“Our first Rover experience was last weekend with Lace and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Auggie was a little nervous at drop off and she was so calm and patient with him. He warmed up quickly after I left, and she sent a photo to show him getting cozy with her pup, Tynan. Throughout the weekend, Lace was extremely responsive to any messages we sent and shared lots of photos and updates. When we were running late for pick-up due to traffic, Lace was so accommodating and brought Auggie to our house just before we arrived. If we could give her more than 5 stars, we would!”


“Winn was the best to work with! He was extremely responsive to messages, met us for a meet and greet with our pup to get her comfortable with his space. He was attentive to our pup paying close attention to her temperament and making sure she felt comfortable in his space. She is wary of new people but warmed up to him nicely. Highly recommend Winn and we will be returning clients for sure.”


“Kwangwoo was great with Bentley! Super communicative, easy to find times for pick up and drop off. He also sent some fun pictures and kept us updated of Bentley's day. Everything was packed up and ready to go when we came to pick up Bentley! Would definitely recommend and work with Kwangwoo again”


“We went on vacation for a week and Obi had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Jen. He stayed active and played with other dogs. Obi is sometimes a picky eater and they managed really well.”


“Lyv and Alieu were amazing! It was Monty's first Rover experience/first time staying overnight with new people, and he's still adapting to life outside the shelter, so naturally, we were a bit nervous. Lyv was very communicative the entire weekend, and it was very apparent that they have a ton of experience with all types of dogs. Monty is very finicky, and we know he can be a difficult house guest at times, but it was clear that Lyv adapted quickly to his needs and read his emotions very well. Monty had a bit of a tough time one night, but Lyv communicated with me immediately and was so kind and understanding about his less-than-ideal behavior. As a first-time dog mom with an anxious dog who is still exhibiting new behaviors randomly, I really appreciated Lyv's kindness, care, and compassion.”


“Tyler and his fiancé were amazing with my dog ! They took well care of him for a week and sent me daily news with pictures. My dog missed them when he came back home ! I highly recommand Tyler and I will work with him again the next time we go away.”


“We are so lucky we found Laura! She was wonderful with Biscuit. She was flexible, communicative, helpful, and great with our pup! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”


“We’re so grateful for the amazing care our dogs, Cloe and Luna, received! They were clearly happy and comfortable, and we really appreciated all the photos and videos Casey sent us while we were away. It was really reassuring to know they were in good hands. We'd definitely leave them with her again!”


“Kaitlyn was so responsive and made me feel at ease watching Winston three nights. Winston was so calm and happy with I arrived! Thank you Kaitlyn I highly recommend! 💗”


“Anastasia did an amazing job caring for our dog, Bella. She asked the right questions, communicated effectively and we could tell Bella had a great time :) Thank you again!”


“Mariah was awesome with my dog Callie! Super easy to communicate with, gave great updates, and I could tell Callie was in good hands the whole time. Would definitely book again”



“Best ever!!!!! We just came back from our first trip away from Stella. It was traumatic for us and we were worried before we left. But Lyn made everything ok! We got regular picture and videos. Lyn loved Stella and took care of her like she was her own puppy. Not only that. The day before we left, we had a trip to the animal ER, so Lyn got a dog with bandaged paws. Lyn was gentle and kind and in spite of the surprise, was ready to care for Stella. We came home to a happy and healthy puppy! I can’t say enough about how grateful we are.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Sophia her family and Rex! Communication was always excellent and my dog had a blast, with them. He went on nature walks and got plenty of love and playtime. Also, their dog Rex is the BEST boy with an amazing, temperament. He’s a sweetheart, who loves belly rubs and is my dog’s new, best friend. Highly recommended!”


“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”


“Jess is amazing. She is so patient and kind with our overly energetic husky puppy. She is flexible and able to work with you on your schedule. Highly recommend. Will use her services again!”


“Yick-hong was FANTASTIC with Fiona! From the start, he was very communicative and thorough with the intake before the actual boarding. While Fiona stayed with Yick-hong, we could see that she was very comfortable and happy from her body language. He took great care of her, took her on scenic walks, played with her, pampered her - and even taught her new tricks! We are very happy that Fiona made a new friend, and would happily leave her with Yick-hong again. Fantastic sitter and companion”


“Emma was amazing!! Her and her boyfriend took incredible care of Parker. I was terrified because Parker has never been to the city but Emma made me feel so much better and sent me so many pictures and updates. I am so grateful my puppy was in such wonderful hands. Thank you again Emma!!!!”
