Our one-year-old mini-goldendoodle spent almost 5 days with Lyn. We are very happy with our experience! Lyn sent us photos and updates regularly. Our pup looked great in all of the photos having fun with Lyn and family. Lyn also does dog grooming and when we picked up our pup, he looked very handsome! Nice extra benefit! We will definitely be boarding our pup again with Lyn next month!”
“Michelle and family took great care of Penny- even coming up with new tasty food items for my picky girl. I really appreciate how well she is taken care of which allows me to have peace of mind while away”
“This was our first stay with Justine and Brett. They watched my 13 year old Golden for 4 days. Everything from initial contact with Justine, to picking up my pup later than expected after a flight delay of three hours, went very smoothly. She sent pictures to me while I was away…gave morning medication, and stayed in touch throughout the time I was gone. KC will definitely go back the next time mom needs to leave town. 😊🐶. Thank you Justine and Brett!”
