“Danieris and Julian are a wonderful and kind couple. They welcomed my dog and communicated regularly about his stay and questions. I would absolutely use them again.”
“Joanne took amazing care of my senior dog! She was extremely accommodating and sent plenty of updates and pictures. Highly highly recommend Joanne to love on your fur baby!”
“Angie is a dog owner so she treated my fur babies like family. She took pictures and videos and sent them to me. This made feel confident that my babies were in good hands. Cooper and Dixies thanks Angie just the same.”
“Thank you so much for watching our boys, George and Cooper, again! It’s great to find someone who loves our boys as much as we do! Thank you again, and see you next year!!”
“Incredibly professional and easy to work with - they sent several photos of Whisky everyday and walked him twice everyday! We very sadly were negatively impacted by Hurricane Helene, and they kept him one additional day free of charge while we navigated losing our home. Thank you for everything Nicole and Matt!”
“Megan is wonderful! Definitely we will see her again soon! She gave me updates and pictures of my baby’s! We find the right place for when we go on vacation our dogs have vacations too! Thanks Megan!”
“Angela and Jorge were so good with our poodle Bailey! They made us feel comfortable in their home and Bailey to feel welcome. The communication was superb and we felt she was well cared-for and happy. We will definitely use them again.”
“Cherisse was awasome!!! My dog definitely enjoyed being over there. She sent lots of videos and pictures!!! I would definitely love my dog to go over there again in the future!!!”
“Christian was absolutely great with Deebo. Very attentive and kept me informed. We received great pup pics. Great location and will definitely recommend him to board your fur baby.”
“This was our first time using James’s for our fur babies and both Winston and Bella just fell into a routine and made themselves right at home! He did a great job entertaining both of our dogs at the same time and loving them equally. They have different foods, and he was able to take care of each of them as they needed to be taken care of. Also, he mentioned that he would keep in touch and send pictures. He absolutely did a great job letting us know how our babies were doing even within a couple hours of dropping them off, and letting us see that they were getting the love and attention they needed. I highly recommend him, and we will use him again in the future!”
“Briana was the perfect host for a long stay. She is easily the best Rover sitter we’ve had. She gave us great pictures, and our dog was happy. Book with confidence.”
“When I tell your that Shelisha made me feel ao comfortable and reassured about my fur babies , she did just that. I was so nervous because I’ve never had my babies shave a sitter but she did her thing. Sent updates,photos, text messages videos. My babies were so happy with her & I love this for them. She is an awesome sitter. Did so well that I didn’t text so much and only one drop in visit . Your fur baboes will be in Great hands with her.”
“She was amazing with our boy! He was very nervous at first but she made him feel welcome and safe. I loved getting pictures and a daily summary from her. She went above and beyond to make his stay enjoyable.”
“Did Ella enjoy their time with Brittanie? I'm glad you asked. Not only our first booking through Rover but the very first time we have left our precious Ella with family. Today it feels like Brittanie is family. She took wonderful care of Ella and was in constant communication with updates and photos. It made us very comfortable to know she was in great hands. We can highly recommend her for your pets to, just be warned, they will become family just as Ella has. She can't wait until her next visit.”
“What a wonderful experience my dog Izzy had with Marcy! Izzy is a 7 lb Morkie that is terrified of other dogs. The bigger the dog, the louder the dog, the more terrified she is, which makes boarding her difficult. Izzy had a great time playing with Marcy’s 5 lb. Betty Boo, so it was a great social experience for my dog. Marcy also is terrific - I knew my dog was getting the best of care in my absence, and all for a reasonable price. I will definitely use Marcy again and if your considering Marcy, don’t hesitate!”
“Maya was an immediate fit for us. We were able to visit with our Bebe ahead of time & were assured the care would be perfect. Maya kept Bebe for 4 days and sent pictures daily to update us on her daily meals & activity. We had peace of mind while traveling knowing our baby was being very well cared for & would certainly book again with Maya.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Lilo. When I picked up my Lilo she wagged her tail and it gave me a sigh of relief because I knew she had a great time. I will be using them again for any occasion if Lilo needs to be taken care of. I’m happy I chose you. Thank you!”

This was our first time using Rover so I was very nervous. We all know our pets are our babies! Our Zoro fell in LOVE with Danieris and Julia instantly and that alone calmed my nerves. They sent updates the whole time and expressed how much they enjoyed him. I would book with them everytime if I have the choice.
Cherisse took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. One of my dogs has separation anxiety, and she went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, eating well, and getting the attention she needed. Cherisse sent daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was on vacation. Her home also has a fully fenced yard, so the dogs could safely roam and play. When my dogs are with Cherisse, I know they are in great hands.
Maria took great care of Loki! Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and she made sure he was treated with so much kindness and attention. I really appreciated how well she looked after him, Loki was happy and comfortable the whole time. I would definitely book with her again! 🐾💙
Kevin has been wonderful….He keeps me updated, and even in my exhaustive busy time traveling it puts a smile on my face and an added relief knowing Maxx is in good hands! Maxx even got a buddy in the way of Kevin’s husky and they go to the dog park to play and also share fun with Kevin’s family!
