“Jan is so loving and attentive. I’m going to book her a third time. She does more than most and goes above and beyond with your little fur baby. She loves animals and it shows. You never have to worry about your fur baby when they are in her care.”

“Penny had an excellent time with Rob and I will definitely book him again!! He sent me updates and pictures the whole time I was gone, which I appreciated. I wasn’t worried at all because she was left in amazing hands and I had the chance to meet with Rob before sending her over. 10/10 experience.”

“The absolute best! We do not live close to Kimberly but the level of care and love she and her family give to both our babies makes the travel absolutely worth it. She makes our pets apart of her family and they absolutely adore staying with Kim. Highly recommended!”


“Angelica was great. My dogs had only been boarded at their vet before but I wanted to try leaving them with someone. Angelica was so caring and sent me pics throughout their stay. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Sassy had such an amazing time with Michael and Joanna. They really made her feel at home. They have the perfect setup to take care of your pets with all of the essentials and more! Sassy was able to make new friends and receive all the love and attention she desires. They made sure to keep me up to date by sending daily pics and videos. If you are looking for a safe, reliable, and fun environment for your dog, be sure to book with them. They are true pet professionals that provide the support and care needed for your animals. And they even made a cute collar and bandana for Sassy that she loves! I will definitely bring Sassy back whenever I need a sitter.”

“Obi seemed to really enjoy his stay with Brian! Obi is sensitive, so he will get sick from separation anxiety after I pick him up from a stay or he will be very clingy. He’s been completely normal since I’ve picked him up and he is doing perfectly fine! Brian provided me updates daily that eased my own separation anxiety. Thank you, Brian!”

“Vicky is great. She communicates quickly and sends videos of my dog and I could tell he was having a lot of fun. She is easy to work with. She agreed to meet my dog a few days before we had her sit just so he could feel comfortable with her. I would definitely have her take care of my dog again.”

“Bear was so well taken care of with Maria! She sends pictures and videos everyday and accommodates all his special needs. I even last minute had to extend my boarding and she was able to do so with no issue. I know Bear is in good hands whenever he’s with Maria!”

“It was a pleasure having tanqueray look after my baby Mya . She kept me updated with Mya and took such great care of Mya . Mya has never been away from home before so I was a bit iffy at first but tanqueray made me feel so much more calm and relaxed. Definitely will be booking with her next week”

“Shirley is without a a doubt the best sitter we’ve ever had. It’s clear she truly cares about animals with her whole heart and treats every time she sits our pup as if he were her own. We keep coming back to Shirley again and again because of how easily she relieves us of any worry about how our pup is doing, and how happy he is to be with her while we’re gone. We highly recommend her for any type of service, and especially boarding in her home!”

“Frankie had an amazing stay with Julia. She was very attentive and took great care of him. Also, she was great at communicating with us and making us feel comfortable, knowing that he was doing great. Highly recommended!”

“Doug & Deb are wonderful pet parents! With short notice, they took in my senior dog and made her feel home. Well cared for and exercised. We will definitely come back!”

“Gabriela & Richard took awesome care of my Tyson, I feel lucky to have found people who took such great care of my pup! Every picture or video they shared showed him as being completely comfortable and happy. I would highly recommend them!”
“Diana and Scott did a great job watching our dog Chalupa. They sat her for a week, and it was clear Chalupa was well cared for and got lots of attention. Would definitely recommend Diana and Scott to others!”


“I cannot rave enough about how wonderful Jonelle and her family are! They took such great care of my dog Topo! Topo is an anxious dog but shortly after being dropped off at Jonelle’s house, she was comfortable, playing fetch, and enjoying the company of her family and two pups! She was always sending me updates and photos which help me feel relieved all weekend. I truly would recommend Jonelle’s care if you want your pup to feel at home and be loved like family. Thank you so much Jonelle and family I know Topo had a blast!”

“I can’t express how WONDERFUL our dogs stay was with Peter. We received constant updates and our sweet Cocoa was treated exactly as a family member (truly!). We were so happy knowing our pup was with such loving and caring people. We will absolutely be staying with them again!”


“Cheryl was absolutely awesome. I felt 100% comfortable with her taking care of my 17.5 year old dog. She sent regular updates and was very timely with correspondences. I would definitely use her again.”

River Grove dog parents share their Rover experiences
We are so grateful for the wonderful care Sasha received while we were away for the weekend. Jasmin and her husband were incredibly sweet, kind, and loving, and from the moment we met them, we knew Sasha was in great hands. Knowing our girl was being cared for and loved on like one of their own gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a happy pup, and that means everything to us. We truly appreciate the kindness they showed Sasha and would gladly trust them with her again. Highly recommend!

Lauriann and Sven were amazing. From the second we showed up to drop the fur babies off knew we had found some special people. One of our dogs is usually a little slow to warm up to new people but he seemed to be happy and content from the get go. And Sven said they got along splendidly. Lauriann sent update pics throughout the weekend and we could tell the pups were having a great time. We greatly appreciate how kind, attentive, and welcome both Lauriann and Sven are.

I have been leaving my dogs at Robs place for over a year now. My dogs are always excited when they get there and are always having a good time playing with the other pups there. Rob always sends videos of him walking our dogs and of them playing with others which is always great to see. I will continue using Rob for future stays!

Robert watched our dog Izzy and we had a great experience! It’s never easy leaving a senior pup with someone new, but he sent many updates and pictures, and she came home happy and exhausted! Highly recommend, we would love to leave Izzy with him again knowing she is in great, capable hands!
