2. Mckenzie D.
“McKenzie and Ryan were great to work with, very understanding of my nerves leaving my baby. They sent pictures and updates and were great communicators. They also were very flexible when our pickup got delayed. We would definitely use them again and Theo had a instant friend with their dog, Bonnet 🙂”
3. Nancy E.
“Nancy was great. I was that "nervous" mom dog, that would worry myself. Never did I worry or think to call and check on them. She did a good job keeping us in updated with the girls. I was so excited to pick them up. Thankful the stay went well.”
4. Stephen & Angela N.
“Stephen and Angela were fantastic again! We felt comfortable knowing our elderly dog was in great hands even while we were outside the country. Our dog came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely book with them again for our future needs!”
5. Angela A.
“I previously had boarded my dog before trying rover, and I will never go back. Angela was AMAZING! She took and shared lots of photos and updates while we were on vacation. Bruno loved playing with her dogs and kids, too! I would recommend her to anyone!”

8. Sharon D.
“Sharon is absolutely amazing! My boy is a very anxious boy and has severe separation anxiety. Sharon had him so comfortable and settled almost immediately. I am so grateful to her for the care and love she gave Salem while I was out of the country for two weeks. Sharon provided me multiple daily updates complete with adorable videos of Salem. Her dog, Wes, was the perfect buddy for Salem too! Her fenced-in yard is fantastic for doggies to sniff and play in. I was so nervous to leave my boy for so long, but having Sharon as his sitter truly made all my worries disappear. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding when I had a flight delay. I cannot recommend Sharon (and Wesley!) enough!!”
9. Tina D.
“Tina and her husband took excellent care of my two dogs. They went above and beyond to work with our drop off and pick up schedules. Tina sent pictures each day so we could see how our dogs were getting along. I would absolutely leave my dogs with her again. She has a deep love for all dogs and it shows in the way she cares for them.”
10. Gabrielle M.
“Cannot say enough great things! Millie was taken excellent care of and enjoyed being there. I receive many pictures and videos and was comfortable my pup was in good hands, I will definitely be booking with Gabrielle again!”
11. Scott & Melissa W.
“Scott and Melissa are fantastic!! It was the first dog sitting experience where Rudy actually didn’t seem to want to leave. They treated him like one of their own …he enjoyed playing and running around with their 2 very friendly dogs. I love their property and it’s on a dead end street. They just built a really nice fenced in area as well. Excellent communication along with photos during my entire trip. Gave me a huge peace of mind that my baby was being well taken care of and getting lots of love. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
12. Heather H.
“Wow, I’m speechless just how amazing this experience was not only as a human, but my puppy was happy and clean when I came back. Heather is truly an angel and I can’t speak to what a blessing she was for us to leave our fur baby! 10 stars! Can’t thank her enough.”
13. Courtney E.
“Courtney and her crew are Beckleys vacation family 😍 they are such a blessing to us and the sweetest family ever! They care for our pup and make her feel like she’s at home. The photos and easy communication make the experience above and beyond!”
14. Ebony C.
“Our dog seemed so happy with Ebony! Ebony kept us updated and was super responsive. She was incredibly helpful in watching Cutie last-minute during a family emergency.”
15. Beth M.
“Beth is excellent with my dog Deuce. So well cared for. He doesn't even act like he missed me. And her 4 year old son is a great help also! That is a total difference compared to leaving him at a high price dog hotel. Highly recommend her!”
16. Lauren & Joseph G.
“I had such a great experience with Lauren and Joseph, they went above and beyond my expectations. I decided to book last minute and they were more than willing to help. I was nervous at first leaving Lucy with strangers cause he’s never stayed overnight anywhere with someone he didn’t know. Lauren sent me a couple photos 30 minutes after I left showing that Lucy was fitting right in, with then having a pool cause Lucy loves to swim. That was the trick to making him comfortable right away. Thanks so much again”
17. Mary H.
“Mary was a great host for our kittens! She sent pictures and updates daily. Never worried about the Little’s while we were on vacation! Would definitely use her again.”
18. Carla F.
“Carla was flexible and has gone above and beyond as we have had two trips with significant travel changes. Our Collie, Sadie, came home very clean and happy. Carla is very proactive in communicating and she definitely loves dogs. Carla is our #1 choice for watching Sadie.”
19. Suzanne & Mckay J.
“We had a great experience with Suzanne watching our dog. I felt like she took care of our dog like it was her own. Would recommend her and use her again.”
