“If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We just had our black lab Jake stay with Tammy and John for a week and we could not have loved his care more. We received daily pictures, videos and updates showing him having the time of his life. He is high energy and they wore this guy out 😂 They exceeded our expectations and he was extremely spoiled and loved. 1000% recommend and we will be bringing Jake back. Thank you Tammy and John so so much!!”
“Our Boon loved being at Talisha’s, especially with his buddy Jack! Finally a dog his size to play with. I can already tell he misses him. Open communication and pictures from Talisha was the best. We love seeing Boon having fun! The Rae-Pederson Family”
“Brandy and her family did a wonderful job taking care of my dog! Photos every day! My dog is a geriatric with special needs and he was very well taken care of. I would definitely use them again!”
“Jackie and her family were so great to meet, they were all there to have the dogs meet each other and my dog who is 4 months went right over and started playing with Brownie. Jackie was very caring, asked all about Penny and her routine ahead of time, once we met and the dogs were playing I didn't worry at all about leaving her. She also sent many updates and pictures, and Penny even went in the dog pool right away. My dog slept for 2 days after coming back home, that is how much playing and fun she had!”
“This was my first ever experience leaving my dog with someone I wasnt familiar with. Michelle was perfect. I never had a second of worry and it was fantastic seeing so many photos of my dog being so happy and having a great time. 100% will be back when we have another trip. The rating is only 5 stars but shes a 10 star person 100%”
“Patricia and Patrick were great with Franklin when he stayed for an extended weekend, they treated him like he was part of their family. From morning walkies to pup cups, the priority was having fun with the dog while he was visiting. Excellent communicators and sent regular updates so we would know what they were up to. Coordinating the meet & greet, pickup, and drop off all went very smoothly. I would definitely rebook with them.”
“Mark and Marie did a wonderful job getting our old girl Sasha to feel comfortable and safe. I had never left her with anyone but family before so I was worried until our first meet and greet. She was so comfortable right from the start. The pictures they sent while we were gone showed she had a great time! We will definitely use them in the future.”
“Pauli and Dom were great!! They were able to take Milo on very short notice for the Holiday weekend. We felt at ease as soon as we met and saw the area that they have for the dogs...the backyard is like heaven for an animal! We got lots of picture updates throughout our time away which was so reassuring! I'm sure Milo didn't want to come back but when he got home, he was a tired and happy dog!”
“Anna was wonderful ...Maile looked better than when we left him. He was a bit tired probably from having dog friends to play with and a yard. All positive....we will be boarding with Anna again when she is available.”
“Dogs really enjoy themselves here! It’s an open, welcoming atmosphere where dogs can play and socialize with the other pups. I love a good environment that’s comfortable for both dogs and children, and this place fits right in. They have a big backyard for the dogs to run and burn off energy, and overall it seemed like a perfect fit for ours. They’re also very communicative and send pictures, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Lisa took excellent care of my puppers! She was a godsend since my other sitter had to cancel a few days before my trip due to a family emergency. It was also my first time using Rover for booking both sitters - so it was a little stressful for me! But Lisa was great and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my dog was being well taken care of. Thank you soo much!!”
“This was my first time using this app and I was a little skeptical but Amy was absolutely amazing to deal with and treated my dog like her own I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her service in the future.”
“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!”
“Our dog had a great time with Luke and Rachel. This was our first time leaving him with anyone but family and they made us feel he was safe and well cared for. We loved seeing photos of what he was up to and hearing that he had a good weekend. We are excited to have him stay again in the future!!”
“Jennifer was an absolute lifesaver for us and an incredible dog sitter. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages about our baby girl Reeba, which put my mind completely at ease. It's clear she has a genuine love for animals. It was such a comfort also to know Reeba was calm, and she even got extra playtime and snuggles with the kids. Reeba seemed completely relaxed and happy in the pictures Jen sent. We can't recommend Jennifer and her family enough , we will definitely be booking with her again for our future trips!”
