We had a wonderful experience. They took great care of our dog and were incredibly understanding and accommodating when my flight was unexpectedly canceled. I had to book an extra night last minute, and they were so flexible and kind about it, which truly relieved a lot of stress for me. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with them. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate care.

This was my first time booking with Bobbi, and she was absolutely fantastic! From the very start, her communication was excellent and made me feel totally at ease. My dogs looked relaxed and happy when I picked them up, and I could tell they were well cared for and got plenty of walks and attention. They even made some new pup friends while staying with her! I really appreciated the updates and just how smoothly everything went. I’ll definitely be booking with Bobbi again!

Amanda did awesome caring for our Boston Terrier, Moses. She sent photo updates regularly and even let him sleep with them in the bed after I let her know how much he loves to snuggle and be close to humans! I feel like she knows what she is doing as she cares for all the dogs needs that are in her care! I recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their pup and I will definitely be calling again to board, Moses. (probably towards the end of March) :)

This was our first time using Rover and Aliesha and we’re really glad we did. She took great care of our two boys. We knew after our meet and greet that her and her sweet dog Otto would be perfect for our pups. They seemed to fit right in and got along perfectly. Our boys came home happy healthy and exhausted from all the play time! Will definitely use again!!

The BEST!!! 🐾 🐕Meredith is an absolute lifesaver! We needed emergency boarding during a stressful life transition, and she provided a safe, nurturing space for our ESA (who had sadly been mistreated in someone else's care). Our sweet dog is sometimes fearful and timid, but Meredith was patient, understanding, and helped show his true gentle nature. Highly recommend! 🐾 🏆

First time using Rover. Molly, her pups and home environment were very welcoming. My old dog has an expensive dislike to the crowded and noisy concrete boarding facilities. She seemed to enjoy staying in a quiet home like setting with a great backyard and a calming human. I will definitely use Molly again. Convenient and quick drop off and pick up. Thank you!

Lizzie was incredible! My Bruce had sooooo much fun staying with her pack (human and animals alike). Her own dogs were very friendly with him and welcoming, and she spoiled him with lots of long walks, trips to the dog park, and games of fetch. He was a super happy pup when I picked him up and can't wait to book with her again!

Dylan was a perfect fit! He is great at communicating with you, and makes the whole process smooth and easy. He is well versed in various breeds and enjoys their companionship. Our puppy was still learning, and Dylan was able to continue the process and schedule. I would highly recommend utilizing his services if you are in need of someone.

Oly-dog had a great time during his week-long stay. Xavier helped put me at ease through clear communication, responsiveness, and follow-through with Oly's care plan. I'm myself a sitter with about 1,000 bookings through Rover, so I know a good-one from a lackluster-one; Xavier makes the cut. Oly would stay again.

Dee Anne took fabulous care of our big boy, Cowboy (110-pound German Shepherd)! She took him on walks to the park, played ball with him in her wonderful fenced yard, and just gave him lots of love and attention. And she kept us posted with photos and updates so we never had to worry or wonder how he was doing. When we went to pick him up, it was obvious that he had had a wonderful time. He was happy as a lark playing fetch with her outside. We will definitely trust her with Cowboy again!

Trina is awesome! She takes such great care of Max, helps him have lots of play time with her pups who he loves, and is very communicative with me on what he's up to which I really appreciate. She has helped when Max needs daily eye drops and gives him his daily dental treat which is so helpful so he can have consistency. Max has an amazing time and is always so excited to have sleepovers with Trina, Bruiser, and Peaches.
