“Thank you so much for keeping our baby Xena this past weekend. She had a great time being outside which we do not get to do that often. Constant pictures were a great plus.”
“Braxton really enjoyed his stayed. Pictures and updates were sent daily and I really appreciate the Love and care that was given to Braxton like he was their very own. I would definitely recommend.”
“Stevie is the best sitter for our small dog. Not only is he spoiled; he is cared for. This past trip Willie scraped his eye and Stevie immediately contacted me when he started squinting, even taking him alllll the way to our vet. The most prompt responses and as per usual… tons of puppy updates. I would highly recommend Stevie to anyone, especially those with small dogs. Thank you for taking care of our baby again!”
“Stark had the best time with Mayrannie. This was our first time trying Rover and we are very happy with the entire experience. We would definitely consider Rover and Mayrannie for next time.”
“Lia, Jonathan and their entire family are amazing! This was the first time I have used Rover, so I was very nervous. Jonathan and Lia sent updates, photos and videos throughout the day. They put my mind at ease and I was able to have a wonderful vacation. I think my sweet girl misses them, but we already booked her next two stays with them!”
“Wonderful service! Briana's loving house was a home away from home for our husky, Sonic, over the long weekend. There was lots of tiled, air conditioned space indoors for Sonic to lay out. Out back, the covered and enclosed patio made for a safe dog area. Briana's two dogs are very passive and friendly which made Sonic's stay very comfortable and fun. We were well informed of Sonic's enjoyment daily. It's great to know that the next time we need a great place for Sonic to stay while in the Las Vegas area, Briana is Sonic's and Our first choice for the best place to stay.”
“Excellent!! And Fully Satisfied with Ling. She took care of my Boy very well… Leaving Simba with Ling was my best decision… I will highly recommend her to Every pet parents..”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job watching our little Milo and keeping me updated with how he was adjusting to his stay with her and family. Thank you for a wonderful care while I went out of town.”
“Coryn was great! She went out of her way to meet with Milagro, and even do a group walk beforehand, to get her comfortable with the transition. She was very accommodating on drop off/pick up as well. Milagro enjoyed her stay very much (especially the trip to the park). Thanks Coryn.”
“Shivambika took care of my dog like her own. She sent me timely updates and kept me informed about my dog’s wellbeing. My dog was a little sad and wasn’t eating very well but Shivambika tried different things to make sure she eats well and she succeeded too. Her house is very clean and beautiful. I would definitely leave my dog there again.”
“Kristi was excellent with my pup Remi. She sent me regular updates, videos and pics. I could tell my dog was well loved and taken care of. I would absolutely work with Kristi again. Thank you!”
“This was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Hongjun was very responsive and accommodating. Her and her family were so sweet and caring to my dog. She sent pictures and short videos and I left with an amazing photo when I picked her up. I will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her!”
“This was our 1st Rover experience & it was very positive. We've always relied on friends & family since we got him in 2021, but this time no one was available. We won't board him cause he is a rescue from the shelter. I did 5 or 6 different meet & greets & this was the best fit. I was super nervous to leave him with complete strangers, but they were so sweet & chill during the initial meeting, it just all fell into place. 3 of the highlights for me was their fenced in yard, they worked from home & their dog was very good with ours. Our dog is big, usually small dogs are intimidated by him. Not their doggy! He was so happy to have a buddy for the week. They sent pictures daily & allowed him to sleep wherever. I would absolutely book with them again.”
“It was a pleasure working with Elaine. She has a great setup, communication was excellent and I felt Lucy was very well taken care of during her stay. Will be my first call from now on. Thanks for taking such good care of Lucy.”
“Sogol was a kind and loving caregiver to my dog. She sent numerous pictures and updates while we were away and even went the extra mile of purchasing a doggy gate to install at her door to alleviate our concerns of our dog running outside. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She goes above and beyond for your dog”
“Kathy was fantastic. We had her watch our pup when we were in town for a wedding. She took time to understand our dog's personality and his particular needs. She send a couple of updates. We were very impressed by her understanding that being away from home and your people can be a little tough on pups. She gave Dooley space and let him warm up to her. Thanks, Kathy. We highly recommend!”
“Callie had an amazing time at Lydia’s while my bf and I were out of town. I felt so happy and comfortable knowing Callie was well taken care of and safe. We will be booking again! Thank you!!”
“Cynthia is amazing! Willoughby is so happy to get to stay with her and enjoy all of the love and attention. I really look forward to the recap of their day together and it's obvious he's having a terrific time. She is organized, perceptive, thoughtful, with terrific communication and detail orientation, so I'm always very at ease leaving him in her most excellent care.”
