“As always, Matt is a fantastic dogsitter. He took great care of our Dalmatian and Dachshund while we were out of the country, even giving extra love and TLC to our little girl when she had some tummy upset.”
“We had another great experience with Sarah as she took care of our little dog, Dash, for almost a week. She sent pictures of him throughout his stay, and he looked content. She kept an eye on some of his minor medical issues and was ready to apply medicine if needed. We were thankful that she also coordinated with our sister-in-law for pick up when we had not yet returned from our trip. All went smoothly. We hope to bring Dash back when we take future trips.”
“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”
“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”
“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Best dog sitter ever!! She sent just the right amount of updates and took such great care of our baby! Will be using her for future trips. Thank you so much for the peace of mind you gave us while we were away.”
“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”
“They always treat our dog with the utmost respect and care. We feel their home is an extension of our own. Couldn’t be happier to have them watch our baby”
“This is my second time using Nicole for boarding my golden retriever. Her home is well equipped for dogs and she takes great care of them. Timely communicator and I would recommend!”
“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Hilary and Willy were excellent hosts for Banjo! Our introduction started with a meet and greet, where Hilary spent a bit of time getting to know Banjo and ensuring she knew everything she could ahead of his stay. During his stay they sent several pics to let me know he was doing ok, which is always great when you're leaving your furry friend with new people. They took him for lots of walks and did whatever they could to make sure he was comfortable. Hilary and Willy are both super sweet people and I was very comfortable leaving Banjo in their care. It was evident upon first meeting that they really love spending time with animals and I didn't worry for one second that they would treat Banjo like he was their own. I will definitely use their services again!”
“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”
“Kat was great with our dog, Myrtle. She took Myrtle on plenty of walks and on a hike. She also provided plenty of updates/pictures throughout the day of Myrtle. Would definitely recommend using Kat as your dog sitter.”
“Donetta is the absolute best! She provided regular updates with photos over the course of my pup’s stay. She creates an environment that made my pup feel right at home. I could tell that Fiona had a great time because she came home completely exhausted. Donetta was also flexible when I needed to extend the reservation and additional night. Thank you so much. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!”
“Amanda was great! My pup had so much fun. So much to the point I didn’t think she wanted to leave. :) Amanda has a lot of experience with dogs because she has two rescues. I really trusted her and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my baby with Amanda again.”
