“My rescue Pom has major trust issues. Viktoryia did a great job of caring for her and gaining her trust. I would definitely recommend V. to anyone looking for a good spot for their furry friends. It’s so good to know I have a great spot for next time I need to find a Rover! Thank you Victoryia!”
2. Evelyn R.
“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”
3. Stephany B.
“Stephany did a fantastic job taking care of our cat, Tom. Daily updates, with photos, were sent. Tom acclimated very well. I would highly recommend you board your cat or dog with Spephany! Thanks again!”
4. Ashley N.
“Jellybean had a great stay with Ashley! I was nervous because it was my first time leaving her with a sitter and Ashley took the time to listen and make sure we both felt comfortable. She sent pictures and updates and I know she was in great hands. I will definitely book again with Ashley!”
5. Vanessa L.
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of our dog. She gave him a lot of love and attention. This is the first time we left our dog in the care of someone outside of family and was very apprehensive in the beginning. However after meeting Vanessa we felt a lot better knowing she will take good care of him. When my husband picked up our dog after a week of being away, our dog was very happy. This meant he had a great time while we were away. When we left our dog overnight at a pet hotel when he was 1 1/2 hrs old, he was unhappy when we picked him up and acted like we punished him. Since then we only left him with family until Vanessa came along. Now we are confident our dog will feel safe with her.”
6. Sarah & Aaron B.
“Hans had a great time with their family. We appreciated the pictures and info on how he was doing. Always nice to see Hans getting snuggles in while we are away. Their other dog was a sweetie and got along with Hans perfectly. We will definitely book again when we have to head out of town next time.”
7. Marycarmen B.
“Marycarmen kept me updated all the time, she is a very sweet and caring person. My furry baby was well taken care of, I will call her again.”
8. Anissa W.
“When I think of exceptional pet-care, Anissa will always be the person I go to. I can’t think of anyone else who is nearly as loving and compassionate towards animals. She is very professional and treats animals with the utmost respect. I highly recommend Anissa to anyone who is looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver”
9. Faith R.
“We were looking for someone to leave out super high separation anxiety dog with because we've not been able to go anywhere since our other dog passed. We did a trial run over night with two people and Faith was amazing with her. So we did a M-F and she seemed like it went amazing! Faith is probably the only person we trust going forward. Would recommend 10/10!”
10. Thelma C.
“This is the first time we left our little Sophie. We rescued Sophie 1 year ago and she had a really tough life prior to coming to us so we are very careful that she only have the most positive experiences and no longer lives in fear. After meeting Thelma I knew this was the place for our little one.The day we left, Sophie wasn't well, which made us even more anxious. Thelma has such a calming manner that we were ok in leaving her. At the airport we received an update picture of Sophie. This calmed us so that our trip was then off to a good start. We received updates every single day on how she was faring. I bragged and showed everyone I could. They couldn't believe how attentive Thelma was. The home environment is like a 5 star hotel so clean and very homey atmosphere. My little one thrived under the attention of Thelma and Gary. When we came to pick up Sophie I saw her out for her walk and she looked so content. No fear no stress just a very happy little one. We definitely feel we have won the lottery by finding Thelma and Gary and definitely will use them in the future.”
11. Brooke G.
“Brooke welcomed Jack like he was part of the family. She sent us daily pictures and videos. He was very happy there. I highly recommend Brooke!”
12. Isabelle G.
“Isabelle watched our 15 year old dog Teddy. We found her to be caring and understanding of his needs. She didn’t seem to mind catering to them either. On top of that she made sure to share progress reports and pictures with us. We would use her again.”
13. Adina B.
“This was our 1st time using Rover and had the best experience! Adina invited us over for a meet & greet before dropping off Lucy. She was so sweet & very professional. It made us feel more comfortable leaving our fur baby with her. Adina sent us daily photos, which we loved seeing how happy Lucy was. Can’t wait for our next trip to use her again:)”
