“Accommodated with short notice. Encouraged a meet and greet, even came to us due to our schedule. Immediately felt at ease leaving Fletcher for the day. He looked happy in the photos sent.”
“Paul was great looking after Nellie over thanksgiving! Sent a bunch of photos throughout the week of her with his family and gave updates throughout her stay. Nellie can be a bit shy initially and Paul gave her the time and patience to come out of her shell and fell more comfortable with his family. Will definetly use Paul again!”
“Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.”
“Susan was great with our senior dog! We loved getting the daily updates and could tell our pup received excellent care and his routine was very similar to the one he keeps at our home. Would recommend Susan in a heartbeat!”
About: COZY HOME BOARDING! 🐾 I work from home, so your pup will get lots of outdoor breaks (I need the fresh air just as much as them!) and can promise they will never be alone. I am super neat and can ensure that your pet is in a safe enviroment. Growing up with two pups (who lived to the ages of 11 and 18), I especially know how to give extra love to your senior! I’m WFH full time. Along with frequent outdoor breaks, I’ll continue routines you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I have a hazard-free home for our young pups and experience with senior pups (diapers, pads, extra TLC)! I’m ready to take any dog strollers out if necessary.
“Vanessa is a really wonderful pet sitter. She was very thorough making sure that she understood my dog’s schedule, sleeping habits, how he tolerated the heat, etc. My dog loves attention and people and she was great about giving him tons of affection. My Maltipoo was well cared for and happy. I received regular photos and update - I highly recommend her!”
“Luis (and his wife Laura) were very welcoming to our small dog. He sent photo updates twice a day which was very reassuring. It’s great to have such a reliable and caring boarder in the same town!”
“So happy we found Michele. She took Momo out on a walk multiple times a day and sent us plenty of pictures. For a picky dog like ours Michele really fit the bill. Would 100% recommend.”
“This is the 2nd time we left our furry baby with Carmela (for two weeks this time) It is like dropping Buddy off at a friend’s house. She is wonderful. She sent us photos and kept us updated on how he is doing. If he was not eating properly, she checked on what she could do to make him eat. Her dog also easily gets along with other dogs.”
“10/10 every time. Carol and her family take the absolute best care of Max we could ever ask for. Their home has become our dog's vacation home while we are away! Thank you so much for all you do and for making us feel comfortable and worry-free while he's with you.”
“Lisa is amazing! She did a great job keeping us updated with pics & videos. Our dog has never looked this happy when we’ve gone away. She kept her active with walks & playtime with her pup. Highly recommend!”
“My dog Kona had a great time with Amrit and his daughter last week. I received regular updates and photos which put me at ease while I was away. Amrit was very responsive from the start and responded quickly to coordinate a meet and greet. Although he was not available for the entire duration of my trip, he offered to watch my dog for as long as he could which I appreciated very much especially during the busy summer months. I definitely recommend Amrit (and his daughter) to watch your dog! I am hoping they are available the next time I am away. Thank you for taking such great care of Kona!! 😊”
“Seureon & Dongdwan were great hosts to our dog. They took great care of him for a week and sent us frequent updates, which always puts us, dog owners at ease. They were very timely and responsive and our dog seemed very happy and content. We will definitely use them again.”
“Gail did a great job with Raven. We usually are worried about whether Raven will adjust to a new sitter, but Gail quickly sent us pictures and a note letting us know how quickly she bonded with Raven and how calm she had become.”
“Loved having Jessica watch Boh!!! Went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable. Communicated super frequently with lots of updates and pictures!! Definitely using her again!!”
“Karina was an absolute gem! She gave me prompt and thorough updates about my puppy, and was so thoughtful and attentive throughout. She’s truly the perfect pet sitter! Thank you, Karina, we’ll definitely be back!”

Madison dog parents share their Rover experiences
Nadine & Tom were fantastic caretakers for our dog, Ellie. This was our first time using someone outside of family to watch her, so we were a bit nervous, but we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the experience. We were looking for someone warm and attentive who would give Ellie personalized care, and that’s exactly what we found with Nadine and Tom. Ellie can be anxious around other dogs, so it meant so much to us that she was able to stay with Nadine and Tom one-on-one. They truly made her feel comfortable and at home. We especially appreciated the daily photos and thoughtful updates, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Nadine & Tom and would absolutely book with them again.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Gabriel took such amazing care of our Moon, while we were away. From the very first message, he was friendly, communicative, and clearly experienced. We got regular updates, photos, and little notes that showed how much attention and affection our baby was getting. It gave us total peace of mind knowing Moon was in such good hands. When we came home, Moon was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We’ll absolutely be booking with Gabriel again — highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly reliable and caring sitter!
Kellie was amazing! She took incredible care of my Lexi. I was extremely nervous to book with someone I didn’t know but from the second I met Kellie, she put me at ease. She is kind, compassionate, and truly a good person. I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely book with her again.
Our second stay with Dawn!! Dawn is just beyond lovely and her home exudes calm positive energy -and Betty picked right up on it and acclimated immediately. (Our previous day with Dawn was with our other dog who passed ❤️). Dawn provided wonderful updates throughout Betty’s stay - lots of pics and videos… she’s an animal lover at heart and made Betty’s stay seamless. One of the biggest signs of a successful trip is that Betty did not miss one meal! Meal skipping is a frequent occurrence when she is separated from us. Thank you Dawn!!! :)
