“So happy that we found Cathy! Super nice family that I felt I had known them for years. Our dog just seemed to fit right in with them! Cathy kept me updated to let me know how everything was going... truly made me feel better knowing how he was doing. Would absolutely have Cathy watch again!”
“What a great stay! Tami had great communication before and during the stay. She also sent lots of pictures of Faye playing with her two fun labs, Dolly and Bear . She has a great fenced in area for lots of play time and Faye felt right at home. They had a weekend of fun and Faye was worn out! Tami was flexible and willing to give Faye medicine as we had a last minute vet trip right before our trip. Will definitely be back!”
“I just wanted to say how pleased I am with Estefania's service! She's kind and made our pups feel very welcome. She sent daily pictures of them and was wonderful about communicating! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“I was so happy with my dog’s stay at Magda’s house. Her and her family were so welcoming and made me feel very comfortable leaving the pup there for 4 nights. She sent many pictures and gave updates along the way; I had no worries while I was out of the country. Highly recommend!”
“Debbie and Reggie took very good care of Daisy and Patch. They communicated well with us and sent daily photos. They clearly kept our pups active and attended to. Feed well even our dogs can be finicky eaters. Would definitely use them again.”

“Renae was super friendly and helpful. This was my first time using Rover for Sammy and I will continue to use this service. Renae gave me updates throughout the stay which was very reassuring. Sammy was able to play with Renae's pup which was very nice for him to have a friend instead of being alone at the pets hotel.”
“My dog, Sara Lee, stayed for 4 nights and when I picked her up she was very happy. Sara just loved being there. Kasha really knew what to do with my dog to make her feel comfortable and at home especially since my dog is timid. I would highly recommend Kasha to care for my dog.”

“Lori was great! I felt like I was leaving my fur babies with family. I was very comfortable with her (and family) taking care of my dogs. She sent pics and videos regularly. She was very good about snuggles when they needed them. She wasn't afraid of some of their "quirks" and made sure they were comfortable while we were away. Lori went above and beyond to make everyone enjoy the week. Thank you! I would definitely book with her again.”

Rockdale dog parents share their Rover experiences
The best !! Excellent communication, I was sent pictures daily. My dog looked happy and content. She seemed so anxious when I dropped her off and I had never had to board her before, I am so grateful to Sarah and her family for treating my dog like family. If I ever need to board her again, Sarah will be my first choice. I’m so happy and Lucy is so happy.
We came from out of town for a wedding and our puppy Bailey wasn't doing so well in the hotel on her own so we were in desperate need for someone to watch her, Denise was super quick and was able to take her on a real short notice and kept us updated all day/night with so many photos. Bailey was well taken care of and came to us tired from running around with Azure. Couldn't thank her enough.
