We have never used Rover for doggie boarding before, thus we were a little nervous about the whole process. But Michael was awesome. He reassured us and my pup had a fun and relaxing stay at his place this week. Thank you for taking such good care of London, and spoil him with lots of love during his stay. We will definitely rebook with Michael in the future!

As always, Michael's care of Chusca was wonderful. She eagerly runs up to his door when we are bringing her. Also the photos show her enjoying being with the other dogs.

Nimbus had a great time as usual. He is treated just like a family dog.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
