Justin was awesome! He was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, sent pictures and updates throughout our dog’s stay, and made her feel right at home! Would highly recommend.

She was wonderful and I already rebooked with her. I got updates and I know that my dogs were happy. Her kids also helped and loved them. It was like they were just visiting in another family. They weren’t just in crates for days. They were with the family.

I have used Erin and Chris to watch my chocolate lab many many times! I feel so comfortable leaving town because I know they treat my dog like he is their own! If you are searching Rover to find a potential sitter, just stop and book on their page. You won’t regret it!❤️

Jessica is amazing! My dogs were very well taken care of and she even won over my very anxious puppy. She kept me updated and sent pictures and videos all along the way and it really meant a lot to me that they felt so comfortable and like part of her family right away. It’s the first time I’ve left them! Her doggo played so well with ours. She’s great! I won’t use anyone else!

Ally was really great with my dog Miller. She was very open with her communication and sent a lot of updates and pictures over the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area. And will definitely let her watch my dog again in the future

Our first time using Rover was with Casandra. We boarded our two pups for over a week with her. She was very flexible with pickup and drop off times, and she did an amazing job with sending updates and photos. I felt at ease knowing that our dogs were with someone who treated them like family. They looked so happy in every picture. I would highly recommend using Casandra for your pet watching needs!

Jasmine was excellent with watching two of my dogs, Toby and Leia! She already had a full house of her own but she made sure my pups were comfortable and happy while my partner and I were away. Highly recommend!

Thanks for the great care of BoBo! The pictures and videos of BoBo with your dog were awesome to see on my vacation. I felt like BoBo was in great hands the whole time I was away.

They were so friendly and were so good to my dog. They sent pictures throughout the day and he came back tired from playing with their other dogs the whole time. I would without a doubt go back to them to have my dog for the night.

First time I have ever left my dogs for an entire weekend and I was nervous. Luckily, I struck gold the first time. I highly recommend this sitter. My dogs were well taken care of and I didn't have to worry all weekend. They loved playing in the yard and the walks they get to go on. So blessed to have found such an awesome dog sitter.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.
