“Talishia was very friendly and helpful when caring for our German Shephard for a week. She sent pictures and has a fenced in yard for our dog to run around in. I would go back for boarding needs!”


“Luke and Rachel did a great job caring for my senior dog while we were out of town. Great communication and a really nice couple. I highly recommend them!”


“Rosie loved her time with Patricia and Patrick. She decided Patrick was her special person and followed him everywhere. She was so loved and well taken care of! Patricia and Patrick are such lovely people!”


“Tammy was amazing. I think it says a lot about our the sitter when you pup wants to stay and is hesitant to go home. Tammy will be at the top of our list any time we need someone to watch our pup when we go out of town.”


“Marie and Mark were absolutely fantastic! From the very first message, they were incredibly easy to work with—quick to respond, super flexible, and genuinely kind. It’s clear they truly love dogs, and that made all the difference. Our pup Mavis had a wonderful stay with them—she came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We got great video and photo updates, and it felt great knowing she was in such loving hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”


“Anna was GREAT with our pups. She was so communicative while we were away, and our dogs came home happy and tired. That’s the sign of a great time! We would trust our dogs with Anna again anytime!”


“Sandra went above and beyond caring for our dog! She sent updates and photos-we could see he was in very good hands. She was skilled at handling his anxiety and just seemed to understand him. We would use Sandra again in a heartbeat!”


“Curtis was great with our pet. Oscar and his pet, Trooper got along well during the initial contact. Curtis, understands pet behavior and took very good care of Oscar. Also communicates well with updates. Will definitely be using him again!”

“Jackie and the family were great. I felt comfortable right out of the gate that our dog would be in good hands. Her dogs kept ours company with lots of playing out in their fences in yard and she even took them on walks. The kids helped out and Jackie sent pictures and updates throughout which was much appreciated. We will be trusting them with our dog again in the future for sure!”


“Brody's first weekend with Brianna and her family was wonderful! We got lots of pics and videos (which we shared with some guests at our son's wedding - a big hit when people asked where Brody was staying!). Brody especially loves Brianna's daughter and follows her everywhere. We are so thankful we chose this family and will be using again!”


“So glad we found such a great family to care for our 2 year old cockapoo, Brody! We were nervous because we had never left our dog overnight with anyone, but from the first meet and greet, to his "practice" day, thru his 4+ day stay, we felt totally comfortable, got great updates and pictures, and Brody was obviously well cared for and happy! We will definitely use again!”


“Amanda and Zachary did a fantastic job watching our dog while we were away. They were very easy-going, and willing to accommodate our schedule for drop-off and pick-up. We appreciated that they were kind enough to send pictures of Riley so we could see her hanging out and having fun. Riley loved her time with Amanda and Zachary, and she misses her new best friend, Nova. We definitely hope to be back!”

“Julie took such great care of my dog! She sent photos and videos during our stay and made me feel at ease knowing my senior dog was as being taken care of and was more than happy!”


“Jenell was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my Daisy and my Vinnie. She had great communication and even went the extra mile for me when my world was crazy. She was caring and very wonderful to work with. I will be definitely asking her to care for my fur babies again!”


“Jacky and her family were great! They were able to accommodate a last minute request and made us feel very comfortable. This was our first experience using Rover and we are so happy we gave it a try. Jacky was very sweet, responsive, and sent great pictures and videos. Our pup had a great time and seemed so comfortable and happy. We will definitely use Jacky for future pet care needs!”


“Kerri is great with Jasper. She sends updates and he is a happy boy when being taken Kerri takes care of him. I especially like that there are children there and other dogs. Jasper loves to stay at Kerri’s.”


“Ronda was wonderful with my very unique pup, Chewy. I had great confidence he was well taken care of because he looked happy in all the pictures she sent. Will definitely book with her again!”
