7. Scott S.
“When our new puppy fell into our lap, we were SO EXCITED! She fit right in to our family!! However, within 2 weeks of having her, we had a previously scheduled road trip that didn’t allow for a puppy to tag along. In came Scott to our life! I had never used Rover before, but after meeting Scott, we knew Trooper would be in good hands. We received daily updates, photos, and videos while we were gone…easing our minds that our sweet girl was doing well. She had so much fun run and playing, meeting other dog friends, and forming a special bond with Scott’s own dog. We would highly recommend their services and will definitely use Scott in the future!”
8. Jenevieve Y.
“Great first time boarding for our little guy. He was well taken care of by the whole family. Tired and happy when picked him up. Jenevieve shared daily updates while we were away. We greatly appreciated this. Very much recommend. Thank you Jenevieve and family.”
9. Alice b.
“Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.”
10. Meagan N.
“Meagan and her sweet daughter are spectacular! They took amazing care of our energetic dog, Betty. She sent daily updates with photos, followed Betty’s care info, and absolutely made Betty feel comfortable, loved and welcome into their home! Betty was exhausted after we picked her up, so I know she enjoyed her stay. We felt completely as ease knowing our dog was in such great hands for the week and will definitely be booking with Meagan again!”

14. Candace D.
“Candace and her family are amazing! Abby was so well cared for while I was away and she was loved by the entire family, and, she had wonderful playtime with their own sweet dog! Candace sent pictures and updates so I rest assured Abby was doing great! Will definitely use them again!”
15. Samantha P.
“Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.”
16. Ajit & Sabera T.
“We were very happy with Stella’s stay at Ajit&Sabera’s. They have a very nice fenced in yard and were accommodating to any request. We received pictures during the stay that helped reduce our anxiety and gave us frequent updates on how things were going. They have 2 dogs that our dog loved playing with. They provide a home like atmosphere and we will certainly use them again. Highly recommend.”
17. Clare F.
“Clare was amazing with our girl. She sent photos and updates. Was willing to be patient with Daphne with it being her first ever trip away from home and being an older dog she can be standoff ish and temperamental. She was great with making sure Daphne got her medication and found ways to make Daphne feel at home with the cold weather and quick walks. We’d definitely hire Clare again.”
18. Patricia ..
“Patricia is easily the best sitter I’ve worked with on Rover. She has great communication, been excellent at following tasks specific to our dogs needs, sends plenty of photos, and it is clear that our Boca absolutely adores her and her family. Drop off is a breeze when my dog is thrilled to be there! I highly recommend her to care for your pet!”
19. Cliff C.
“This is our second time using Cliff to care for our puppy and he is great! Very responsive, sent us pictures and updates and genuinely loves dogs. Highly recommend him and will definitely use him again.”
20. Nicole W.
“Nicole and her family were so great with our 6 month old cavachon. They loved on her like she was their own. We knew from our first visit to their home, that they were a perfect fit! Piper was so worn out from all the love and attention she received, she fell asleep on our 5 minute drive home. We will definitely be back!”
