Safety, trust & environment

We have a nice big fenced in back yard with plenty of room to get the zoomies out! Frequent, supervised potty breaks helps us cut down on accidents in the house. Our 2 dogs get along very well with other dogs and cats. Our kitten hasn't decided how she feels about dogs other than her brothers, so if she doesn't like a visiting animal we have plenty of room to keep them separate if needed.

We had a wonderful experience with Ivy. Both of our dogs looked very happy and relaxed when we picked them up, which gave us great peace of mind. Ivy was warm, patient, and flexible, and it was clear that our dogs were well cared for and loved. She also sent us several photos during their stay, which was very reassuring. We truly appreciate her kindness and would book with her again!

This was my first time using rover and first time leaving Leo with strangers so I was nervous but Ivy made me feel like Leo was in good hands! She sent pictures and updates and left me assured he was doing just fine! I’ll definitely book with them again in the future!
