“David is amazing with dogs he has created dog heaven where they get to live their best life and you can go away safe in the knowledge your dog is in the best hands. David is super flexible and great at communicating would highly recommend.”
“Natalie is amazing! My dog Ellie can struggle with anxiety and fear meeting new people/places, but she seemed immediately comfortable with Natalie during our meet and greet. She was very accommodating, asked great questions at drop off to make sure Ellie was comfortable, and provided updates and photos throughout the stay. We will definitely use her again, I think Ellie was sad to say goodbye.”
“Bella had an absolute blast at Stephanie’s place. She started there for the first day being a bit nervous but Stephanie took very good care of her and made sure she felt comfortable throughout. By day 2 she was going all around the place and by the next day she had made it her home. Stephanie communicated very well throughout making sure she sent timely photos and updates on how Bella s doing. This kept us happy and calm in our time away. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Maggie! She and her husband were wonderful with my dog Luna. They have a lovely home and a great fully fenced backyard. It is evident that they truly are animal lovers and will take great care of your pet. Maggie was also very kind, understanding, and helpful when I ran into an unexpected travel delay (thank you again!). I'll definitely bring Luna back again in the future.”
“Emily took great care of Java! he had many walks. Emily sent pictures consistently and videos too. It was a great experience, and I would board Java with Emily again! She has a big fenced in yard which is a big plus. I would recommend trusting Emily with your pooch, she’s awesome!”
“Yvonne is very kind and caring person. She took care of our dog with love I can feel. Thank you so much, Yvonne!!! We will definitely contact you again when we need it. Highly recommend!!!”
“This was our first longer stay with Holly, and she was a great carer for Beau all throughout! She sent regular updates with photos which really added to our peace of mind throughout the whole trip.

We would definitely ask Holly to watch Beau in the future and truly appreciate her lovingness and professionalism.”

“Jim and his family were wonderful! Chloe was happy and content, and even gave some serious cuddles (she thinks she’s a lapdog in a boxer’s body!). We are so happy with the care and attention Jim gave to our girl while we were out of town, and Chloe enjoyed having some doggie playmates as a bonus!”

Machias dog parents share their Rover experiences
Thank you Currin for watching over our old man Benny while we had to go out of town for a few days! He normally doesnt interact with other dogs (other than just the one we have at home beside him), so I was worried he wouldn't either socialize with your dogs, or he would be too annoying, and just bark at them non-stop. Your pics and updates helped put our minds at ease. I am so happy Benny did so well staying with your family and your dogs! We will definitely book with you again when we need someone to watch him! Thank you again! :)
Thank you Ryan for accepting last minute booking! Ryan was fantastic from start to finish. He took the time to ask questions beforehand to ensure we were comfortable and well-prepared. When we dropped off the dogs, he made sure to get to know them — and us — so they wouldn’t feel afraid or anxious. Throughout the day, Ryan kept us updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. I will definitely book with Ryan again for our next boarding!
Kathy is THE BEST! I never want to have anyone else watch Rufeo because of how much I trust that he is well taken care of! Rufeo recently gained quite a few medications and Kathy did not have any issues giving him his many meds throughout the day and even waking up early with him!! He was happy and healthy when we returned from our out-of-country trip! Will not hesitate to book Kathy again in the future. THANK YOU!
Best boarding experience ever！Puppy so happy to be able to find her second home with friendly warm welcoming host Annalyn, the bubbly pup buddy charlie as accompany and doggy loving kids to play with. She is sure taken good care of and does not want to leave! We received regular updates and very happy to know all good and well 😊
Our dog Arlo is always so happy whenever he stays at Franklin’s house! Franklin is incredibly accommodating. We had a unique situation with two bookings and needed to pick Arlo up for a day in between, and he was kind enough to work with us and let Arlo stay. Arlo absolutely loves spending time with their dog Zi, the two of them play nonstop and it’s clear Arlo feels right at home. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such a caring and fun environment. Highly recommend!
Our pup had the absolute best time with Devon and her family. He went on lots of walks and played in their yard and came back so tired and happy. Devon was great at communicating and we received pictures from her daily. We couldn't have asked for a better experience 😊
We boarded our two dogs with Tayler while on a trip overseas and had a worry-free time knowing they were in such good hands! Tayler’s communication before and during boarding was super clear, and she sent daily updates (with photos), which were the highlight of our day. We returned to two very happy, very healthy pups! We’ll definitely be booking with Tayler again in the coming months.
