“I want to thank you once again for taking such good care of my dog. It was her very first boarding experience, and I was quite anxious at first. However, the frequent updates through messages and photos gave me great peace of mind!! We’ve already made two additional bookings. I’ll be back with a more detailed review next time :) Thank you!”
“Paul and Mimi boarded my two terriers for 10 days. From start to finish this was a perfect experience. They sent frequent updates and photos that made it obvious how lovingly and expertly they cared for my dogs. I cannot thank them enough or recommend them any more highly. The best! I’ll definitely ask them to help again when I travel next. Thank you, Mimi and Paul!!!”
“Laura and her family were absolutely amazing dog sitters! Laura was extremely flexible/accomodating, sent detailed updates and pictures every day, and brought our dog Moe on incredible adventures (hikes, runs, dog parks every day!!) we couldn’t have asked for a better family for Moe to have stayed with. Thank you so much Laura for taking such good care of Moe. He is excited to come back soon!”
“Lei is the most magnificent carer, and if I could give her 10 stars I would. Not only did she take him on the most scenic walks and puppy play dates, her communication was impeccable. I regularly received the cutest photos and videos. Thank you soooo much Lei!! Really appreciate it!!”
“I was very happy with my experience with Jenna (& Ryan). From the very beginning, I felt that Jenna was on top of everything. She had great communication and made me feel like Sady was in great hands. I would definitely book again!”
“Erica was super friendly and very accommodating. She took good care of Loki taking him on nice long walks and sending pictures and videos regularly. 100% recommend!”
“Sam is so lovely and was amazing with handling our energetic pup. Her husband also takes some amazing photos of our pup—giving us frequent updates about his activity.”
“Gage took fantastic care of our pup while we were out of town. Our dog loved him, his other dogs, and his yard. Gage was easy to communicate with, made drop-off and pick up easy, and provided lots of pictures while we were gone. I also really appreciated that he took Tate on lots of outdoor adventures and really wore him out. We took him home exhausted, which as a puppy parent was a nice gift! Overall, I'd highly recommend Gage.”
“Jesse was great with our Bernese Mountain Dog. We had a last minute cancellation and needed someone to take him for the night and Jesse immediately replied and had great communication. He sent photos through the entire stay and our dog seemed to have a great time. Would use Jesse again.”
“Our french bulldog Rufio had such a wonderful time with George and Ludmila! Each time he is in their company we know he will have a blast and we have total peace of mind he will be taken care of. They also went out of their way to help us with some last minute flexibility as our travel plans changed. Highly recommended all around! Thanks both!”
“Betty is amazing! She is an obvious dog lover and truly enjoys being around them. My oldest girl, Penny, took to her immediately during our introduction meeting and continued to love her during her stay with Betty. My little one took a bit longer to warmup but that was not for lack of trying on Betty’s part. Betty was great with updates and pictures during our trip. She listened to any concern I had without judgement. I highly recommend Betty for daycare or boarding and we will definitely use her again!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Sonia. We were gone for a week to the East Coast and were worried about the arrangement working out. From our meet and greet, we knew we were leaving our dog with a professional. And it eased our anxiety. Sonia not only provided a safe place but also cared about Yoda’s social/emotional adjustment. The photos showed that our dog had indeed fallen in love with Sonia and her dogs and was truly enjoying his “vacation.””
“Brian was so wonderful. He took great care of our dog Riley, providing very thorough updates (appreciated when you have a dog with medical conditions). He was very careful to keep work around Riley’s personality quirks too. We would definitely work with Brian again!”
“Gabrielle and Patty take wonderful care of our beloved dog. I get pictures of snuggles, adventures, and playtime, and my dog comes home happy as a clam. I’m so grateful for them and will ask for their help again!”
“Renee and Christopher took great care of Bosco! They shared updates and pictures everyday, and were so accommodating on such a last minute basis. Their two dogs are so sweet and have they have a great setup for dogs, which Bosco clearly loved! Thank you both!!”
“Yue and Harry live in an absolutely stunning, calm, and tranquil part of the city with a fabulously clean and yet comforting, welcoming space that compliments their similarly gracious personalities. They responded immediately upon request with an incredible rate and were proactively and clearly communicative before, during, and after the stay. Without a doubt the best Rover experience I've had. Book for sure.”
“Another great stay at Katie’s! So comforting to have a reliable sitter nearby that is amazing with my little Poe and super accommodating. Highly HIGHLY recommend Katie if you need someone to watch your “little.””
“Derek and Stella took great care of my pup. Oliver can be nervous with new folks but forgot all about me when he was with them. Thank you for all the great pics and updates!”
“Maria was so awesome with my pup. Sent photos to check in with us and gave us a run down when we picked her up over everything that happened. When my dog first goes over to a new place to be watched she takes a day of striking and not eating before she gets comfortable. Maria made it a priority to get her to eat so sprinkled on my tasty treats so she was more enticed to eat! She also played with some dog friends while over at Maria’s as well which is great. Always good to get a little play time in. I will definitely be using Maria again! I was not worried at all being away from her for 8 days. It was also great I did not need to bring over all her things, bed, crate, dog bowls, etc. It made the pick up and drop off even easier! Thank you Maria!”
