We have spent a long time looking for a boarding option that we feel comfortable with and I am glad we finally found Brian! He made us feel confident that our pup was well taken care of with his knowledge and love for dogs as well as the pictures and updates we received while we were away. He is very good with communication and was flexible on timing. It was a positive experience in every way!

Andrea was my first sitter on Rover. It couldn't be better. After meeting her and her family I went very calmly on my vacation. Athena would stay with her again without a doubt.

Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!

Marija was amazing! Our pup( senior dog) was unexpectedly just off of major surgery and barely off of restricted activity. And she made sure everything was perfect for him. She gave us daily updates many pictures. He was the happiest dog ever to have playmates. She has a lot of dogs come in and out, but they’re all really friendly. Highly recommend.

We couldn’t be happier with Kimberly’s care for our dog, A.J.! She watched him for three weeks and did a fantastic job. Kimberly kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. A.J. was clearly very happy and comfortable with her, and it’s obvious she truly cares for the dogs she looks after. She was also wonderfully flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made the whole process so much easier. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter!

Joe took care of our 7mo old puppy for the weekend. It was our first time away from her and we were worried about how she would do with someone other than us. She did amazingly well and seemingly had a great time. I’m not surprised, Joe has a very welcoming and warm persona, it is obvious that he loves animals and he will treat yours as his own. He sent us pictures, video and updates all weekend long.

Jackie is amazing. This is my third time using her and I couldn’t be happier. She sends tons of videos and updates, which really puts my mind at ease, and it’s obvious how well she takes care of Teddy. He’s always happy, relaxed, and clearly loved when he’s with her. I trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.
