“Riley totally enjoyed his stay with Tammie. Riley is 14 and needs a little extra TLC. He received it from Tammie. We're both looking forward to his next stay.”


2. Terwrin C.

“Terwrin was a perfect hostess for my 7 year old Goldendoodle. I will definitely be contacting her for future stays. Thank you for taking good care of my baby girl.”


3. Lindsey S.

“Lindsey and family, including her fur babies took excellent care of Elsa. It's just me and Elsa at home and I could tell she missed all the attention she received over at Lindsey's. They're great, give them a try.”


4. Terri S.

“Terri is absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and we were hesitant with leaving our baby with a stranger but that was quickly resolved after speaking with Terri, who even offered a meet & greet a few days prior to the booking. She is very quick and responsive to our questions and sent pictures and videos of our frenchie enjoying his time with her. She also has a pup named Zeus who is the chillest and sweetest dog ever. We will definitely be rebooking with her.”


5. Mim P.

“The BEST! I was in need of a dog sitter on an extremely short notice, and I was able to book with Mim immediately. I was on vacation in a non pet friendly condominium, and my dog sitter fell through at the last minute. I couldn't leave my dog at home, so I took him with me. Get this! Mim lived minutes away from the condo, and she allowed me to come and get him whenever I wanted! It was perfect! Fortunately for Alex, she had a Chihuahua as well. Mim sent me pictures of them sleeping/playing together daily. She gave me a tour of her beautiful home, and where Alex would be sleeping. It put my mind at ease, especially since we were 300 miles from home. Mim gave WONDERFUL recommendations on restaurants and other things to do in the area. I would HIGHLY recommend her!”


6. Lisa G.

“This was the first time I had ever been away from my dog. I have found the greatest place ever if I need to be away from him again. Lisa sent pictures and updates during the stay. My “Jack” even slept with her. She truly loves dogs and made me so comfortable leaving Jack with her. I highly recommend using Lisa.”


7. Belinda M.

“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our little Lady! Sending pics, and updates make leaving her a little less stressful. She says Thank you also! Will definitely use you again!”


8. Corey S.


“This is the 2nd time we've used Corey and once again we were very pleased at how well he took care of our pups. We will definitely use him again in the future!”


9. Abbi B.

“Abbi and her mom did a wonderful job of watching our senior dog along with giving him medication. Abbi kept us informed along with sending pics and our little one came home as if he too enjoyed his vacation. We would highly recommend her and definitely use Abbi in the future.”


10. Myranda & Eliezer R.

“It’s a shame we can only leave five stars! This family took such good care of our little chihuahua for 2 weeks. Great environment, loving family, and daily pics/vids to keep our minds at ease. Highly recommend “The Rod Squad”!!”


11. Diana M.

“Diana was way above and beyond! She sent so many pics and videos of my baby and I could tell she was making her a part of the family! Her dog Arlo is so sweet and my Lola got along with him so well! Not only would I use Diana again, I would trust my actual kids with her!! Stellar!!”


12. Kristin L.

“Kristina did great with our very energetic pup! We were pleased with her care. Kristins entire family met us and responded well to having Coco. She sent us pictures throughout the week of all the fun Coco was having. We will definitely use Kristin if she's available for future trips!”

“Sue and Gary were great! We received many pics and updates on our pups visit. Sue was quick to respond to any questions or concerns.

17. Chastity D.

“Natalie and her family were wonderful! They made our shy furbaby feel right at home. Great communication from the first meet and greet to the day of pick up. It’s so nice to know we can relax and not worry about our furbaby when we are out of town.”


19. Autumn L.

“Autumn is so polite and kind . Autumn was great with taking care of my Aussie doodle Beau. There was good communication, she also kept me updated with pictures. It was really nice to have such peace of mind, knowing that my fur baby was in good hands for a three days stay in her home . It was a secure environment and Beau was happy and content while in Autumn’s care . Beau will be having play days with Winston often. Thank you ! Diane”
