“Eric is the best! I recently had a sitter cancel 6 hours before drop-off -- I thought my vacation was ruined! I immediately put out a Sunday morning last-minute Rover requests for a sitter, with very low expectations that anyone would even respond, much less accept. Within a few minutes, Eric responded and then accepted. He totally saved my vacation! After that, he was extremely communicative, but even better, he was perfect for my highly energetic doggo. He gave long dauly walks and play sessions. I knew that my dog would love having his Bucky as a 24/7 playmate, but I was very concerned that he has cats, since Sheba had never seen a cat before. Since she has a high prey drive, I thought there could be serious problems. Eric, however, seems to have a natural understanding of pets, and he was able to safely introduce Sheba to his cats, and apparently there were no issues. Also, Eric was highly flexible when my return flight was delayed by a day, and quickly agreed to extend the stay. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from start to finish.”

“Kendra was great! This was Yasha’s second time staying with her in less than a month. Goes to show how reliable she is and how comfortable she makes you feel, leaving your fur baby with her. She truly cares. I appreciate all the photo’s and updates as well. It’s good to know my baby is having a good time while I am vacationing. No more guilt! lol”

“Matt’s place is my girls favorite place! They get the backyard, the cozy home, and all the friends they could hope for!! They don’t want to come home! Thanks for taking such great care of my crazy girls!”

“Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.”


“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”

“Donetta is the absolute best! She provided regular updates with photos over the course of my pup’s stay. She creates an environment that made my pup feel right at home. I could tell that Fiona had a great time because she came home completely exhausted. Donetta was also flexible when I needed to extend the reservation and additional night. Thank you so much. Highly recommend! Will definitely book again!”


“Ayme was great. She came highly recommended and for good reason. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her and knew he was in good hands. She was responsive and sent photos of our dog throughout the weekend. Would recommend!”

“Great experience with Amy keeping our small dog. Lots of photos and updates provided during our dogs stay in her home. Would use again. Thankful our dog was well cared for!”

“I cannot recommend Raven highly enough! She was absolutely phenomenal. This was my first time leaving my dog, Pepper, with her, and she made both of us feel incredibly welcome from our initial meet-and-greet. Throughout my trip, she kept me updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Pepper was happy, having fun, and making new friends. Raven also provided transportation services to deliver Pepper to one of my family members, and the entire experience was handled flawlessly and professionally. My mom is still talking about how kind she was and how exceptional her service was. I can't wait to book with Raven again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet like family!”

“Do not hesitate to book with Dylan and Alex! You will not regret it. It is such a blessing to find someone who will take care of your babies while you’re away. I knew that Lucy was in great hands and it gave me the peace of mind that I needed while I was away. Lucy had such a wonderful time and was completely exhausted from all of the play time. I am going to make Dylan and Alex my official boarding for all of my trips planned until December. Thank you gentlemen!”

“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”

“Highly recommend. Damacia took care of Teddy very well.. Teddy attached to her as a family member. She updated every day with his picture. Thanks Damacia 🥰”

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”

“Carolina was amazing! She just watched my dog for the first time over a long weekend. I usually am hesitant leaving her with new people but she sent me plenty of updates right away and continued them throughout the stay. She walked them a ton, took them to run in a little park and gave Hazy even a nail trim because he nail was getting caught. I have nothing but good things to say and will be booking again for sure!”


“Hilary and her family took great care of our pup for a 10 day stay while my husband and I were traveling. We received daily pictures and messages, so we knew how our pup was doing. We will definitely book again!”


“First time having my dog watched by Zach he did everything I asked of him and more and on top of that was extremely friendly and kind! My dog had an accident or two didn't, cause a issue about it while I was for business I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with him”

“Sherri is very caring and honest. I was happy that Maggie was in good hands for 1 1/2 days. Highly recommended. She has a heart of an angel. I am disappointed that she is moving to another state.”

“Jesse has done a wonderful job taking care of my 7 year old Samoyed! He provides good photo updates, his dogs are friendly, and drop-off/pick-up is always easy. I would highly recommend, and look forward to using his services again in the future.”

“Dawn was fantastic! She was very responsive and accommodating to our moving schedule. Sent lots of updates and photos. Jackson came home happy and enjoyed his stay.”

Triston watched over our two dogs while we went on vacation for a week and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience we had! Triston has a genuine compassion towards animals that we immediately felt when meeting him. He preferred knowing daily habits and schedules which we really appreciated. We will definitely be reaching back out to Triston again in the future!

Raye is a dog whisperer! She was a wonderful caretaker for our elderly companion. Our dog rarely switches his scenery up outside of our home so it was comforting seeing him adjust so easily with Raye - who ensured his safety and comforbitjty including a few extra needs of his because of his age. We received daily updates and was able to enjoy our time away while our dog enjoyed new friends at Rayes house. We give doggy adventures above 5 stars and will be back again. Thank you!
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, I felt completely confident that my dog was in loving and capable hands. Tiffany provided excellent care, attention, and affection, and it was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was reliable, responsible, communicative, and attentive to every detail. I especially appreciated the updates and knowing that my dog was being treated like family while I was away. Her genuine love for animals really showed. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust completely with their beloved pet. I will definitely use her again! 🐾❤️ Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby!

Ashley was able to accommodate my flight schedule, which included two extra overnights so I could drop off and pick up Ludlow without rushing to/from the airport. Luds is older now and has vision issues, but Ashley made sure he was comfortable, and he adapted well to her place. I appreciated that it was a calm space for him, and she was home most of the time. Ashley responded to messages quickly, and sent me some cute pictures.

Stacey took care of my two senior dogs while I was away for two weeks studying abroad. She is very kind and thoughtful. She sent updates on a regular basis to myself and my mom. I love her process for acclimating new dogs to her home. Our first meeting was in the park where my dogs met her sweet dog. My dogs aren’t usually friendly with other dogs but they all got along very well at the first meeting. Their second visit was doggy daycare, that went well too. By the time my trip came around, my dogs were familiar with her. I highly recommend this process if you are boarding with her for a longer period of time. She has a clean home. Her backyard and front yard are completely fenced and secure. I’m sure my dogs felt like they were on vacation as well. I will hire Stacey in the future for all my boarding needs. I highly recommend her. Thank you for taking care of Foxy and Bandit.

Noel was amazing to work with! She responded quickly after a rover cancelled. We got a quick meet in and greet in and it was perfect! Her home has a nice back yard and her and her boyfriend provided so much love and attention! Great people and a beautiful home, can’t recommend enough.
