“Min and Matt were a last minute booking, but they worked out so well. I was even able to stay an extra day on my vacation while they kept my pup. They made sure to walk and play with him multiple times a day. He was very well cared for and smiled his time at their house. I would highly recommend using them in the future.”
“Renee always does a great job with our two dogs. We never have to worry when we have to go out of town because she is always communicative and cares so much about our pups. We’re so lucky to have found her!!”
“Kathryn and her family did a wonderful job hosting our dog Duke for two weeks. She was flexible, kept us informed of how things were going in a timely manner, and happen to live within walking distance of our house. Highly recommended!”
“Barbara was wonderful & took great care of Ruby!! She kept us updated with photos, videos & messages .. very appreciated. She also enjoyed playing with Dobby .. and came home a happy pup. We look forward to more happy stays with Barbara, Dobby & fam. Tnk you! :)”
“Charity is wonderful with my pup and he loves her - he runs into her house without a backwards glance. And I love the pictures she sends. We never worry about him when he is with Charity.”
“I was hesitant to leave my beagle with someone else while I went on a trip, but as soon as I met Emily and saw her home and yard, I knew it would be OK. It was more than OK! I never worried about Nelly and she clearly had a good time there.”
“Chris watched my dog, Francine while I was away and I can’t recommend him enough. He and his mom treated her like she was their own and provided daily updates and photos throughout her stay. It was a great experience and the most comfortable I’ve felt leaving my dog with someone else. If you need a trustworthy pet sitter, your dog will be in great hands with Chris.”
“She has the sweetest dogs and made mine feel as if they were at home! All dogs get lots of attention and love. Will definitely be sending my dogs to her home away from home she and her wonderful family have made 💕”
“Even thought this was his first visit to Michelle, Rusty was very comfortable wth Michelle and her family. He seemed relaxed and happy when we picked him up. I am sure he enjoyed the large fenced back yard.”
“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”
“Our little nervous dog stayed with them for the fourth time now, and had a lovely time. He loves them, and we could see the great care Alex and Christina took through frequent text updates. We trust them with our dog the most!!”
“We were nervous leaving our 9 month old golden puppy with a sitter for the first time. Ashley was amazing. We did a meet-and-greet before the stay. It was nice seeing her house, huge backyard, and meeting her friendly dogs. Her communication top notch . We got lots of photos, videos and updates during his stay. He had a blast! The whole process significantly exceeded our expectations. We will definitely ask her take care of our puppy again.”
“Janelle & Joel are absolutely fantastic! This was my first time using Rover, and I am so glad I chose them. They sent pics of my pup having the time of his life! Nothing better than having the peace of mind when leaving your fur baby for a weekend! Thanks you two! Will gladly be a returning client!”
“Stacey was awesome! It was such a relief knowing they were well taken care of. One of my dogs is deaf and also has ocd and anxiety. She's on medication. Stacey was great with her and all her needs! My other dog gets nervous going into new houses, but she just bounded right into Stacey's like she lived there. Definitely recommend her for your pet boarding!”
