“This was our first time using Rover and they immediately made us feel at ease. I knew our two dogs, who had recently went through a big transition moving in with us after their previous family moved out of state, would be well cared for. We received daily pictures and the dogs seemed happy when we picked them up. Will definitely book again.”


“Thank you, Christopher takes good care of my fur babies. We took them there for this first time couple of months ago and we went back last weekend. We will definitely keep going back.”


“Gabriel is AMAZING. My Jake had a great time and I was afraid he'd love Gabriel more than me lol. Provided multiple daily updates, answered all my texts, and has an amazing vibe to his place. I will always pick Gabriel when he has availability. Thank you so much!”


“This is the first time leaving our dog with a sitter other than someone that we know. She always answered any of my questions immediately both before and during the stay. Benji doesn't always get along with other dogs so I was a little apprehensive. Mary put our minds at ease at the meet and greet. She introduced other dogs gradually and all went well. Mary sent us pictures and updates almost daily. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Benji with her again. Thanks, Mary for being such a loving sitter. Marianne & Phil”


“Wow! One of the best Rover experiences! Roscoe received a report card at end of stay and we received multiple pics and updates daily! Julie even washed his blanket before pick up! Roscoe can’t wait to come back for cuddles and playtime! Thanks Julie and fam!”



“Destinee was great! She communicated well and kept us updated with pictures. Kenai had a great time over there and got along with their dogs as well! Would 100% book again and recommend other to also.”


“Tosha and her family were a great fit for our picky, middle-aged dog. She had a good time and we got several pictures. Tosha was also very flexible about our drop-off and pick-up times.”


“Chica seamed very comfortable. There is a room just for dogs with toys and she claimed a plush dog bed that Yelena provided. Chica loves to go outside and her yard is fenced in. Yelena is a sweet and responsible lady who you can trust to take care of your Fur Baby.”


“We are grateful to Naomi for her flexibility. We have four dogs, so it is not easy to accommodate four different personalities, and she handled that very well. She sent pictures of our dogs during the boarding experience. It was easy to communicate with her and present our expectations. We will definitely consider her again for our next boarding.”



“We were very nervous about leaving our 4 month old puppy for the first time and we were new to Rover. Brook made both Auggie and us feel very comfortable. Auggie instantly loved Brook and was happy to stay. Auggie had a terrific time with both Lucy and Baxter. Can't say enough good things about leaving him with Brook. We received pictures and videos which helped us feel he was safe and having a good time. I would definitely book with Brook again a thousand times better than any kennel!”


“Kenai loves staying at Chelsea's house and is super excited whenever we arrive. Chelsea takes great care of her and it's so nice to have the peace of mind knowing Kenai is such good hands when we are away. Chelsea is great at communicating during the stay and is very easy and flexible to work with. Thank you Chelsea!”


“Rachel always goes above and beyond! She’s reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and videos. My fur babies were happy and well-cared-for. As always…Highly recommend!”


“Wonderful as always! Brooke & Family are incredible at dog boarding. My little Ginger always has the best time while staying with them. I already have my next booking with them scheduled!”



“Sheila was wonderful! I needed someone very last minute and she responded right away and that’s how communication was the entire time we were gone! She sent pictures/videos and updates to let me know Binx was doing okay! My pup was loved on and treated like family during her stay!”


“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”


“I typically leave Bootz with my parents so I was extremely nervous to try someone new. I absolutely loved Jacklyn! I didn't have to check in (which I thought I would have to do) because Jacklyn sent morning and evening updates with pictures. She provided very vivid descriptions including his habits for the day, what he was eating and what he was drinking. She even slept on the couch with Bootz in the living room because he doesn't sleep well by himself. Jacklyn was perfect. I will be utilizing Jacklyn for all of my future boarding needs!”


“Nicole and family were great, provided pictures to show how comfortable Gigi was to be there!! Was not sure we would get her back. Will schedule her with Nicole in the future if needed.”


“They were amazing!!! I was gone for 9 days and they made me feel at ease. I received pictures everyday! My puppy loved them!! Amazing family!! Thank you!!”
