I had a last-minute need to board my dog, and Rover came through in the best way possible. Amber and Dane were incredibly quick to respond, which was such a relief. From the start, I could tell they genuinely cared for my dog, Comet. They treated him like part of the family, and he clearly had a blast with their crew. They also sent lots of great photos during his stay, which helped put my mind at ease and showed just how much fun he was having. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I absolutely plan to book with them again in the future!

I was very pleased with Kathleen's care for my Josie while I was away for a week. Her dogs accepted Josie as part of the family and there was no contention. Kathleen sent pictures and videos of Josie and the dogs each day. She played with her each day. Well done, Kathleen.

Stacy was great and made sure my little dude was comfortable at her house; as he can be very anxious in a new place. She had homemade treats and did a doggy painting for the 4th of July (so the dog(s) can be distracted during fireworks). I will definitely be booking with her again!

Beth and family were great with Biscuit! She sent lots of pictures of Biscuit living his best life and playing with her dog. Communication was great, and drop off and pick up a breeze. We did a meet and greet as Biscuit can be afraid of other dogs, and it went well. Would book with Beth again!

Lisa was amazing! She took such great care of our dog Abby while we were away. Abby came home happy, well cared for, and even clean, it seemed like Lisa even gave her a bath while she had her! She was incredibly accommodating, especially when our flight was unexpectedly canceled due to weather. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Abby was in good hands. Highly recommend Lisa!

Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!

Angela is the absolute best. She provided the best care and treated my dog like a king. My high energy dog came back so well behaved and incredibly well groomed, she treated him to spa days, made him amazing homemade health treats, stuck to his routine and provided me so many updates and pictures I was never left questioning his wellbeing. I almost don’t want to leave this review so I don’t have to fight for her care in the future. But she is honestly the best care giver. I don’t want anyone else watching my dog but angela at this point. 100/10. Thank you angela ❤️❤️

Abiola was amazing! I had a trip that was very last minute and she was flexible with the times I needed to drop him off and pick up my dog. I got stuck and wasn’t able to pick him up and she graciously was able to watch him for an extra day. My dog came back calm and relaxed. Abiola is friendly and very easy going, would definitely book her again if she doesn’t mind.

I cannot recommend Marie enough. She is wonderful with my dog, and I always feel so safe leaving her in Marie’s care. She’s been incredibly flexible with us for scheduling needs, and she truly treats my dog like her own. She has become our doggy fairy godmother, and we’re so grateful to have found her. 10/10 I cannot recommend Marie enough 😊

Thankful to Paul and his family for accommodating Bo and Jackson during a challenging sitter scheduling. He picked up my dogs from another sitter, identified some pet injuries, and reported them back to let me know my pets were safe and secure. Thanks to him and his family for providing me peace of mind.
