Nicole and her family took great care of my dog. I received lots of pictures and even a video of him. I will definitely use them again! Knowing he's getting attention really eases my mind since he is the baby of our family. Thank you Nicole!

This was my first time using Rover so I was little nervous. However, Alex and his girlfriend were SO nice and helpful! They responded very quickly when I texted them and they were sure to send me pictures. I even asked them very last minute to keep my dog another night and they were more than willing to. I loved that they have a fenced in back yard too. Definitely would recommend them!

We absolutely loved having our Weimaraner, Hollis stay with Jacquelyn and her family! We felt so comfortable leaving her and Hollis enjoyed her time with them as well! There was never a doubt that she was safe and in excellent hands with them. We will definitely be rebooking with Jacquelyn every time we need to leave our Hollis.
