They have honestly become like a second family for Rocky. Thank you for taking such good care of Rocky 🩷.”


“This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy to have come across this site and even happier to have come across Ms. Estela. We had an absolute wonderful experience with her. From the beginning she was very friendly, helpful, and communicative. She provided updates and daily pictures of Santy and kept us informed of his well being. As much as we were anxious leaving our dog behind for few days, she made us feel comfortable that he was in good hands. There are no words that could describe my gratitude for Estela’s service. I would definitely be using her service in the near future and 100% recommend her to anyone that needs a loving animal care taker.”

Goddard dog parents share their Rover experiences
I don’t have a lot of experience using Rover, but Luisa is by far the best sitter I’ve ever met. She’s incredibly kind, thoughtful. She sent me so many photos and updates — more than anyone else ever has — which made me feel so reassured. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for.

Crystal was wonderful. She really puts her all into babysitting our pups! My mini poodle loved her and had other pups to play with. She was very intentional from the start, we also had a FaceTime and in-person meet & greet. I would definitely use her as my go-to.

We had a great experience with Bria watching our dog, Maximus, from Monday to Thursday. Maximus seemed happy and well taken care of the entire time. We especially appreciated the constant photo and update messages—it’s always reassuring to see your pup having fun while you’re away. She also went above and beyond by accommodating a delayed flight and keeping Maximus past the original booking time without any issues. Highly recommend!

Our pup’s stay with Estela was super! She accommodated a change in drop-off & pick-up. She sent daily pics and by the time I picked him up I could tell she knew our dog’s personality. Our dog looked happy and healthy-he was also not pulling to leave as in other experiences. Highly recommended!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Steven, Faben, and Roshe provided for our 1-year-old shepherd, Ellie, while we were away on a 10-day work trip. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and helpful during the booking process and even arranged a thoughtful meet-and-greet so Ellie and Roshe could get to know each other beforehand. Throughout Ellie’s stay, they sent us daily updates and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she was having a great time and was in loving, capable hands. We highly recommend their boarding services and would gladly work with them again!

My experience with Faben was wonderful! At our meet and greet, she showed me her house and where my dog would stay and I felt at peace right away that we had made the right choice. Dropping off my dog and picking him up 5 nights later, I was so glad we did! Faben sent pics and kept in touch daily, sometimes more, as needed to ask me to clarify my instructions. My dog had a great time and I will surely use her services again in the future. Her dog is adorable too!
