13. Lauren C.

“Millie had a great time with Lauren and her family. After first meeting she was excited when she was dropped off to stay the night. When I picked her up the next day she was happy and playful as the day I met her.”


14. Mary M.

“I can't recommend Mary enough! I had to leave town for a trip and needed someone to care for my 10-month-old lab, and Mary was the perfect choice. From the moment we arrived, it felt like my dog was in the best hands—Mary and her dog were absolutely amazing. My lab and her Great Dane bonded instantly, and it was clear my pup was having the time of her life, playing, cuddling and even going for walks every day. Mary went above and beyond by sending regular updates and pictures, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It felt less like a dog-sitting arrangement and more like leaving my dog with family. I could tell my dog was in a loving, caring environment. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Mary, for taking such wonderful care of my sweet girl! You are truly a gem!”


15. Britnie L.


“This is my first time using Rover and I am so glad I found Britnie! She spoiled my pup just like at home, and my pup was able to play all day. Pretty sure she didn’t want to go home! I got daily detailed updates and pics of my Bella having fun. Britnie definitely seemed to treat Bella like her own, which I appreciated greatly. She worked with Bella and her sometimes odd habits, so I knew she was in good hands. The next time I head out of town, I’ll definitely be booking with Britnie again!”


16. Sarah B.
“Sarah is an excellent dog care giver! She did an excellent job with our little guy. Took him for a walk every day. Highly recommended.”


17. Brittany M.


“We boarded our two dogs with Brittany for 3 days. She was quick to respond to our boarding request and accommodated a scheduled that worked for us to do the meet & greet. She was patient with us even when I was delinquent in providing immediate responses to her questions. During the stay she sent us tons of pictures of the boys at her place having fun. She also coordinated with another sitter who was picking them from her place. Overall Brittany is just awesome and I highly recommend.”




18. Katie M.


“Katie is such a kind person & was so awesome with our boys! We got lots of pics, which helped put our minds at ease. We will definitely be rebooking soon ❤️”


19. Jennifer & Steven S.

“Jennifer and Steven treated our dogs as if it was their own, they took such good care of them, had plenty of playtime and sent us pics of the dogs daily. Highly recommend Jennifer and Steven!! Such kind and caring people.”
