Amber took great care of Roxi! Communication was excellent and she took extra care to ensure she wasn’t intimidated by larger dogs during the stay.

I was very happy with Jenevieve taking care of my puppy. She has lots of energy and she seemed to handle that very well. She came home at ease. I will use her again for Zippy.

Kim was very loving of our Ruby! She sent us pictures and let us know how things were going while we were away. Ruby had a great vacation playing on Kim’s farm and being loved on by her family. We very much appreciated that we didn’t need to worry about Ruby while we were gone! Will use Kim again and again, every time.

Brandon was a great dog sitter for the week and half we were gone! He gave our Wheaten all of the walks and play he needed. Brandon kept in touch with updates and was easy to communicate with. He loved our dog like his own, and I’m sure our Wheaten would love to go back next time we need a sitter!

Madison was great with my two doodles!! She was consistent with sending me updates and photos over the weekend while I was out of town. My dogs and her lab got along great as well, so that’s always a plus! I have already booked their next stay with her later this month 🙌🏻

Jaden is simply the best! He will make your dogs feel loved and adapt to the individual needs of each pet. He gives great updates and provides plenty of photos. He will make sure you’re at ease when leaving your pets with him being that this was the first time we used Rover this was very important to us. We will definitely be booking again.

Hannah was amazing! She showed our sweet Butter so much love and we felt totally comfortable and confident that our anxious dog was being cared for so well the entire time we were away. Hannah sent tons of photos and updates which is always the best. We highly recommend her and would leave Butter with her again in a heartbeat.

Carmen was great. She's a very sweet and caring person. She has a beautiful place out in the country. And I needed a place for my pomeranian to stay at the last minute for a long weekend and she was willing to take him.

Our lab/boxer had a great time. She came home calm and sleepy from all the time playing. Sasha was so good to work with, expecially since we had to adjust our pick up time significantly. Would book again.
