“Morgan was quick to respond when I had questions before and during his stay. She also sent pictures of him. Dante had a great stay based on his tail wags! He even howled his goodbyes to his new friends! He was well loved and we will definitely call Morgan for another stay with her and her family.”
“Thank you Ann for taking such good care of our girl Bailey. She looked so relaxed and contented in all the pics you sent. Will definitely remember you for future trips.”
“I’ve used a number of Rover hosts over the years, and I have to say that Dee has been the best. She unquestionably cared for my dog. She kept me updated with how his stay was going, and we had a blast at Dollywood without concern for my dog (who has major separation anxiety).”
“Cassy was amazing with our old dog, Bailee! She made sure Bailee felt safe and at home. Bailee came home happy and relaxed. Happy to have found Cassy and will be using her again!”
“Viviana was so quick to respond and accommodating to our last minute request to watch our baby Mali. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated multiple times a day! Mali came back to us safe and sound, happy as can be and tired from all of the running room and pond swimming! Highly recommend Viviana!!”
“Kristy was amazing with my big boy! He’s certainly not easy, and she welcomed him into her home with open arms. She handled his size and temper tantrums with ease! If she can handle Klaus, you can definitely trust her with your baby ?”
“Elizabeth is absolutely AMAZING!!! We had a last minute change of plans and needed to board our pups over thanksgiving and she was quick to respond and accept the reservation. She not only came out to greet us, she helped me get both dogs and their things out of the car. Throughout the week she sent us constant updates of their shenanigans with both cute and funny pictures of them. I asked for a specific photo of one dog for instagram and she did a whole little photo shoot! Pretty much every day she took them to the greenway down the road for 1-2 mile walks and even helped work on their leash manners. If you need your dog boarded with someone you know you can trust, book with Elizabeth. We will be using her every time we go back to the mountains!!!”
“Kelly was so kind to Ein! When we had plans our meet and greet, she listened to everything I said about Ein and asked questions that made me feel comfortable about leaving Ein with her. I received pictures on my trip and she stayed in contact. This is my first time using Rover, and I feel that I have found the first and only pet sitter that I'll need for any trip I'll be taking from now on. Kelly really did me a service and I'm so lucky to have picked the right person for the job.”
“My sweet girl loves coming here. She was so excited when we pulled up! She was ready to go inside and play! She did not act like that when I took her to a traditional boarding place. So grateful for Ryan and his family. They also stay in great contact so I never have to worry about what Annie is doing. Always my first choice!”
“Riley enjoyed her stay with Joe! (As I expected she would.) He was very attentive to her needs and needs. They liked to take walks and watch the same flicks on tv, while chilling on the couch with his hand scratching her head just how she likes it. I picked him because he is retired and could give her the 1:1 attention that she craves. He kept me updated and I felt very comfortable with leaving my little miss in his capable hands. She will be back for more stays in the future. Joe, Riley thanks you too!”
“Bailey and Alex were absolutely amazing!! We received pictures and updates daily and she was very quick to respond to messages! We will absolutely be booking with them again!! I highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs!”
“BOOK WITH TRACY! Tracy took the best care of my sweet Sadie. She was a last minute life saver and it was so nice knowing my dog was well taken care of. If you’re remotely close to her location she is worth the distance to have her watch your pet. ❤️”
“Bethany was awesome!! She was extremely flexible on drop-off/pick-up times for us, and our 7mo. old puppy could not have come home any happier! Our dog had fun playing with Bethany's dogs, plus she sent us updates while we were away and even a video of our pup acting silly. Perhaps most telling, when we pulled in the driveway to pick our dog up, we could see her cuddled up on the couch with Bethany, getting petted and looking as happy as can be. Overall, we would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to watch their dog!”
“Tami and her team/family welcomed my pup into their home, pampered him as only I thought I was capable and kept him out of trouble for three nights. Amazing! She fit us into an already tight schedule, was flexible with my drop-off & pick-up times, was inquisitive about his routines, sleeping arrangements, potty schedule, etc, and she seemed genuinely happy to do so. While I was away I received updates multiple times a day letting me know what was going on with photos of my pup. I stayed in a 4.5 star hotel; my dog stayed in a 5. I would re-book in a heartbeat without hesitation.”
“Melissa was awesome! I know my two pups were well cared for and loved on while staying with her. She sent updates and sent us home with a kind note documenting their weekend. We will definitely trust our dogs with her again!”
“Avonlea watched our German Shepard, Raven and did a great job taking care of her! Would recommend booking them to watch your dogs! They have 2 yards, both fenced which allowed our high energy dog to run around and have fun.”
