“Sara was great with our senior pup and really went the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable by letting her stay close all the time. She also was really knowledgeable about caring for dogs and gave us advice on how to make the experience better for our anxious pup. Her own dog Soba was so gentle with our dog and would even cuddle with our own dog. Overall, it was a relief to find someone who I could trust to care for our pup as if it was her own. Highly recommend!”

15. Suzanne E.
“This was our 1st time using rover. We were nervous but felt comfortable after meeting Suzanne. We initially contacted Suzanne through the app and she was very responsive. We initially chose her due to all the positive reviews. We did a 30 min meet and greet. Our little guy Georgie was able to roam around and check out the pad. We left Georgie for 3 days and received daily updates from Suzanne. We couldn’t of been happier knowing our guy was well taken care of. Will be using Suzanne again for our trip coming up. Super excited we found Suzanne to board our dog while we are away.”


16. Lilly R.

“Lily was super flexible and accommodating with our uncertain dates for care, communicative throughout the process and stay, and our little bichon came back happy, well fed and well exercised!”


17. Chawntea P.


“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”


18. Astrid & Candido D.

“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”


19. Inkoo K.
“I've known Inkoo for 10+ years in a professional and personal capacity. She has always prioritized the physical and emotional well-being of her pets. She is a dedicated and loving caregiver who dotes on her animals and ensures that they receive everything they need. She provides a stable and stimulating environment and delights in her dogs and their quirks. Inkoo is reliable, responsible, and caring, and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust her with caring for my pets.”


20. Mary C.


“Mary is wonderful! We recently adopted our dog from a shelter and he has some separation anxiety, so we weren't sure how his first overnight stay would go, but Mary's patient and thoughtful approach helped him feel comfortable quickly. We appreciated that she set up a meet & greet with her dog in advance, and then was in touch throughout his stay. We'll be sure to book Mary in the future.”
