Morgan did an incredible job with Rusty and was very adherent to his normal schedule. I received picture updates while I was away which always makes it easier to leave my pup knowing he’s in good hands. I already have Morgan booked again!

Jason took great care of our dog. He woud sent multiple pics (30+ pics in a day!), and ensure that the daily routine was followed. He went above and beyond to ensure that things were going great while we were traveling. I’d definitely recommend Jason.

Gina is friendly and accommodating 😀. Her house is wonderful and very "puppy proof". There is space for the pups to play and a great selection of toys/bones. My dog made himself right at home during the meet & greet and didn't want to leave! 😅 She sent pictures/video during the stay. I also got sick during my trip and she was very kind to offer and drop Charlie off so I didn't have to drive there when I didn't feel good.

Melia and Benjamin took great care of our dog Zeus. Their friendly dogs were the best companions! He had great time with them. He came back even more energetic than he was before his stay with Melia and Benjamin! I would definitely recommend them! Thanks for raking care of our dog!

Yutana is wonderful dog sitter! I’m glad to have her to take care of Kit over the labor weekend. She made sure Kit (who is an older dog) was comfortable with her young pup Altas. Yutana sent lots of pictures which was awesome to get! I can tell Kit had a great time in her care! Kit is catching up on her naps a lot!

Jake is definitely the most responsible person I have ever met. He always answered my questions very quickly. My two cats are well looked after by him. He knows how to care for cats with different personalities. When we came to pick up the cat, Jake had already packed the cat's things in advance. My cats get along so well with him, they don't even want to go home! He is really nice. 100% recommend him.

Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.

Sarina was very sweet and attentive of my husky’s needs at all times. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her because of her extensive experience with high energy breeds. Also had a cute dog that my husky enjoyed playing with. Thank you Sarina. ??

I was so pleased with Sidney. My dog had a great time during her stay! It was like a summer camp for dogs...so many trips to the dog park and relaxing in kiddie pools! Sidney's dog J.C. was also a great companion for my dog. Sidney was also a great communicator. I received numerous updates, pictures, and videos. I would definitely book with Sidney again!

This was the first time we used Rover, and I was so happy that we found Kasey and her family. It was obvious from the moment I met her and her family that they loved caring for animals. Pepper enjoyed his stay and was given such great care. Kasey was such a great communicator- I received several pictures and updates that made me realize that he was getting lots of attention and love. This really helped calmed my worries regarding him while I was away. I can't say enough great things about Kasey and her family but was so grateful for their willingness to take care of my dog like he was their own. Would definitely book with Kasey again- she was wonderful!

This was our first time boarding our dog anywhere, but Travis made us feel very comfortable and reassured that Percy would be in good hands. We also really appreciated that he sent us daily updates and pictures! I really can’t recommend Travis enough, and will definitely try to board our dog with him the next time we have to go out of town again.

Abby is great with my pets! My senior dog, Diesel, has a tendency to cry and howl while I'm gone, but she treats it as if it's music to her ears. My cat Frankie can be a little menace sometimes trying to open cupboards, etc. However, Abby finds this as a great time to play with him.

Charlie, loved his visit with Macy and Luke. When we met Macy, she immediately greeted Charlie with tender attention and warmth. We received cute photos while we were at the football game, and we didn't worry about him at all while he had his "sleep over:) When we picked Charlie up on Sunday morning, Macy was ready with him outside, and he seemed so calm and happy. Our dog has issues with anxiety, but it was immediately evident that he felt comfortable with Macy. Normally, he'd race to us with a "take me home" look, but he stayed by her side until we reached down to pick him up:). Our son is in grad school in Iowa City, and we would absolutely leave Charlie with Macy and Luke again while visiting town. We recommend them very highly.

Madison did great with Kinnick! He has a fear of hardwood and she put blankets down and made him feel right at home. He didn’t want to leave when I picked up. Highly recommend!!

Danny took great care of my dog Bodi while I was out of town. Many walks, trips to the dog park and cuddles just like at home. Danny sent many updates with photos and I felt at ease knowing my dog was safe and happy. Thank you Danny!

I would 10/10 recommend Marina. She cared for my dog Flaca for a month while I was out of town. Flaca barely wanted to come home after staying with Marina.
