“This is the first time that I’ve boarded my dog with positive results. In the past my dog would be sick from anxiety, separation, get kennel cough, etc. she did fantastic with Tina who kept us updated and sent pictures every day. I’ll definitely board with Tina in the future”
“First time Rover user and had the best experience we could have possibly had!! Jason and his family far exceeded our expectations in caring for little Bella! We will absolutely use them again for any future trips where she isn’t able to tag along!!”
“My dog had a great time with Lindsey and her family. Lindsey was great about sharing photos and shared updates regularly. I would recommend Lindsey for any of your dog-sitting needs!”
“I’m always hesitant about leaving my old boy with anybody. He’s a quirky old man set in his ways. All my worries were put to rest because Jill took all my concerns seriously and addressed all of them. They even took him to a block party which I’m sure he loved because he’s a nosy old boy too.I will be very comfortable leaving my mutt with her again.”
“Joe has quickly become our go to sitter! Hank was so excited to see him and Duke! As nervous dog parents we feel like we’re actually able to relax when we’re away as we know he’s in very good hands. Thanks again for the great care you provide!”
“Sarah and Jared are amazing dog sitters. I knew right away that our dog was in good hands the moment we met them in their yard. They were very caring about all of our dog’s needs-play, food, and sleep. The communication that Sarah and Jared provided was also top- notch. I received pictures and several messages each day, which continued to give me such a strong sense of comfort. Thank you for everything, Sarah and Jared! I hope you will have our dog again if we go on a trip. ❤️”

“We needed a pet sitter in a bind, and was grateful that Dana could take our dog, Duke for the weekend on such short notice. We were happy with the care that was provided and the communication. Duke is a shy guy and had never been boarded or stayed with a sitter so I was a little worried about how he would do. He did great and Dana kept me updated the entire weekend.”
“This was the longest we have ever left our dog, and this was the first time we used Zack and Mara. Scout was very well cared for! We received multiple pictures every day we were away, and the captions were always fun to read. It was reassuring seeing her so comfortable with them. They also took her on walks. We will not hesitate to use them again and we highly recommend them to anyone needing great care for their furry family member. Many thanks to you both!”

“I'm so glad we found Sally! She took great care of our pit bull Henry. She made accommodations for him, sent us daily updates, sent pictures every day, and even some videos. I could tell Henry was enjoying himself, I was afraid he wouldn't want to come home! She truly cares for him!”
