Terri was absolutely wonderful! She had two meet and greets with us to make sure my fur baby was comfortable and then she sent me at least 4 pictures every day with updates of how he was doing while I was gone. I will definitely be using her again!

Jordan has been watching our English bulldog Marge here and there throughout the year. Most recently he watched her while we were out of the country for two weeks. He always takes great care of her, sends us regular updates, and is flexible when travel plans change. Marge loves staying with Jordan, and we love having a great sitter for her!

Maria was AMAZING with my little Potato! For the first time, all our family and friends did not work out, so I found Rover and I was off to the races. I was so worried about leaving him with a veritable stranger for a week, but it worked out perfectly. Maria was good to meet at her place briefly before I booked just to make sure all was well, which of course it was. She sent so many pics and vids! It’s clear he spent plenty of time with the family, not sitting in a small space all day like he would have been if boarded elsewhere. She even took him on a walk one day when it was a little less deathly freezing out. Thank you so much Maria!

Emily is one of a kind. As it was our first time using Rover and having a puppy, we were a little shy about it at first, but Emily made us feel comfortable about everything! We did a meet-up a few days before scheduling to confirm it was a good match. It definitely was! She asked us many questions and also let us ask questions about everything, which made us feel more at ease. Throughout the stay, Emily kept us updated on how our puppy was eating and how he was getting along with her own dogs. She also asked us during the stay if it was okay to bring him to certain places, and that was great! Let’s just say our little pup is going to miss the new best friends he made until next time. Emily is so sweet, kind, and caring! We will definitely be having Emily babysit our baby boy again! We recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter, and if you are worried about a puppy needing to be babysat, I can assure you that Emily is amazing.

Loki had a great time with Daisy. I got pictures and updates daily and it looked like he was having fun with the other dogs she was boarding, and playing fetch. Daisy was flexible with dropoff and pickup times providing a little extra peace of mind in case of flight delays getting back.

Jaime was absolutely amazing with my pup Hawkie. She was very detailed oriented and kept me updated with how he was doing. I never worried for a second because I knew he was in good hands. He's scared of loud noises and she handled his anxiety episodes beautifully. I know that I could trust her again to watch Hawkie because he trusted her, which he doesn't trust a lot of people. Thank you Jaime for taking care of my baby.

Sue is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog stayed with her for a week. Sue sent daily photos and updates. Sue really did took great care to make our pup feel at home (following her normal schedule, giving her veggies, letting her sleep in her bed)! I felt so secure knowing Sue was taking care of our girl. We definitely be repeat customers!

Jennifer and her son are truly wonderful. Leaving Rio can be tough for me, but they gave me complete peace of mind. He was so incredibly well taken care of and genuinely loved every single day I was away. It’s rare to find sitters who treat your best buddy like their own family. I cannot recommend Jennifer enough! I honestly feel a little relief in my heart now. If I need to leave Rio for a few days, I've got a family that can truly and lovingly take care of my best buddy in the whole world.

Renae and her family were wonderful! She accepted a last-minute boarding request and even let us drop off our dog early in the morning before our flight. Her home was a great setup, with a cozy living space and access to a fenced yard for the dogs to enjoy. She gave us space to enjoy our vacation but was always responsive and happy to send photos whenever we asked. We felt comfortable leaving our dog in her care and would happily recommend her to others!

Sarah and her family were absolutely wonderful with our 5-month-old Goldendoodle, Chopper! We left him for an 11-day stay, which was a long time for a young puppy, but Sarah made us feel completely at ease. They have a bustling, lively home with kids and other pets, which turned out to be the perfect, fun vacation for Chopper. He is a high-energy puppy who loves to bounce and wander, and they managed his excitement beautifully. We came home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pup. We highly recommend Sarah and will absolutely trust her with Chopper again.

Justin and his mom were so accomodating with my dog, Drake who is young and full of energy. I just checked him out today and he stayed with them for a month. Justin sends me photos of Drake like every other day of Drake getting some walks, etc. If you have dogs like me and looking for temporary home due to travel, I recommend you leave it to Justin and his mom’s good hands. I trust that they would do the same. I would definitely have Drake stay with them in the future. Thanks guys!

Aastha and Daniel did an awesome job with our two dogs. We didn’t have to worry at all during our time away, received daily updates on how the pups were doing, and both dogs came home rested and in good spirits. The huge yard is a major plus - our dogs seemed to love zooming around and snoozing in the sun! We look forward to booking boarding with Aastha and Daniel again soon!
