“Lauren and Michael were so good the first time, we had to book them again! They sent daily updates and pictures! You can tell both of our dogs enjoyed their time. We would love to book again in the future!”
“María was great, not only I felt confident that she was taking good care of Guapo but also I knew that he was in a loving home while we were away; she sent several pictures, kept us up to date and was very flexible to update our reservation when our flight got delayed. We will for sure be reaching out to Maria for future dog sitting requests. 🐾”
“Jenny did a great job with Habeeb! He is really anxious but he seemed so calm with Jenny and her son Shay. She sent regular updates and pictures, I would gladly let her sit Habeeb again!”
“Susan was amazing! She took great care of Prince and sent us lots of updates with photos. He was a happy boy when we picked him up at the end of a long stay.”
“Robert was great with our family dog Izzy. She is truly a member of our family and we always feel bad leaving her behind when we go out of town and Robert did a wonderful job sending pictures and videos to let us know how she is doing. Would definitely recommend Robert and plan on using him again in the future.”
“Anna & David were incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and our pups came home very happy and well taken care of. We can't recommend them more - Cherry & Louie say thank you!”
“Rachel G. and her home were everything I’d hoped for! My cat Abadie (“a body”) calmly explored each room during the Meet and Greet, and by the next day when we arrived, Rachel had set up a comfortable lounge area for Abadie to sit or lie down and look out the window and breathe in fresh air as she watched the world going by! Abadie slept on her favorite blanket on the foot of Rachel’s bed all night long. After three days of bliss with Rachel, Abadie hid under the bed when I had the truck packed. She clearly was more comfortable with Rachel than being put in her carrier and driven home! No worries, Abadie! We’ll be back!”
“Tim is fantastic! Him and his pups made Oscar feel very comfortable during the longest boarding period he’s ever experienced. We also got constant updates and pictures/videos with details about how Oscar did on an almost daily basis. Oscar grew very attached to Tim in just a week!”
“Wow! My little Luna had the pleasure of staying with Betsy for a quick last minute overnight, and she had such a great time! Betsy sent me updates and made sure Luna felt right at home during her stay. Luna is a little shy and timid with people she doesn’t know, but warmed right up to Betsy. She was able to accommodate my last minute need for a dog sitter, and I truly appreciate that. Luna will be so excited to visit Betsy again! :)”
“Bentley had a great time with Amy! She made him very much at home, with plenty of treats, walks, and couches! She was also flexible when my flight home was delayed and I needed to pick Bentley up a bit late. Definitely recommended!”
“My pup had a great time with Erin! He is an old man who likes his space and takes a little while to warm up to people, but he warmed right up and Erin kept me posted his whole stay which definitely made me more comfortable!”
“Lydia took great care of our Newfoundland/poodle mix, Poppy, during our vacation! Her communication was great; she sent regular updates with adorable pictures of Poppy playing with her new friends. Her house and yard are very well set up to accommodate multiple dogs. This was our first time booking with her, and I look forward to working with her again. I would highly recommend her!”
“Renley had a great time staying with Jacquie for a week! We were on vacation and couldn't bring him, so we are so glad that he had a fun place to stay. Jacquie communicates often and sent pics of Renley (and Teddy!) everyday. We will absolutely ask her to watch Renley again.”
“Tracey did a great job with Odie, who seemed rested and happy after his stay. I appreciated the updates thru the stay as well as the flexibility with a last minute reservation.”
“Carsten was AMAZING with my pup. He was very professional, had a lot of enthusiasm around caring for my pup and all around good doggy vibes. He made a really cute short video and sent me photos throughout my pups stay. They went on long walks, went down to the river and stayed cool in this heat! I truly think Carsten imprinted on my pup b/c he came back with an ear to ear smile! I would HIGHLY recommend Carsten if you’re in the Minneapolis area. Unfortunately, I don’t live in the area but I will 1000% be reaching out to him again next time we’re in town! Thank you SOOO much for the best first rover experience! <3 Bane & Laila”
“This is the first time Saul stayed overnight with a private sitter, but he did great with Susan and her little dog Violet. We will book with her again.”
