“Great experience with Kimberly. This was my first time with overnight boarding for my dog for 9 days. Kimberly kept in touch with me about Bella and also sent pictures. My Bella was very anxious in the beginning and I feel Kimberly met her needs to keep her calm. She even afford to give my dog pills to help with the anxiety. Kimberly was also kind enough to wait for our delayed fight even though we went about 2.5 hours past the pick up time for Bella, she was very understanding. I glad that I found her. I would definitely book with her again!”

“Absolutely fantastic with my 14 year old pup. She communicated promptly and well. Very pleased with how my pup was cared for and returned home!”
4. Mindy L.
“Mindy was very sweet to our Luna! She took time to have a Meet & Greet beforehand, to make sure our pup was comfortable and that it was a good fit. She provided copious updates -- photos and videos -- and was very quick to respond when we reached out to see how things were going. Luna came home pleasantly tired *and* having made a few friends in Mindy's kitties! :) Thank you Mindy!!!”
5. Erika B.
“As all true dog lovers know, a dog is not just a pet, it is a member of the family. As such, I am very cautious about where and who I leave my dog with. As we had never had to leave our Violet with anyone, my wife and I were very worried when we had to leave our girl for almost 2 weeks. We did not feel comfortable boarding her at a kennel as we didn’t think she would respond well to that environment. So, we went to Rover to see if we could find someone we thought would be a good fit for our Violet. After reading multiple write ups on various Rover sitters, we found Erika who we thought looked like a good fit and was close to our home. At our meet and greet with Erika, my wife and I had perfect peace as we met with Erika and saw the home where Violet would be staying. Erika had a warm and inviting home, a fenced in backyard, and the perfect playmate, ( her dog Huxley) for our girl Violet. My wife and I decided immediately that this home and sitter would be the perfect fit for Violet. We were not disappointed! Erika loved our Violet as much as she loved her own dog and showered her with love and affection. She sent us daily pictures and videos of Violet and her dog playing, napping, and just having a wonderful time. She was having so much fun. We jokingly, worried that Violet wouldn’t want to come home with us after spending time with Erika. Ha Ha. In summary, any dog would be lucky to spend time with Erika. She is an amazing person and we were so happy we found her. This app only let me put in a rating of 5 stars, but if I could have, I would have put in 10 or more stars in rating her performance. We would definitely use Erika again in the future, if and when we needed to board our Violet. My only worry is that after reading my review of Erika, everyone will want to board with her and I won’t be able to have my Violet stay with her when I next need her. Ha ha.”

“Valerie did such a great job taking care of my senior pup! She communicated well, was super sweet, and very understanding about the extra care a senior pup needs. I could tell Skip was in the best hands while I was away! I definitely recommend Valerie to any dog parent:)”

8. Dana & Jeremy H.
“Dana and Jeremy were very nice and well prepared for Tyson’s visit. They took great care of Tyson without issue. I highly recommend Dana and Jeremy.”
9. Brie O.
“Brie watched my dog for a weekend and was an amazing pet sitter! She gave me updates throughout the weekend and always quick to respond when I checked up on her. This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter as well and it made me feel so relieved as I knew my dog would be in great hands after our first initial meet. I am 100% going to have her to be a pet sitter again in the future as I know she will give the my dog the correct attention and care that my dog needs! I highly recommend Brie as she will be attentive and will keep you informed constantly on how your dog is doing and will care for your dog as if it were her own!!”
10. Alena g.
“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”

We will definitely book with her again and would recommend her highly :)”
