“This was our first time working with Jenny and she did an absolutely AMAZING job taking care of our sweet Dogen. Jenny is a fantastic communicator and is really committed to making sure that the dog's needs are met. She asked a lot of great questions to ensure that Dogen had a comfortable stay. Jenny sent a lot of great photos and Dogen had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend Jenny to others and we will back in the future. Thanks Jenny - you are the best!”
“Anna took the best care of Cooper. I could tell he felt loved and right at home. I loved seeing photos and videos of him playing with her dogs! She was very flexible and communicative! I look forward to her watching Cooper in the future.”
“Kayla and Adam were wonderful hosts for our little Bonnie! This was Bonnie’s first time staying anywhere without us, but Kayla and Adam obviously love dogs and were simply great with her. Kayla sent reports with pictures several times a day, putting our minds at ease. And the fact that our dog, a very nervous and picky eater, was relaxed enough to eat on her first day told us very clearly that she was doing fine and felt at home with Kayla and her family. Thank you Kayla and Adam - we’ll be back!!”
“Shayla was amazing! She was very responsive and flexible with my schedule and made sure Zoey had plenty of exercise and was comfortable. I can tell Zoey was happy and definitely would take her back.”
“Russ and his family were great. He had a big yard for him and the other dogs to roam around in and he even took Shiner for his daily walks when the weather was good. I got alot of pictures and videos which I could see the smile on my fur baby's face. Will definitely use him again.”
“Nothing but positive things to say about this stay. Great communication, daily photos, accommodating pickup/drop-off time, and reassurance that Mochi will be well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Terez was great, I have a special needs dog and she did so good taking of him. She clearly loves dogs and has a kind way about her with them. Highly recommend her service. She provided regular feedback on the stay and sent some cute pictures of my guy looking comfortable with her”
“Absolutely amazing sitters! The ranch is an absolute joy for the pup and they have been so accommodating to Parker! Great communication and took great care of my pup.”
“I was out of the country for 10 days. Usually friends or family watch my dog, so I was a little nervous about using Rover. I booked with Jizelle, and she was wonderful from the first message through pick-up. She was responsive, communicative, attentive, and accommodating. I felt relaxed and reassured the entire trip I was gone. Her dogs are great too! I highly recommend her and would book again!”
“Nina continues to be awesome!! She let us know day by day how Winston was doing and anything she noticed. She takes such good care of him, and I always feel comfortable leaving him with her!!”
“Jess was amazing to work with! Very prompt with communication, provides updates and pictures during care and gave my doodle the best care and stay. Thank you Jess!”
“Julia took wonderful care of our dog, Mimi, and communicated frequently and shared many photos. Julia has a large yard for dogs to run around in and from the photos shared, our dog was comfortable hanging out with Julia! We will book Julia again for boarding!”
“Marlene was a fantastic and wonderful pet sitter for our fur baby, Sasha! She made this first experience of leaving our pet so smooth and easy. Marlene kept us updated with photos throughout the day. Marlene’s dog Pedrita, was friendly too and our fur babies had some fun walks. Sasha enjoyed lounging and sun bathing in front of Marlene’s floor to ceiling windows in her apartment which it’s also super pet friendly. Thank you Marlene for treating Sasha as your own pet with lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and walks too. We look forward to booking with Marlene again!”
“India was absolutely the best caretaker of my boy for the weekend! She sent frequent updates and really treated him like her own. Even sent him home with a goodie bag of treats! I am looking forward to booking her again!”
“Amanda was a great help to my family. She was very responsive to messages and scheduling our "Meet & Greet" session. She kept me updated with photos during the days of boarding. At pickup time, car would not start due to dead battery. Amanda was kind enough to drop our dog back at home. 5 out of 5 gold star service.”

Erin watched our dog, Penny, for 10 days while we were out of town. I asked to meet her and her pups before arranging such a long stay and she encouraged it :) This set my mind at ease being able to meet in person first. At drop off, I shared I was feeling a bit anxious leaving Penny for a longer stay and Erin offered to communicate often. Each day, she touched base with me at least once with pictures, videos, and messages about how Penny was doing. This made me feel so much better and allowed me to enjoy my trip. Thanks Erin!
CJ was absolutely fantastic with my dog! Having never left my pet with anyone besides family, I was quite nervous. After searching through countless sitters, I chose CJ, and I couldn't have made a better decision. He provided daily photos and updates, and the overall vibe was just perfect! My dog looked so comfortable that I wondered if she would even want to come home! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!
I had an amazing experience with Maya!!! She was incredible kind, reliable and attentive throughout the time my sky was with her. I really appreciated how quick she responded whenever I checked in, a the updates gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my sky was cared for and loved. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!!!
Hanna and Fabio are Peanut Butter’s favorites and took excellent care of him. We received timely updates and felt very comfortable leaving our pup in their care. Fabio really went above and beyond and worked with our schedule to accommodate pick up and drop offs and we really appreciate their flexibility. Thanks for everything!
