Our pup is always calm and happy after staying with David. He really offers an amazing space for us to board our VERY anxious dog when we travel. I am so thankful for him.

I couldn't have chosen better sitters than Emma and Collin. It was my anxious 7 year old dog's first time being boarded. She was nervous at first,but, Emma and Collin k ew how to make her comfortable and she ended up really enjoying her stay and the other dogs. So thankful I found these two!!

Juliana and her family embraced Aiden like one of their own. He was surrounded by love, constant attention, and she went above and beyond to make us feel secure and kept him safe. She kept in constant contact throughout the day with photo updates as well. I will work with Juliana EVERY single time as there is no one better who will value and love your pup as much she does!

Alex and her family were very welcoming. I like that they did a meet and greet just to ensure that my dog would be a good fit for them to take care of. My dog was very excited to be with them and they took great care of him. I received updates and pictures during his stay. I am grateful to them to be able to enjoy my vacation and know that my precious Goose was in great hands. I am appreciative and grateful for such wonderful service.

Andres did a fantastic job watching our Golden Retriever, Murphy for a week. This was Murphys first visit and he made out great. Andres provided us with photos during the week and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I could tell right away Andres had a love for dogs and made his home very accommodating, as there was a fenced area with lots of room to roam. Thanks for a great stay!

OMG! Alyssa and Marcus were amazing!!! It was Sam's first time being away from home. I was super nervous because he can get a little anxious and I didn't know how he would adjust to being away from home. We thought about it over some time and Alyssa and Marcus were able to accomodate our plans last minute. Before the reservation was even finalized, they were so helpful and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout his stay with so many pictures and reassurances. It really put my mind at ease. Sam had such a good time with Zara, Alyssa, and Marcus...I think he was upset he had to leave! I can't imagine sending him anywhere else. I definitely weill be booking with them again.

George watched our dog over Thanksgiving. He was very responsive leading up to and during the stay. He sent us pictures of her during having a great time. He took her on lots of walks and she seemed well cared for. When we picked her up she was so happy and pumped in a way she typically only is after she has had lots of fun. Will definitely use again and would recommend!

Madeline and Roman went above and beyond with Ringo. They were incredibly responsive and accommodating - especially with drop off and pick up times. We felt at ease that Ringo was in good hands and we enjoyed getting photos from Madeline showing us all the fun he was having. We will absolutely be returning the next time we go away!! We could not recommend Madeline enough.

This was my families first time using rover as my family needed urgent boarding for our babies Kayla and Khole. This was their first time being away from us and they are both very shy. Despite this Andreah A was very pleasant, responsive, understanding and she did her best to accommodate what our babies needed during their stay. I appreciated all of her wonderful pictures and updates of both of our babies during the time we were apart. I'm definitely looking forward to booking with Andreah very soon. Andreah thank you so much for the last minute booking and the wonderful care of our little Khole and Kayla.

Saya and David were amazing! I had to book a sitter at the last minute, and they made the whole experience stress-free. I have two dogs with very different needs—one is high-energy, and the other is older and has a lot of anxiety—and they did a great job caring for both of them. They were very responsive, sent lots of great photos and updates, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with them and knew they were in good hands. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!

Kevin was very thorough when we met up, and he asked lots of questions so that I would feel safe leaving Rosie. I’m very happy with the experience and I will use Kevin again soon.
