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 my first time using Rover and I was very pleased. Karla was very responsive and followed-up with me regularly during my time away. I felt comfortable leaving my dog, Ben, under her care and will certainly rebook with her in the future.

Mary has kept our dogs many times and we could not be more pleased!! Our girls get excited when we pull into her neighborhood, which is so amazing because we have always felt guilty leaving them when we go on trips. Mary’s dog Chester is a total sweetheart and gets along great with our dogs. We will keep using Mary’s sitting services as long as she’ll have us!!!! And recommend anyone else to do the same. ❤️

Cherisse was amazing with my little guy Sampson. It was our first time leaving him with anyone. He is almost 13 years old and doesn't like eating his food anyplace but home. She was able to make him feel comfortable and safe that he ate. I can't even get him to eat outside, so I'm grateful to her for taking care of him. He has always had a hard time trusting because he has been attacked by other dogs. She sent me a lot of pictures so I would able to know he was happy and doing great.

First boarding experience for Louie, our baby, and for my husband and I, his parents and we couldn't be happier. Selenah provided tender loving care to Louie and kept us informed through messages; texts, videos, and pictures about how he was doing. He did great and Selenah is so patient and knew how to give him some space to process this new and stressful situation for him, thus he adapted, came around to her and calmed down faster.

Luz was awesome. She sent no less than three pictures of our dog every day while we were on vacation. Our dog requires medication three times daily and putting our trust in Luz to administer those doses worked out real well. Next time we need a dog sitter, you better believe we’ll reach out to her again.

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!

We had never left our enthusiastic year old lab with anyone other than family but Megan welcomed Ozzie and returned him to us in good condition and seemingly happy. I would bring Ozzie back again.

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.

I am so thankful for having the opportunity to leave Riley with Angie at her house. She is a pro!! Angie was caring and firm with Riley who is very playful and needed some behavior correction. She did it with passion and love. She is a natural dog sitter. Also, Angie is super organized, her house is clean and cozy. The yard is properly maintained. I highly recommend Angie and I am definitely planning on using her professional services again soon.

Melissa was a wonderful babysitter for our fur-baby, Chevi💗 She was so thoughtful of our feelings of leaving her with someone we didn’t know before. She sent us several pictures every day of their walks, which is Chevi’s favorite thing to do, along with playing Tug-o -war with her stuffed animals. Chevi had to be on a specific diet for a while and she did great at making sure that this diet was followed. Melissa was a great comfort to us during this time away!!

We are so grateful for the amazing care our fur baby received over Thanksgiving! She was incredibly sweet and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We got daily updates and the cutest pictures, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. It truly means so much knowing he was in such loving hands. We would absolutely love to use her again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter! 🐾💛
