“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“We live a good distance from family, and typically make the drive home before weekend adventures or getaways to make sure our eight year old Irish Wolfhound mix is in great hands while we’re away. After a move brought our home base closer to central PA, we were a little unsure about finding a dog sitter closer to us, but after meeting Allison and her sidekick, Sadie, I couldn't be more grateful! From our very first meet and greet, Allison put us - and our guy - at such ease and Obie loved having a playmate. You can tell almost immediately how much she genuinely cares for the dogs staying with her. Her space is very dog friendly, and as an added bonus, her "house rules" are the same as our house, which makes things so easy. She was so kind to send lots of pictures during our guy's stay. Seeing how happy he was in each picture made it clear we’ve found a gem in Allison. Thank you, Allison! Obie can't wait to see you and Sadie again soon.”
“Sowmya was fantastic! Arlo loved him and his dog buddy right away, and I felt totally at ease while away. Great communication, updates with pictures, and lots of care. Will definitely book him again.”
“Steffany and Juan were wonderful! Super easy to set up dropoff and pickup as well as they were able to watch our pup Rooney on short notice! They sent us lots of photos of Rooney playing with their pups too! We will be using them again!”
“Can't say enough about how well our dog was cared for when we left him to go on a quick getaway. The communication is excellent and we will definitely be leaving our pup again. Thanks so much, Pam and Michael!”
“Jacob was the absolute best with Benji. Our regular sitter was out of town and on short notice, Jacob saved the weekend for us. Right away from drop-off I had a sense of calm and peace with Jacob, his pets, and his beautiful backyard. Jacob sent pictures while away that showed Benji fitting right in with his new friends. I'll gladly use Jacob's services again and he really helped put our mind at ease!”
“Anton and family took care of Benji as their own family member. I knew it was a good fit when Benji went right in the house when I dropped him off. This is Benji’s second home when I need daycare and boarding.”
“Brooke and her family took excellent care of Micah while we were away for an entire week. They gave him plenty of exercise and affection. She kept us posted everyday with pictures and a brief summary of their day. Brooke is also extremely organized and left little doubt that Micah was in good hands. I would highly recommend her the next time you're considering using Rover!”
“Jack was ready and waiting for Violet when we arrived. He even had his own pets put away so she could meet them after we left instead of overwhelming her when we first dropped her off. He sent daily pictures so we could see she was doing well and enjoying her stay as well as enjoying her new doggie friends. When we arrived to pick her up he had her and all her things ready. Violet had a great time and I know we’ll use Jack again if he’s available. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like his own.”
“Makeda had a great time at hanging out with Mandeep and her family. She was very tired when she came home. Judging from the updates sent, there was no shortage of excitement and action. Mandeep's help was quick to respond and we were able to reach a suitable plan for drop off and pick up. I hope to call on Mandeep's help again should the need arise.”
“Judith and George took fantastic care of our Daisy. She settled in well after investigating her surroundings. Found her cuddle spot with George on his lap. Our Daisy does well in a slower paced home where she can be the center of attention. This is exactly what she got with her stay this weekend with them. Judith and George are lovely and have plenty of pet experience. They won't disappoint. I highly recommend them.”
“The most outstanding sitters of all time. They truly took care of my dog like he was their own, gave me constant updates and always made sure my dog felt comfortable happy and healthy no matter what the extent. They really out did themselves! :)”
“Tamara was great with my dog Sully while I went out of town for a week! She kept me updated with pictures and how he was doing each day. He can sometimes be a little shy in new places but he seemed to fit right in :) thanks so much!”
“Brionna was very responsive and kind. What a sweet young lady. She watched our new pup last minute and she loved it there. Nice yard for dogs to play. She sent pictures almost daily with updates on how she was doing. Very communicative and kind. I would most definitely use her again. I recommend her to anyone who is having a hard time deciding to leave their pup for vacation. I was worried at first until I got to her house. Her husband and her were inviting and sweet. Thanks Brionna.”
“Our Puppers just loved hanging out with Kathy! Tucker become her lap dog and Daisy made herself right at home in her well puppy proofed home. They loved their time outside with her and watching squirrels from her back patio window. We will definitely use her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Great service!!! Great personality! Sent pictures and videos. Lu Lu seemed happy and very well cared for when we picked her up. Would definitely recommend her and will book with her again.”
“Julia did such a great job! She gave us great update how Chloe was doing. Julia has a beautiful property that is wide open place perfect for running dogs. We will use her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Julia!”
“Camilla is very kind and I could tell she really cared about Winston. She was very accommodating and agreed to extend his original stay. We will definitely ask her to watch Winston the next time we go away.”
