“Another wonderful stay with Jackie and her family! Our dog Ivy is treated like one of their own dogs and we appreciate that! We also love getting videos and pictures daily!”
“Kim is great. She did an amazing job making Jax feel at home, as well as giving me the peace of mind knowing he was being well taken care of. She sent plenty of updates, pictures, and videos throughout his stay. I could tell he was having fun. She even shared some useful training tips that I plan to use. Jax is definitely looking forward to seeing her again.”
“Once again, Derek and his family were the perfect caregivers for my dog Bear. They are kind, caring, and willing to do all of the small, nice things for Bear that I do. I am so happy to have found Derek, as we have several long trips planned in the next few months. We will go away knowing that our sweet pup is in the best hands possible. Thank you so much, Derek!”
“Jessica was flexible and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Selah in her hands an we would definitely use her again. Selah seemed to love being with Jessica and her daughter. They even took her in the car for an outing which she loves.”
“You’re absolutely amazing!!! Ziva won’t go to anyone else at home or my friends. But after just a few minutes she has no problem with you at all. I trust her instincts-so you gotta be an amazing person!!!! She always has fun at your house and the pictures show it!!! Thank you so very much for taking such good care of my furbaby!!!!”
“Stella and her family, including her 140 lb. dog, Mufasa, have been a wonderful "dog-cation" for our Cockapoo, Wicket. Wicket was fairly comfortable when we visited, and "smiling" in all the photos she sent during his stay. I could clearly see when we got back, that he was comfortable there. I must also add, that if you need a sedative for your dog, 5 days of dog care might do it. Wicket had a great time, but he has been sleeping for two days, now. Probably worn out with all the fun!”
“Christine did a great job with our dog. He is a shy and skittish boy and I appreciated her patience with all of his eccentricities! I would definitely use her service again.”
“John and his wife Kathy go over and above to create a comfortable environment for our dogs. They boarded them for two weeks and we got regular reports. We never had to worry about our two dogs, other than to worry if they’d ever want to leave John and Kathy’s! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Patricia. Sprocket stayed over for 4 days and everything was perfect. He was well looked after and we received updates throughout our vacation. If there were 6 stars, we would have given 6!”
“Carolyn was amazing with Wrigley. Her communication was wonderful and she was extremely flexible when an emergency arised with our family. We will definitely use her again!”
“Flynn loved his stay at Angela's! He had lots of attention and had fun playing with her dogs. We received plenty of pictures and updates and knew he was in good hands while we were away. She is very personable and clearly loves animals!”
“This was my first rover experience and it couldn’t have gone smoother . Debbie and Tom are super nice and were communicative throughout the whole process! Nyla was very well taken care of and clearly had a lot of fun during her stay :)”
“Jill is an amazing and professional dog sitter! She picked up my dog right from my house and took wonderful care of him for an extended period of time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for the best dog sitter!”
“Melody was great. I'm usually nervous to leave my 80lb baby with anyone, but Melody made me feel at ease. She sent a ton of pictures and updates, which I appreciated. Will definitely use Melody in the future.”
“You will NOT find better care for your fur babies! Liz and her husband took EXCELLENT care of my one year old, high Energy, diabetic pup! My pup is HIGH maintenance… they fed Cocoa like she was at a restaurant, gave her insulin shots 2x a day, let her play all day with their dogs, walks, Cocoa slept on their bed and couch. I think my dog misses them already! I got tons of photos (even a photo shoot with Santa) and tons of updates and videos. I can’t give a better review. Liz is like hitting the jackpot. See you next time ❤️ and THANK YOU.”
