“Katie is amazing and you can tell definitely an animal lover. She took such good care of my Chihuahua, even sent updates of how he was doing. I would definitely have Katie watch him in the future if I ever need a sitter again.”


“Danielle was great with our dogs! She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures throughout their stay. She was patient and flexible with my dog who is anxious in new environments and was aware of his needs. Would highly recommend to book with her!”


“We boarded our 75 lb dog for 2 nights and she was treated like royalty. We got regular updates and pics of her playing. Would highly recommend Justin & Stephanie!”


“Claudia was absolutely fantastic! She sent frequent updates with pictures and was super caring. I could tell that she has a true passion for animals when I first met her. Everything worked out so easily that I had no cares leaving my dog behind. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks Claudia!!!!”


“Paige was kind and caring. She was very caring and took great care of my baby. Willow would have stayed if she could. Couldn’t have been happier. Thx again”


“Lillyanne was a absolute sweet heart. Weve found our new permanent sitter. She even gave Bear ice cream it was his Bday while we were away.”


“Sharmistha and her husband took wonderful overnight care of our beloved lab, Chessie. She made sure to obtain all the information needed from me, following her schedule and asking the questions all pet parents want to answer. We were grateful for her flexibility- we ended up picking Chessie up and hour earlier than we thought on our way back from a wedding and it was not an issue. I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her and her dog. I would recommend her care and I will be booking again.”


“Carly and her husband took great care of Chloe. They were attentive, kind and caring with our senior dog. We came home to a happy dog. Carly kept us updated and sent pictures. We will definitely have them take care of Chloe in the future and recommend her to others.”


“I was in need of a sitter for my 12 week old puppy and almost 3 year old labs. Janice met and exceeded all my expectations! She is very knowledgeable and has a great demeanor with the dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”


“Wendy was quick to respond to my request last minuet. She was easy to get ahold of during Axels entire stay, and was such a pleasure to meet! Axel seemed to have a wonderful time, and got along great with Wendy's two dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”


“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”


“What a lifesaver!! Couldn’t be happier with not only the convenience of this service but more importantly the quality of people who cared for our dog! My dog was sad to leave because she fell in love! We will absolutely be a repeat customers”


“Our girl absolutely loves staying with Lisa. She actually starts perking up in the backseat as we turn onto her street. And we don’t worry for a second while we are away because we know she’s so well cared for.”


“Lindsey was great! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and videos of our dog Rocky. We felt very comfortable with Rocky in her care. Will definitely use her again!”


“This was my first time using Rover. Our stay with Adriene was wonderful. Sheldon has only stayed overnight with family or a close friend previously. Adrienne’s home was so inviting and her 2 dogs were so sweet. Sheldon is a picky eater and she sat on the floor with him to help get him to eat. He had a great stay. :)”


“I’ve used Becca several times, and would never hesitate to have her watch my 2 beagles, which I know can be overwhelming, especially with one who requires who rx eye drops routinely throughout the day. She’s incredible!”



“Charlie recently spent two weeks with Olivia while we were out of town. While Charlie was excited to see us when we returned, he was equally as excited to see Olivia when we dropped him off! Olivia has been taking excellent care of Charlie since we moved to the area three years ago. We feel fortunate to know her.”


“Sunaina was kind to take care of my dog. Lots of photos and videos were shared with us which was greatly appreciated. My dog had a great time at their place. Thank you!”



“This was Khloe's first time being boarded and what a great experience. Her first meeting with Candice went so well that when it came time for her to actually stay we were totally comfortable. Candice sent pics and kept in contact with us throughout Khloe's stay. I will definitely use her again.”


“The feelings I am experiencing right now are beyond words. I left my fur baby with Susmita for two weeks. I was so nervous and anxious about leaving him for so long. Susmita, her sons, and her husband made him feel at home. It was the best time of his life with them and Sugar. Susmita made sure we didn't have to worry about Coco and just enjoyed our vacation. I am out of words to describe my gratitude to her family. It's now my coco's second home.Thank you so much.. I am grateful to all of you and your kind hearts.”
