“Great family. I felt very confident leaving my dog, Apollo with them for 5 days. Carrie kept me updated with videos & pictures and his overall behavior. So I knew he was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend this wonderful family. Apollo had a great time.”
“Diana is absolutely amazing and so sweet. Our babies loved her and we know they did because they weren’t stressed at all when we picked them up. Usually after staying at dog hotels our dogs would be so uncomfortable and upset with us. With Diana they were so happy. Diana’s care was like home away from home with them. She checked in with us everyday. Highly recommend Diana if you want your pups to feel safe and at home. We will use her anytime we are away. She’s the best.”
“Megan and her family were great! Megan sent me updates throughout the weekend to let me know how things were going. When Remy got dirty from playing outside she gave her bath. Remy came home tired and happy!”
“We love Sunny so does our little fur baby. We were a little scared to leave our Lily for two weeks but Sunny's constant updates with pictures just made us feel at ease. She is also very responsive, if ever we had any questions she answers right away. Her home was very nice and clean. We will definetly go back to her and recommend her to our friends and family.”
“Jae was amazing with our goldendoodle, Theodore! She is very responsive, she was attentive of my dogs behaviors, and she kept us updated every day! Our doodle is very nervous and wary around other dogs but Sugar, Jae’s Bouvier des Flandres, is a very calm and non-reactive dog which is perfect for Theodore’s behavior. It didn’t even take more than a night for them to become best friends! Moose, Jae’s older chihuahua, will also mind her own business and keep to her little house! Jae even took the time to groom Theodore before we picked him up! Absolutely a great experience for my dog and I, I would recommend Jae to others!”
“Sara took the most incredible care of our pup. We got tons of great pictures of him daily and she provided wonderful updates. We even left with the cutest custom report card on his stay. I would absolutely recommend Sara to anyone who is looking for a great place for their dog!! Thank you Sara and Zoe!”
“I feel so lucky to have found Julie & Maria!! My two dogs Waffles and Wrigley stayed with them for a week and were so well taken care of. It really made me feel at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We set up a meet & greet shortly before the intended stay where I was given a tour of the home and got to meet the family. Julie kept me updated with photos and videos during the stay. I never had a moment of worry while they were with her & Maria! I think the dogs had a better vacation than we did with all the love and attention Julie & Maria gave them. I will definitely book with them again for future trips!”
“Denise was awesome. She was super flexible with timing, very thorough and thoughtful in our meet and greet, and sent great updates throughout the day! Nora came back happy and relaxed.”
“Rachel, thank you for always giving my pups the best care and love! Your comfy home is a home away from home. They both always come home happy campers. It is a peace of mind when I am away from my pups. Your the best!!!”
“Our dog Blue had the best time staying with Dianiris and her family. From the get go, Dianiris responded quickly to texts and was very kind and reassuring (I might have been having a little separation anxiety of my own lol). I really appreciated all of the check-ins and photos she sent while Blue was with her too. Dianiris will definitely be our go-to sitter if we are back in the area!”

You can expect plenty of photo updates, quick communication, and one very happy pet upon your return!
“Max came through in last minute pinch! We had to find a trusting care taker for our dog because our venue event informed us the same day, only service dogs. I was able enjoy the event because Max gave us updates with videos and pics. My dog was returned with cuddles and seemed at peace and relaxed. I truly appreciate Max and highly recommend him.”
“Donovan is great, perfect boarding option for our dogs. We travel a lot and plan to continue requesting Donovan’s services. It can be scary leaving your dogs with a stranger, but we felt comfortable with the setup right away, including access to the yard and Donovan’s home.”
“My dog always comes home so happy and content after being in Nickole's care :) She's always great about updating me throughout the stay. I'm never worried as I know he's is in good hands!”
“This is my first time using Rover. Arriyanna is beyond amazing, took care of my sweet Nala in a last minute situation. I seriously don’t know what I would have done if she wasn’t able to help us out. She took amazing care of Nala. Since this was her first time outside she was a little spooked and she helped Nala decompress. Grateful for her assistance and care. She provided updates & pictures.”
