“Dana was great and sent me pictures throughout my dog stay with her. I have a Vizsla and she is high energy. She really enjoyed her time there and made her feel at home. I’m definitely going to use Dana again.”
“I was super nervous to leave Remy with a stranger for the 1st time, but as soon as I met Christina, I knew she was in good hands. Christina sent me so many pictures and updates of Remy having the best time playing in their amazing back yard, going on multiple (!!!) hikes, and snuggling with their sweet boy Frankie. If you have a dog with a lot of energy - look no further for the ultimate pet sitter! Christina, her husband, and their dog Frankie truly treated Remy like part of their family for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more thankful for finding them on Rover. If I could give Christina 100 stars, I would! Remy and I are both looking forward to her next stay at their home!”
“Sharon was amazing! Bam Bam gets anxious when we leave him and Sharon was so understanding, patient, kind, and showed him affection to help calm him down. We got daily updates and Bam Bam came home happy and tired :) we hope to use Sharon again in the future!”
“Liz took such great care of our dogs. We’ve booked her again for a mini staycation! She really took our individual dog’s needs into her care which meant the world.”
“Suzanne was great with communication throughout the entire process. She sent us daily updates with photos or video. I would definitely use her again! Abel seemed very happy at pick up!”
“Nick was great for an overnight with my dogs Crackerjack and Honey. They were exhausted when they came home and were well-loved while in NIck's care. He, his fiance, and their dog Eva make for a warm family to take care of my dogs!”
“They took amazing care of my girl Emma! I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care, and Emma was able to get plenty of exercise in the fenced yard and lots of attention! I think Emma might have gotten a little younger while on her mini-vacation!”
“This was our first time boarding and we could not have picked a better couple to trust with our dog, Wesley! We got daily pictures/updates of him having a great time playing with the other pups, and snuggling in bed. We will 100% be using Chris & Whitney for any future trips!!”
“I could immediately tell that my dog settled in for her stay easily. I loved the updates, and working with them was super easy. I hope to use their services again in the future.”
“Kim is the best! This is the 2nd time Benji has stayed for an extended visit with Kim. He is well cared for & Kim is such an animal lover. If you’re looking for a safe & caring environment where your pup will be entertained by other dogs & treated like royalty, Kim should be your choice.”
“I was very pleased with my dog Flynns stay with Sue. I received so many updates and photos. So happy. He lived in her home as if he were part of the family.”
“We came to Newport for a 2day trip, and did not pre arrange any dog sitters. We reached out to Kyoka & John, and they replied immediately. They came to pick up our dog Ginger with their puppy. We immediately knew that Ginger was in safe hands. Kyoka is extremely accommodating, caring and sweet. She sent us many photos and updates. Ginger looks so happy and clean when we got him back. Highly recommend Kyoka & John!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Francis from the start! She and her family were so polite and loved my dog unconditionally. She sent many pictures and updates on our girl which we loved so much! My dog was so sad to leave because she was having so much fun lol. We can’t wait to use her again!”
“Keasha was a stellar pet sitter to Milo my Yorkshire Terrier she provided such TLC to him while I was away. She checked in with me daily on him eating, drinking and walking. Keasha gave me such peace of mind.”
“Celina is great dog sitter, she cared for my dog while visiting out of state. My dog looked calm, and happy around Celina. I would recommend her as dog sitter.”
“Laura and her daughters were wonderful to Sophie, and we’re so glad we chose to book them! Laura was flexible, patient, and communicative the entire time. We had a lovely call leading up to Sophie’s stay to make sure it was a good fit and to discuss all of Sophie’s routines and behaviors. Laura took Sophie’s safety and her individual needs seriously—I never had to question if Sophie would be in good hands. Laura and her daughters treated Sophie like she was their own — they took her on long walks and adventures and incorporated Sophie into their life for the weekend. They sent me photos throughout her stay so I could see all of the fun Sophie was having, and that meant a lot. I really appreciate the care that they gave my dog and I will definitely book them again if the opportunity pops up. Thank you Laura & family for watching Sophie this weekend!”
