“Matthew and Heidi did a wonderful job watching my girls! Cleopatra (dog) and Boudicca (cat) were well taken care of and they enjoyed their stay, particularly playing with Tenley. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. They were very responsive with communication and provided photos of both the girls. This really helped to reduce my stress about leaving them in a new environment. Thanks again M & H!”


“Crystal let me know she was loved here upon departure. Jessica kept in contact sending pics and compliments. Crystal and I loved connected with Jessica and her family.”


“Carolina and her husband are genuinely good people. You can tell the instant warmth when you meet them. Caring and loving of my dog as if she was their own. Kept me informed with cute photos and constant communication. I trusted them completely and felt at ease the entire time. Very happy that I met them and will only use them in the future.”


“Cristina did an excellent job keeping our 2 year old Cavapoo for 7 days while we were out of the country on vacation. She sent so many pictures and updates and followed all of our care instructions to the letter. I know that LouLou was a big fan of the super early morning doggie walks. Their home is extremely clean and inviting. Cristina has awesome twin grandsons as well that love dogs and the whole family loved and cared for our doggie like she was their own. I highly recommend Cristina and I am certain that we will be using her again.”


“I am so happy with Ms. Mary. She truly pays attention to the pets she sits. I truly felt at ease and at peace after I dropped off my dog Shakespeare at Ms. Mary’s house. She is very pleasant and patient and i truly see her love for what she does. I cannot thank her enough. I will definitely call upon Ms. Mary again to sit my dog Shakespeare.”


“Liliana did an amazing job with my shy older yorkie! She was compassionate, patient and took great care of our fur baby. She really welcomed her into her home and made sure to keep me informed of how she was doing while we were away. I would definitely use her services again and highly recommend her as a dog sitter!”

“Our first time leaving our dog with Veronica was a great experience. She took care of all of his needs including giving him medications as prescribed. We have already booked Veronica again for a longer stay this summer when we will be out of the country, and we are confident he will be in good hands.”


“Emily and her family were amazing to my sweet older pup. They spoiled her with walks and playing time and I think she thought she was being adopted. I was very comfortable leaving her when she normally travels with me - they kept me updated with happy pics and I totally hope to let her board with them again ! Thank you Emily!”


“Angela and Rick truly loved on our Harley. They welcomed Harley into their home as if she was family. Even allowed her on their furniture. They took and sent daily pictures of Harley making herself at home. It was awsome not having to worry about Harley. Harley definitely made new friends. I would highly recommend Angela and Rick to care for your fur babies. We will be booking with them again! Thank you Rover.com for connecting us to Angela and Rick!!!”


“This was our first time using Rebecca and her husband for boarding. They made sure to keep us updated on our fur babies with pictures and videos. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my babies where in good care. We will definitely be boarding with them again!”


“Our dog had an amazing stay with Jared! We had tons of great pictures and updates sent to us throughout the stay and we can tell that our dog had a great time and was well loved while she was there. We will be happy to have Jared keep Honey in the future!!!”


“Jon and Shayne are fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and they were incredibly easy to communicate with, also making sure to send pictures every day. I know our dog was well taken care of and will miss all the play time she had with the other dogs. We would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to have a great experience!”



“Kelly is fantastic! Our dog Elle gets nervous around new people but warmed up to Kelly almost immediately. While we were away, she sent us pictures and detailed updates which were very appreciated!”


“My pup had a great time at Dorothy’s! She’s awesome and was very accommodating which I greatly appreciate! I’d definitely book with her again and would recommend her to others. Thanks Dorothy!”


“Becca was wonderful with our dog, Deacon. She knew I was worried about leaving him with someone new and she kept me updated with pictures on how he was doing. I’m sure he will miss all the attention.”


“Dog absolutely loved it there - I didn’t get the normal “I’m so excited to see you I have to jump all over you I never thought you’d come back” response when I picked him up. They took the time to acclimate him to their house and yard before introducing other dogs, took the time to run and wrestle with him and treated him like their own. They have a nice big yard for them to run around. Very good experience.”


“Daniella did a great job taking care of our Tibetan Terrier who is the sweetest dog ever and is 8 years old and has never been in a kennel. Our usual sitter could not watch her so we were worried about finding a good place for Sonoma to stay. We really appreciated the photos and updates Daniella emailed to us. She is very caring and we know Sonoma had lots of attention and fun with Daniella. Would definitely recommend her. Thanks Daniella! Donna & Greg”