“Monique was amazing, communicative, warm, caring and kind. She welcomed Biggie on last minute notice without hesitation and sent me frequent updates and pics to let me know how he was doing. I will definitely book with her again and refer family and friends.”

Highly recommend Carrie and Sean! They were able to accommodate a last-minute boarding request for our dog, which truly saved our weekend. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and as a fellow school district family, it was great to connect. To top it off, the fresh sourdough bread was incredible—possibly the best I’ve ever had! We will definitely be booking with them again.
Shannon took care of our nearly 14-year-old chihuahua for a week while we were away on our babymoon, and I truly could not have asked for a better sitter. Our little guy requires lifelong medication twice a day and occasionally experiences seizure symptoms, so finding someone we could fully trust was incredibly important to us. Shannon was absolutely amazing. She stayed perfectly on schedule with his medications, took such great care of his feeding routine, and was very accommodating to all of our requests. She also sent us lots of updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What impressed me most was how naturally she understood our chihuahua’s personality and needs almost immediately, without us having to explain much at all. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and made him feel comfortable and loved. I’m so grateful we found Shannon, and she will absolutely be our go-to sitter in the future. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our precious little guy.💕 We were truly able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was in such good hands.
She took such amazing care of my dog for 5 days, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease and when we picked him up, he was so happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats the dogs like her own. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again. This was my first experience with Rover, and leaving my puppy. Highly, highly recommend!
We have found my dog's new second "home"!!! After our friend/dog sitter moved away, we were very nervous about finding someone new to watch our pup. She is 100% part of our family, and being a rescue and a sensitive personality, taking her to a traditional boarding place was out of the question. We found out that Lisa and Phil are actually in our neighborhood, and after doing a meet and greet, we knew we had found our new dog people. They asked all the right questions about her personality, her needs, and routines. It really felt like they wanted to know her and be able to help her transition. Lisa treated our dog as if she was her own. She took her on walks to school every morning, played with her at home, and loved her for us while we were gone. She even slept on the couch the first night to be near by when my dog wanted to stay in the living room! I can't begin to explain the relief I had when I realized what an amazing family we had found to watch our dog. Lisa sent updates, photos and videos often and was overall just the best pet sitter we could ever have asked for. She was very communicative. If I could leave her and Phil 100 stars, I would! Don't hesitate, reach out to Lisa and Phil if you need a pet sitter! You won't be disappointed.
Jeff and Tammy did a wonderful job caring for my senior girl Addie. At 11 years old I am nervous leaving her in general but with immediate family overseas I was gone longer than ever this time and needed a caring gentle home for her. They are experienced and loving and provided her with the same routine she has at home. Their sweet senior dog Nicholas was a good match for her as she doesn't usually enjoy overly rambunctious pups. They administered her eye drops twice a day and gave her the walks she loves. I got regular updates and pictures. I would highly recommend them! Thanks Jeff and Tammy.
Shona is so great with our pup, Lucy. She is communicative with us and is always taking Lucy for walks and to the park. Lucy also loves her little pup, Fig, who is such a sweetheart. We are grateful to have someone as loving and trustworthy as Shona and we know Lucy enjoys her getaways there as well!
I have left my sweet dogs at Jon’s for years. He and his wife are dog whisperers. They know dogs. They got my tiny very fearful 7 pound dog comfortable with other dogs. That’s something I had been trying to do forever. When I pull up to their house my dogs start getting excited and wagging their tails. They run right up to his door and scratch to get in! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Kayla watched my dog for an extended stay recently and was amazing. She did a fantastic job of sending me updates throughout my pups stay with lots of pictures included; I could tell from the photos that he settled right in and was very comfortable with her. I will definitely be using her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Erica is incredibly kind and took amazing care of our dog, Laika! She was attentive to all of Laika’s needs, especially during the 4th of July fireworks, which can be stressful for our pet. I really appreciated the thoughtful updates she sent. They gave me peace of mind knowing Laika was in great hands. Highly recommend!
