“This is the second time we have entrusted Peaches to the care of this wonderful family, and we are just as pleased as the first time—Peaches clearly is as well. We are truly grateful to have found them. Their warmth and attentiveness toward Peaches is remarkable. They are the ideal caregivers anyone could find!!”
“If you want your pet to feel like they are home - this is it. Can't say enaugh good things about Melissa. Not only she rescued me with last moment stay but gave my dog most amazing care!”
“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“Rachel was wonderful with my two dogs. They felt right at home with her family. She's great with dogs and is very aware of tfeir behaviors. She proactively met with us prior to the stay to see how my dogs would interact with some of the other dogs she watches. Everything worked out great. I would highly recommend Rachel.”
“You want a second review? I already told you she was great with my dog, he had a fun time with her dogs and since he was recently adopted I was worried how he would do. He was fine when I picked him up!”
“Quincy had a blast during his sleepover at Jacob’s! Quincy has saparation anxiety and usually gets stressed out when we leave him but it was clear that he was happy and well rested when we picked him up from Jacob’s place. We love Jacob’s attention to detail as well as he was asking all the right questions during our meet and greet.”
“Heather took care of our dog Mars for 8 days, and we had such a great experience. She sent updates every morning and evening with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mars clearly had the best time playing with the kids, going on walks, and enjoying the backyard. It really felt like he was part of the family. We’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave him and will definitely be booking with Heather and her family again this summer!”
“I will forever be booking with sunshine, our dog Tyson was right at home with her and her family. We loved receiving all the pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing.”
“Megan took wonderful care of my 8‑month‑old golden retriever during his very first 5‑day boarding stay. She kept me updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was clearly happy, safe, and well cared for. I’m very happy with her service and will definitely recommend her and book with her again.”
“This was the best experience we had with using Rover. Stella and her family were amazing. We received photos every day, and we felt at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. Our dog has recently developed separation anxiety issues at the age of 10, which has been somewhat of a challenge to figure out since it happens when we’re gone, but Stella managed everything without issue, which was a huge comfort.”
“I’ve never had to trust a stranger with my dogs before so I was hesitant at first, but Hannah was so good with them it felt like they were staying with a family member! very communicative, attentive and trustworthy. Highly recommend!”
“Angela is a phenomenal pet sitter! I left Kirby in her care for two weeks while I traveled for my wedding and honeymoon and never once did I feel worried about Kirby not being loved on or well cared for. Angela sent tons of pictures of her and her family snuggling with him, playing with him, walking him, and more! I was completely at ease and will absolutely use her again should I have a need for pet care. She is truly exceptional!”
“This was my first time meeting Debbie and she did a fantastic job with our black labrador! I can tell he enjoyed his almost full-week stay with Debbie! She is wonderful and I will be seeking her for pet care services in the future.”
