This was the first (and definitely not the last) time my dog, Sadie, boarded at Annette’s house. All I can say is that Annette was amazing in every way! The love she has for the dogs she’s caring for is obvious and she took great care of Sadie. Thank you again Annette!

We had to leave our two sweet boys, Bogey and Moose, over Christmas, and Gage & Annie made the whole thing feel like a cozy family vacation for them instead of just boarding. From the meet & greet to pickup, they were so thoughtful and easy to communicate with — quick responses, super flexible on timing, and always double-checking details like arrival times.They sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos: the boys playing fetch, getting belly rubs and snuggles at night, hanging out in their own spare room for quiet time, and even some special Christmas surprises like a stocking and new toys! They only take two dogs at a time so everyone gets tons of personal attention, and it really showed — my boys were happy, calm, and clearly spoiled with love and play.The updates kept me smiling the whole trip and made leaving them so much easier. When I picked them up, they were relaxed, excited to see me, and looked like they’d had the best time. If you want your pups to feel like part of the family while you’re away, Gage & Annie are the real deal. We’re already looking forward to booking them again! Highly recommend — thank you for making our Christmas trip worry-free and giving our boys such a special stay!

Great care taker! Had absolutely no problems and she loved taking care of Oso. We usually have issues because no one want to take the time to understand our dog. But she was very patient and understanding and Oso loved her. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away which our girls enjoyed because they missed him. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog and we are definitely recommending her to all of our friends and family.

Argo LOVED his stay. Sometimes our dog can be a handful (puppy) but Bill seemed to be patient and playful with Argo. He came back to us happy and tired. We will definitely be booking with Bill and Krista again!

I am so pleased with the attentiveness James and Laquita gave to our very senior poodle, Annie. They are very much animal lovers! Their home is lovely an very clean. They sent pictures of Annie everyday (sometimes several pictures). They are highly motivated to follow your directions to the letter and they ask a lot of questions in order to better respond to your pet. I was exceptionally happy with the love and care Laquita and James provided for our sweet Annie and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to recommend them to others!!!

Conocí a Sthefany un dia antes de recoger mi pequeño, ella estuvo cuidando mi chiquito por 20 días, mi esposa fue quien contacto a Sthefany, cuando vi a Klaus lo vi tan feliz, cuidado, jugando con los demás y con Sthefany de una manera que no lo había visto. Excelentes trabajo, nos encantó y a Klaus también. Recibíamos un mensaje constantemente con actualizaciones de como estaba nuestro bebe. 1000% recomendada. Amamos su servicio 😍😍

I am so happy with my 1st Rover experience with Denny. She took such great care of my fur baby and even offered a “meet and greet” before I agreed to leave my Cali in her care. There was great communication and pictures through out Calis stay that brightened my day and reassured me that she was in good hands. I’m so happy I’ve found Calis new sitter on my first try ?

Beautiful home & perfect place for my dog! Her doggies kept mine company, and so did her kids. There is so much yard space (5 acres) to run around, and Diannette and her family cared for Buttercup like their own. He seemed very content in photos she sent. Highly recommend.

I was so nervous leaving Simon with someone new. He’s never been to a dog sitter and I cannot be happier with how he did. Dogs can sense good and safe environments and he loved his visit. He didn’t even want to leave. I got pictures and updates which is more than I can ask for. Side note: I chose the wrong service and overpaid and Krista let me know she owed me money. I appreciated the honesty and of course don’t want the money but think it’s worth noting that she was so honest. It’s not something you come across very often.
