“Jason was an awesome all around dog sitter! He took my puppy for a weekend of boarding on very short notice. He was very responsive and able to quickly get up to speed on my dog’s tendencies and needs. He frequently sent updates throughout the weekend and I could tell was very active and engaged, taking several trips to the dog park and providing treats and toys. His dog Timber was the perfect buddy for my pup to play with all weekend long. I’ll reach out to Jason again for boarding and would recommend to anyone in the area.”
“Jena was very sweet and friendly. I trust her with my crazy husky as she has a lot of experience with all kinds of dogs. I’m looking forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“Ming was absolutely wonderful. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Ming was responsive, provided daily pictures and videos and took great care of our pup. He was prompt, easy to work with and I couldn’t have asked for a better person. THANK YOU!!!”
“Tiffany and family were great with my old pup. They made him feel part of the family while we were gone and were responsive with communication. They were flexible with pick up time when our flight was delayed.”
“Where should we start...from start to finish...Max was an awesome sitter! Max went out of his way to meet us at a location for a meet and greet! We were able to meet his beautiful friendly dog...wow! We work out of town and our flight got delayed upon pick-up...Max assured us that he could work with this delay. Max sent us wonderful pictures of Ms Vella our pet and she was so well cared for. We will continue to use Max as he enjoys animals and is so happy we found a go-to sitter! Dr. J”
“Chicago had a great time, he’ll definitely be staying with Michaela again. We love that she stayed in contact and we got to see pictures of him while we were away.”
“Steve was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They had a great time with him at his home and enjoyed lots of walks, rubs, naps and exploring. Steve sent pictures to us a few times each day to show us how well they were doing. They came home happy and healthy. We'll absolutely be booking again.”
“Adela was great as always! She took great care of Ollie, sent frequent pictures, and was flexible when travel plans changed. We love knowing that our dog is in good hands when we are away!”
“She was so great with our shih-tzu! Our dog has a bit of anxiety when not with me (honestly, I do too!) but Anne was so patient and willing to work with her to make her comfortable. Highly recommend!”
“We are beyond grateful for Amanda’s care with Kenny. She treated him as if he was her own and you could see from the video and picture sent, he felt at home. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have asked for more.”
“Madison did great with Kinnick! He has a fear of hardwood and she put blankets down and made him feel right at home. He didn’t want to leave when I picked up. Highly recommend!!”
“If we could rate more than 5 stars we would! It’s stressful leaving your pets behind while you go on a trip, but we knew they were in good care with the daily updates and photos we received. We would recommend them to anyone looking for pet care. Thanks Sydney and Michael!”
“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”
“Nova had great time staying with Isaac and his family for a long weekend. He and his daughter were wonderful caretakers of Nova! We received updates and pictures throughout the day, which is always nice! They were incredibly accommodating with our changing schedule. They spoiled her with treats and walks. We will definitely be reaching out again next time we need someone!”
