1. MacKenzie T.
“Mackenzie was fantastic with Max. She sent pictures and updated me on how he was doing on a daily basis. Max loved playing with her pups. Her yard is huge, so plenty of room to run around. I felt very comfortable leaving Max in her care. Max really enjoyed staying at her house. I would definitely use her again for my pet.”
2. Jordan C.
“We will definitely be using Jordan again! We have a very high energy dog and he came back exhausted after a weekend of fun at her house! It was exactly what we needed coming home with a newborn baby. She sent lots of pictures and updates letting us know our pup was doing well! She’s awesome!”
3. Barbara B.
“Barbara was the first boarder I've ever used for my pups and because of this I was a bit worried. Barb made sure she kept me informed of their wellbeing and also sent pictures that warmed my heart. She took the best care of them, and they'll definitely be going back. I am so pleased and thankful! Barb, you are the absolute best.”
4. Catherine J.
“This is my first time using Rover or any pet service. We met Cathy with my dog Jenni ahead of her stay-over which made it a familiar experience when she went for boarding. Cathy is very caring and great with animals and I have already scheduled another stay for my dog with her for a work trip. Thank you!”
5. Giannina G.
“I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dog, in the care of Giannina while I was away, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience. Not only did Giannina provide outstanding care, but she also went above and beyond by celebrating my dog's birthday, making it truly special even in my absence. Giannina provided regular updates, including adorable photos and videos, which reassured me that my furry friend was in excellent hands and having a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy, reliable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much Giannina!”

10. Judy R.
“We have FINALLY found the PERFECT fur baby sitter. Judy and her husband Bob cared for our mini schnauzer Jasper with such warmth and kindness that it was truly like he was their own. Their experience of loving their own pups in the past was evident from the get go. We can’t sing their praises loud enough. Jasper didn’t come home stressed or exhausted. He was GENUINELY happy while with Judy and Bob. We knew he was safe, comfortable and in good hands. Please don’t hesitate if considering booking a stay for your pet with such a loving, kind couple. We will definitely be rebooking again and again. Thank you Judy & Bob!”

“Our dog had a wonderful weekend stay with Kortney! Kortney was super-responsive and very accommodating with our schedule. We would definitely use her again!”
12. Sue & David G.
“Sue & David we’re amazing from beginning to end! We had a call, meet & greet and they watched our dog for a week. They provided updates with pictures and not once did we have to worry while on vacation. They even let our little guy sleep with them. Do yourself a favor and hire them! You won’t regret it.”
13. Nancy & Mark N.
“Nancy and Mark responded to my short notice request for booking very promptly. Nancy was also very good about sending photos daily and letting us know how our Finnick was doing. The pictures she provided showed him being snuggled in warm blankets and having fun with other dogs inside and outside. Finnick did not hesitate to go inside with her when we first arrived and he seemed to be relaxed and enjoyed his visit with them. Thanks for your care. We will be repeat customers! The Sanchez Family”
14. Kevin H.
“Kevin and his fiancé were amazing with my dog axel during a weekend stay. They sent updates and I could tell he was very comfortable while in their care. Very friendly people as well! Thank you guys!”
15. Jorie A.
“Wow!!! Jorie is absolutely amazing…(in case you don’t read any further) This was our first time going out of town and trusting our pup with anyone, so we were quite nervous about this, we stopped by to meet her and from that instance we knew she was right for us, she cuddled and played with him, like he was her very own. When we came back to leave our pup with her she reassured us, that our pup would feel like he was on vacation himself, and she was true to her word….everyday while we were on vacation we received 1,2, and 3 pics from her showing us what a great time he was having…Jorie put us at ease and we couldn’t ask for anyone better…so if you have truly read all this …reach out to her, you won’t find a better person than her, she’s simply amazing.”
16. Bernice S.
“I received several pictures of Moppet from Bernice. He seemed to really enjoy her big fenced-in backyard and having similarly sized canine playmates. Bernice was a gentle, welcoming dogsitter.”

“Second time using Aby and she was once again amazing!”
