“Highly recommend! Yvonne took excellent care of my fur baby, sent lots of photos and provided regular updates. So grateful - thank you, Yvonne!”
“Gayle was amazing with Ramona. I know that she can be a little diva at times and Gayle handled her perfectly. I would definitely reach out again if I need a sitter.”
“Chee took great care of my dog. You can tell she loves the dogs she watches and treats them as her own! I got multiple pictures and updates per day, and my dog got lots of walks and play time. My dog seemed very comfortable and happy in her home!”
“Angie and her daughter were both kind and caring to my fur baby! She sent multiple pictures and updates every morning and night. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“I was extremely nervous leaving my two dogs with a stranger while I went on a short trip out of state. Chandler immediately put me at ease. He showed me where they would be sleeping and informed me of their routine. While away he sent me frequent updates that helped calm my nerves. My 10 month old puppy is a bit wild with no training and when I returned she was a completely new dog. He took amazing care of them all the while giving my puppy some training tips. I am very happy as this was my first experience using rover. I highly recommend Chandler for boarding and I will be rebooking with only him for my next trip!”
“Max and Luca were well taken care of. Daily pictures were sent to show how they were doing. It looks like they were contented and enjoyed their puppy vacation. I have already booked with Leilani knowing what great care my boys will have.”
“Abigail was amazing! She was an awesome communicator and sent lots of great pictures. She was also very flexible as we made some changes to our booking. I felt very comfortable leaving my pup in her care and would definitely recommend her!”
“When we got our first dog, Wrigley, at 10 weeks old, we had no clue what an intricate member of the family he would become! I instantly worried that we would never go on vacation again, as I wasn't comfortable leaving him at a kennel. I started looking at Rover and when I saw that Jackie and Lambert were listed I was immediately relieved! Our paths had crossed with them before we got Wrigley and were always amazed at their kindness. I knew we had found the perfect place for our puppy when we go on vacation and that I wouldn't have to fly my dad in from out-of-state anymore! Yes, I'm that kind of doggie mom, which tells you that it is very important to me where I leave our pup. Jackie and Lambert took very good care of Wrigley and were not fazed by my instructions. He was evident from the many pictures and videos I received multiple times a day that he was happy and took a liking to both of them. Jackie and Lambert took Wrigley on multiple walks, played in the backyard with him, brushed him (I didn't even ask them to!), and most importantly, showed him lots of love. Wrigley is a cuddler and from the photos looks like he quickly claimed his spot on the couch cuddling Lambert. They knew that Wrigley slept in his crate next to our bed, so Lambert even slept next to his crate every night! We really appreciated this. Jackie keeps a scrapbook of their Rover doggies that is proof of how much they love doing this! I would write more, but I just spied my 10-month old puppy digging in the backyard (argh! although Jackie said he was a perfect angel for them!), so don't hesitate- book your next vacation and book Jackie and Lambert!”
“Angel did an amazing job watching our dog Natsu! She sent pictures and gave regular updates on how he was doing. She responded quickly when I sent messages to her. Natsu was happy and content during his stay. We could not be more happy with the care she provided him while we were gone. We will definitely look for her the next time we are going out of town for Natsu.”
“We cannot thank Rachel enough for taking care of our Maggie girl while we were out of town. She definitely enjoyed her time with all of her new 4 legged friends. Rachel sent us daily updates and always includes either a picture, video or both. My son loved getting these updates each day.”
“Happy Dogs! Constant and regular contact from Jin and Weiliang. Multiple photos of my dogs playing, eating….well, just being dogs. I was a repeat customer and hope to keep “repeating”!”
“Thank you for watching Molly and Bailey, they looked like they had a great time from the pictures. A very friendly and inviting family, you don't need to be worried about leaving your dogs with Absalon, we'll be booking for future trips as long as they are available!”
“Our first time leaving our Nana and we couldn’t have made the best decision on choosing Christina to care for her. She was amazing with our baby, sent us updates on how she was doing and pictures. We were happy and able to enjoy our vacation with no worries about our Nana. Look forward to booking again.”
“Wonderful family..... Brianna and her family gave me the best gift. Loving and taking great care of my dogs. Had a great trip knowing they were with them.”
“Our plans were ruined but Kathy was extremely flexible. She has a beautiful home setup for dogs. My dogs absolutely loved her backyard. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my doggies with Kathy for any period of time.”
“We were so nervous to leave our puppy for the first time, but Christine took the best care of her! She sends daily updates and is there to answer any question you have. You won’t regret using her to watch your fur baby!”
“Travis took great care of our dog while we were away! He provided daily updates and photos. It looked like our dog even became good friends with his dogs. Would definitely recommend and would book with Travis again in the future.”
“Tammy took great care of Stella while we were out of town. She sent me pictures and messages to let me know how she was doing. Stella was happy and acting like herself when I picked her up so I know Tammy treated her like one of her own! I will definitely use Tammy again!”
