“Maceson was awesome for my older dog. Very attentive, and I felt secure about my decision from the moment I dropped her off. She made herself at home, and took over his dog bed right from the start. Maceson was always informative of the daily routine and I can't say enough good about experience as a whole. He will be used again if available.”

“Janet is such a dream! We had our reservation booked for months ahead with our vet’s kennel. We discovered just 3 nights before we were to leave, that our kennel does not have any attendants in the building from 7pm to 7am. Our senior dog has health concerns and we were contemplating canceling our trip if nobody could be with them overnight. After connecting with Janet, we knew our babies would be in good hands with her. She checked in often and sent pictures. Her feedback on their progress of adjusting (they have never stayed overnight away from home) were reassuring and gave us such peace on our trip. Janet has definitely made us feel like we could travel more than one a year now! I truly feel like she genuinely loves my babies 🩷”

“Gaby was responsive, sent pictures and updates of Finn, and took great care of him as he came home happy and healthy! We would use her again!”

“Nicole was absolutely wonderful with Atlas! She was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs, and I loved that she sent me updates throughout his stay. It made such a difference being able to see him happy and settled, giving me 100% confident that he was in great hands and being well taken care of the entire time! 🤍 Would recommend and book again.”


“Mark is great! Sherwin is a snuggly pup and Mark was all for it. He sent pictures everyday of Sherwin playing in the yard, out on walks, and snuggling on the couch. Mark was very flexible with my schedule that kept changing last minute--I missed a connecting flight and ended up getting home a little later than planned. Next time we go out of town, if Mark is free he'll definitely be our go to.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! If we are ever in the Memphis area again, we will definitely be looking you up. Thanks again for taking such great care of our little lady!”

“Murphy had a great time at Brittany's. It was his first time staying somewhere besides home and it was a great experience. He came home happy and worn out. I think he had a great time playing with her dogs!”

“Madelyn was so sweet and nice, and Ruby had such a wonderful time! She sent updates throughout her stay and was very accommodating to Ruby’s needs! We will definitely be booking with her in the future!!”

“Millie loved her Thanksgiving stay! She enjoyed staying with Tara and her pups a millions times more than being crated at other facilities. Highly recommend.”

“Rashad was great! My cat Mao had a great time getting all the cuddles he could while I was away, and Rashad was super patient and accommodating when I had to extend Mao’s stay by a day and a half due to unforeseen travel complications. This was a great boarding experience and I would absolutely book again. 10/10”

“Derek was great and able to take Marshall at the last minute. He took great care of our pet and provided updates throughout the day. Very communicative and reliable. I would recommend Derek to anyone looking to board a dog.”

“Could not say anything better about this Rover! Through weather emergencies, last minute family emergencies, a spontaneous skin issue during a dogs’ stay, they have been flexible, communicative, and very kind and caring towards our dogs. We are sad to be moving and lose this Rover, would 100% recommend”

“Super happy with Rebecca and Stephen. They took great care of our Dog Raolcan while we had to be away on business. Glad he could feel at hime away from home and had friends to play with. They were very friendly, professional and communicative. Thanks so much! Already scheduled to use them again!”


“Gage was really great with Bash. He communicated regularly and provided daily updates with pictures and videos. Bash was more than happy to stay with Gage and I would be happy to book him again.”

“Abby is great! She took very good care of our dog, Aslan. She sent us pictures every day, which made us very happy. Abby really loves animals, and we could see it. We are very happy with how she cared for Aslan. Highly recommended!”

“Amy and her lovely family took Dude, my 1 yo male Lab, for a week. They assimilated him into their pack from day one and made him happy. She shared updates and pictures at least once a day. He’s a handful but they took it all in stride and with aplomb. I’ll def use them again for any of my dog sitting needs!!”

“Our 2 crazy hounds were happy with Justin. They are a lot to handle but he had no problems. Tater does not do well in a boarding facility, but he was his normal self when picked up from Justin.”

“Shania is a great host. She's flexible on times and very responsive. Seamless drop-off and pick ups. My kitty loves playing with her daughter.”

Raleigh dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mark was great! He took great care introducing Bear to the other dogs in his care. He communicated well when my instructions were unclear and also sent an update with multiple pictures each day. It was obvious Bear was living his best life playing in Mark’s backyard with the other dogs! We would definitely recommend Mark and will use him again!
