“Morgan was amazing with penny! She was able to help us out last minute when our other boarder canceled. I highly recommend her to anyone needed boarding or dog care needs! Very clean house and professional to work with!”
“Fabulous Sitter. Attentive, capable, thorough, accommodating, and responsive, Drew has taken excellent care on 3 extended stays with Betty. There's a fourth stay in several weeks.”
“Dennis and Lynn watched our 8-month old golden retriever for just over two weeks and absolutely loved every part of their accommodations!! They even sent us daily updates and videos, took her for daily walks, played in the yard with her, and were very accommodating to us first-time “parents”; much more personal than a typical boarding situation. We will definitely be reaching out to Dennis and Lynn again if we need an overnight sitter. Thanks again!”
“Tobi is always the best. Tinker has a great time playing with her Chi friends at Tobi's house. Tobi is professional and prompt and shows up early and communicates frequently.”
“Diahann and her family are awesome! She is very professional and personable. My dog felt at home, and I know he was well taken care of. Diahann responded fast and sent plenty of updates. I will be a consistent customer!”
“Booking with Dane was very easy. He responded quickly and drop-off and pick-up were very smooth. Our flight got in late and he and his wife were very flexible with us. Boomer looked like he had a great time and has done nothing but sleep since getting home. I think he was worn out from all his fun! He even came back to us smelling great so a bath must have happened as well!”
“Kayla and Jacob took amazing care of our energetic lab. The property was great for our dog to play and explore. Their family treated our dog as one of their own, making us feel at ease while we were away for an extended time. Would definitely use again!”
“Kaylee was amazing! Simba is a senior dog and she made sure he was comfortable the whole duration of his stay, and gave updates every day. I could tell Simba was loved and really enjoyed himself. I would definitely book her again.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Dina and Irma! They took care of our dog Winston for a week while we were out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. We received daily updates with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Winston looked happy, relaxed, and clearly had a lot of fun. It was obvious he was in good hands. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!”
“Roxana & Nathan took care of my pups when I had to leave town on an emergency. They sent me pics and videos and updated me so I never had to worry. I was able to take care of my mom during her last days here and never have to worry about my fire babies. Thank you so much. It means the world to me”
“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”
“Our dog has done daycare and boarding with Ethan and it’s been a wonderful experience. He is always well cared for and gets lots of interaction and activity. We enjoy receiving photos and videos of his fun. We highly recommend Ethan :)”
“Donna was so wonderful and carrying to our dog while we were away. Our dog has a tough time adjusting to new places and new people but she did great with Donna and warmed up to her and her husband much faster than she ever has with others. I was really impressed. It will make traveling so much easier now that we have a wonderful home for our dog to stay.”
“As always we are so grateful for maafatu. Right from the start my dogs couldn’t WAIT to get out of my car and Maafatu remembered my husband and I and even our dogs names! The fact he knew both my dogs name made me feel like family! I messaged Maafatu and as always VERY RESPECTFUL AND RESPONSIVE! we love Maafatu and we will only use Maafatu! brownie and slime mom c:”
“Lena and her family are amazing! They are my dog's home away from home. He gets lots of walks and attention from the whole family. On his recent visit he stayed five nights, and it gave me so much peace of mind to see how happy and comfortable he was with Lena and her family.”
“Gisella always takes great care of my bulldog Walter. He loves going there and getting to play with Gisella’s dog Brownie. Gisella is always communicative and flexible, would 100% recommend.”
“Kirsten and her family provided a wonderful home for our Kira while we were away. We can't thank her enough for the comfort of knowing how happy Kira was staying with her, her enormous and gentle lab, Bear, and other new friends. We look forward to the next time we will be able to leave Kira for another visit.”
Gig Harbor pet parents share their Rover experiences
Shannon was amazing! What a great person & dog sitter. My older dog Stella is relaxed but has a few habits, and I’m always a little particular with who she stays with in general. From the moment we met, I know she’d be in safe hands & Shannon often sent updates/photos. I could tell she was cared for as if she was their dog! Thank you Shannon & your lovely family for providing Stella a safe, loving home 🧡🐶
Jerry was awesome and very communicative. Sending pics of my pup and providing updates throughout Vinny’s time with him. I had to book kind of last second and Jerry was very accommodating. Thanks again Jerry, will let you know if we need help when we’re back in town again.
We have a terrier who is 100 percent terrier — reactive, completely unhinged around anyone he doesn’t know, and quick to sound the alarm at other dogs or anything even slightly unusual in his environment. He’s only ever stayed with family, so we were genuinely nervous about how he’d handle being in a new home. From the meet‑and‑greet on, Janis was calm, patient, and completely unfazed by his quirks. She understood him right away. Both she and her husband were quick to understand his personality and sent updates that really showed they “got” him — not just surface‑level check‑ins, but thoughtful little details that made it clear they were paying attention to who he is and what he needs. Once he was with them, it truly felt like Fozzie was welcomed as a member of the family. That level of warmth made such a difference for a dog who struggles with new environments. They have a wonderful yard and even a dog door that Fozzie figured out how to use — something we honestly didn’t expect from a dog who usually needs time to adjust. It was clear he felt comfortable and safe with them. They also had everything he needed on hand, including a maze feeder bowl for our super‑fast eater, which showed how prepared and thoughtful they are with all kinds of dogs. Janis made a situation we were anxious about feel easy and safe. We’re really grateful for how well they handled him.
