“I rarely need to obtain a sitter for Winston however I cannot begin to tell you the Love, kindness, and sense that he is well taken care of while he is with Brandon and Amanda. They are very good at making Winston and I feel at ease especially when we initially separate. They have a huge backyard that is fenced for a lot of playtimes especially with his magic ball. I would highly recommend them to everyone!”
“Piper had a great time and everything went so smoothly with Emily. She sent us daily pictures of Piper. Drop off and pick up were so easy. We would for sure use Emily in the future!”
“Ellen did an amazing job caring for my 2 dogs! She followed all instructions and sent pictures throughout the day. My dogs seemed to be very comfortable with her. Highly recommend!”
“Michelle gave frequent updates and Winnie seems like she had a great time and fit right into the family. She especially enjoyed playing and hanging out with Michelle’s son”
“Dana watched our two Cavapoo puppies, 14 weeks old, for 11 days. We got frequent pictures during their stay of them at play and hanging with her dogs. We highly recommend her and will definitely want to book with her again.”
“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”
“Ella LOVES her time with Kathryn and Teddy who is ALWAYS super communicative and has a positive attitude! We appreciate Kathryn and her patience so much and looking forward to future stays!”
“Amy was so good with Presley! She took care of her just as we would at home. She was so good as staying on top of Presley’s pills too. Would definitely choose Amy again to watch our Presley!!”
“Outstanding host couple. Great feedback throughout the stay, communicated very well and were flexible on drop off and pick ups matching our travel needs. We will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you Nate & Alyissia !!!”
“Emily was amazing with our Goose! Not only was she able to take him on such a short notice, she was excited about having him stay with her. She sent me daily pictures and updates of Goose playing with her pups and having a fantastic time. Emily’s communication was fantastic and helped ease any anxiety I had about not being able to bring Goose with us on a road trip. I cannot say how thankful I am that Emily was able to watch and care for our dog on such a short notice and during the Thanksgiving week. We definitely will be recommending Emily and booking with her for any future needs. Absolutely amazing, I cannot say it enough.”
“I cannot express how amazing Emily and her family have been. I’ve had her watch my pup multiple times and each time he comes back happy and tired from all of the running and playing!”
“Communication was great and I got daily updates. Lucy felt comfortable enough to eat while I was away (she usually goes on a hunger strike) and Amy was flexible with our pickup time. Thank you for taking great care of my 😇”
“Alexandria was really wonderful with my dog Henry! She was great at communicating both before and during my dog's stay. Henry seemed to have a great time and got along well with her sweet dogs!”
“Emily was great with Ivy! She sent me regular updates of a very happy pupper. Ivy came home happy and tired which means she spent her time romping with Emily's pack. I couldn't recommend Emily enough!”
“Hallie was awesome with our dog for a long weekend trip. She has a nice clean home with a fenced in yard. We felt really comfortable the whole time and did not worry about Foss at all. He did great with her pups and it’s obvious she cares so much about our dog’s well-being which is exactly what we want when leaving our dog with someone. She was quick to respond to all of our messages, too.”
“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Rachel! I was so anxious about leaving my pug Geo with a sitter. Rachel and her family and fur baby took such good care of Geo. I highly highly recommend Rachel she cares for your pet as if it’s her own and Geo had a blast!”
“Heather was outstanding. My fur babies were well taken care of and both her and her daughter played and involved them in their daily routines. This was the first time I had used Rover and if all of the care givers are as well trained and loving as Heather you won’t regret using them. I will use Heather again and recommend her to everyone.”
“So grateful to Cody for watching our Merle!! She was fantastic, sending pictures and making sure he got plenty of playtime outdoors for his entire stay! Cannot recommend her enough!?”
