“She was beyond amazing with my fur baby. He has a bad abused past, and this was my first time leaving him since we rescued him 4 months ago. She kept me up to date multiple times a day like I asked. He was comfortable with her. Definitely will be using Rachel again.”
“Carol was super nice and super flexible. She checked in and sent pictures of Benny his whole stay. Carol provided such a peace of mind for me and my family and Benny was pretty happy ?. I will definitely book with Carol again.”
“Leslie is absolutely the best! She was so amazing with our high energy Boxer pup, Benny. Her dogs were so friendly to him too. We were beyond anxious about leaving him but she kept us in the loop with pics while we were gone. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Sean was great! He was very responsive and sent some photos during Obi's stay with him. Sean was also quite flexible with our short notice for the booking and as we were running a bit late to pick up our dog. He has a wonderful setup at his home and I can definitely tell my dog had plenty of time spent playing because of how tired he was when we picked him up!”
“Extremely happy. Buddy liked Samantha right away. Drop off and pick up were super easy. She sent me pics of my little guy so I could see that he was adjusting well. Definitely will book with her again.”
“Pam is a delight. I highly recommend. She is professional, kind, thoughtful, detailed with care needs, ensured Toby's safety, preferences had been provided and comfort. Pam was very prompt with responding. Provided timely updates with pictures. From our initial meet, drop off and pick up, I experienced such a loving environment and felt Toby was very much welcomed, cared for and had fun running with Pam's little fur babies. Pam's dogs and two cats are very social and adorable. Pam let him sleep in her bed at night knowing he does same at home. Toby returned home very relaxed and showed no signs of being stressed. She truly welcomed and cared for Toby as if her own. I already booked his next stay. Thank you Pam!”

“We had a great first Rover experience with Molly and her dog Izzi. It was our first time leaving our dog for the weekend and Molly was perfect with our nervous dog, and with communication and sending pics. I know our dog felt much more at ease with the help of having Izzi around. We’ll definitely rebook with Molly & Izzi - highly recommend!”
“Jess (and her pup) are the best and easiest to work with! My dog loves staying with them. Plus Jess is organized and proactive and friendly. Perfect combo!”
“Ruth was fabulous. My little 7lb Maggie was a new rescue that I only had for 2 months. She was so scared of EVERYTHING. Ruth has a nice small and quiet home. She was able to give my little doggie the individual and personal attention she really needed. I felt completely confident that Maggie would be cared for very well. We even received pictures and updates regularly while we were away. I'll definitely be calling Ruth, if we go out of town again.”
“Felix has some of that 'dog whisper' magic. He was generous with sharing his home and love while watching our dog. We can tell our dog felt secure and relaxed while under his care and had some fun of his own while we were away.”
“Joshua took great care of our 1 year old Golden Doodle Shiloh. Joshua sent regular pictures and videos of our dog smiling and relaxing and hanging out with other friendly dogs. Joshua was okay with 7am drop off and pick up times. We plan on booking with Joshua again.”
“Finley was well taken care of. I had no worries about him when I was away. Terry sent pics which was a plus. Great experience. Will book again.”
“Susan and her pets were like a vacation for our dog, Maizee, while we were on ours. Maizee was very obviously treated as if she were one of Susan’s pets and came home nice and tired. Will absolutely book with Susan again.”
