“Desiree did amazing job with my little Buddy when I was away. He had some appetite changes, and Desiree was patient with him and made sure he was able to eat. He is well rested and content after his stay. I appreciate how caring and kind Desiree is with my little pup. 😊😊😊”


4. Jessica F.


“It was our first time using Rover and Jessica F.'s stay for our Bori (15lbs, Cavapoo). She not only sent photos and videos several times a day throughout the stay but also took very good care of our dog. We were worried that Bori wouldn't want to come home after the wonderful experience with her and her family. The fenced backyard she has is very good (Bori played a lot in the sun and the yard) and she has a separate stay area for the dogs. I will definitely ask her again for her help in the future! Thank you!”


5. Diana & Harish E.

“If I could I would give Diana and Harish more stars. I first booked them for a whole week but decided- last minute -to book them for a night to get our dog use to their place and they accommodated us right away. The meet and great was great, they showed us their place and our dog loved their backyard, it has plenty of space for his favorite game: fetch 🎾 They are friendly and profesional. They sent pictures, videos and updates. We will keep booking with them! Thank you 🫶🏼”
