1. Michele R.
“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
2. Ryan E.
“Ryan was always quick to respond during the booking and sitting process. Our dog clings to whomever is watching him, and can slobber when in unfamiliar surroundings - both behaviors observed and shared by Ryan in his updates and photos. I would definitely recommend Ryan.”
3. Cale C.
“Cale and his Dad were phenomenal! This was the first time I have ever had to board my dog before and I was extremely nervous to do so. They were so reassuring and walked me through the entire process. I loved that I could bring Junipers toys, bed and blanket with her and they were able to give Juniper her daily meds. She was so happy, and calm when I picked her up and I loved the daily pupdates. I now feel very comfortable being able to leave her on longer vacations as I know she will be well looked after!”
4. Margaret V.
“We can't say enough about Margaret and the care she took of our beloved dog, Maisy. She sent many updates wih great pictures and we felt so comfortable that we had left our dog , for only the second time, in he care. Her dog and cat were also so welcoming to our dog which made her first experience with other pets a great one. We highly recommend Margaret to take wonderful care of your dog too.”
5. David T.
“This was my first experience utilizing Rover. We initially had a meet and greet and I knew my puppy was in good hands. I appreciated the videos and pictures and seeing my puppy interact with his family and other pets. I would certainly use David again and really feel fortunate that I picked the right sitter for our dog.”

“Working with Joylyn for the past several months has been absolutely wonderful. My energetic Jack Russell Terrier, Rusty, looks forward to every walk and comes back happy and proud. I’ve noticed a big improvement in his behavior thanks to the consistent routine and attention he gets during his visits. I highly recommend Joylyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated dog walker.”
10. Dian R.
“Diane is so easy & reliable (& available) to work with. Our doggy just loves going to her house & playing with her dogs! Diane is very sweet. Plus, I love that she lets us know how Opie’s doing while we’re gone & sends us pictures!”

“Simply amazing, she treated my dog like her very own, great backyard with fence for dogs to run and play. She took my dog for many walks, we received frequent picture updates. Overall, highly recommend Karin and her husband”
12. Steffani D.
“My pets & I had an EXCELLENT experience with Steffani! I was nervous to leave my fur friends, particularly my blind girl, with anyone. But at the meet & greet it became clear that Steffani connected with both dogs immediately. She was not the least bit overwhelmed with Maizey’s situation. I received updates throughout the weekend which confirmed they were doing great. You owe it to yourself & your pets to reach out to Steffani!”
13. Roselie & Kevin L.
“Kevin and Roselle are really great sitters. They watched my girls for the first time over a weekend. While I was dropping them off, my dogs broke out (nobodies fault) and decided to visit the block. Kevin helped me wrangle them back to the house. They came home happy after their stay, I will definitely use them again.”
14. Sherri H.
“My dog was extremely well taken care of. He generally does not eat much when he's being boarded due to anxiety but he ate almost all his meals! I received many pictures and updates during his stay that were much appreciated!”
15. Allison W.
“Allison was great for our Dachshund. She took her on a weeks notice and Molly stayed with her for a few days while we were traveling out of state. She kept in touch with us by text and sent us photos daily. Definitely will use Allison again and highly recommend her. Thank you again Allison!”
16. Derek B.
“We had never boarded our 5 year old dog before and were very unsure of how it would go. Derek sent lots of photos that assured us all was well, and our boy was happy and playful during his stay. Thank you!!”
