“April took such great care of Stan! She sent us daily updates with very cute photos. Stan seemed very comfortable there and like he had a lot of fun. We’ll definitely use April again in the future!”
2. Karen M.
“Great experience boarding our pup with Karen. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with taking care of your pup where you will be comfortable they will make the right decisions if anything unexpected arises. We are glad we spent the time to find and board with Karen.”
3. Karen & Hisako N.
“Phoebe had a great time with Karen & Hisako. They shared photos and updated me throughout her stay. Phoebe came home happy and healthy, will be requesting their help again in the future.”
4. Lee J.
“I wasn’t sure if my dog Toby would want to come home because I could tell he was having the time of his life all weekend long. I look forward to Toby spending more time at Lee’s home again soon!”
5. Lilly R.
“Lily and her husband were amazing with Bugsy. They kept us informed daily on updates. Bugsy got emotionally attached to them. They even tried to teach him new tricks! Will definitely recommend them and be back in the future!”
6. Jeff & Beth K.
“My pup clearly had an amazing time w Jeff, Beth and the family! They were extremely communicative, sending lots of pics and recaps of activities. They have a great house and yard and took him on daily adventures. So worth the comfort of knowing he’s being well cared for. Highly recommend!”
7. Pablo S.
“Pablo and his wife Clare were so awesome and gentle with our anxious fella Gumbo. Pablo kept us informed of their activities and send pics and videos throughout the stay. We’re so grateful that Gumbo is being loved and cared for while we’re away!”
8. Mary C.
“This was Rex’s second stay with Mary and Murphy Brown and we couldn’t be happier! Mary is so great and patient with Rex! As a super senior he is on multiple meds and needs potty breaks quite frequently, and Mary jumped right in without skipping a beat. She was in constant communication and shared tons of photos to give me peace of mind during my trip! Rex will be back again next month!”
9. Jennifer L.
“They were so sweet to our fur babies including a brand new stray rescue we weren’t super sure how she’d behave, but she did great! Extra plus their place is a cat haven 😻”
10. Sara B.
“This was our second time having Sara board our pup, and she was awesome just like she was last time! It was over the New Year and we had forgotten to drop off our dogs thunder coat, but she did an amazing job helping him get through the stressful night of fireworks. She’s very communicative, responsive, and responsible, and I highly recommend her to anyone!”
11. Angela H.
“Semi had a great stay! Angela was extremely communicative, and her son was the perfect companion for my pup. I also appreciated Angela’s flexibility and trustworthiness!”
12. Danielle M.
“Danielle is so patient with our new pup! He had an accident and she gave him a belly band with no issues at all. They took him to the beach for his one night stay this time. Chili loves Danielle and her fam!”
13. Melina B.
“Melina is super sweet, caring and full of positive energy. She is great with communication, very punctual and fast to respond. Our puppy seemed super happy from the minute he met Melina until the end of his stay. We are sure he had a pleasant time and enjoyed his stay. We cannot recommend her enough, we already rebooked her twice and will always do if she is available!”
14. Anthony A.
“My son’s dog Dobby stayed with Anthony and Nikita for about 10 days, and our experience couldn’t have been any better. Both are genuinely great, sweet people who love dogs. We did a meet and greet before dropping Dobby off, which I think was very helpful and put Dobby at ease when we finally dropped him off. They were very kind and attentive to Dobby’s needs. I was concerned about Dobby staying in someone else’s house with another dog because he is a rescue and he’s kind of skittish, but Dobby and Mia got along really well. Nikita sent me daily updates and photos and that was very reassuring. I also really appreciated the fact that they took Dobby out on hikes and walks with them. That was a real plus, since Dobby is an active dog. I would highly recommend Anthony and Nikita to anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. I’ll be using them again in the future when I get a new dog!!! :)”
15. Jane C.
“I felt really comfortable leaving my dog with Jane. She sure took care of him well and he came back very happy dog.”
16. Kelly L.
“Kelly is truly a rare gem. We were so lucky to find her on Rover. Having a puppy with true separation anxiety requires suspending absences. Knowing Kelly will never leave Nino alone is so comforting. She’s also great with regular updates and pictures which we appreciate so much. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Nino!”
17. Chanakarn & Jakree V.
“Dashi had the best time with Chanakarn and Jake! They sent us consistent updates everyday, made sure he ate his meals and stayed safe and healthy, and overall gave my partner and I peace of mind while we were on vacation! This was the first time we ever truly trusted a sitter to watch him since he had special needs. They were AMAZING and are officially our go-to dog sitters for anything!”
18. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie is absolutely amazing. She watched both of our dogs for a week and provided daily updates on what they were up to and included some amazing pictures. One of our dogs wasn’t feeling amazing a few of the days and Stephanie went above and beyond to notify us and even offered to take the dog to the vet. Both dogs are properly exhausted after an amazing visit with Stephanie, even teaching me a fun game to play with the dogs! I 100% trust Stephanie with my dogs and honestly can’t put into words how happy I am to have found her.”
19. Charlene M.
“Very kind and caring. Charlene is also very professional and flexible. She took excellent care of my senior dog. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsive and experienced sitter.”
20. Jennifer & Jordan L.
“Jennifer and Jordon were amazing! They took my fur babe right in as their own. They were super accommodating with drop off and pick up times as well as communicative for the duration of his stay. They made sure he felt right at home and kept me updated on the activities of the day or any changes they may have had to implement due to weather (i.e. couldnt go to the dog park today because of the rain but we gave him a frozen treat to help expend some energy; we got to the dog park and he wanted to play in all the puddles, we got him all bathed and cleaned up though! Insert adorable picture of my dog wrapped in a towel, haha). I got plenty of picture updates and knew he was in great company. I would highly recommend them for your next boarding needs! I will definitely be using them for any future trips. Thank you for taking such great care of Maverick!♡”
