“Kim was excellent with our high energy puppy. She provided a ton of pictures and gave her a lot of playtime outside! I would highly recommend Kim and plan on using her again in the future!”
“We left our pup, George, with Jacob for a week and while we were anxious about leaving him for so long, Jacob put our minds at ease with updates and photos. Jacob truly cares about the dogs in his care and helped make our family vacation even better knowing George was in good hands.”
“Chisato treated Casper and Gracie like they were members of her own family. She constantly kept us in the loop of their daily goings on with many pictures and movies! Casper and Gracie were having such a good time, I don't think they wanted to come home.😊”
“Megan was very welcoming and accommodated some last-minute travel plans and made Copper feel right at home. He also got along well with her three pups. He enjoyed having a fenced in backyard where he could run around and play. Thank you!”
“Byron and his family were excellent hosts and did a wonderful job keeping Gilbert happy. From the minute I dropped Gilbert off, I knew he would be in good hands. I was kept updated throughout the week with pics and texts, and he answered any questions I had promptly and with assurance. I will definitely have Gilbert board with Byron the next time I need to, and would recommend him as a top sitter.”
“Mary and Norm are the best! This was my dog’s first time staying with someone that wasn’t a friend or family so I was a little nervous. Mary sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was away and that put my mind and heart at ease. She was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to my messages. They are a wonderful couple and I wouldn’t want my dog staying with anyone else in the future . Highly recommend!!”
“Tyrone and Lexus seemed to enjoy their stay with Angela and Dave. They also have Honey and Bella to redirect the little furbabies. Thank you for accomodating aloof Tyrone and clingy LexusI The daily pictures and update, calmed the “hooman dogparents” as well? We will do it again with Angela.”
“A thousand stars. Kelsey helped me out in a pinch. Lovely and inviting personality, lovely and inviting home. Very flexible -- (wasn't sure when, exactly, I would complete my 1000 mile drive, and drop off my goober dog). Benny was instantly comfortable with Kelsey even though we hadn't had time for a meet and greet. Kelsey kept me in touch with how he was doing in general, and checked in with me when she detected a brief limp. REALLY STELLAR experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.”
“Anna, took really great care of our Golden Retriever, Beau! I was pleased the find her taking him for a walk when I called to pick him up early. We appreciate her flexibility and love for dogs!”
“Edwin and his wife were amazing! It was our puppy’s first time being boarded while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The home is so lovely, with a nice fenced yard for playtime. We got many pics and videos of our pup, who had a great time at Edwin’s. Thank you!”
“We had a great experience with Norma. She is very capable and flexible. She was able to give me piece of kind while she cared for our large dog. She did a great job sending updates, photos and videos. I would highly recommend Norma and will have her watch my dog again.”
“Thanks to Rusty, I was at ease traveling for a few days with the dogs in his care. Rusty has a dog-friendly space indoors and out and was attentive to the dogs’ individual personality traits and needs. This was the first time I’ve left them with a sitter and both dogs responded well and appeared comfortable. It’s a huge relief to know that Rusty is available to care for my dogs if I need to be away.”
“We couldn’t be more pleased, and we feel relieved and grateful to have found Stella and her family. We love receiving her photos and updates, and the pickup and drop off process is seamless.”
“Our dog Toto is a pitbull/mastiff mix. Ariana had absolutely no problem with our 70 pound baby. I received tons of pictures and updates. She was so amazing with our dog that I will defintely use her again. Cannot give her enough praise for how AMAZING she was. Toto loved every second of his visit. Thank you again!”
“Elisa seems to be a devoted person who takes care of dogs with love. Thank you so much for taking care of the dog carefully so that he doesn't feel any separation anxiety for 2 nights and 3 days away from our family. Thanks again!!”
Gages Lake dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kim took really good care of my dogs. She constantly provided me with videos of them playing in her yard and updates on their feeding schedule and esting habits. My 2 dogs seem to have had a great time staying at her home for a few days. I will definitely book her again in the future.
We were very happy working with Jacob to board our pup Hudson! We received consistent updates and photos during his stay and Jacob was very quick to respond before/ during his stay. We love seeing the different parts of Hudson’s day indoors/ outdoors/ playing with new friends. We will work with Jacob again!
Our experience was wonderful. Our dog had the best time staying with Jordan, getting lots of love, interactions, and playtime. Jordan made it really easy for us to have a relaxing vacation, knowing that our dog was taken care of. Our pup (and family) is so glad to have found a new friend!
Jennifer and Aaron had been a great hosts to Pepper and their dog was a fantastic playmate to Pepper. They took good care of Pepper like their own. Pepper comes home very happy and energetic. We definitely will use Jennifer and Aaron again Peppers next boarding. Thank you so much to both of them.
Yolanda and her Husband are great. Hunter felt right at home and loved. They asked for suggestions when needed and assisted when I suggested hand feeding cuz hunter wouldn't eat. I was able to go camping and know hunter was being cared for like he was home with his momma. They even provided picture updates. Will definitely recommend and return.
