“Destinee was so great with my Annie. She sent loads of pictures and updates. They have all the fixings that your pup would need when spending the night! I’ll definitely be coming back with Annie when I need a sitter. Thanks for taking care of my girl!”
“This is our third time sending Murphy to Rachel and her family!! They always treat him like family and love on him so much! He’s always excited to go! She treats the pups like they are one of her own! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!!”
“This was Max's 3rd stay with Mary. We were able to leave the countryconfident that he would be well cared fo and loved-on in our absence Although we typically enjoy daily updates and pictures, we weren't concerned about being out of contact for 7 out of the 10 days we were on vacation. That wouldn't have been true with any other caregiver or kennel. Max always comes home exhausted from playing with his puppy pals, a sign that he had a great time on vacation. . ”

“We were very nervous about leaving our 4 month old puppy for the first time and we were new to Rover. Brook made both Auggie and us feel very comfortable. Auggie instantly loved Brook and was happy to stay. Auggie had a terrific time with both Lucy and Baxter. Can't say enough good things about leaving him with Brook. We received pictures and videos which helped us feel he was safe and having a good time. I would definitely book with Brook again a thousand times better than any kennel!”
“Julie was wonderful! She was so good with our mini goldendoodle Molly. We got frequent updates and photos to show us that all was going well. It helped us to have a fun and relaxing trip to know that Molly was being taken care of so well by her. Her home and fenced yard are very nice, and she followed our directions well about Molly's care. She is very pleasant. We will contact her again for dogsitting. A+ job! Thanks, Julie!”
