“John is great! He kept my dog at his house for about a week while I was out of town. It’s so much better than boarding my dog at a kennel. John took him on several walks each day and even let him sleep on his couch. I believe my dog had it better at John’s house than at mine! John is also good about providing daily updates.”
“Such a wonderful service provided with timely updates including pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving the kitties with her. I will definitely use her service again if I need to board Emma and Walley.”
“I would definitely recommend Samantha! She was very nice, quick to respond, and was flexible with my drop off and pick up times. This was only the second time boarding my 11 month old puppy. I can tell he was taken care of and had a blast with lots of play time from the frequent photo updates and given the amount of time he slept after picking him up. Thank you Samantha!”
“My two dogs had a great time with Jody. She adapted to their schedule and gave them their meds as instructed. She sent pictures during their stay which was much appreciated. I would highly recommend Jody.”
“Henry and Cheryle were very caring and loving with our dog Roger. They treated him like their own dog. Roger got to go on walks in the woods, and even got a bath. We are very content and satisfied with Henry and Cheryle’s care for Roger. I highly recommend them as pet sitters. If I could, I wouldn’t give them five stars, but ten instead. Thank you so much!!!!!!”
“McKenanne took great care of my dog and was good about communicating before and during my dog's stay. Her two dogs were very friendly which helped to make my dog more comfortable and happy.”
“I came home to a happy dog! I know having my energetic lab for a rainy weekend was not easy. I appreciate the flexibility with drop-off and pickup times and I love her way with animals. I'll be a lot less uneasy about leaving my pup after this good experience.”
“David was awesome with our very high energy, sometimes challenging, yet sweet Calvin. David sent us reports and pictures every day which made our trip that much more relaxing and put our minds at ease. We couldn't be more grateful to David and his excellent care of our boy while we were on the road. We recommend David 100% and hope to call on him again. Thank you, David!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Marah was very nice, extremely patient with me, and my girls, Lucy and Sophie were very happy staying with her. She sent me many photos during their stay. I am very happy with her service!”
“This was the first time we used Rover.com for our 1 year old pup. We were anxious to leave town without her, but Ashley and her family took such great care of Sadie for 5 days. She sent pictures and updates while we were away. We were so relieved that this was such a great experience and can't wait to use her serves again for our next trip.”
“Kaylyn is fantastic! She let book my puppy to stay wither her on short notice without hesitation. When Seager stayed with her she sent many photos and was extremely communicative! Highly recommend her to watch your pup and will definitely use her help again!”

“Outstanding! Our dog loved her stay with Kimberly. She could probably do a Master Class in Dog Handling. Our Golden Retrievers which are adorable. Kim has a large fenced in yard which was perfect for the dogs to run and play together. Thanks Kim for taking such good care of our dog. We will be back! ~tom”
“They looked like they had a great time! Was given plenty of attention and treats. Did not appear overly hungry or thirsty when we brought them back home telling me they were given plenty of food and water. Liked that Lydia has a fenced in back yard and appreciated the daily picture updates and video without me having to ask first. Was also able to get us in last minute and was very responsive. Would highly recommend!”
“Michelle is the most wonderful babysitter for our sweet Lola. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found such a kind, communicative, and trustworthy person to watch our pup! Thank you, Michelle!”

John was very professional leading up to our dog's first stay with him. He asked many questions regarding our dog's schedules/likes/needs/etc. He provided twice daily updates with pictures, and we think but are not sure that our dog might have had more fun than we did on vacation. She was clearly very comfortable with John, and it was obvious that he spent a lot of time playing with and providing her needed attention. We highly recommend John and will definitely use him again.
