“This is the second time we have used Anita to watch our dog. This past visit was for 9 days and our 15 year old dog was completely happy and very much at home with Anita. I would highly recommend.”
“Outstanding caretaker, loves the dogs in her care and takes excellent care of mine for the week. I am so happy to have found her and completely confident she will provide the best care. Stays in touch, checks in to see how things were going while I was recovering from surgery. Thank you Kristal!”
“Ruby was very well taken care of! Michael was professional, prompt, and at the same time warm, friendly and welcoming. I could tell from the pictures he sent that she was well loved and having fun. This was my first time using Rover and I am very happy it!”

“We greatly appreciated Mary & Norman. This is our first time using Rover for our friendly and energetic husky. We liked how our husky was the only dog during his stay. We did a meet and greet with Mary and Norman and knew right away that they were the perfect place for our dog. They took our husky on 4-6 walks each day and he had so much fun. We were communicated daily with updates. We had zero worries or issues with the stay and with arranging times that mutually worked for us for drop off and pick up. We can’t wait for the next visit!”
“Amy did a phenomenal job boarding Jack, my large husky. She took him to the dog park daily, walked him frequently, and provided a lot of love and attention to Jack. She also provided some great insight in dog training that I intend to act on. I am grateful to Amy for being a dependable, honest, and enthusiastic dog lover.”
