“Jaclyn took great care of our 7mth old puppy while we were away. It was our first time leaving him so we were a little nervous, but receiving updates and pictures was reassuring. It was a last minute booking so we were was so glad she was flexible and able to accommodate us for boarding.”
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Tina to take care of my dog, Leo. I cannot recommend Tina highly enough - they truly went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy, healthy, and well-cared for while I was away. Overall, my experience with Tina was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and compassionate pet-sitter. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my dog - we both appreciate it more than words can say”
“Charlie was wonderful as always. I never worry about my pup when she stays with him. Shes very much a baby, and im grateful he takes such good care of her! Whenever I say, do you want to go to Charlie's? She runs to the car. I feel relieved that she is so comfortable with him and that he takes such great care of her.”
“Very Happy with the care my Timber received with Ashley. Ashley sent lots of pictures and had a nice yard for dogs to play. I would definitely recommend Ashley!!!!!!”
“Jeannie and Robert were fantastic caretakers for our dog. They showed us a video of their home, so we could see where he would stay, and answered any and all questions. During our dog’s stay, they sent sweet photos and videos, just enough so we’d know he was doing ok and could enjoy our holiday vacation. They took care of another dog during that time, and they were very careful introducing the two and making sure they got along. Ours was happy to have a four-legged companions as well as his human caretakers to keep him from feeling lonely. They even sent our pup home with holiday gifts. He came home happy, clean and calm. We hope he gets to visit them again and highly recommend their services. Thanks Rover and Jeanie and Robert!”
“Emily was fantastic! She took the best care of Maya and Millie while we were on vacation. I told her upon meeting that I didn't need daily updates or photos, but to contact me if any issues came up. She gave perfect feedback, and I felt very confident that my dogs were having the best time on her expansive property. I would definitely book Emily again and I highly recommend her!”
“Dakota had an amazing time and was loved there as much as he is at home. We are so comfortable leaving him there because he gets lots of attention and care, and a ton of outside time…he truly is part of their family. I got tons of photos from Kelli throughout the week and never had to worry about him because she is so loving and knowledgeable. It was almost like he got to go to his own camp while we were on vacation. We are so very happy with our first experience with Dakota staying with Kelli and we will definitely take Dakota there again! (I think Dakota will miss Kelli and her family…). So grateful that our fur baby was safe, got so much love, and had such a fun time while we were on vacation!”
“Our dog Mia had the BEST time with Ruth while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures every day and spoiled her! She had puppy ice cream, walks every day, and came home so happy. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We will definitely return!”
“This was our first Rover experience, and if I could leave 6 stars I would!!! Jesse and her family took our sweet girl in and treated her like she was one of their own. We were sent frequent photos and updates which helped put our mind at ease. Thank you so much Jesse!!!”
“Emily was wonderful for my dear sweet Maggie girl. She sent me daily feedback on how she was doing as well as pictures. It made being away from my furry baby much easier.”
“Sarah was wonderful about sending pictures and updates every day! She took great care of our little one and our puppy seemed very happy there. Thank you so much, Sarah, for treating her like family and taking great care of her. Will definitely book again!”
“Kelly was absolutely amazing ! She took care of Mamgo as though it was one of her own fur babies. Always sending updates and pics. You could tell she made him feel at home ! We will definitely be calling her again to watch over our sweet boy. Thanks Kelly !”
“I feel that words are far too limited to express the help and support we received from Ellen during such a difficult time! I had to travel to another continent and left my cat at the Kittie Room in Ellen’s home, and out of the blue, he needed emergency eye surgery. Ellen was constantly present through it all—strong, incredibly supportive, and providing post-surgery care filled with love, dedication, and countless medications like I had never seen before. I thank God every single day that when all this happened, my cat was with Ellen. In such a hard moment, Ellen, you were a true beacon for my family, and I will never forget it. You are a living miracle, moving seamlessly between the world of animals and the world of humans, with pure love and success in both. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!”
“Renee was very easy to work with! My dog seemed to enjoy her time with Renee. Renee was flexible, kind, and easy to talk to. We will definitely book with her again!!!”

“My pups really enjoyed their stay with Melissa. They got to hang out with Melissa’s kids and hang out in her fenced in yard. They were the only pups at Melissa’s house which was very good for Moxie. Melissa was also able to administer Tico’s medications with out a problem. We will definitely be reaching out to Melissa for another stay in the future.”
“Kristine and her family were wonderful with our two dogs! They treated them like their own and our dogs seemed so happy and comfortable in their home, with their kids and their dog. I loved getting updates/pics of them and communication was great. we will definitely book again!”
