Lisa continues to be awesome with my dogs. She notices behavior and offers suggestions as well. Love getting all the updates and pics so I feel comfortable with her care. As far as location, being close to the airport is a huge bonus.

Alice is absolutely amazing ! As soon as we dropped Benji off, we felt like he was in the best hands! This was one of the first times we were away from him this long and Alice made us feel so at ease and reassured throughout the whole trip! I’ve found a permanent dog-sitter in Alice ! I highly recommend and appreciate you, Alice ! Thank you for everything !!

Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.

Justin was great to work with! He asked great questions at drop off to get to know our dog and care for him well. Would recommend him and use him again in the future! He was also transparent about other dogs he was boarding the same time ours was there.

Evan and his family took good care of Scout. He was happy, well-fed, and comfortable. I was a bit worried to leave him with a new sitter for a full week but my fears were unfounded. I will certainly have Evan take care of Scout in the future.

Ashley and Oziel did an amazing job watching my dog Maddox. It was my first time issuing rover and they made me super comfortable with it. They sent lots of updates and Maddox had a great time. Definitely will use them again!

Casandra was amazing. I was a first time customer and a bit uncertain how Rover worked. Casandra took the time to meet my dog and me in advance of my reservation to both answer my questions and allow my dog to acclimate to her overnight accommodations. Casandra took pictures of my dog playing and sent them to me daily - it totally put my mind at ease! I will definitely use Casandra again! Again, she was fantastic. Highly recommend her and her services!

So nice to know Copper had the comfort of a home and people to love on him while we were away! He has anxiety so having Chris & Erin around almost all the time was so wonderful for him.

This was my second time ever leaving Tucker somewhere, and Scott did an excellent job making sure he was cared for, played with, and happy! I picked Tucker up after a long day of driving and flying, and he too was absolutely exhausted from all the playing and running around! Highly recommend! Scott also made sure to update me 1-2 times a day which I really appreciated!

This was our first time ever leaving our pup with anyone and Heather made it the absolute BEST experience for us! She sent lots of pictures and updates of all their fun adventures and he was in the best mood when we picked him up and he even seems to be listening better after his stay! He definitely got his own little mini vacay with Heather and her family. I would 100% recommend Heather, and we can’t wait to schedule another play date!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

Jenevieve was a great sitter for our dogs. Leaving your little ones is very hard, but Jenevieve made everything so easy. I'll absolutely ask her again for our next trips and I highly recommend her great service. Thank you so much for watching Mila and Bruno.

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶

I cannot say enough good things about Jessica! She has been wonderful to work with. Carl absolutely loves her. He’s always so excited to hang out with Jessica and family. I have to travel a lot for work, and I have never felt uneasy leaving Carl with Jessica. I am forever thankful to have found such an awesome sitter and friend for Carl.
