1. Jackie R.
“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!”
2. Curtis H.
“Curtis has an unusual set-up -- a fixer-up house under repairs and remodeling. His open door policy into an enclosed backyard with a mini-jungle of tall vegetation along the back side our dog's dream. Curtis was flexible and attentive to our dog's particular needs and personality and seemed to radiate "good vibes" to her. She (our dog) did not whimper when I dropped off her even though we hadn't even been able to schedule a Meet 'n Greet. And I have to say I was a little disappointed when I picked her up because her greeting was less wildly enthusiastic than it usually is when we leave her with someone -- this is a good sign.”
3. Anna L.
“Anna took great care of our dog. First time using Rover and would highly recommend Anna! Cade was happy and hungry (which is a good sign!) when he came home. Anna is a great communicator and sends picture updates twice a day. Thank you Anna! We will definitely recommend and use your services again!”
4. Patricia & Patrick B.
“When my plans for my 10-day vacation fell through, I was incredibly stressed about finding a place for my dog to stay. Fortunately, I happened upon Patti and Patrick and after speaking with them my worries vanished. It is clear that they both are dog lovers and will be sure to spoil your furry four legged friends as much as you spoil them. The first night I received a picture of Lola lounging on the couch with Patti and Lola looked so at ease that she may have been actually smiling. This was of great comfort to mea and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Lola was being attentively cared for by Patti & Patrick.”
5. Lisa M.
“Lisa helped us out last minute with dog sitting when our other sitter fell through and she was great!! Very responsive and even sent us pictures of Briggs. He came home a very happy pup thanks to Lisa and Dukey!!”
6. Katrina S.
“Katrina and family did a wonderful job watching our Sam. I think he was a little sad to leave and come home because he had such a good time. Katrina did a wonderful job keeping us updated with daily notes and pictures. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone. ”
7. Timothy C.
“Tim took the best care of our dogs while we were out of town. The regular updates and photos were so nice to receive! Our pups were very well loved while we were gone and we felt 100% at ease. When we got home they were calm and happy. We would absolutely choose Tim again in the future!”
8. Amy N.
“Amy was great! This was my first time having someone watch my dog besides my parents so I was very nervous about leaving my pup with someone new. I received pictures daily and when I arrived to pick her up she was so happy and wanted to show me all the toys she's been playing with all week. She can't wait to stay with Amy and Danielle again!”
9. Maia H.
“Maia & family is a favorite for our Aussie-Sheppard. We had a need for temporary meds (morning & evening) which they managed excellently. It was a longer stay for us & it went smoothly.”
10. Michelle D.
“Michelle was amazing! We were apprehensive about leaving our puppy for the first time, but Michelle reassured us that he would do great! She kept us updated with pictures and videos everyday. Our puppy especially enjoyed romping around on her land. Now we don’t have to worry about leaving our puppy; we know he will be well taken care of. I would highly recommend Michelle!”
11. Ashley & Patrick D.
“Ashley and Pat were great with our dog, Snoopy. We got daily updates and photos of his adventures with their dogs. They were very flexible, especially when our plans changed at the last minute and we had to pick Snoopy up early.”
12. Shelly C.
“Once again, Shelly did an amazing job with my little Rocky. She was very communicative and always does a great job with photos. Thank you Shelly!”
13. Brandy & Chad F.
“Brandy and Chad did a great job with my dog! They sent updates and seemed to thoroughly enjoy having him there at their house. My dog is geriatric and had some special needs, and they did a great job!”
14. Russell & Linda C.
“Russell and Linda were very accommodating. They took care of my dogs for a long trip I had. They also have a fenced-in yard which is nice for my dogs to run. One of my dogs was having separation anxiety as it's the first time he's away from me for multiple days. He was barking a lot because of the anxiety, and they were understandable of him and consoled him. I'm really thankful for their help.”
15. Talishia S.
“Talishia was amazing. She was flexible, had GREAT communication, and took great care of the dogs. Sending them to her made for an easy stress free weekend and wasn’t an issue of finding care like it typically is.”
16. Lauren & Jacob G.
“Lauren and Jacob are amazing! This was the first time using this service and I had no worries about my dogs when we were gone. They took excellent care of them and gave us fun updates with videos and pictures!”
17. Ronda D.
“Ronda was great taking care of our precious Layla. She provides a great loving environment which makes it a lot easier to leave our dog with no worries. She sent 5 pictures in the 7 day vacation span we were so grateful for the updates. We would highly recommend Ronda and will use her again for Layla’s care in the future.”
18. Kyle T.
“Did a great job with our dog, gave regular updates of how things were going, and sent pictures. Kyle was also quick and responsive with questions and communication. Overall, great stay for our dog!”
19. Ami & Chase R.
“Thank you for taking such great care of our dog while we were gone! He came home tired and happy. I'm sure he will miss playing with Moose and your kids. We will definitely be in contact for future trips!”
