“Ashley was a great communicator and sent me photos of my dog who looked so genuinely happy. She was wagging her tail and had a smile on her face and it was such a comfort to know she was in good hands and having fun! Thank you, Ashley!!”
“I can't imagine my dog Clancy could be in better hands. Susie gave me several pictures a day and progress reports of how my dog was doing. She even took Clancy with her to drop off her daughter at school. Susie has an enclosed backyard and a large house that is perfect for dog setting. I will definitely use Susie the next time we are out of town.”
“This was Reggie’s first time staying with Kris. It’s was pretty hot those 3 days and 2 nights but luckily Kris’ air conditioned home kept out hound cool and they played in the doggy pool to cool off during the day. We appreciated the photos and updates Kris provided. We would definitely recommend Kris.”
“Elizabeth did a great job taking care of my husky, Kovu, for a weekend. Her and her pup milo were very welcoming and flexible with my schedule. The backyard space is awesome for the pups to run around in and Elizabeth was great about sending daily updates and photos. Would recommend leaving your pet with Elizabeth.”
“Erica was great! Took amazing care of Buzzy and welcomed him right into her home. She was very communicative and sent great updates of their adventures throughout the whole stay.”
“Our plans changed suddenly due to a medical emergency, and she was very accomodating with pickup/dropoff as a result. The yard & house were spacious and lovely, and she kept our puppy feeling safe and loved.”
“Amanda is amazing. She sent me several pictures of Lilly. When Lil was being picky about eating she even made her sone food. I have used Amanda in the past and already have another trip planned for June. I would AND HAVE recommended Amanda for pet sitting. Thank you Amanda, Jamie and your Lil kiddo for taking excellent care of my Lilly”
“Shari was a perfect host to my pup. She sent pictures and messages of reassurance regularly. It was the first time I left Roxy to travel. Though I missed her, I was comforted by Shari’s communications. She followed Roxy’s schedule so when I picked Roxy up her transition was seamless. Thank you so much, Shari. From both of us. I appreciate your caring for Roxy so much.”
“Jean did a great job. She has a great yard for the dogs to run in. She was great with my dogs separation anxiety and didn't leave them alone. She also helped my anxiety with texts And photos. I'm so glad I found her. ”
“Abe did an excellent job watching Kovu over the week of Christmas. We had a very thorough meet and greet beforehand where he met both of the dogs and Abe reviewed all of Kovu's needs with me. Kovu is a Husky and has a lot of energy and sass. I really appreciated the structure he keeps with all the dogs in his home, I felt very assured that Kovu would be safe and cared for. I got pictures and some videos daily, he always seemed to be having a lot of fun and getting along really well with the other pups. I'm pretty sure he was sad to leave his new pals when I came to pick him up. Great communication, excellent care, would 10/10 recommend trusting your pups with Abe! Thanks again, see you next time!”
“Jamie and Nicole were amazing with my dog while I was on vacation. They sent daily updates and were very sweet to my pup. Their communication was fantastic and I could not be more appreciative of them. Will absolutely book with them again in the future.”
“Keelan and Sabrina took great care of our pup Nelson when we were out of town for a long weekend. We planned a meet and greet so Nelson could meet their dogs in advance of boarding and after that went smoothly, they confirmed the booking. They were easy to communicate with, gave plenty of updates and shared pictures each day. We would happily leave Nelson with them again.”
“Love how patient Jacob and Tara are with our pup. We can’t say enough about how caring they are. Our pup comes back tired from her visit, we know she is in the best hands. Thank you!”
“Megan once again went above and beyond in caring for Ginny and Miri over the past weekend. Great communication throughout their stay and the dogs were ecstatic to rebook! I can't recommend Megan enough for your pet boarding needs.”
“Bonnie was so great with Cedar, we knew he was happy and well cared for. So happy we found a great place for Cedar to visit when we need the extra help.”
“Booking with Tommy was so easy and included a meet and greet to make sure your dog gets along with his sweet boy. I got lots of fun pictures and videos that helped me to feel at ease while I was on a trip. You can tell that Tommy really loves caring and working with dogs.”
“Christopher took great care of our older dog over the holiday. Lots of pictures and outside time. Got in a scuffle with his young pup but it was somewhat expected with our dogs temperament and he let us know right away. Thanks Christopher!”
“Elizabeth and her family were perfect for my 13 yr old Golden Retriever, Betsy. I felt that Elizabeth understood and cared about Betsy's limitations as an elderly dog. Elizabeth sent pictures every day and let me know as soon as Betsy had a minor booboo! Betsy got along great with their cat and adorable dog, she actually seemed a bit hesitant to leave the cozy home! I was happy to see that the family walked her and played with her..that is all Betsy wants! Thank you Elizabeth and Sophia!”
“My Sheltie, Larry, made friends with cats, dog, and a visiting dog. Wayne reported he did very well. Thankfully I had no worries while I was out of the country traveling. My dog was very happy to see me although I had worried that he would forget me.”
“Cara spoiled Ren during her stay. We forgot to bring her bed and some treats but she made sure that Ren has her own bed to sleep in. She is also great at updating us what are they up to which makes me feel at ease that Ren is in good hands. She lets Ren enjoy the sunshine by walking her outside. Thanks, Cara!”

Island Station dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kathy is very friendly and knowledgeable. She and the rest of her family have excellent dog intuition and my pups were very comfortable staying with them. I appreciated the informative updates Kathy sent, especially since it was the dogs' first night with them. I will definitely be booking with Kathy again.
I highly recommend Darcy! She took excellent care of our black lab for a weekend stay. We got regular updates with pictures and she even took him to go play fetch at the river! He seemed so happy. Darcy is very communicative and friendly, I’ll definitely have our dog stay with her again when we need a sitter.
Rob and Kristi were fantastic with my Schnauzer. I got regular messages and photos which gave me peace of mind. They were very attentive and he seemed very happy when I returned, but also seemed to enjoy his stay. They took the time to get to know him and his quirks and met his needs beautifully. I highly recommend!
Hollie was incredible, adapting to our schedule and most importantly caring and appreciating our aging dog.. Our dog transitioned between homes easily as Hollie is in tune with animals. I highly recommend Hollie , appreciate her communication and her sense of humor.
Our dog is an integral part of our family, and it is very hard for us to leave him. Finding Alma has been a game changer for us. We feel confident leaving him with someone so warm and kind, and who consistently makes sure we know he is in good hands. Our old guy is super attached to us, but from the first photo we got, it was clear our dog is completely content at Alma’s. I unreservedly recommend Alma.
Christa and Brian are amazing, they treat our dogs like family and shower them with love. Our pups have stayed with them multiple times now and are genuinely excited when we arrive at their place it’s like they get a vacation too. Can’t recommend highly enough.
