1. Renee T.
“This is the first time, I have used the Rover app and I was a little nervous as I have only boarded my dog at a facility. However, given that I can no longer do that because he is not fixed, I decided to give it a try and I was not disappointed! Renee was amazing to work with! She kept me updated on his well being with photos and I was happy the my dog was loving staying with her and her family. I cannot be more grateful and will continue to book with her on future stays! Thank you so much Renee for taking such good care of Leo!!!”
2. Jill S.
“It’s was a great experience. I had to leave out of town at last minute and they were able to review and accept my dog. I was worried a bit when I left but I was reassured minutes later when they sent me a picture of my dog just relaxing. They sent pictures throughout the day which was a great relief. Left her over night and they sent me pictures of her sleeping like a baby. All in all I believe they treated my fur baby with love and care.”

“Sidney is AWESOME! Two sitters cancelled on me at the last minute and I had an early flight to catch in the morning and Sidney swooped in to save the day.
