“Katie took excellent care of our dog while we were at a football game. Our dog can be very timid but he looked super happy i. The photos she sent. Highly recommend and hope to use her again.”


2. Simone & Kenya D.

“Seymour was immediately comfortable with them, and he runs right up to their door when I drop him off! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he's going to have a good day and be well taken care of.”


3. Rillan M.

“We were a little apprehensive, never used Rover before, we were unfamiliar with Rillan, just had past reviews to help us choose. Happy to say, we were pleasantly surprised! Rillan is definitely a dog person. Our dog loves to play with other dogs, but dogs need to be monitored so they don’t get too crazy. She has a nice outdoor fenced play area and inside open space. Like a good kindergarten teacher, Rillan makes sure each dog plays nicely, separates those that need a time out and also gives individual attention. She sent pictures and stayed in touch, just for an afternoon of doggie day care! Our dog’s day ended with a nap and snuggles with Rillan and another dog hanging out on the sofa!! Will definitely use her again!”
