“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”
“Leslie was fantastic and is Taco’s new best friend. She was responsive and provided frequent, fun updates. She was also flexible on pickup and drop off times and worked to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend her!”
“Tim was so good with Duckie! he kept us updated with pictures and letting us know what Duckie was up to! Tim took him on plenty of walks which our puppy loved. Duckie also had a great time with his new friend Gabby! I would definitely recommend Tim, he was great!”
“Pam has been the best dog sitter I have ever had my pup stay with. My little guy gets to spend his day romping and playing with Pam’s dogs and he always looks like he is having the best time in all of the update pictures and videos Pam sends. I am able to comfortably travel without having to worry about the safety or happiness of my fur baby when he stays with Pam! I will absolutely be bringing him back anytime I have to travel!”
“Katherine was excellent with our black lab! Even with a fairly short notice, she and her family welcomed her and took great care of her over the weekend. Would book again!”
“I highly recommend Linda. My dog came home happy after a three day stay. I appreciated the great pictures and updates that were sent to me. Also Linda is very prompt with replying to messages sent. I definitely will be using Linda again!”
“This was Molly's second time at Jenn's house and she loved it again. She got excited when we pulled into the driveway and it put us at ease knowing our girl was so well taken care of.”
“Suzanne was wonderful with our dogs! She sent me pictures and gave me updates daily. She even scheduled a vet visit and took our dog to the vet while we were out of town. She is so kind and great with our dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing with my 16-year-old Chihuahua, Ralph! This was his first time staying with a sitter instead of family or friends, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Ralph did great—even around her two much larger dogs, which was such a relief! Lauren created a calm, safe environment, and her communication was top-notch. I’m so grateful for the care she gave him and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic! She patiently took the time to understand my concerns, expectations, and my dog's needs. She is personable, communicative, and seeks to do the best to take care of your pet. She took EXCELLENT care of my dog! She was able to manage his separation anxiety and even got him to eat his dog food! (Typically, when I am away he will eat only his treats, rarely eating his food.) Sarah will take exceptional care of your pet and treat them as if they are a part of her family. I would hire her again, hands down!”
“Chip LOVED his stay with Felix. He came home truly tuckered out after a weekend of fun, and even learned to bring the ball back with fetch. I asked Felix if he wanted Chip’s travel crate and he said “where I go, Chip goes” which honestly gave me such peace of mind being my first time leaving him. It’s clear that Felix loves dogs, and I knew my Chip man was in great hands. We will definitely be seeing Felix again!!”
“Tatyana was great! She carefully understood the needs of our dog, and made her feel at home during our recent trip. Very frequent communication and photos of our dog enjoying herself.”
“Marina did a wonderful job caring for our dog. I feel like extra steps were taken to ensure she was comfortable, eating and sleeping well. Additionally, we received daily updates on the status, activity levels and pictures. We simply could not ask for a better caretaker while we travel.”
“Good people here! Trooper had a great time there. Sent pictures daily of my buddy on walks and snoozing. They are very flexible and communicate very well. Would highly recommend for your dog sitting. I will definitely be going back so trooper can see his new friends!”
“Thanks again for watching our dogs! They get so excited to go to your house and always get so much love and attention! Thank you both for being so amazing and loving on our dogs like they were your own.”

Madison Area dog parents share their Rover experiences
A wonderful experience! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding our dog, but at the meet and greet Jacob had each of his dogs meet ours one on one. The dogs all got along, and I think ours was excited to have other dogs to play with! She was with them for three nights, and was well cared for. She came home happy and healthy - it is such a relief knowing we have a future resource for times we can’t bring her with us, and it was so nice knowing she was in a home with a big fenced backyard, instead of in a kennel. Thank you for taking such great care of our Daisy girl!
We had such a wonderful experience leaving our fur baby with Emily. From the moment we met, I knew my dog would be well loved and she was! The daily updates and pictures were great and I could tell she was so happy! She went for daily walks, exploring the neighborhood and backyard, and had fun playing with Emily’s dogs. I would highly recommend Emily and will be using her in the future.
