“I met Michael and he's great. Very nice, responsive, helpful and flexible. I was super grateful to Michael for taking Moose last minute when plans fell through with another sitter. Got daily updates and picture of Moose having the BEST time ever. Moose enjoyed a huge property with a creek, other sweet dog friends to play with and AC which we don't have at home, what a luxury! Would absolutely recommend.”
“Riitta is the only one we trust to look after our precious pup when we're away. Even though we missed her, we knew she was getting the best care possible. While we're on vacation, our little one, Sophie, is also on vacation with her second family and new/old friends. Thank you, Riitta, Rudi, Benji, and Lucy for being a great friend to Sophie. We will see you again soon. :)”
“Victor took care of my 4-month-old Labrador puppy, Ginger, for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Ginger is still very young—she isn’t fully potty trained or fully trained in general—so caring for her is truly a full-time job. Victor showed incredible patience, kindness, and dedication throughout. Ginger even ripped some of his dog’s toys, and he never once complained. He handled every challenge with understanding and care, and Ginger was clearly happy and well looked after. I’m extremely thankful to Victor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Natalie is wonderful! As soon as we got there she made me and my girl comfortable. My dog is very perceptive with people and animals. If she isn’t comfortable she won’t go near them. Immediately my dog was wagging her tail and happy to be there. Likewise, when we picked her up she was happy. While greeting us she kept going back to Natalie as well. I will definitely want my girl to stay with Natalie again. What a relief to find a loving compassionate caring home for my girl when we need one”
“I travel for work and have used a lot of Rovers around the country; Krystina is the best Rover I have ever had! She was very communicative and sent me plenty of photos and updates of my dogs. I really appreciated the flexibility of drop off/pick up times as well. Thank you Krystina for taking care of my babies!!”
“Jenny took care of our neighbor's dog Willow for us when we were taking care of it and had to leave unexpectedly for 3 days, the boarding experience went very well and she was very thoughtful and asked good questions prior to the boarding. Willow had a great time playing with her dog and when I came to pick her up Jenny had Willow's crate all packed up with her things and ready for me, which I really appreciated. Willow is a dog who can be anxious at times but it was obvious that she felt very comfortable with Jenny. We are pretty picky about who watches our pooches and are glad to have found someone in Gold Bar who we feel good about recommending or using for our own dogs.”
“Thanks a ton Margaret! The dogs really enjoy their stays and our family enjoys the fact that they are safe when we can’t take them with us. We can’t thank you enough! We highly recommend Margaret for Rover services!”
“Bethany and her family are wonderful! Our two dogs stayed with them for a week and enjoyed lots of walks and snuggles. Bethany was fast to share updates throughout our dogs' stay. We are happy to have found a loving family for our dogs to spend time with ❤️.”
“Todd and his family took excellent care of our Ozzie boy. They kept us updated on his eating schedule and took pictures of him having fun and being cozy. Made our hearts happy to see him in a good place while we took a mini vacation. We would definately recommend and refer and bring Ozzie back again:)”
“Dawn did a great job taking care of my dog, and she had a great time playing with her dog. Dawn, sent videos and pictures of the two dogs playing and sleeping. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed. I recommend her and will have my dog stay there again.”
“Julie had my pup Skye at her farm for 5 days. Skye had a great time and slept well. She was able to run around the farm pastures and rode bikes with Julie. I would def use her again in the future!”
“I exclusively use this sitter for my Blue Heeler Sasha. The open space and level of care provided are second to none, communication is seamless and we always have a great chat when dropping off or picking up. 5/5 will always use this Sitter.”
“We were very happy leaving our dog with Rochelle and her husband. She was easy to communicate with and we knew he would be safe and comfortable in their home. They also have a fenced yard if your dog, like mine, can be tricky on walks!”
“Jenny was amazing with our Ellie! She sent me photos and messages about how Ellie was doing and what they did every day. I felt completely confident that Ellie was being well cared for while we were out of town. Jenny was always quick to reply to messages and a very kind hearted person. I will definitely request Jenny again and recommend her to all of our friends and family.”
“Another great experience with Katie! The last couple of times I’ve gone to pick up my dog, she has jumped back on Katie’s couch when it’s time for us to go. Safe to say she is well cared for and enjoys her time with Katie!”
“Thoughtful, kind, received daily updates and pictures of Kenai. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was safe and being taken care of by people who know and love dogs. She even came home with a Christmas art craft featuring her paw prints!! <3”
“Lisa is incredible with Kaia! She always sends pictures and lets me know how Kaia is doing. She really cares about her clients and their parents!! She’s one of a kind and I am so blessed to have found her. Thank you Lisa, for all you do 💕”
