“Gunna had a great time and made himself at home with Jessica and her kids. He had a fun time playing in the large backyard and on his walks. Jessica was quick to respond, gave us daily updates, and above all was able to watch Gunna last minute.”
“I was scrambling to find dog boarding when my friend canceled on me at the last minute. I had no backup plan and actually thought I’d have to send my dog to a kennel for the week. Luckily, as I was looking up kennels, I found information on Rover. So this was my very first time using Rover and I was extremely nervous. Turns out, there was absolutely no reason for me to be. Rover is very easy to use and I was able to find Julie & Kenneth N’s information. After seeing/reading the positive reviews I made immediate plans to meet them and have them meet my Husky, Max. When Julie & Ken arrived, they were very friendly, easy to talk to and most importantly, they love dogs. I was able to book Max to stay with Julie & Ken for the entire week that we were on a family vacation. As promised, I got daily emails (with pictures) of how Max was doing and Julie even let me know how helpful Max was in the kitchen — by being watchful to ensure Julie didn’t drop anything while preparing lunch. I loved all of the text communications I received — Max was smiling in some of the pics. That put me at ease too. If you want top notch boarding for your dog, then I highly recommend this dog-loving duo. Your dog will be well taken care of and will be happy with Julie & Ken. In the future, whenever we need dog boarding, Julie & Ken will be my very first choice. I am sincerely grateful to them for their excellent care of Max.”
“Hillary did an exceptional job with our three dogs! She kept us informed through frequent updates and photos of our furry companions playing with her children. The dogs always seemed delighted and cherished, receiving all the attention they deserved. It was a delightful feeling to know that our dogs were having a wonderful time while we were away. Upon our return, they appeared relaxed and rejuvenated, ready to greet us with enthusiasm.”
“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”

“Once again our girls had the best time with Kamie & Patrick. The photos and the videos they provide us with show they have a home away from home. I'm sure the girls don't want to come home. We are very comfortable giving Kamie & Pat the responsibility of caring for our girls when we are away. They adapt their routine to fit our girls and we couldn't be happier with their service.”

“Paris was fantastic with our dog! This was our first time using rover.com and she sent us lots of pictures which put us at ease. Our dog can be very timid in certain situations but after only one night at Paris’ house he seemed totally comfortable! Also, our flight got delayed by almost three hours and Paris was so sweet and accommodating. We really appreciated her flexibility! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paris to anyone looking for pet care.”
