3. Nieves P.

“Nieves was amazing! I have always relied on family to watch any dogs I own but I stepped out of my comfort zone and was thoroughly impressed. Murphy and Chloe were so well taken care of by Nieves and her boyfriend. I received photos and video updates throughout their stay. It made being away from them so much easier. They were so loved!! We will be trusting them with our fur babies in the future for sure!!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful with our dog, Biscuit. He was feeling under the weather and she was great with his medicine and keeping us updated on his symptoms while we were away. She was very communicative and professional in her interactions and sent us frequent pictures during his stay with her. Would definitely use her again and recommend to others.”

8. Melissa R.

“Where do I start! Melissa and Family are truly the BEST Rover experience we have had! EVER! The care Bella received was priceless! The house and grounds are a dog’s paradise!!! And the humans made sure Bella had daily walks in the woods, swim in the pond, chasing squirrels and chipmunks …so much so, Bella ate and slept well. This is a FIRST FOLKS! I was thinking Bella wouldn’t want to come back home she was having such an amazing time. I know Bella will miss her new human friends and Dhooney that is Bella’s newest best fur friend! To sum up… this stay was PAWSOME!”

“Patricia did an excellent job of watching BMO. She sent me lots of pictures and made sure he was involved in all family activities. I would definitely book her again!”


10. Kate B.

“Kate was a gem and truly saved us when we were in a pinch. My dog had a severe allergy flare up when we were on vacation and was in need of a rest day with some TLC. Kate and family went above and beyond to give him all of the blankets, cuddles, and relaxation he needed while we continued hiking in high humidity and wet conditions. I’m super careful about who cares for Tux and am glad I put my trust in Kate! We made it home without worsening Tux’s allergies, and he’s doing much better now.”

Lastly, when I picked her up, Bailey was all brushed out and looking great!”


12. Erin P.
“Erin is amazing with animals! She helped take care of my Shar-Pei named Lamb when he was having emergency medical issues. I was unable to be with him closely and transport him back and forth to vet during some of the time he was ill due to having to be at work. Erin kept a close eye on him and she really helped me out during an overwhelming time. She went above and beyond by transporting him for me! Erin is very knowledgeable about animals and has a big, caring heart. I trust her with any of my pets!!”


13. Robert D.
“Robert has watched both my lab retrievers many times. Sometimes for an hour and sometimes all day. Both my boys love Robert every time they see him and they’re exhausted when they come home at the end of the day. Robert puts all his energy and effort into any dog he watches. He’s very calm, and very comfortable with dogs. There isn’t anyone else I’d rather watch my boys.”
