1. Courtney & Izaic Y.

“Courtney and Izaic were wonderful! We had not used Rover before so my husband and I were apprehensive about finding our pup a place to stay while we were away. As soon as we met them we knew Ku would be well looked after. They are a sweet and caring family and we are so happy we found them!”


2. Marilyn C.


“Marilyn was phenomenal with Hudson, and he had such a great time!! Daily updates and pictures showed a very happy pup and it was clear from the start that Marilyn and her family knew how to take great care of dogs. Marilyn was also very accommodating and flexible when my plans changed, and I appreciate all the care going into taking care of Hudson!”


3. Amanda H.

“Incredibly flexible! Large family dogs at home, so your pet has to be flexible as well. Saoirse seemed comfortable with everyone. Very happy.”


4. Katie P.

“Katie was amazing with my Danner! I had an emergency pop up where I had to fly to my home town and Katie was so nice and flexible with me! Danner came home happy and pooped from all the fun he had! Definitely recommend Katie!”


5. Ityona T.

“Ityona took such great care of our dog! She sent us pictures and updates daily. We would definitely leave our dog in her care again anytime we go away!”


6. Barbra B.

“Both of our dogs love going to Barbras! She does a great job managing all kinds of canine guests. We will be sending our pups to her every time we leave town confident they will have a great time and be treated well”


7. Gregg B.

“Gregg always takes such good care of our dog, Lula. He truly cares for his dogs and gives detailed and thoughtful updates. Our dog gets SO excited when we tell her it’s time time to go to Oliver’s house!!”


8. Emily M.

“Emily did a great job taking care of Toro! He is an energetic dog with lots of quirks, and she was great about taking him on walks and making sure he was well cared for. She sent us daily updates and photos and was very communicative while we were away. Highly recommend Emily’s services!”


9. Olivia F.

“Olivia, along with her family, took good care of my pups. They came back to me healthy, happy, and tired. Olivia’s home is perfect for two little dogs that need extra TLC. We will definitely seek her out in the future :) CJ”


10. Vanessa J.

“As usual, Vanessa and family are always amazing! She's become my do to dog sitter because she's kind, understands dogs and sends great updates during our pups stay!”


11. Uncle T.


“I recently moved to the area and was expecting that it would take me two or three tries to find the right fit for my dog. I got it right the first time. David provides excellent care in every respect. He is attentive to the individual needs of each dog and just as importantly, how they interact with one another. He also has an ideal set-up for boarding, with a comfortable home and a walkout deck that opens to a spacious, fenced-in yard. He has created an environment that works for him and the small number of dogs he takes in at any one time. For me, the true litmus test is whether or not the dog you drop off for boarding is the same dog you pick up. I've had the experience before, actually multiple times, when my dog has been in a chaotic, nonstop boarding environment and he's turned into Buffalo Bill Cody by the time I pick him up, i.e. he is physically spent, needs a bath, and takes several days to re-acclimate to home. I can say with great satisfaction that the Casper I dropped off was the very same Casper who greeted me when I returned. That's what a true boarding experience ought to be. Five stars out of five.”


12. Hope A.

“Oh my gosh, I am so glad we found Hope! She is so warm, loving and caring. I had no doubt that our dog was in great hands. Communication was excellent, and it felt more like we left our dog with a trusted family member than a stranger. We (me and my dog) can’t wait until the next stay.”


13. May G.

“May was spectacular! She was so sweet to my FiFi. They went on long walks and she cuddled with my baby girl. FiFi does not like everyone and she seemed to really bond well with May. May also sent photos and videos so I could see the fun that FiFi was having. I will definitely be booking with May again!”


14. Maho O.

“Luna had such a fabulous week with Maho and Stella! Maho was wonderful about sharing photos and videos, which made being away from Luna a little easier since I new she was having so much fun!”


15. Rachel R.

“This was Bree's second visit with Rachel and ii certainly will not be her last! Rachel took such excellent care of Bree. I could tell from Bree's reactions that she really enjoyed her time spent with Rachel.”


16. Angelina Z.


“Overall great. They sent videos every day and made pickup and drop off a breeze. My dog was definitely happy staying with them and she seemed loved. That said, I’m not sure my dog was given her medication during the stay - this may have just been a miscommunication as I wasn’t as explicit as I have been with other rovers. Would definitely use them again!”


17. Anitra B.

“My toy poodle had an amazing time with Anitra! She paid attention to his previous injuries and carefully administered meds as I requested while giving him all the love and attention. She also sent photos and videos each day so I can see how he was doing while I was away.”


18. Anthony H.

“This was my dog’s first stay with Anthony, and everything went smoothly! He was very responsive with communication and clearly made an effort to make my pup comfortable and feel at home for an entire week! The pictures were much appreciated, as was the flexibility with drop off/pick up. We hope to use Anthony’s services again!”




19. Ashleigh D.

“Ashleigh is the absolute best! We’ve had a couple spontaneous trips and she’s been able to take care of our furry goober. Our furry baby loves Ashleigh and loves going back!”


20. Alicia W.

“This was my first time having Alicia as a sitter and she was great with Zola. She was very communicative. She sent lots of pictures and videos of how Zola was doing. Her doggies loved Zola and Zola loved them. Zola received lots of love and attention during her stay. My return flight was cancelled and Alicia supported me and was able to help me out with Zola with no problems. Highly recommend, Alicia. 😉”
