“Brent was a great sitter for our 1 year old golden retriever, Hank. He was easy to work with and flexible when we changed our pick up date. He was communicative and sent frequent updates/pictures while we were gone. Hank had a blast playing with his dogs!”
“Julie did a great job taking care of Zhuni who, at almost 15, has slowed down considerably. She sleeps a lot and is a seriously picky eater. Juli kept in touch with updates on all of these issues as well as texting cute pictures. I appreciated that she has a securely fenced yard allowing Zhuni to hang out with her pups, and sniff and pee to her hearts content. Juli seems very professional, conscientious, caring and a true animal lover. She was recommended to me by a friend who raves about Juli. I will definitely let her care for my precious pup again.”
“Cheryl took such good care of Ruby! She was safe, comfy, and had little friends to play with. We will definitely bring her back! I’m so glad to have a happy, safe place close to home where she can go when we’re away!”
“Jeannine is awesome I asked her last minute for a boarding and she was able to accommodate my fur babies I’ll come back to her anytime! My fur babies love her”
“Our 10 month old Lab, Winter, had a good time with Kana and her dogs. Lana was great at sending photos and updates and adapted to a little more puppy energy than her house is used to. They are so close to us, reasonably priced , and a good place - so we will be back!!”
“Mariana and her family were so kind and accomodating for Sienna for my 3-day weekend. They took her for walks, fed her on her normal routine and always made sure she had her eye drops! I had to pick her up a bit later on a Sunday and they were just fine with that. I will be calling Mariana again when I'm out of town as I know Sienna will be so well taken care of!”
“Our dog Cooper had the best time with Bridget and David! He came home happy as can be and definitely well taken care of. Since Bridget and David are pet parents as well, they make sure to keep in good communication with you and send daily photos and updates. We are so appreciative that we were able to get away and leave our dog in safe hands! Thank you!”
“Heather (and her daughter;) ) gave so much love and care for Edmond and Harvey while I was away! The pics and little stories were such a treat to get while I was on a work trip missing them. They ate well, played, and slept very very soundly after I picked them up which always means they had a great time. Can’t thank you enough, Heather.”
“This was my first experience using this app. Naturally, I was very apprehensive about leaving my dog with a stranger. Romy, helped alleviate my tensions with her introductions and how well she got along with my dog immediately. She sent multiple pictures and videos daily. We stayed in contact the whole time I was gone. I felt at ease, and knew that I can trust her with my dog. I would highly recommend Romy, and would definitely utilize her again. I have already mentioned this app and Romy to several friends and family.”
“Alyssa took good care of our Kona while we were away. Very responsive, good communication, flexible and loved the daily pictures. We will definitely use her again.”
“Gisella was amazing at responding to my last minute message to watch my Frenchy Mochi. She did an amazing job updating me throughout my shift his activities and with any questions she had. She also sent lovely photos. I would use Gisella again. 😊”
“I’m am SO grateful for Loc. I’m an anxious dog mom and he was so welcoming to me and my dog. Nala seemed to really love spending time with him! I’ll definitely be using his services again. Thanks so much, Loc!!”
“Sarah and James (and Laszlo!) were amazing. I recently had a negative experience with Rover and was extremely nervous about having someone new watch Romeo - but it has been a wonderful experience! Romeo settled so quickly (he can be a nervous little guy) and it’s so reassuring to be able to go to work and know that he’s safe and happy. Thank you again for being so welcoming to Romeo - I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next stay!”
“Our experience with Kimberly was excellent! She took great care of my Ellie. She sent me photos daily and even gave her a bath on pickup day. I will definitely book with her again!”
“While this is listed as an individual "stay" it actually was a last minute request for Maddux to stay with Jennifer one more day, at the end of my vacation, after my plane from Germany was delayed, and I missed my connecting flight from Atlanta. How wonderful it was to be able to contact Jennifer from Germany in this emergency situation and ask if Maddux could stay one more night. Wonderful communication, and wonderful sitter! Thank you Jennifer and family! ”
“My pup had a wonderful long weekend with Priscilla and her pups! Priscilla was communicative and supportive throughout Max's stay, and Max had a great time full of activity, socialization, and rest. He gets so excited to "go to daycare" because he loves spending time with them :)”
“Dana was wonderful. Sophie and Bodhi loved her. Bodhi is a special needs dog, visually impaired. She made a point to make sure that Bodhi was comfortable and was included with the group. Thank you Dana!”
“Rya is an extremely wise and inviting spirit of a woman and dog sitter, walker, and intuitive! If you want her to truly care with intellectual and openess to learn your dogs needs and properly give them a safe and relaxed, or fun depending on your dogs needs, she is Amazing! She worked with me getting my crate in her proposed place for my dog Chili. She was creative with her approach with Chili and he was safe and cared for boarding over night. Not only this, she worked with my late night schedule change for work. Meet and greet was utterly lovely and an enjoyable experience. She walked him, as well. Her communication with me how he was doing getting settled was so very much appreciated through texts and pictures of any changes she made caring for him. I had arrived early next morning, earlier than the end pick up time. My Bluetooth speaker lost charge and my alarm didn't sound into my bt. She had him longer than expected as I napped to consider her sleep being there earlier than pick up time. I recieved Chili and his crate and we departed, as she tended to her day. Mind you she worked her schedule around for both of us and I very much appreciated her willingness and her care for my Chili. I Highly recommend Rya for your dog care needs. I'd leave 20 stars if I could. Thank you so very much, Rya and rover.com. I have to leave her a tip and give her this more than deserving review. She exceeded my expectations and she will for your and your fur babies. Thousand thanks, Rya.”
“Liz was WONDERFUL! Our boy Maxx is 12 and a real dog of comfort. Liz sent us daily photos and comments, and Maxx looked like he fit right in in her home with the other dogs. Daily trips to the off-leash dog park were a big hit. Her home had that “dog home” feel to it, and we were quite comfortable leaving our boy there for three days.”
“Fast and easy communication from initial meet and greet to scheduling the boarding stay. Lily our senior pup has many "particulars" that did not scare Chris from accepting her into his home. Chris has a bright and air conditioned pet space which opens into a yard (no steps) that Lily thoroughly enjoyed. Chris was especially attentive to Lily's needs during the 4th fireworks. Thank you! Thank you for all the updates and pics during Lily's stay! I'm glad she made friends with Petey and Finn too!”
