“Ellen and John stepped up and helped me out with my boy Havi when I needed boarding at the last minute. They were quick to respond and very accommodating even at the last minute! They stayed in communication with me throughout and took such great care of Havi as he sometimes needs extra attention. I am beyond grateful for Ellen and John and the service and care they provided! Highly recommend and will be using them again in the future!”

Kimberly sends me pictures and compliments about my Bella....it makes my heart smile. THANK YOU to Kimberly for making me feel like my Bella's at her home away from home.”
“This was the best Rover experience for me! Susan made sure my dog is safe and feels comfortable. My dog easily gets nervous with strangers, but she got used to the new environment faster than normal. I felt like Susan is really good with handling dogs too because she has great amount of experience with dogs. I really appreciate her updates, photos, and all the accommodations she has made for us. Thank you!!😊”

“It's hard to put into words how amazing Kathy and Tim are. I think my wife said it best when she said they weren't watching our dog. They were CARING for our dog. Please do yourself a favor and stop scrolling now and book a reservation with this amazing couple. I really do believe this was the whole reason why Rover was created. To be able to leave your loved one in the care of someone who will love them just as much. We were able to enjoy our time away and receive continuous communication about our dogs stay with Kathy and Tim.”
