“Lyn and family took great care of my dog for the second time. They sent pics and videos of her playing fetch outside. They were super flexible with pickup and drop off times- I was grateful to know my dog was safe and happy while I was away.”
“Will definitely use Kim again. She took time to get to know my dog and really listened to me. Her home and yard were perfect for playing and resting. I felt comfortable leaving her there and appreciated getting a photo”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Allis, her kids, and her doggo were all excellent with Oliver. This week I had to make a last minute booking, so I had to drive out of my way for dog daycare. However, this turned out great, and I now drive further intentionally when I need pet care because they do such a great job. Lots of photo and video updates, which makes days at the office better. Thank you 🙂”
“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“Robert looked after my dog Loki really well. He sent daily updates with photos and videos to keep us informed. Loki had fun during his stay. I’ll definitely be using his services for future needs.”
“Cara sent pictures and updates as to how Daisy was doing at her first visit to her home. She looked content and relaxed in the pictures that were sent. Daisy will be visiting Cara & Petunia in the future. Thanks for taking great care of her.”
“Dar and her family took great care of our dog, Sprout! They were very attentive to her, and she got along great with the other dogs there. We plan to use them again in the future when we can. Thank you!”
“Maricela is an amazing host! She was so flexible with my dates especially during the holiday season. I would recommend her 100x times! She’s great and would definitely use her again. Piper loved every minute of it!”
“My poodle mix, Melanie, used to have anxiety when she came back from the lodging we used to use. With Valentina, we got photos and text updates, and in all the pics, Melanie was happily wagging her tail. When I picked her up, she was so happy and excited! I couldn’t be happier with how Valentina cared for our baby!”
“Tatiana was wonderful! Her kind and calm demeanor put my dog Luna at ease (she is older and can be a little bit nervous around new people). She also was diligent in sending me photos and updates every day—I didn’t have great cell service while I was gone, so whenever I could connect was comforting to see pictures of her without even having to ask for them! I would definitely leave Luna with her again and highly recommend her.”
“Clark had a great time with Eileen and her dogs! Eileen is fantastic to work with - she made us feel so comfortable leaving Clark for the first time, and sent us daily pictures/updates of how he was doing. Would highly recommend Eileen if you need someone to care for your dog as well as you do. Clark can’t wait to go back again!”
“Rosie once again has taken very good care of our little "special needs" doggie, Peanut. My husband and I could tell that Peanut was loved, cuddled, walked, and given much attention- of which we are very grateful for. Rosie is also good at giving Peanut his medicine! We highly recommend her to pet owners in need of a sitter!”
“Colleen was absolutely amazing!! So warm and inviting. She consistently sent me videos and pictures of our pups playing together while I was out of town. She made the drop off and pick up process so effortless and seamless that it took away stress on my travel days. 100% recommend, 100% booking again!”
“Dave did a great job with my dog Bear when we had a long weekend away. It's obvious he cares a lot about dogs and he treated my pup extremely well and kept him active. I will use Dave again for overnight or daycare as I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Kelly took great care of our dog! She checked in and sent pictures and videos. She took him to run around and play fetch, go on walks, and treated him like one of her own pets. We so appreciated the peace of mind having him stay with her while we were out of town.”
“Justine was an amazing dog sitter for our pup, Marvin. Extremely responsive, kind, and willing to help us when we were in a pinch! Any dog would be lucky to stay with her!”

Itasca dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cara was so sweet! She was so good with our Ruby girl. We have never left our dog with anyone besides family prior to this boarding, but Cara made us feel at ease. She sent us daily pictures and updates that my 2 boys enjoyed and looked forward to. We would definitely use her again!
This was our second time leaving Maggie with Robert, and once again, it was a great experience. He sent regular updates with videos and pictures, which made it so easy to feel comfortable while we were away. Maggie got tons of playtime and socialization with the other pups, and she came home happy and tired. We really appreciate the care Robert gives her and will definitely book with him again in the future!
Lyn was very helpful last minute to let me book with her for my two dogs. They loved her house at the meet and greet and I felt so secure leaving my dogs with her for four days. She was excellent in giving them their food and medicines. happy I found Lyn and will definitely book her again. I really appreciated when she would send me updates and pictures and videos!
