âWe felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!â

âThis was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.â

âKimberly, Victor, and Luke were amazing with Dr. Phil, they made it very easy and comfortable for me to leave my fur baby in their care. I will definitely use them again. Thank you guysâ

âSherry took wonderful care of our dogs. She sent photos/videos of their daily activities, and we could see that they were loving the attention she gave them. They will definitely be going back for another visit!â


âMaria is AMAZING! This was our first time using rover and she made us and our dog feel super comfortable. She truly cares about the dogs she is taking care of and made the process of leaving our dog easy. She has the dogs on a routine and has a huge yard for them to play. Maria would also send pictures of our dog daily which was something I looked forward to. Overall very happy with my experience with Maria and will definitely use her services again!â


âDeuce can sometimes get a bit of separation anxiety when he leaves his family. He, however, was so comfortable with Maggie and Moose that he forgot about us and anxiety was gone! Maggie updated us and sent pics throughout Deuce's stay. We plan on using Maggie when we go on our next family vacation. Great job!â

âSean and Jill are great and Gwendolyn always looks forward to coming for a stay. I have a very tiny 4.5lb dog and very particular with whom I leave her with because of her size. I love the fact that they only take in small dogs as this tells me that they take the precautions needed to accommodate Gwendolyns sizeâ

âWe cannot think Julius and family enough for watching our two dogs over the holidays! It is always challenging for us to leave them behind, but Julius and family took great care of them. They were happy, and well-cared for. Looking forward to booking them again.â

âGreat with our pup as always. Great updates/photos throughout the stay and always makes us feel at ease about dropping her off. Excellent communication and care. Thanks again!â

âMoby, a clinger, was in a total comfort zone amongst this loving family. Care was complete + a boot camp of healthy activity. Other đž campers alongside was great for his social abilities. Now, our go-to when we have to be away!â

âKristin was great about sending pictures and letting us know how Boomer was adjusting! It made leaving him with someone new so much easier! Itâs such a relief to know that when we go on vacation again Boomer will be in good hands with Kristin and her family! Thanks Kristin!â

âMaikoh had an amazing visit! Lots of hiking and exercise for my pup, which isnât easy! She really puts in the effort to take care of each pet. We will be back!â

âWe were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we havenât met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!â

âAriel was amazing at taking care of my two big dogs. She knew what they needed and gave them opportunities for exercising and socializing. I feel confident leaving my fur babies with her! Thank youâ

âStephen was a great fit for my Abbie. He and his wife took excellent care of her and sent pictures en very day and a couple of videos. It was my first time leaving her with someone outside her home environment. I have already booked him for another week in September. I highly recommend him if you need to board your dog.â

âAmazing sitter on Rover and such a nice guy, he was able to accommodate my last-minute request and took great care of my puppy cheri. I would highly recommend him.â
