Danielle was amazing with our cat, Kinako! This was her first time being away from home, but it was very obvious from the pictures and updates that she was in great hands. It was also her first time being around so many other pets, but they were very sweet with her and she seemed surprisingly at ease :) We're excited to book with Danielle again whenever we're out of town!

We had some unexpected complications during our time and Haley handled them with so much graciousness! She was great at communicating and being accommodating. My dog was absolutely the most comfortable she has been with any sitter. We are grateful for the personal care our dog received with Haley!

I cannot recommend her enough! She watched Otis for 2 nights and treated him like he was her own. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. She sent me lots of updates and photos, which meant so much and made being away from my boy so much easier. You could genuinely tell how much love and attention he was getting the whole time. He came home happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly loving with animals, she is absolutely the person to book. I would 100% use her again!

This was a first for us and our boy Cam. Deb and Ralph were the perfect people to have as our first pet sitter. After the settle in period between Cam and Deb and Ralph it seems like all went smooth. Deb sent us a few pics and kept us updated on how our boy was doing. They were a very nice couple with plenty of room for our active boy. We highly recommend using Deb and Ralph. We will be using them again. Thanks Rover.com for having a great site that we can use when we need a couple days of R&R and a quick get away. Thanks Deb and Ralph and Cam is looking forward to his next stay with y’all.

Rebecca was the best! She was so flexible in meeting me to drop off/pick up my dog, and I could tell that my dog loved spending time with her. She was smiling and wagging her tail when I picked her up and I know she had the best time. She sent photos throughout her stay and kept me in the loop. If I ever need someone to watch Willow again I know who to contact. Thank you!

Jo is a wonderful dog sitter! She cared for our shy rescue Cavalier Maggie who has some PTSD tendencies due to being raised in a puppymill overbreeding environment. Within minutes of arriving, Maggie was going to Jo and getting petted. Jo is attentive and caring. Nice home and fenced yard area. Maggie was well cared for by Jo and Kayla. Received daily pics and updates too. Definitely will hire Jo again and highly recommend her!

Beth had my 2 boys for a week and took such good care of them. She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent photos. She is a wonderful caregiver. I'm so glad I found someone I can trust and not worry when I leave them.

I am incredibly thankful to have discovered Joe! As someone who travels frequently, finding quality care for my dog can be an overwhelming experience. After some research, I decided to give Rover a try and stumbled upon Joe's profile. After reading the glowing reviews, I reached out to him, and I'm so glad I did! From the moment I contacted Joe, he was warm, friendly, and had a great sense of humor that immediately put me at ease. I ended up booking a four-day stay for my dog, Elsa, and it turned out to be a fantastic decision. Ironically, I found out that a friend of mine also knew him, which made me feel even more comfortable. When I picked up Elsa after her stay, I was amazed by how relaxed and happy she was. Typically, she can be anxious after a change in environment, but this time was different. She was bright, cheerful, and completely stress-free. In fact, when I dropped her off, she seemed so comfortable with Joe that she didn’t even notice I was gone! I've already scheduled more time for Elsa with Joe, and I can confidently say he will be my go-to caregiver from now on. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and creates a loving environment for your pets, Joe is the one! Highly recommended!

Jenesis made our trip more enjoyable by letting us know our Walter was well cared for. Jenesis answered all our questions we had ahead of time confidently. She also sent pictures and videos periodically. Walter had a good time while staying with Jenesis and adjusted well to being back at home. I would recommend Jenesis to anyone who asked.

Pamela was wonderful! She met our pups before her stay and I could tell immediately that she confident and comfortable around dogs. Our normally hesitant pups wanted all her attention, no questions asked right at hello. Over her stay in our home with our pups she did all the things we would do with them if not more since all her focus was on them for the weekend. I would definitely recommend Pamela to other and would love to have her back again. I came home to happy and content pups.

Alexandra and Logan were wonderful with my (sometimes overly) curious terrier, Eddie! I am always concerned about Eddie escaping to chase an animal, and they took my concerns seriously and took steps to ensure that wouldn't happen. Their fence setup was great too - the fenced-in yard wraps all the way around the house, so even if a dog slipped out of the house, they would still be in the yard. On top of that, they sent lots of pictures and were so kind to Eddie. He didn't want to leave!

We are absolutely thrilled with the care Ashley provided for Tilly while we were away. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for dogs made our trip so much more relaxing, knowing Tilly was in good hands. Ashley went above and beyond, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any pet owner looking for top-notch boarding services. Thank you, Ashley, for treating Tilly like part of your family!

Our German Shepherd loved his stay. He was much more relaxed than in a kennnell with all the walks and one on one special treatment in a calm, quiet and spacious house with a fenced in back yard. I loved how caring they were and what terrific questions they asked ahead of time.
