Matt took great care of our pups, properly spoiling them for us like we would and kept us updated with great pics. We never worried and were happy the pups had as great a vacation as we did. Top notch!!

Blythe is a great sitter! She took the time for a meet-up before my trip and made sure to get an idea of Ludlow's preferences. Her place is thoughtfully set up for a dog's comfort. I was a bit frazzled when I dropped Ludlow off because I did something dumb that made me late for my flight, so I appreciated that Blythe was calm, reassuring, and quickly got Ludlow settled as I raced out the door. She sent a lot of pictures and updates, and I know Ludlow had a great time with her.

Raye is amazing! I left my two dogs in her care while I was on vacation for an entire week. This was my first time having her as a dog sitter and my first time having the dogs in somebody else’s home while I was away for a while. She provided them with such great care while I was gone and they were so comfortable, which says a lot since one of my dogs is more anxious and timid. But she took great care of them and made them feel right at home: she took them on lots of walks, they got to enjoy her yard, and they got to spend so much quality time with her and her dog Ollie. She had great communication - she sent me lots of updates and pictures daily, so I knew the dogs were doing well while I was gone. It’s never easy leaving my dogs for a long period of time, but she made the experience so much better. I will definitely use her again in the future and would recommend her to anybody else.

I could not be happier with my experience boarding my pup Honey with Jordan! Honey didn’t have a good experience in a bigger boarding facility, and she had to be boarded twice this week. SO glad I found Jordan and went through Rover. Jordan is a sweetheart, and you can tell she really loves animals. She sent so many sweet pics and updates that made me beyond comfortable. Honey also had an ear/eye infection and I could tell she properly administered all her meds because she’s healed up so nicely. So happy. Don’t hesitate to book with Jordan— I feel like I can actually enjoy this upcoming vacation I have because I know she’ll be taken care of and loved! ❤️

I've known Laurie for several years now and she is one of the sweetest humans I know! Laurie watches my girl Callie May often and she is so good with her! She takes her on long walks and spends a lot of quality time with her. I always know she's in very good hands when I leave her with Laurie!

Lindsey was great. I'd characterize her as a pro. She knows what's needed, asks good questions, and is flexible. She didn't shy at the cats being both indoor and outdoor cats. She took Lucy the dog with her on long walks, and to a family gathering which Lucy thrives on, she spent the night which all three animals need. She sent lots of pictures and our texting back and forth was clear and helpful. I'd say the price was steep but it's all a matter of what you're used to. She's very good.
