“Matt was great with our dog daisy! He sent frequent updates with lots of pictures - we could tell she was having so much fun! Will definitely book with him again.”


“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”


“Julie took such good care of my energetic girl Indi! She seemed to be right at home in all of the pictures and got some good run time in in their spacious backyard. Definitely will be booking again!”


“This was the first time that I used this service. It was the longest my dog has ever been separated from me and he was on a strict diet, so I was extremely selective in choosing a sitter. I appreciated the daily photos and I think my dog was able to adjust well since he is used to humans being with him most of the day. It appears that he learned to get along better with dogs while he was there. The hosts were patient, considerate, flexible and very good with dogs and their parents. I will definitely use them again when I am in the area.”


“Nicole was a great sitter! She provided daily updates and answered right away when I had any questions. My dog had a great time staying there. She was in good hands and would definitely book with Nicole again!”


“We were so grateful for Danielle & her crew! She took great care of our pup and she was amazingly flexible and responsive. Very kind and loving and a true dog lover. I highly recommend her. Zero complaints! Only good vibes!”


“Jeremy took care of my dog Parker while I was out of the country for a week. I felt Parker was in excellent hands and seemed happy and rested when I got back! Jeremy was super communicative leading up to Parker’s stay as well as during it sending lots of fun videos of their strolls around the neighborhood. Would definitely use Jeremy again!”


“Raye was absolutely great! She kept me informed about how he was doing, she sent photos, she was very accommodating and really created a nice environment for dogs to have fun and fellowship. I would definitely come back to her any day and recommend anyone for her service!”


“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”


“Alexandra boarded our 14 year old super senior pug and she did really well. She used to go to a large boarding facility and when she came home she was very out of sorts and unsettled. Diamond came right back home and settled right back in so it seems that she was happy while we were gone. Alexandra was super responsive and sent daily updates. Overall it was a great experience for us and apparently for her as well :)”


“Sarah was so kind and patient with my sweet boy! She took great care of him and gave him so much one on one attention. He came home so tired and happy! I’ll definitely use her next time I go out of town, and might even book for days where I know I’ll be working late! Everything was so easy and she was truly the most kind and accommodating person.”



“Cyndi was AMAZING! She loves dogs and you can see it. She’s very communicative and makes sure you are aware of how your pet is settling in and doing throughout the day.”



“Hilary was incredible with our pup, Indo! This was our first time using the rover service and our first time leaving Indo with someone who wasn’t family. She sent me updates and pictures on how Indo was doing and it really put us at ease knowing we left him with a sitter that really treats your pups like family! 10/10 would recommend Hilary and we will definitely be returning if we ever need her again in the future!”


“Thank you so much to Le’Quitta and her family for taking such great care of Boss ☺️ She kept me updated with pictures and communicated well. Will definitely be rebooking! We knew he had a good time when he slept the majority of the day when we got him home❤️ Thanks again!!!”



“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”



“Amanda was the greatest puppy sitter while we were out of town for a week. We looked forward to her texts with photos and videos every day. My 2 had a great time with her 2 ❤️ We will definitely have Amanda watch our babies again. Thank you!!”


“Amber was amazing! She took such great care of our old man and treated him like her own! She was quick to respond to all messages, and sent us updates without using asking. I can not recommend her enough; we had such a peace of mind leaving our dog with her!”


“Kristin was great! She was very communicative and sent lots of pics of Scooby! Drop off and pick up was also very easy and Kristin even packed a little treat for scooby when I picked him up. He had a great time, would recommend!”


“Kat was fantastic while watching our dog, Hope. She was very communicative and gave us updates while we were away. Kat was very kind to give Hope all the cuddles, which is top important business for this very demanding dog.”
