“Joan was very accommodating and sent photos of my babies everyday. They looked super happy and napped very well when they were home. Thanks so much for watching them! :)”
“Duane and Lauren were wonderful to work with and took great care of our two dogs!!! Their communication was terrific and they were very flexible. We would love to have our dogs stay with them again!!”
“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”
“Last minute booking and sitter was super accommodating! Kept me posted with pics and videos. I felt super comfortable and that my pup was in good hands as soon as I walked in the door! Highly highly recommend!”
“Yoki and Derek were amazing!! My pup Millie stayed with them for this past weekend…..we received so many pictures and knew she was having fun every second she was there! Highly recommend!!”
“My mini poodle absolutely LOVES going to Camp Laura! Penny stayed with Laura recently for several days, and Laura took such amazing care of her. Penny got to walk and go to the dog park daily, play with Laura's pets and sleep in comfort each night. I never worry when Penny stays with Laura because Laura is so kind and caring. We will enlist Laura again when we need a safe and happy place for Penny! Thank you, Laura!”
“Our dog Wallace is always excited to visit "Uncle Bob". The update photos from his recent 4 day stay showed a smile on his face every time. Robert is a top notch provider and we appreciate his flexibility with the changes to our last service. We highly recommend Robert!”
“Our dog Gatsby has stayed with Edith on multiple occasions and always has a wonderful time!

Even when our dog has less than stellar behavior Edith takes it all in stride and keeps us updated. Thank you Edith!”
“Al and Hannah were phenomenal! They were very responsive and sent a lot of updates through my dog's stay. It made me feel very comfortable leaving Cas with them, and I absolutely will again if the need arises. Highly recommend!”
“Suellen was available for last minute sitting for our dog. She is extremely caring and attentive. She did a wonderful job keeping him occupied and provided us with lots of updates throughout the weekend. We could tell he really enjoyed his time with her.”

“Michelle is amazing! She was so communicative and provided lots of pictures. Good updates and very receptive. She took the time to really listen to my dogs backstory. I knew my dog was being well taken care of and I would absolutely have her watch him again!”
“Emily and family were awesome with our Bernedoodle, Milo. She suggested a meet and greet for Milo and their dog, Finn, and the dogs were instant friends. More importantly, this helped Milo get acquainted with Emily’s house and made for a more comfortable drop-off. Emily gave lots of updates and sent lots of pictures, and made sure to tell us about anything out of the ordinary. We truly felt 100% comfortable that Milo was in good hands, and we would ask Emily to take him for the weekend again in a heartbeat.”

Hawthorne dog parents share their Rover experiences
From start to finish, we had a great experience working with Nick. He is very responsive and was happy to answer any questions that I had. I also had a great time out of town knowing that Kylo was in good hands. Kylo had a blast playing with Nick's dogs, and I was happy to bring home a worn out pup. I definitely plan on booking with Nick again!
Katherine is delightful, and very responsible! She took great care of my dog! Poppy was very happy. Katherine has great communication skills, sent a lot of updates with cute pictures, and was flexible about the last minute booking. Would definitely re-book with her!
Hope did such an amazing job with my dog Bugs! I got plenty of updates and felt confident that he was always feeling safe in her care and making new friends. She deeply understands dogs’ different personalities and ensures that every pet in her care is very well taken care of, comfy, and safe.
Mikaela was so great and super flexible! Estrella was prescribed medications right before her stay and Mikaela handled it like a pro! She also sent updates and photos which was much appreciated. We truly felt like we could trust her and Theo to give Estrella the best care while on vacation, which was a huge relief. We are looking forward to have Estrella stay with them again!
My mini poodle absolutely LOVES going to Camp Laura! Penny stayed with Laura recently for several days, and Laura took such amazing care of her. Penny got to walk and go to the dog park daily, play with Laura's pets and sleep in comfort each night. I never worry when Penny stays with Laura because Laura is so kind and caring. We will enlist Laura again when we need a safe and happy place for Penny! Thank you, Laura!
Zeppelin and his owners are beyond elated to have found Hannah and her doggies for boarding! From the meet and greet to pickup, we could not have asked for anything better. Hannah is intuitive, patient, kind, and has well trained doggies! She made sure to double check any special needs or requests and was very communicative during Zeppelin's stay. The pictures shared and behavior of our dog during drop off and pickup let us know he felt right at home. Hannah will be top of our list when looking for future care!
Bekah and Alex were amazing for Paka's 12-day mega-stay! Unfortunately on day #2, Paka did something clumsy in the backyard and had to be taken to the ER vet, but I so appreciated how communicative Bekah was through the entire process and how attentive she was with all of the aftercare. With multiple updates with photos per day, I didn't feel thousands of miles away. Paka still had a great time getting lots of cuddles and time basking on the deck. I would recommend them and book them again myself!
