“Chloe, thanks for watching our pups while we were traveling! They came back happy and tired from all the walks and playtime they got with you and your family. We’re already looking forward to coming back!”
“Kathy and Rick took care of my old girl while I was out of town and made her feel right at home. Not only did they stay on top of all her different medications at different times of the day, they helped her relax around other dogs (she tends to be socially anxious). They messaged me daily updates, took her on walks, and let her explore their home and property. When I picked her up, she was a calm and happy pup!”
“Amber and her family were very nice and friendly, they took great care of our dogs. She was quick to response and provide updates and photos. We will be using Amber again. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was great with my dogs when we went on vacation for a week. She sent me updates/photos, and I never felt worried about my pups. One of my dogs is on daily medication, and it can be very difficult to get her to take her pills because she’s old and stubborn. Jennifer was professional about the situation and managed to get her to take her meds everyday.”
“Bryan and his mom Peggy are the most caring dog sitters you could wish for your dog. Pippa walked in the door, tail wagging, when we dropped her off and was a happy dog when we picked her up next day. Will use Bryan again in September for Pippa to have two lovely people around her while we are away. We can highly recommend Bryan and Peggy!”
“Stanley, Victoria, Charlie and Poppy were so amazing and sweet with our pup, Somi! It was wonderful to receive all the videos and photos of Somi playing with Charlie and hanging out with Poppy. :) Big thanks to Stanley and Victoria for their understanding, flexibility, communication and kindness!”
“Our Golden Retriever, Ziggy, has stayed with Jessica and her family 3x now and always is happy, healthy, and well cared for. Great communication with Jessica and frequent picture updates. We love that Ziggy becomes a part of the family when he stays over. Definitely would recommend Jessica.”
“Highly recommend Kim! She is an excellent communicator before and during our little pups stay. She sent many photos of the pups playing and resting together which helped us feel connected while we were out of town. Kim is super friendly, easy going, and just a pleasure to work with. She has the perfect space inside and out for a little pup like ours, and a safe fenced backyard for the small dogs to run and play. She will be our #1 choice each time we go out of town. Thank you Kim!”
“Wendy was excellent! Lots of updates with pictures of my Bruno kept my mind at ease, as this was his first stay away from home. She answered all my questions and addressed my many concerns. She also came to me with any questions of questionable behavior that I was able to address and glad to be aware of. (Bruno rarely eats when in a new place). When we picked him up, I could tell Bruno had tons of fun while staying with Wendy! Overall she was very helpful and caring. I would definitely go to her again for pet setting. ”
“Diana was very accommodating and took great care of Penny. She sent regular updates and photos, which we appreciated. Penny seemed happy and well cared for when we picked her up and we hope to book with her again in the future.”
“It's our first time to leave Coco with a dog sitter instead with a dog boarding facility. Lee is very good in updating us almost daily with how Coco did and sent us pictures from time to time. We felt Coco was in good hands. Though Coco couldn't tell us how the stay was and it's Lee's practice that we passed Coco to him outside his house, she appeared calm and sound when we picked her up. I plan to leave Coco with Lee again in the future.”
“Lori was amazing! My pup immediately took to her, her dogs, and her home. I felt safe leaving him there. She sent me several pictures and updates and was so flexible on my changing schedule. Thank you Lori!”
“Loic & Kristen and family were wonderful hosts for my dog, Basil. The They sent great pictures and videos of lots of walks, play time, and even new tricks! Their home is so loving and caring and Basil was very relaxed and happy when he came home. I hope that Basil can visit their family again in the future, and I know Basil hopes so, too!”
“Chloe was the best! Nala felt right at home immediately. She had so much fun running around with other sweet dogs in the backyard and didn’t want to leave. Chloe was extremely communicative and did a fantastic job giving her medications as well. We would love Nala to stay with Chloe again!!”
“Michelle was a gracious host for our Maui! She provided pictures and videos daily to share with us. Being that it was our first time using rover (and being away from Maui for a week), she provided a card listing all the important items needed. We would absolutely recommend Michelle for anyone who needs their dog to get top notch care!”
“I was so incredibly happy and thankful for the care Silvia and her family gave my dog, Rail. More importantly, Rail was happy tired and smiling for the entire evening after I picked him up. He enjoyed his stay and loved the back yard time and walks. Thank you so much. I will certainly be rebooking.”
“Her calm and friendly demeanor really allowed my family and I to be able to relax during our trip. Kaylie kept our dogs stimulated and hydrated during the heat in August. I will 100% return to Kaylie with my pups and recommend her to everyone I know. She's great and makes you feel like we've known each other for a long time.”
“Carrie cared for our 18 month old Labrador, Bolt. Bolt was well cared for and came home happy. It was great to receive regular updates and pictures. Bolt got his usual exercise in, played a lot of fetch and some pool time too. We will leverage Carrie’s time and services in the future for sure. Thank you!”
“If I could rate Nicole 10 stars I would. She went above and beyond my expectations. By helping with training and even buying a pool after finding out he likes water. She would send pictures and videos every day as well as update me on how he was. 100% will be booking again soon. Thank you Nicole Moose had an amazing time!!!”
