“Boarding is not the word to describe when leaving your dog in the care of Ruby, and the extra drive to Waterloo was well worth it. I was skeptical dropping my dog off with a stranger, but Ruby reassured me I would be updated and I could contact her.It was very clear from the pictures and texts Hailey was having a mini vacation I have already set up the next stay.I will be telling everyone about the time Hailey had at Ruby's and the video of my dog playing with a goat!”


“Ellen is amazing!! When I was seeking someone to care for my Finnish Lapphound, I needed to find that special person who cared as much as I do, Ellen is that person. She provided us updates throughout his stay. Their fenced in backyard, is a doggie heaven! We will definitely use her services again!! Rest assured that your pet is in safe and loving hands under Ellen's care. Thank you Ellen!!”


“Gilian introduced Logan to her space and observed him with her own dogs during our initial meet and greet. After that introduction I felt confident Gilian would be the perfect dog sitter. I could tell that she was tuned in to how Logan responded to her environment and to her other dogs . She demonstrated understanding with regard to caring for a senior dog . Gilian is flexible, kind, appropriate, patient, communicative, responsive and experienced. I loved the photos and daily summaries I received while Logan stayed with her. I will not hesitate to leave Logan with Gilian during my future travels.”


“Tanya was amazing. We had tried to find a pet sitter for our very anxious/sometimes aggressive dog Millie for a long time, and finally met Tanya. She clearly is very passionate about helping animals feel safe and cared for, and was so compassionate about our poor dog's fears and problems. We did a trial sleepover before our 10-day trip and it went great. When we were on our trip, Tanya sent us frequent updates and videos, showing how well Millie was doing. She replied quickly to our texts and was very reassuring. When we picked Millie up, she appeared well cared-for and fine (or as fine as our dog gets!) We HIGHLY recommend Tanya!”


“5 stars!! ⭐️ 🌟 🌟 💫 ⭐️ Jessica is amazing! She graciously dealt with our uncertain and hetic schedules. She went over and above, driving to my home to pick my dog up. Even when he was initially bashful/scared, she waited and took extra time. Gave him extra love and care, car rides, treats, and nap time together. I felt he was safe, content, and at ease while in Jessica’s home. We will definitely be hiring her again!!”


“David is one of the very few people we have grown to trust with our baby Jynx. She loved going to his house to play and always cones back tired and happy! Another great visit!”


“Joan did a wonderful job caring for our sweet geriatric dog, Daisy. She needed a laid back, comfortable take-it-slow environment and Joan and her dogs were a great fit for her. We got pictures every day which assured us that Daisy was enjoying her "summer camp" experience as we enjoyed our trip away.”


“Last minute booking and sitter was super accommodating! Kept me posted with pics and videos. I felt super comfortable and that my pup was in good hands as soon as I walked in the door! Highly highly recommend!”


“We love Emily so much! She and her family are like a second home to our dog and we are grateful for how loving and caring she is to him. Highly recommend her for any services!”


“Such a treat to have Duane & Lauren take care of my pup, Rapha while I was away. They are very responsive and attentive to the needs of both owner and doggie. Thank you!”


“This was my first time using Rover.com and I was a little nervous leaving my senior dog Buddy with someone I didn't know because Buddy was a rescue and I am his 3rd owner. Buddy doesn't like to be kenneled and gets anxious being separated from me. Buddy probably feels like he's being given up again. That's why I thought having one on one care in someones home would be best. Bob took extra care for my little guy during his stay. I know Buddy feels comfortable with someone if he eats his food and he did! Thank you Bob!! I will definitely book with Bob again!”


“Clover had an awesome time with Sarah and her pups. This was our first time using Rover and Sarah made us super comfortable with the process. She was very fast with responses, and sent updates and photos while we were away. Her dogs were very friendly with us and made quick friends with Clover. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely use again.”


“I would absolutely recommend Yoki and Derek to care for Wrigley again! Wrigley was well cared for and played all weekend, coming home a tired pup! Very nice photo updates.”


“Edith is a fantastic! My dog Maxx absolutely loves spending time with her. She keeps me well informed with regular updates and photos, so I never worry when I’m away. Edith is also very flexible with my schedule and has been very accommodating. I feel completely comfortable leaving Maxx in her care. Being new to Madison, we were lucky to have found her.”


“I could not ask for a better care provider for my Maltese Ollie, who has been cared for by only family members until recently! Hope went above and beyond to ensure that Ollie was comfortable while I was away. She invited Ollie and me to her home before committing to caring for Ollie. She was honest in sharing his daily joys and stressors, which was refreshing! She also provided suggestions to improve Ollie's comfort the next time I am away - too awesome!”


“Julie & her family were AMAZING with our girl! We got pictures everyday from their walk & naps. It was such a relief to know our dog was taken care of and in the best of hands. 100% will book with Julie again!”


“Rebecca was very friendly and welcoming to our dog. She has a large yard and enjoys being outdoors, so your dog will have lots of fun roaming the yard and stretching their legs. She’s a passionate dog lover and has experience which made us feel comfortable leaving our senior dog. We would use her services again!”
