Tiffani [and her family] were such a wonderful fit for my precious Madison. Madison has never stayed any place overnight (aside from home), and my sister and I were extremely nervous to leave her anywhere- when family members were not an option. We went away for 8 nights and needed to ensure Madison was in great hands and loving hearts. Tiffani and her family went above and beyond to not only care for Madison, but make her feel like family. Wow! We were amazed! Tiffani sent lots of wonderful pictures/videos throughout the week and it helped us get through the week being away from Madison. Madison is sensitive and has separation anxiety, but she was loved so much during her week with Tiffani that we could literally see her comfort level blossom each day as more and more pictures were sent. My sister and I wondered if Madison would even want to come home, after such a fun week with cuddles upon cuddles upon cuddles. ???? We we’re so thankful, grateful and satisfied with our decision. Also, we were thrilled that Madison got daily walks each day and had playtime with the kids and (her new Rover lab sister) Mia. ? (Tiff has amazing kids by the way, who are guaranteed to smother your dog in love & giggles). When we went to pick up Madison, she didn’t recognize us and barked because she became so attached to Tiffani and family (haha!- great sign), and she was exhausted from having an amazing week. Now my sister and I only feel bad that Madison had to leave a place she fell so in love with, enjoyed, and where people loved her. That’s the impression Tiffani left on us and Madison. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Tiffani was very tuned in to our Madison. Oh! And, even with us being out of country the communication was wonderful and consistent- every single day. We will absolutely book with her again if we need and she’s available. We are so grateful to have found her. ????

Araceli and Uciel did a fantastic job of watching my dog for a week. They took such wonderful care of him and sent pics\videos with updates every day. It was clear he had a grand time playing with their two dogs and being spoiled rotten. I will definitely be using them again when I go out of town.

If you need a pet sitter - Pauline is your girl!! I can’t thank her enough for hosting my two dogs in her home for the night. I received photos & an update within 30 minutes of dropping them off - & without having to check in myself - which I absolutely loved & appreciated. I then received updates all throughout the day which is exactly what I needed! She was VERY attentive to the dogs, asked about/followed their normal routine & updated me if she sensed anything was wrong or if the dogs seemed uncomfortable (one of them was exhibiting signs of an ear infection). I know my dogs were well taken care of and enjoyed their stay. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we are so very grateful to Pauline!!!

Anita was responsive, courteous and very pleasant. It was my first time boarding our 6 month old puppy (Moose) so naturally I was a bit nervous beforehand. Anita did a lot to reassure me during Moose's stay and I was able to communicate with her regularly. Moose came back happy and tired after spending time with Anita and her family. I would definitely recommend Anita to anyone looking for a welcoming environment for their dog!

Sean and Jill were great! They helped me very last minute and although I have a semi aggressive dog, they were very welcoming and not discouraged at all. Their house is perfect for dogs as they have a small doggy door. My dog followed Sean right into his house upon seeing him outside so he must have felt a good vibe haha. They also responded very quickly to messages and offered to feed him the same food they feed their dogs. Would 100% recommend them!!!

Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!

Wendy is absolutely wonderful. I have a special needs dog who is extremely anxious and also incontinent, and she has been incredibly patient, kind, and accommodating every step of the way. This was my first time using Rover for boarding, and Wendy made the experience so much easier—always quick to respond and understanding of all my concerns. She truly takes the time to get to know my dog’s needs and never makes me feel like any request is too much. I fully trust her with my dog and highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and reliable care.

Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again!

My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)
