“Johanna was awesome! She was super communicative and easy going. I know Louis loved staying with her and Panda, and I would absolutely have her watch him again.”


“Andy was great watching my 2 French Bulldogs at his home. was responsive during my booking and it was easy to coordinate drop off and pick up. He sent lots of photos each day of the stay. I would recommend Andy as a reliable sitter. Thank you!”


“We are truly thankful to Michael for taking care of our dog while we traveled. She clearly had a great time and we appreciated the regular messages and photos of walks during her stay. Thanks Michael!”


“Anne Marie was so great with Chespi! She was available to do a meet n greet before our time although she was extremely busy. My dog doesn't always cuddle with a sitter on the first night, which assumedly means she's trustworthy and caring. I'll definitely rebook again.”


“Chad and Regina were great caretakers for my small dog. This was my first time using them and I will definitely book with them again. I appreciated the regular updates and communication through my trip!”


“Erin took great care of our senior dog for over a week! We felt very good about leaving him with her, and would definitely board with her again in the future.”


“Leonard and Kathryn are the absolute greatest dog sitters that we’ve ever had! We’ve used their services twice, and have never seen our two boys so happy during their stay there. Leonard made sure to always keep us informed of how our two pups were doing. He sent us daily pictures of our pitbull Meaty and our Daschund Ike enjoying long trail walks by their house, and pictures of them enjoying a nice snooze on their couch and with their family. I am always nervous to send Ike to boarding as he has some behavioral issues, but Leonard and his family were great at giving Ike the space, time, and love, he needed to adjust while we were away. His two girls were incredible with Ike, and he always looked so happy in the pictures with them. This is a top notch boarding place for any parent who needs a place for their dogs to be watched. Your dogs will get fun walks, cuddle time, and constant attention. 5/5 stars and would absolutely recommend! Nicest family I’ve ever met on Rover!”


“Morgan was great and Coco definitely had a great time! She sent lots of cute pictures and was flexible with meeting ahead of time, drop off and pick up. I would book again! Thanks!”


“Alejandro is amazing! He is very knowledgeable about dogs and treats them like his own. I definitely plan to use him again and I would highly recommend him for your dog.”


“Debbie had so much fun at Haydenn’s! He sent videos and pictures of her having a blast playing with his dog and other new friends. When we picked her up, Debbie seemed sad to leave Haydenn.”


“Luna had a great time! She came back happy and content and I felt at ease knowing that she was well cared for. Stephanie was great to send pictures and keep in touch while Luna was with her.”


“Sky did a great job keeping me updated throughout my dog’s stay. I have a small/young dog, so I was a little worried about having her stay with a sitter, but Sky did wonderfully!”


“Brianne was great with my dog. She was conscientious and communicative, and I appreciated her location and timing flexibility when our flight was delayed. Would definitely book again.”


“Nicole was amazing! She has been a great communicator, took pictures of my dog and some of those are my favorites of my doggo right now, and when she thought my dog might have an injury she let me know to call to see what I felt the next steps were. My princess looked so happy within Nicole’s care and she had fun with the other pups too. Thank you Nicole!”


“Bridgid was phenomenal. Our dog is standoffish with new people, but by the end of two days with Bridgid he didn’t want to leaver her. Her years of dog ownership really show and she projects calm, confidence, and flexibility. She handled a complex med schedule like a champ and truly went above and beyond. She may be new to Rover, but don’t let that fool you - she is truly one of the best you will find.”



“Galen was great! She watched our anxious and reactive pup for the weekend. She was very patient, calm and knowledgeable and was able to work with our pup over the weekend and make him comfortable! She was communicative and professional. Highly Recommend!”


“Natalie and Edward took great care of Buju. They sent pictures daily and were easy to communicate with throughout Buju’s stay with their family. From what I could tell, our dog was treated as their own and he was safe and happy at pick up.”


“Absolute best care of our pets and our home. Our dog and 2 cats were happy to see us when we returned from vacation and showed no signs of stress. Our home was in great shape too. We are so pleased. We highly recommend Christine.”


“Absolutely wonderful experience with Brett and Shane! They took such great care of our dog, kept us updated with regular messages, and sent tons of adorable photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
