Kasey was an excellent choice for watching our puppy, Rocky. She provided regular updates throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. When we returned, Rock was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend Kasey for pet sitting!

Sara and John were a great fit for my two high energy dogs. Their entire family loved having the dogs around and spent alot of time out doors or snuggled up. They were very communicative throught the entire stay as well and I received loads of pictures of my happy girls.

Jordan’s communication was top notch!!! Jordan was very attentive to my concerns and was flexible with our pick up/drop off schedule. Most importantly, I felt like Willard was in good hands for the short time we were away. Jordan sent texts and pictures of Willard and kept us updated throughout the stay. Jordan is great!! Highly recommended sitter!

My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.

I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!

KellyAnna was awesome to work with. Quick to respond initially. She was gracious enough to let us come over and get acquainted. My first visit I wasn't able to bring my dog with me. I had a special circumstance come up and we were able to come up with a good solution. Them we all came and visited the next day and everything went great. This was my first rover experience. I am so thrilled with this service. And KellyAnna was so helpful, I am very thankful for your ability to harbor Otis for 4 nights. Thank you, thank you!

Alice was amazing with our pup! Her house and yard set up is perfect to allow dogs to run and play. Alice was very communicative and patient as this was our first Rover experience. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and safe while we enjoyed a Michigan State game. Will definitely use Alice again and highly recommend her! Her dog is also super sweet and friendly.

Would highly recommend, they treated Henry like their own. He was happy to see us when we returned but we’re sure he misses being spoiled to the max!! We will definitely rebook when we need a dog sitter in the future! Thanks for loving Henry!
