“Ash is amazing every time I book her, and it’s so nice to not worry about my dog on trips because I have a trusted sitter that takes care of my dog as if it’s her own. Cannot wait to book again :)”


“The thought of leaving our dogs in someone else's care was a little nerve-wracking at first, but our experience with Joy & Matthew was nothing short of exceptional. We had a meet and greet in their home to make sure they were equipped to keep our dogs safe and feel them out and we immediately felt comfortable. The yard is fenced off in multiple places, it was exceptionally clean and controlled. Right away we knew caring for dogs properly was important to them. From the moment we dropped off Maya and Truffles, we knew they were in good hands. Joy and Matthew went above and beyond to ensure our dogs felt loved, comfortable, and entertained. We received regular updates and photos, which reassured us that our pups were having a blast. It was evident that they treated our dogs as if they were their own, providing the utmost care and attention. We returned to happy and healthy babies which speaks volumes about the quality of care they received. We cannot recommend Joy and Matthew highly enough and will undoubtedly be booking with them again in the future. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Maya and Truffles!”


“Thank you, Rover, for helping us to find Rachel & Christian to dog sit our Barkley and Brandi! They were great!! They kept us posted with information and pictures daily while we were away. It was a great comfort to know that their family took such loving care of our dogs! Thank you again to Rachel & Christian and your family!”


“Eric watched Harley for us for 11 days! We got lots of updates with personalized photos and videos of Harley while we were gone. Harley had a blast staying at his home! She was absolutely spoiled with walks and trips to the park. We could tell he really cared for her and we will be using him again in the future!”


“Brooke and her family were great! Izzy seemed like she had a wonderful time and got a lot of exercise. I also received updates everyday. Definitely recommend!”


“Cleve treated Daisy like the princess she is! I appreciated that he scheduled a meet and greet when I put in the request for him to get to know Daisy. She’s a senior and likes a peaceful environment where she’s the only dog. Cleve and his wife provided the exact environment she needed. The gave her plenty of attention and were conscientious about learning her routine. Cleve sent daily pictures so we could keep up with how age was doing. Cleve was also flexible when we needed one more night of boarding so we could make an early check in for our rental. I would definitely book again.”



“Richard was a great host to our dog, Rego. We appreciated the daily updates/photos! He was also more than accommodating when we ran into tire trouble on our way back and had to pick Rego up later than the initial agreed upon time. We're grateful to him for his flexibility and for keeping our girl safe and happy!”


“Dj was fantastic. Pictures were sent everyday and sent detailed updates about how they were doing. My boys looked like they really enjoyed their stay. We will definitely use Dj again in the future.”


“Heather sat for my dog and my son’s dog. Both are older dogs and love attention. Heather sent lots of pictures of the dogs over the weekend and updated me often. They were in very good hands with Heather.”



“Tea was awesome - very organized and thorough gathering our info at a meet and greet. Dublin was “right at home” and evidenced by the many pictures we received. Dublin loved his sleep over!”


“Absolutely recommend Melanie and Ryan! Daisy is well cared for and enjoys the backyard. We receive a ton of update pictures and videos throughout the stay which was amazing. 100% would recommend!!”



“We are so grateful to have found Heidi. You can tell she truly loves dogs, does an amazing job communicating and has a wonderful home. We will definitely use her again and recommend to anyone needing loving and amazing care for their dogs.”


“Gregory is the best!! He always makes sure our dog, Abby, has everything she needs for her stays. This is our second time with him and we will continue booking him! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our Abby!”



“Bob and Sharon did a wonderful job of looking after my mini-doodle Wallace. I needed to travel for work, and typically I leave Wallace with friends, so this was my first time using a dog boarding service. I found Bob and Sharon on Rover and was very taken with their profile. After I initially reached out, Bob was very quick to respond and set up a meet and greet with Wallace, their home and pups. All went extremely smoothly, and when it came time to leave for my trip, I dropped off Wallace without hesitation. During my trip Bob and Sharon texted updates and photos of Wallace each day. It was so reassuring to know that my buddy was being so well cared for and loved by Bob and Sharon. I have already recommended Bob and Sharon to other dog parents, and I will be happy to use them again in the future.”

“Toni is the best! She took such great care of Mosey, including brushing him. He was very happy at her house and barely seemed excited to see me when I picked him up. Her son was so cute when I brought him over (getting things all set up) and seems to love dogs as much as Toni. It was nice not to worry and the daily updates were perfect!”



“Wonderful person, Melissa was as professional and as nice as could be. I loved her updates and photos of Bella sent to me while I was gone. Bella was very content but probably a little nervous the first night and Melissa did everything to comfort our dog. Will use Melissa again”


“Mindy was fabulous, as always! This was our first time to leave our newest addition Norman, and he was certainly in the best of hands. I highly recommend Mindy and will welcome the chance to leave our babies with her again!”


“Thank you so much for taking care of Chicky! He was so happy and had a great time. Thank you for sending photos every day during my travels and for being flexible with pickup and drop off. I would be delighted to have you watch chicky again!”


“Kelly was fantastic. House was very pet friendly. Kelly made you feel comfortable immediately to the leave dog with her! Guinness was very well taken care of. Great communication and pictures also. We will definitely use again.”
