“Sarah was fantastic with our high energy dogs & we highly recommend her! She was very easy to communicate with and willing to accommodate our special needs by giving meds while we were away. Our dogs were very happy when we returned and could tell they received a lot of attention while we were gone. We highly recommend her if you're looking for quality care for your pets while away. We're so glad we found Sarah & will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Our two dogs looked so happy in each photo Rachelle sent. She was quick to answer questions and was very accommodating. My husband and I would definitely utilize her again in the future. To have a sitter we can trust means the world!”
“Jenna took great care of our pups and was very easy to communicate with. Sent us pictures of our boys and gave us progress updates. Our dogs loved it there would use her again!”
“First time using Rover, and it was a great experience! Shannon is quick to respond and easy to work with. She gave updates and I could tell my pup had fun! Very convenient service. Will use again!”
“Lucy was great! Excellent communication both before and during our dog’s stay. We highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay in St. Louis.”
“Reggie stayed with Erica for 10 days while we were in Europe. She is wonderful, thoughtful, and clearly a dog-lover! She kept us updated with pictures and videos (via Instagram), which was great. During our time away, Reggie looked like his happy, playful little self. He was clearly in good hands. I highly recommend Erica.”
“Amy and her husband (and their dogs) were all wonderful. Penny fit in just fine. They had a meet and greet before her first overnight stay and everyone got along famously. I will definitely use Amy again!”
“I know it has been a awhile since I have used Ginger’s services to care for my dog. But she was so excellent the two times she watched Kane while I was out of town. The last time was very exceptional because Kane had created an accident Al over himself and Ginger was so patient and understanding. She washed him outside and sent me pictures of it and she was humorous about it all. Kane has a lot of separation anxiety and I have found the perfect match with Ginger to understand and care for his needs.”
“Great stay with Samantha and Zach! They were flexible , kept up with updates especially this stay being a first for marvel with the family. Samantha kept my mind at peace with updates of how he was doing and it ended up being a successful stay for all. Loved the updates of him playing with the kids and doing all the tricks. Marvel came home happy and tired.”
“Kelly was wonderful! She watched my pup for a couple days so my family could go in a quick trip. She was very accommodating and kind! We will definitely have her watch our pup again if we ever need someone!”
“Was very attentive to Milo needs. Sent numerous texts and videos to us during our time away, which made my wife very happy!! Would definitely rebook for our next trip!”
“Starr is absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of our baby! Sent a lot of pictures. You can tell she truly loves animals. We will use Starr whenever we travel. We highly recommend Starr, you won’t be disappointed.”
“Melissa was amazing to my two dogs! It was my first time using Rover, and she couldn’t have been a better fit. The dogs came home happy and sleepy! I will absolutely use them in the future. And I’ll have peace of mind knowing they are in such wonderful hands!”
“Absolutely attent8ve and kind to our Luna. She definitely takes the time to care for the animals as if they were her own. Her dogs are great at befriending those being boarded. I highly recommend Danielle!”
“Simone was great with our pup! This was the longest we've ever left him so I was a little worried about how he'd react. She made him comfortable and he always seemed happy if every picture/video. She was always responsive, sent updates to ease my mind, and provided a safe and clean place for our furry family member. We will definitely book with Simone again and would recommend her to anyone in the area.”
“Our Lili had the best time with Matthew! We got daily updates and “glamour shots”. It was a huge relief to know she was well cared for while we traveled. Booked again for Christmas!!”
“Best experience ever! I would recommend Jessica over and over to any and all! As a military family it is hard to find someone to trust with your furry family members but our pup had the best life with cuddles and treats the whole time. He was cared for like he was one of her own.”
“Great Experience. Cortnie sent updates along with pictures and videos while they watched our dog Winston. We also did a meet and greet a few days before to make sure Winston would get along with their dogs. We just did the one night but will definitely be reaching out again in the future.”
