“Emily is a great dog sitter, I would highly recommend. I truly appreciate the daily photos and the dropping off service. Eevee seems equally as happy. Thank you Emily.”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“We could not be more pleased than to have Sally as our permanent Rover Gal! She kept us updated with photos at least twice a day and was just fantastic with Herbie. He felt at home there. We will be repeat customers with Sally.”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“Will and Bibiana were awesome. Responsive, kind, and sent photos while we were apart from our dog. Luna was clearly relaxed and well attended to in their home.”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“Nicholas and Emily are THE BEST!!!! I’m hopeful that they are available Every time I need help with dog care!! They offer a CLEAN, warm, & friendly environment for my dogs!!! They send lots of pics and updates & I trust them with my dogs 100%!!! My dogs get SO excited on the way in the car are are so happy “to go play” at. Nicholas & Emily’s!!!! Thank you guys :) !!”
“Esther thrived during her stay with Abigail! I was very pleased with her care. Abigail has a wonderful pet-friendly home and yard and she was flexible when I asked for an additional night’s stay. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren and family are so great to my beloved Rocco. I was able to be away and did not worry about his care. I knew he was in good hands which was such a peace of mind! I will be rebooking and encourage anyone who wants to be away from their pet with no worries to do so as well!”
“Our dog Gunner had such a great stay with Bill and his family. The care and attention they gave him was above and beyond. Communication was outstanding. We will definitely be using their services again to take care of our special boy.”
“Exceptional Pet Care with a Personal Touch! Mrs. Rita and Mr. Brian provided top-notch care for my 100lb dog. They went above and beyond to ensure she had a wonderful time, even taking extra steps to help her interact with other dogs. Their thoughtful approach and ability to adapt to my dog s needs made me feel confident and comfortable leaving her in their care in the last several months! Their kindness, attention to detail, and clear communication (complete with photos!) make them outstanding pet sitters. I'm so grateful for their care and look forward to booking them again!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“John, Shannon and their family took such good care of my pup while I was in vacation. They sent pictures and videos all throughout which was so nice. Crew was in such good hands. I could just tell how much fun he had while he was there. This family made it so much easier on me to leave my dog for a week and im so thankful to them and the love they showed my baby Crew.”
“Liwei was absolutely incredible! She sent frequent updates and clearly took amazing care of our two dogs. Both our pups have anxiety but Liwei and her daughter made sure they knew all the things our dogs needed to feel safe and comfortable for their week stay. We highly recommend her service to others and would absolutely request her help again in the future when needed.”
“Kelsey was amazing at keeping us informed and taking wonderful care of our pups! It was our first trip away from them so I think we were more nervous, but really had no reason! Plenty of pics to show our dogs were in safe hands. We’re so happy we found her and look forward to having Ozzy and Sammy with her again! Thank you!!!”
“This was my first time booking through Rover and it was a wonderful experience for both myself and Brutis. Loni answered all my questions beforehand. Her confidence and knowledge allowed me to feel very comfortable leaving Brutis in her care. She sent several updates and pictures. Honestly, I think Brutis misses the fun and extra attention he received while staying with Loni and her family.”
“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”

Samantha was very responsive and kept me updated. She has a beautiful home and well-maintained yard. Her two dogs got along well with Freyja during the stay, however there was an incident that resulted in Freyja (my dog) having a bite mark on her stout due to rough play. From my understanding, it was simply an accident but definitely something to consider when having large dogs all together. I will continue to keep using Samantha and very happy with the stay!
