“Very nice couple. Great atmosphere for our dog to feel safe and actually have fun. I appreciate it so much. The pics and updates were a blessing. I’m sure I’ll contact them the next time I need to board my dog. Thank you!”

“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”

“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Emily was great. I set up the stay about 2 months out because I wasn't sure how the Thanksgiving would effect finding a place for Lucy. Emily was super and answered so many questions for me. Lucy also had a great time playing with Emily's other dogs. ”

“Emily and her family took excellent care of Greyson. He was treated like family and enjoyed the extra large fenced yard with two other dogs of his size. Fabulous pictures and just a great experience all the way around. We will be a returning customer for sure. Thank you”

“Alexandria was really wonderful with my dog Henry! She was great at communicating both before and during my dog's stay. Henry seemed to have a great time and got along well with her sweet dogs!”

“Dajon was great! He was able to watch my pup very last minute for a couple days. He sent pics and videos every day and made sure my pup was comfortable! I will definitely use him again in the future!”

“Could not rave about Elizabeth more!! She was amazing and my dog loved her!! I’m nervous leaving my dog anywhere, but she really put my mind at ease and was so understanding. Will definitely be booking with her in the future!! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!”


“I love her, Hayley loves her. She would send me pictures and videos to update me on my fur baby. I was so worried about leaving her alone with someone new and the updates really helped. I will be booking Ms. Tamisha again.”


“Michael is an incredibly compassionate sitter. Grady absolutely loved being at his house and was actually sad to leave. He whined and looked at out the window as we pulled away, so I know he had a great time. Michael went out of his way to keep Grady last minute when my sitter bailed on me. In addition to that he just showered by fur-baby with love the entire time and kept me up to date with pictures and messages. Highly recommended!”


“Yet again, Dawn has been just wonderful with our blind, senior dog. We’ve never had any issues over the several times we’ve booked Dawn, and will always recommend her! See you soon, Dawn!”

“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”


“We LOVE Karen. I have never left my baby with anyone else but our former groomer. She made my day sending pictures and a video. My baby came home the happiest I have ever seen her come home when we have been away. No anxiety, no issues, just happy We will be using her again in the future. Thank you Karen and to your family as well for welcoming my baby into your home and for taking such good care of her. God Bless you!!”

“Sasha is the absolute best!!! I truly don’t know what we would do without her! She is always so willing to help and goes above always goes above and beyond!! Bella has had so many amazing adventures with her- it is hard to get her to leave Sasha when it’s time to go home!!!”

“Alyissia was great! Winry was happy and tired when I picked her up which is great for us after a busy weekend away! We plan to use them again in the future 🥰 Thank you!”

“My dog had so much fun that he was quite sad to be leaving. He played very well with both of Emily’s dogs, and had plenty of space to run around and get out his energy. We will definitely be rebooking :)”

“So grateful to Cody for watching our Merle!! She was fantastic, sending pictures and making sure he got plenty of playtime outdoors for his entire stay! Cannot recommend her enough!?”
