1. Maegan K.
“Maegan was great! She responded quickly each time I contacted her. Maegan's house and yard are well set up for a visiting dog. She is relaxed and calm and well-prepared. Drop-off and pick-up were very easy. My little dog seemed comfortable in Maegan's house. I was given an update and a picture of my dog while I was away. I would happily choose Maegan as a sitter again.”
2. Brigid O.
“Brigid was perfect for my older dog Scout. She is very loving and attentive. Scout seemed very content with Brigid, who kept me updated with photos and videos. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Scout.”
3. Anna H.
“Anna was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave our doodle in a kennel because he becomes anxious in a crate. Anna was the perfect “homey” option. She was so accommodating, friendly, and professional. We trusted Anna for a full week with our goofy boy and she hit it out the park. We got frequent updates and pics. When we picked him up he was happy to see us, but not in an anxious “omg get me outta here” kind of way. He was just happy and looked healthy. Highly recommend.”
4. Lori H.
“Lori was amazing and took excellent care of our dog for an overnight stay. We discovered that our dogs had met, walking at Capital Hills and had hit it off right away, so that was an added bonus. But I immediately felt very comfortable and when I dropped Clover off, I truly felt like I was leaving her with a friend. Clover came home clean, happy and exhausted. I can't recommend Lori enough and would absolutely reach out to her again when the need arises. Thank you, Lori!”
5. Christopher T.
“I can’t thank Christopher & Chelsea enough. As a nervous dog owner who has never left her pets with anyone, but family he truly went above and beyond for Aggie and Eddie. Christopher cares about dogs as if they were his own and it shows. My dogs were happy and seemed right at home when I picked them up. I can’t say enough good things!”
6. Brad & Mery R.
“Brad and Meri provided a calm, safe environment for our dog, Parker. I appreciated the texts and photos they sent me during his stay. Thank you for a positive first time Rover experience.”
7. Kimberly P.
“Kim P. Is a very kind and thoughtful person. She has cared for pets all her life. Kim had many pets when she was living at home and when she married and had her own family, she was never without at least one pet at all times. I think people would be very happy with her if she was caring for their pet.”
8. Stephanie B.
“I am so thankful I found somebody who can take care of my little one when I’m away!!! He had a great time and he was well taken care of! I know he is in good hands!”
9. Natthinee B.
“Natthinee did a wonderful job taking care of my Moose! She sent lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time doing all of his tricks and playing with their dog. He will definitely be coming back for more visits!”
10. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea and Christopher were so good with our girl Fea! Fea has a lot of anxiety especially with strangers. Our vet wasn't available to board her. So we went on Rover found Chelsea and Christopher. We had a meet and greet and Fea never growled or barked at them. She was wagging her tail and went for a stroll in their yard without us! We found the right folks to watch Fea. They sent us a photos and updates. We'll definitely send Fea there again!!”
11. Korinne B.
“Korinne was wonderful! She was incredibly loving and responsible with our dog, and also flexible and helpful making things easy for us. Highly recommend!!”
12. Gillian G.
“From the very first meet I knew we were leaving our pups in good hands with Gillian! She treated our dogs like her own and navigated some tricky situations when it appeared that Chloe was upset by the change of mom and dad leaving and needed some special attention. They quickly became well adjusted and had a great time! The photos and videos and updates were so welcome so we could check in while we were away. Thank you, Gillian!”
13. Alexa S.
“Alex and her family were incredibly loving and attentive to my senior pup’s needs. Lots of updates and pictures. Their home was warm and inviting. My dog had a wonderful mini vacation. We will definitely book again.”

15. Vera R.
“Vera kindly agreed to host our Piper with less than a week’s notice. She was super communicative, sending a reminder packing list prior to the visit, as well as detailed updates and lots of photos. Piper had a terrific time with Vera and returned home a happy pup. Thank you!”

“Always a pleasure from. Welcoming like a second family”
19. Sky S.
“Extremely good pet sitter. My elderly dog stayed over thanksgiving break and I got frequent updates/pictures. Very intuitive about my dog’s wants/needs. You would struggle finding a better person to take care of your animals, especially if you have a dog with a big personality.”
