“My dog has stayed with Anthony twice now and always has a great time. Anthony is great about sending pictures and updates. The most recent time my dog stayed with him, I had an emergency that kept me from getting my dog on the scheduled day, but Anthony was kind enough to extend his stay!”
“Emily took great care of my Dobermann for 8 days. She took him on walks every day and he was able to socialize with her dogs and kids. She was very attentive with his feeding and diet concerns and sent me daily pictures. He seemed very happy in her care.”
“Brianna was great! I was able to rest assured that my pup was secure and well taken care of while I was out of town and not stuck in a crate/kennel with 15 other dogs. She was very responsive, professional, and kind. I would definitely recommend her or use her again for boarding in the future. Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby!”
“Sara was amazing! Super friendly, great to work with, and our doggie was so well taken care of! Frequent updates with photos. Excellent experience. Highly recommend!!! She (and her adorable kids) are now our go-to dog sitters! 😁”
“Sydney and Luna had an excellent stay! They were very spoiled with lots of love and attention. We received pictures of their fun twice a day! We highly recommend Jason and Kristen!”
“We had such a great experience with Matt! He watched both of our pups for over a week and did an amazing job. He sent regular updates with pictures, took them on multiple walks, and made sure they were happy and well cared for the entire time. We’ll definitely be booking with him again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“Melissa took such good care of my Ziggy while I was away for work. She was kind, flexible (with my travel schedule/delays), and communicative during his stay. I could tell Ziggy really enjoyed himself. Thanks Melissa!”
“A dog is family, so finding a caregiver for an extended stay can be challenging. We found Paige to be ideal for Buster, a 12 year old Maltese mix. Paige's home environment is very similar to ours so Buster was comfortable in his stay. Paige communicated with updates and pictures which was nice and comforting for us. I would highly recommend Paige.”
“We love Cari so much, this is our 4th time using her! You truly can’t find anyone more patient, loving, and caring than Cari, and we are so grateful to have her watch our dogs while we are away! She is so understanding of their quirks and is always happy to help with whatever they might need. Thanks for everything, Cari!”
“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.”
“Todd & Maureen were (once again) great to take our hyperactive dog Raven for these days. Since their road was having some work done they actually came and got her and left her off. We have full confidence in their care of our dog and highly recommend them.”
“Hayley has watched my puppers before and Iroh always comes back happy and suckered out from playing with her two dogs. He loves it there. Hayley is also so kind, working with me on a new pickup time when my original pickup time proved difficult. Thanks for the flexibility, Hayley!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Alex and her wonderful family! They took such amazing care of my dog, Rose, and made her feel right at home. It was clear from the start how much love and attention they gave her, and I was so grateful for the updates and photos throughout her stay. Rose came back happy and relaxed, and I know she had a great time. I highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and loving sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!💕🐶”
“Thank you, Victoria and Rishi, for taking care of Izzy. This was the first time we used Rover.com and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Your updates and videos were fabulous and put our minds at ease…THANK YOU!”
“Kris and his whole family are nothing short of incredible with our Ruthie. They were so patient with her as it took a few stays for her to finally get comfortable. If Ruthie could talk, I’m almost positive she’d tell us our house is not nearly as fun. Thanks again!”
“One issue - Stella was wayyyyyy too spoiled! We felt very comfortable with Michelle and she communicated well from the first meet and greet to the week long stay. You can tell she truly loves animals and we will use her again. Thanks for making her feel at home and we also appreciate the fact that there is only one client at a time.”
