We had such a wonderful experience with our Bertie! They took care of our dog for two days and treated him like their own. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt completely at ease. They consistently kept us updated with videos and photos, which meant so much to us. Seeing Coco happy, comfortable, and well cared for made it easy to relax while we were away. Communication was excellent the entire time — quick responses, thoughtful updates, and genuine care. We’re so grateful for the love and attention they gave our pet and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend! 🐾

Cynthia does a great job with our Otto. She has a very happy environment and manages our somewhat high-strung dog with kindness and capability.

Cash had the best time on his weekend stay with Aly. He had a Super Bowl party with new friends! I got lots of updates and could tell he was happy and relaxed. When I went to pick him up he said hello and trotted right back inside, he was not ready to leave! I know he will be so excited to go back to his new vacation house whenever we have to leave town!

Paula is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter :) we left our puppy in her care for a week and have also dropped him off for daycare many times. She always provides detailed information about his day and even has offered suggestions/adjustments about behavior modification if needed.

This was our first time leaving Pepe with a sitter and our first time using Rover, so we were a bit nervous, you never really know who you’re leaving your dog with. But Riley was exceptional from the very beginning. Even before I booked her, she helped me figure out how the app worked and made the whole process easy. During Pepe’s stay, she kept me 100% informed at all times with photos, videos, and messages. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and professional. I truly felt peace of mind knowing Pepe was in her hands. I have no doubt he was well cared for, and I would absolutely book her again. Thank you so much, Riley, for treating Pepe like your own dog, we truly appreciate it.

Hillary is a great sitter. A dog lover, she was so engaged and involved with our 2 Goldens during the week they stayed with her and her family. She sent multiple pictures, videos, and texts every day. The dogs were in great shape when we picked them up and it was clear that that they had been very well cared for. It is so comforting to know that your beloved pets are in good hands and Hillary exudes that type of confidence in her care. We are empty nesters and could tell from the videos and pics that the dogs loved playing with her children. I highly recommend Hillary!

Heather did an amazing job with my rescue girl. I was a nervous wreck leaving her but had to travel for work. My girl settled right in and I got the cutest updates. Heather knows how to deal with my quirky dork of a pup. She was patient with her and made her feel like she was home. My girl is tired and happy. I will definitely use Heather in the future for my boarding needs.

Mike and Pam did an excellent job with our senior dog Baxter. This involved giving him special food, and administering daily medication. He was with them for and extended time and was very happy there. Mike and Pam even allowed us to pickup Baxter late in the evening when our flight was Florida was delayed by 5 hours. We would be happy to use them again on our next vacation. They are the best. Jim E.

5+ stars!! Mark and Daniel are wonderful. They are kind and gentle and made the whole process seamless. Our energetic German shepherd had surgery a week before our trip and they were able to help keep him comfy, monitor his healing, help give medications, and spoil him! We would absolutely book with them again and recommend to anyone who is nervous about leaving their pup! Very communicative and they truly go the extra mile to care for your pet like it’s their own ❤️

Her dog Bandit played with Zorro every day and when he came home we was very exercised and happy. Highly recommend Kara and would absolutely use her services in the future!
