“They treated my Bella girl like family and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for her to go while we were out of town! 10/10 highly recommend! They sent photos and gave us updates and I’m so grateful to have found Meaghan and Johnny!!”

“Steven welcomed our two sister mini-dachshunds into his house for a week while my family went on vacation. As these are senior dogs (15+), they do have some special needs, but Steven handled both with care and attention while sending us daily updates with pictures. We are so grateful for Steven and his family for the care they gave to our babies.”

“This was Oscar’s first overnight without us. He was with Kristin and her family for 2 nights. He was a bit anxious, but got better the 2nd night. Kristin took good care of him and tried to keep things as close as possible to his normal routine. We definitely recommend Kristin and will be using her again.”

“My dogs had a great time. I was updated as much as I needed. My dogs were so tired when they got home. Plan to use them again on the future! 10 out of 10 I recommend!”

“Donna is absolutely the best dog sitter ever! Lucy loves her, Will and her doggie family. When I take her there, I am always confident that she’s getting the best care.”

“Shume was fantastic! We had never used Rover before, but all of our usual dog watchers were unable to accommodate a last minute trip we needed to take. We found Shume on Rover and she was able to accommodate us. She was very communicative and responsive. Our dog loved her, and seemed very comfortable with her. When we picked her up, she was healthy, happy, and safe! We highly recommend Shume to care for your fur babies.”

“My Piper had a great time with Diane and her fur babies. She has an overall very pet-friendly house/backyard/neighborhood. She treated my fur baby just like her own, and we’ll definitely come back to her in the future.”

“We were so pleased with our first boarding experience with Kira! She is very communicative and sent pictures of our dog during her stay. We will definitely be rebooking with her!”

“We love Brett and Christian so much! Raina always has the best time and is so well cared for. He was super responsive when we got in a pinch during our trip & very flexible. We very highly recommend!!”

“Laura is a rockstar! She was so kind with our Cali, sent daily updates and responded promptly. You can 100% trust that when you leave your pet with her, she will take the greatest care. Would give 6/5!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”

“Kelly took such great care of our little girl over the weekend. She sent plenty of pics. Abby looked happy and comfortable in spite of her separation anxiety. Thank you, Kellly!”

“Dalis was wonderful! Our trip was unexpectedly delayed by two days and Dalis was very accommodating. It was so great not having to stress about our dog being well taken care of as we scrambled to get home.”

“Amber was a great dog sitter. She sent pictures and updates of Wrigley everyday and he came home happy and smelling fresh. I know he had a great time with Amber and loved playing with her dogs. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Haley was so accommodating to our dog. She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. It was our dogs first time getting boarded so I was a little nervous , but my anxiety went away with Haley.”


“I've left my baby Mojo at his vet for boarding and with family always needed some meds to get him through not with Melanie wonderful videos and pics to prove it Mojo and Stella played so well together Melanie did so much for us I will be using her for all my times away Thank you Melanie and Stella”

“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
