“This is Doris's 4th stay with Miss Kathy and it sure won't be the last! We love Kathy so much! Doris has the best time, gets to sleep on the big bed and even got to dress up for Halloween. It's so nice for her to get some play time with their dog Mollie and any others that may be there at the same time since she's an 'only dog'. i would highly recommend Kathy over and over again!”
“This is the second time we have used Lisa and her family to watch our dog, Suki, while we vacationed. This was for 7 days and she and her family were awesome. Suki appeared to have had a great time and was well cared for while we were away. I would not hesitate to use Lisa again in the future. Thank you Lisa and family for taking great care of our 'fur-baby'!”
“Marley and her husband are AMAZING !! The care for our 1 1/2 Pomeranians was the best . They send us pics every morning videos at least twice during the day . It made it so calming to see them happy , playing with Marley’s Doodles. We really did not worried after the 1st day we left them . Thank you guys !! We will definitely use you guys again !!!!??????”
“Carrie boarded my dog for 5 days. Carrie walked, played, sent pictures and took good care of her. When I picked my dog up, she was energetic, happy and glad to see me. I was very pleased with how Carrie took care of my dog, highly recommend her and would hire her again.”
“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”
“My family and I travel a lot and this particular weekend I had no idea what I was going to do with my dog. I was referred to Erin and she is absolutely GREAT. She gives updates thru the stay and she will even send pictures. I highly recommend Erin 5 stars all the way!!!!”
“Linda did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs. I’ve never boarded them before and am I happy I tried it. Nice to know that they are not alone and get loved on just as if they were at home. She sent pictures and video to show that they were doing great. I plan on using Linda everytime we need a sitter.”
“Jennifer helped my dog with her anxiety so much! I really appreciate her expertise and care. She truly went above and beyond. Thank you Jennifer for your help and for loving on our pup! She will be back to stay again soon!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”
“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”
“Marybeth and Russ did a great job with our Nelson. They are very professional, making sure to take notes regarding Nelson's needs, etc., during our initial meeting. They kept me updated during Nelson's short stay with texts. Nelson was well cared for. A real plus is their fenced in back yard. I know they gave Nelson lots of love and attention while he was there. I look forward to using them again for a longer stay in a couple of weeks.”
“Thank you to Ray and his son for watching our dog over Thanksgiving. We really appreciated the daily updates especially for our dog who can be very anxious. They even got her a couple new toys to play with.”
“I was skeptical at first after seeing the cage our dog, Fiona, would be housed in. However, seeing the large yard made me feel better as she is your and full of energy and loves to run. Marcella took good care of Fiona based on the pictures and videos sent daily during her stay. Also, Fiona was clean and happy when we picked er up. If we travel without our dog in the future, Marcela will be our go-to,”
“First time that I left my dog for 3 days and it was an amazing experience. My dog likes it so much. Evelyn is a great dog sitter and she loves dogs. Text me every day to let me know how my dog is doing with pictures and I recommend her 100%. Thank you again Evelyn. You are awesome.”
“Julia was a wonderful host for our dog, Cuzco. She kept us in the loop at all times with wonderful pictures and videos of our dog; it felt like we were never apart from him! She also loved on Cuzco like she does to her very own dog, CJ, giving him treats, bringing him on nice walks, and even letting him snuggle on the bed with them once or twice. We recommend Julia without any hesitation! :)”
“We left our shy dog with viktoryia for 3 weeks when we were out of the country. My dog is a rescue and while a sweet girl, she only likes one person - me. She did very well because Victoryia has a way with dogs. She sent some pictures and videos and I could tell my shy little dog felt right at home. Your dear dog will be in good hands at this lovely rover home.”
“My puppy Minako was really taken care of and loved her so I will definitely be using her again in the future. I was super happy on how short notice she was able to take him after some other plans had failed for me”
“Svetlana took very good care of my Golden Retriever puppy. It’s was over the 4th of July weekend and she was very patient and gentle with Macy and experiencing the noise for the first time. I would highly recommend her.”
