As always, Macho LOVES staying at his home away from home. One month is the longest amount of time we had to be gone from him and it made it so much easier knowing he was with Ashley, Jon and their family. We appreciate knowing he is loved and cared for when we can't be with him!

Sarah and her family are amazing! She truly loves dogs and we felt very comfortable knowing Molly was in good hands. She is a great communicator, very organized, and shared daily photos and videos of our goofy pup. We've used Rover several times and Sarah is the absolute best! We've already booked another stay for Molly next month. Sarah is now our go-to dog sitter! Thank you for taking such great care of Molly! Steve & Beth

Diane was wonderful. I recently adopted my dog and was nervous to leave her for the first time, but Diane went above and beyond to make sure Nora and I both had a good experience. She allowed us to come over to her home for a thorough meet and greet with her dog, Gigi, to make sure the dogs were a good match. Diane was very flexible with pick-up and drop off times. She made sure to provide regular updates throughout my trip, which made me feel so much better about being far away. All in all, Diane and her family did an awesome job and I feel so comfortable leaving Nora with her in the future. 10/10! Thank you!

Tasha was amazing!!! She was quick to respond at the beginning of our stay when we needed to quickly board our pup and the speed of her communication never faltered. She sent pictures daily and was available when we wanted to come by and visit with our pup. I will definitely be using her again she is 1 in a million.

We are so happy with Brian’s service and he actually helped more that we could expected. Brian not only took care of my Happy, sending us short video clips frequently, as his home is close to the airport that he even gave us a ride to the airport on the day we dropped our dog to his place; then he also picked us up on our return date. He’s so friendly and warm hearted. We will definitely book Brian’s dog boarding service again in the future!

I am excited to rave about our experience with Christina! My dog, Bentley, loves going to her home for petsitting. Christina has excellent communication and provides the best updates (including pictures and videos). She is well informed of a pet's needs.Even when she takes Bentley for walks, she goes above and beyond. When we pull into her neighborhood, Bentley cannot contain his excitement and eagerness to see her.

About: I got my first dog as a gift on my first birthday. He was a black lab, and I fell in love immediately. We grew up together and he was with me for 17 years. Throughout my life, my family has also had a miniature schnauzer and a German shepherd/black lab mix. We were a big pet household, having a bunny rabbit, fish, hamster, and Guinea pig! In addition, I have two chocolate labs of my own! Bleu (girl) is 4 and Lottie (boy) is 2. They are truly my world, and I think all animals are family! I have been around animals my whole life. I absolutely love them all! My fiance and I both work from home full-time, so we are at home with our fur babies all day. Happy to provide care in my home, as long as they are friendly with my dogs. I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule that will allow me to come for walks, check-ins, etc as needed. I have two fur babies that absolutely love other dogs. We have a large, fenced in yard that we spend hours a day throwing balls and getting all the zoomies out. Happy to do also do drop in visits in your home / take for walks and play as needed.

Haley and her sweet daughter entertained my puppy really well during a short stay. He was on the last two days of his neutering care and she still accepted the job. He was fine at pickup as well. I appreciated the frequent communication and photos. And Haley took the time to find an item at the grocery store that he might like since he was being a picky eater and reviewed it with me. I had peace of mind during my work retreat in knowing that my puppy was in great hands.

Brian and Denise are the best! I can’t say enough great things about the care they provided Oliver. I received lots of pictures, videos and updates while we were away. They have a beautiful, clean house with all the comforts a dog would need. They have toys and leashes and lots of love for furry friends. We decided to stay another night and they were happy to oblige. I am thrilled to have such fabulous care takers so close. Top accolades: - clean, safe home - well prepared for dogs - huge dog lovers - lots of walks, play & snuggles - great communication 100 stars …Our puppy misses them!
