Myra was great. Flexible with a quick pick up the day before, offered to see about a refund for the extra night, we declined the offer. The dogs both seemed happy and healthy when we picked them up. Thanks so much for the service and will definitely use again! Relieved to find a reliable dog sitter who is close to our home and she sends pictures while you are away from your pets... Those pictures assure you more than words can say. Thanks, again!

Rachel is AMAZING!! This was my first time boarding my pups (one with anxiety) and using Rover. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 11/10 experience! We did a meet and greet ahead of time, which was super helpful. She has a wonderful setup! A nice, large, fenced-in yard for them to run around and play. The upper deck is perfect for my pups looking out over the yard and resting in the sun. Rachel is a fantastic communicator sending multiple updates, pics and videos throughout the day. With my permission, the dogs were allowed on the couch and provided lots of cuddles and she even slept in the spare room with them (just like home). For my pup with anxiety, she moved slow and gave her time to adjust and settle. My babies got all the play, love and attention they are used to (plus a little more) 😊😊 Also, Rachel was very flexible with me for drop-off and pickup as we were going out of town. My heart is so full knowing my babies were so well cared for! Thank you Rachel!!!

She had a separate room for our 3 kitties with cat tree and litter box. It wasn't crowded. She came in and checked in on them a few times a day. They were just being anti social because of moving. She was a caring individual. She kept the litter boxes clean and was wonderful with communication and pictures.

Wonderful, I love the convenience of having her pick him up and drop him off, he was worn out when he got home which is great, he got to burn off lots of energy, and she was a sweetheart, who had a long goodbye of kisses from Gucci

I can't recommend Ms. Deborah enough! She took such wonderful care of my two fur babies during their stay. From the moment they arrived, they felt right at home and quickly adjusted to their new environment. They absolutely loved spending time on her farm, and I could tell they were in great hands. It's clear that Ms. Deborah has a genuine love for animals, and she went above and beyond to ensure my pets were happy, comfortable, and well-cared for. I'll definitely be booking with her again!

Brix did very well during her 2 week stay with Laura M. We were very pleased with Laura's knowledge of dog care and her attentiveness to our dog's personal needs. I found Laura to be very dependable, offering updates and even sending us photos periodically while we were away on vacation. Many thanks for a job well done, Laura!! Rover needs to make their booking services more user friendly. We had a few glitches with their program but Laura helped us straighten it out.

Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.

Karen is amazing! I have been trusting her with my dog for 5 years. When Mellie is with her, I know she will be pampered and treated like her own. I love all the pictures and updates I get while I’m gone. It feels good to leave knowing Mellie is so excited to see Karen, her family, and her dogs.

Christopher is the best boarder we have ever known. Our dogs were so happy to meet him and were full of joyous energy when we went to pick them up. We could tell he had taken such good care of our two doodles. We highly recommend Christopher for any dog needs you have.
