Ivan was the best choice to watch Bella! He was quick to respond to the original request and was flexible in scheduling a time for the meet and greet. He provided pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day! He even taught Bella a new trick! I would highly recommend Ivan!

Devin and Mai were absolutely amazing with Jax. This is the second time he was going to stay with them and as soon as we got to their door he got so excited. It is the best feeling dropping him off and not having him cry or get upset because he knows he is going to get to hangout with Devin and Mai. I highly highly recommend them and we will continue to use them in the future.

Andy took excellent care of our 10 year old Weimaraner over a long holiday break. She had lots of exercise and healthy treats (he verified if it was okay to give them to her first). Andy sent photos and videos of her often. We were very happy with her stay with him and Milo!

Diana & Michael did a wonderful job watching our miniature dachshund. They were super sweet and welcoming, and kept us updated regularly on activities they were doing and even sent pictures! We always felt our dog was in good hands with this trustworthy couple. We would absolutely love for them to dog sit for us again!

Diana and her family were really sweet. She watched my 2 yorkies for the weekend and I felt very comfortable leaving them with her. She was quick to respond to messages, sent me pics of my pups while I was gone and was flexible with drop off/ pick up times. We already have our next stay with her booked, thanks Diana!

Great communication, excellent service. William and his girlfriend take good care of our energetic, playful dog, Milo. They took him for daily walk, and provided daily updates/pictures which put us at ease leaving Milo with them. Also they are very accommodating for drop-off and late pick-up times. Highly recommended.

Kiara watched my dog for a few days with fairly little advanced notice. I appreciated her flexibility in arranging a meet and greet as this was the first time my dog stayed with her, and she was very communicative about her home and family. I received updates throughout my dog’s stay. I would board my dog with Kiara again!

Yoon & Eugen were great!! Our pups can be nervous in new places sometimes but they instantly settled in at their house. We received multiple updates w/ pics throughout the day showing our pups happy & enjoying their stay. Our pups especially loved their backyard - perfect for playing fetch! We'd highly recommend Yoon & Eugen.

Mario was great. He kept me updated on my dogs while I was away and sent several pictures of them having fun at the beach and relaxing at his home. It made me feel better to know they were in good hands. Would definitely use Mario again when I go out of town.

Karl and his family took great care of our pup for a few days. He sent pics throughout the stay to keep us posted. We felt like our pup was living her best life with trips to the beach, and lots of walks and cuddles with the kids. I highly recommend Karl and his family, and would definitely book them again without hesitation.

We loved meeting Kathleen and her family before our dog Penny actually stayed at their home. For us, their location was convenient and what was even better is the family had a kind and warm spirit. Penny came back well rested and in good spirits. Kathleen and her family made sure that Penny was well taken care of. Penny is an equal part of our family, so finding good care for her is very important to us. We’re very pleased with Kathleen and appreciated all the photo updates on Penny’s stay.

Leila was an amazing host for boarding our dog! This was our first experience using Rover to board our dog that is still a puppy and very attached to us. Leila immediately welcomed our pup as one of her own and we noticed that our dog was very friendly around her. Leila was very calm and kind with our pup can tend to be on the active and anxious side. She gave updates on how our dog was doing everyday she was there. This gave my wife and I great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend booking with Leila and we will also.

About: I've had furry companions by my side since I can remember! Currently, I'm the proud parent of two adorable ten-year-old pups, Ox and Stella. Ox, a mini French Bulldog, and Stella, a Boston Terrier, bring so much joy into my life with their unique personalities. Despite their differences, they're the best of friends. Adding to the mix is Milo, my sweet 16-year-old cat, who enjoys soaking up the sun and exploring the great outdoors. He's a seasoned pro at cohabiting with dogs, making our little family dynamic extra special. My partner and I are fortunate to work from home full-time, ensuring that our beloved pets receive all the care and attention they deserve. Your furry friend will be treated like royalty under our roof! Both my partner and I work remotely full-time, affording us flexible schedules. This ensures that your pet will receive the utmost care and attention they deserve. Additionally, we're happy to work around your schedule. Your furry friend will be well looked after at my place for boarding. And if I'm watching them at your house, I'll make sure to stick to the guidelines and notes for top-notch care. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions—I'll keep you posted with plenty of updates along the way!

Zicheng’s family did a great job watching our dog! They allowed us to come over to meet them and their dog Kennedy before we made a decision. While we were gone, they stayed in contact with us and sent a lot of cute pictures and videos. They tracked the potty schedule of my dog and let me know. They let my dog sleeping with them to make her feel like home. Our dog seemed very happy and comfortable at their home. Would definitely recommend Zicheng and rebook with them!

Our cats loved staying with Connie! She stayed in constant contact with us and was great in sending updates and photos of the girls playing. We felt assured that they were settling in well when they started cuddling up to her; this speaks strongly about her caretaking. We would absolutely book again with Connie!
