“Stella and Zane are loving folks that took good care of our German Shepherd, Tobie. Shared photos and updates and answered all my million questions. Very dependable and caring people. Was my first using them and I am already booking for our next stay!!”


2. Maggie D.

“Maggie did a great job taking care of our 2 pups. This was the first time we have ever left them and were gone for an 8 day vacation. Maggie sent photos and videos every day and made it so that I did not worry and enjoyed our trip. We have more vacations planned and will use Maggie to watch our girls for every trip!!”


3. Dennis & Lynn H.

“Our dogs came home happy from their overnight with Dennis & Lynn. We appreciated Dennis & Lynn keeping us updated and sending pictures of them while they stayed with them. Thank you !”


4. David & Betty C.

“David and Betty are just the best sitter I have found. They are very nice and genuine. They asked all the right questions about how to take care of my KoKo during the initial meet, and showed that they really cared for my doggie. They helped keep her active when I was on a long work trip and sent regular updates. I could tell that KoKo was very happy and got all the attentions she needed. I will definitely request their help again and highly recommend them to others.”


5. Matthew T.

“Matthew was great. I have somewhat of a special needs dog and he was terrific in supporting her needs while we were went on vacation. He sent pictures every day, included updates, and had no problem at all with her food and medication needs. Would absolutely book with him again.”




6. Marisol P.

“Marisol is the best! Last year, I had to board Conrad while I traveled for work. I chose a reputable doggy daycare and boarding near my home. It did not go well! Too many dogs and Conrad did not get any individual care, then got sick from it to top off the bad experience. So, when I had to travel this time, a friend said they had good experiences with Rover. Looking at profiles, Marisol and her home looked like a good fit for my senior little guy. Marisol, her home, and Twinkie were a perfect fit! Conrad struggles with separation anxiety usually, but Marisol’s routines fit mine and Conrad settled right in! I appreciated knowing he was getting lots of loves and attention through daily pictures and updates Marisol will definitely be our go to sitter when needed in the future!”


7. Tricia K.

“Tricia has been absolutely amazing! Incredibly responsive to messages and very communicative, super accommodating and flexible. She sent updates with photos several times each day. I knew my pup was in good hands and will definitely be using her again in the future!”


8. Kathy C.


“Kathy and Craig do an amazing job caring for little dogs, their place is like a small dog paradise with the backyard and similar-sized dogs to play with. Kathy is appropriately communicative and I appreciated the meet and greet beforehand to make sure the dogs were a good fit. Our dog has never been happier at another's home, we're looking forward to future visits.”


9. Chloe M.

“Chloe took care of my dog Rupert with no concerns whatsoever. She sent daily updates and pictures and was pleasant to communicate with. No issues at all, definitely recommend and will use her again in the future!”


10. Michelle L.

“Michelle was great! She really took great care of my big baby. She was very communicative and sent me updates on her own. It looked like my baby was having a good time. I highly recommend you book with her.”


11. Linda N.

“For our first Rover experience, it couldn’t have gone any better. Constant communication and tons of pictures like we requested. We can only hope Linda isn’t booked up next time we need a dog sitter. She has set the bar so high. Thank you!”


12. Ari S.

13. Irey F.

“Codi did a meet n greet with Lance and we knew he would feel right at home for his over night stay. Lance is beyond attentive to Codi and didn’t skip a beat to make Codi feel welcome and comfortable. His home is extremely welcoming and well maintained. We had no concerns whatsoever of his property and neighborhood. Lance provided plenty of updates and pictures. We would book again with Lance!!”


14. Katie M.

“Katie and Mike, you are the best hosts for our pup! Thank you for putting up with his crazy behavior and teenager ways and loving him anyway! We are so blessed to have you guys!”


15. Sara J.


“Sara was awesome and Gregory had the most fun time staying with her. Sara was sending pictures throughout the day of Gregory playing and having the best time which put us at ease so much. Gregory has an eye issue and during his stay this flared up and was of concern to Sara. She straight away notified us and as we were in a place with no to little signal, she was more than willing to contact our vet and work with them on a solution. We will definitely be using Sara again when we next have to leave Gregory. Thank you!!”


16. Sandy M.

“Let's just say I wouldn't want to leave my dog Stella with anyone else. I get pictures everyday, they accept her as one of the family and they are very very trustworthy.”


17. Dana H.


“We boarded 2 pooches with Dana and her family. We were hesitant because one of our dogs has a stress seizure disorder which can be serious. Yet- we needed to have her somewhere while we went out of town. Dana graciously offered a Meet and greet and I was very pleased on how both dogs responded. We decided to give it a go and I am pleased to announce both dogs had a great time and we didn't have any problems. No seizures and 2 happy pups! It was a nice touch getting texts and photos from her throughout the time she was caring for our dogs. Thank you Dana and family!”


18. Sarah M.


“Sarah was amazing with our Pup! It’s clear that she loves dogs and they love her back. Our pup is normally pretty anxious in unfamiliar environments, but after spending a few days with Sarah, she was perfectly happy upon our return. Pupper even insisted on saying goodbye before we left :) It was so nice knowing she was being well-cared for while we were away!”




19. Rikke C.


“Katie came home happy and healthy. She is a ball of energy so I knew that her stay with a play mate Luna and 3 kids would keep her busy. There is lots of room to run and play. Rikke kept me updated with pictures of Katie and her adventures. Will use their services again.”


20. Nari L.


“Nari responded promptly and kept us up to date on how our little guy was doing over the long weekend. Very pleased and would be happy to book her again!”
