“Best of the best!! I am such a worrier it is not funny. Inherited that trait from my mom. With my two pups here, I do not worry at all, and that is saying something. I feel super comfortable leaving the dogs here. To them it is like a visit with family. They love it and get super excited when they know we are close. Highly recommend this home as a safe place for your dogs!”
“Jessica and John spent much quality time with my dog, Charlie. He was well cared for and was in good spirits when he got home. I am so glad to find a good fit for my dog while I travel.”
“Brody and his Dad are the best. The set up is perfect..the dogs loved the large fenced yard to run and play. They came home happy and loved. Moose is an older Shitzu mix, with cataracts and is hard of hearing, but Brody gave him extra love, during his week long stay, and sent photos and videos. Bentley is a 7yr old toy Manchester Terrier, who had the time of his life playing with the other dogs!Brody (and his Dad) cared for our dogs so well. A big thanks!”
“Suzanne was amazing! After talking to her about our dogs and their needs, I knew 100% that she was the right person. We have a senior dog (14 years old) and a 6 year old with an unfortunate past and has many triggers. Both of them took to her right away as she is such a warm, kind person - I immediately felt comfortable leaving them with her. She took them on beautiful hikes and sent some pictures to us which was greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Suzanne!”
“I am so glad that I found Vicky through Rover! She did a wonderful job caring for my sweet Fiona. Vicky was communicative, caring, and made our dog feel at home in her care. I highly recommend her services!”
“Craig was amazing! We had special requests for our dog that he was happy to help with and everything went smoothly! Craig was so great with communication and very reliable. I would 100% recommend him to anyone and would book with him next time we're in the area!”
“Heaven is definitely my First Choice when I am in need of a sitter for my Fur Baby! Heaven’s sweet disposition puts you at ease knowing that your “baby” is in good hands! If you’re looking for a sitter, Heaven is your girl :)”
“I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for my puppy! Carola took such great care of Bowie while I was away for a few days. Would definitely recommend her services to a friend :)”
“I highly recommend Chelsea as a dog sitter! She took amazing care of my pups, keeping them happy, safe, and well-loved while I was away. Chelsea is reliable, friendly, and kept my mind as ease. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Katherine was great with our maltipoo. She was very accommodating regarding drop off and pick up times and she sent us lots of photos and kept us regularly informed of how he was doing. Bengy seemed very happy in the photos and when we picked him up. Thank you very much Katherine.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Wendy and Linda did an amazing job with Brady. We were away for three nights and they kept us up to date with texts and pictures of Brady. I think they may have actually spoiled him more than we do. We will be using Wendy and Linda again for sure.”
“This was the first time Cooper stayed with Kenzie and he loved it! I truly appreciate the 30 minute meet & greet before our actual boarding day. It gave both Coop and I an opportunity to see if it would be a good fit and not be a stress on him. He had so much fun! I highly recommend Kenzie.”
“Tiffany was amazing with our dog. He wasn’t anxious at all when we left him with her. She sent photos and updates when we checked in about him. And our dog was playing happily when we picked him up. Everything was exactly as described in her post about her care and services.”
