“Alfie had the best time with Lina! This was my first time using rover and I had no stresses while away. She sent a lot of update pictures and made me feel at ease. When leaving Alfie was almost as sad to leave her as excited to come home 😂. Will be using Lina again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Robin! She was very communicative, providing and quite clear. It was a great surprise to receive more than one photo of my dog, cockatoo under her care! This was my dog's first time boarding and we will certainly use her service for sure!”
“Yi is so caring and helpful throughout the whole process! Chuck stayed with Yi for 5 days and 4 nights. She took such good care of him. We got constant updates and multiple photos from her every day.”
“Andy and his family were wonderful boarding our two mini goldendoodles for several days. He sent pictures every day and both dogs looked very happy. While the dogs were happy to see us when we picked them up, they also kept running over to Andy to show their love. He took great care of our fur babies and we look forward to boarding with him again!!”
“Sush and her sweet family were great! Our dog met them beforehand and when it came time to drop him off, he went in happily. I received daily photos of him and could tell he was relaxed and having fun with the other dogs. Sush gave him lots of love and kept him comfortable. We will definitely book with Sush again!”
“Amazing. They were so caring and their dog is probably the most friendly friend our dog has ever gotten the pleasure of playing and living with over the span of almost a week. We got tons of pictures during the course of the stay, and felt that we were in truly caring hands. Never had a worry. Our dog is definitely looking forward to the next time we send her over lol. 10/10”
“Karen took great care of our dog Henry. She was always quick to respond and was very flexible when our flight home was cancelled last minute. We will definitely be reaching out to Karen going forward. Five stars!”
“Misa took great care of our old German shepherd during the two weeks of the holiday season. She sent regular updates and pictures. Thank you Misa, we will definitely board Alice with you in the future!”
“Right from the beginning, Leah was fantastic. She communicated with me very promptly and politely, and she was easy to connect with. She followed the instructions for our dog and took great care of him while we were gone with walks and love. She also sent lots of pictures and videos. When we picked our dog up I told Leah, next time we go out of town, I will definitely be calling her first!”
“Sophia was wonderful to Ally our little Bijon. Ally came home happy and restful. She had her own vacation. I felt at ease knowing she was with Sophia. I am going back to her for our next vacation.”
“Yoshiko was absolutely amazing! We left our 3 month old kitten with her for the first time for 5 days and every day she sent us photos and updates to make sure we were comfortable and could enjoy our vacation! I will absolutely book her again!!”
“Had a great experience with Woyni! Communicative, kind, caring. Honestly, could not ask for a better experience. When we went to leave our dog went back to give her some cuddles. 🥰”
“We tried Musa for our pug for a day before deciding to book for a three day trip we were going to undertake. I am very much pleased since my dog dashed to his front door running along the walkway from the road for her second visit. Normally, if she doesn’t like or is afraid she retracts, and clings to me.”
“Maverick had a great time with Mr. Christopher and I travelled stress free cause I know my boy would be well looked after. I will trust Mr. Christopher with my dogs and really recommend to anyone who need their dogs really well taken care of . Thanks”
“Swati took such amazing care of Murphy! She provided me with daily updates on his day and occasional photos of him enjoying his stay. He seemed so happy there and I have no doubt he would enjoy another vacation at her house. We will definitely use her again when we need a sitter!”
