Timothy and his family was absolutely an amazing rover experience. They sent daily updates and made sure he got all the love while I was away. Their dog coco was also so sweet and an amazing companion for Eddy; he loved her! Would recommend and definitely will be booking again!

Tim is fantastic. He messages regularly and sends updates throughout the day and a ton of photos. I appreciate that he over communicates like “Alfalfa pooped twice today”. And he’s diligent about keeping Alfalfa clean which as a doodle mom is very important since he can get easily matted or even have random things stuck in his paws. His dog Coco is super sweet and gentle. I think Alfalfa had more energy than her but she’s an older dog and was very patient. I would highly recommend anyone to use Tim. And we plan on using him more often!

Bella enjoyed her second stay with Tim, his wife, and their pup, Coco. We received timely updates each day and never questioned if Bella was in good hands while we were away!

Pat and Tim took great care of our big, anxious doggie, Shasta!, for an overnight visit! We appreciated how responsive and communicative they were, and they took a lot of pics of our pup to assure us that she was having fun and relaxing. Shasta was happy to come home the next day, but she will miss playing with Coco and hanging with her new buddies, Pat and Tim! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Pat and Tim took really great care of our dog Bailey! She got sick while we were away but they took great care of her and sent us detailed updates so we didn't worry. She got plenty of walks and clearly misses them and Coco!
