“This 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.”

“Maria 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!”

“Deuce 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!”

“Sean 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 size”
