“Tom will be an excellent member of the Rover team. I have been great friends with him for over 8 years. He loves dogs, and dogs definitely love him. My dog Theo loves it when Tom comes over. He is really a great, reliable, professional guy. I couldn’t recommend him more. I’m positive Rober customers will feel the same way I do about Tom.”

“Our two year old mini schnauzer has stayed with Ken and Felice (and the boys) many times now since he was a young pup for as short as day care or one night to two weeks this time. He loves going there and is excited to see the family each and every time. They are very good about keeping us updated on his stay and is extremely well cared for at their home. Felice and family are the best!!!!!”

“Stephanie was great with my high maintenance Pom. I received updates throughout the day with cute pictures. Only problem I ran into was my dog ran to Stephanie refusing to leave when I went to pick her up. I can tell my dog had a blast!”


12. Ren W.


“Ren and family provided such an amazing boarding experience for my dog. Their love for dogs really shows through and gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands and was being treated like a member of their family. My dog had such a good time, when I came to pick him up he didn't want to leave!”


13. Julia C.

“Grateful Julia showed patience and care to my older Wired Haired Pointer. A quick overnight was a perfect first time visit for my old girl. Maybe next time she will stay longer?!!”


14. Meghan A.


“Meghan was absolutely amazing! My fur baby has separation anxiety so I was a little nervous, but he did so well! I went out of town for 9 days and was so at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. She sends daily updates with pictures so you know exactly how they did that day. I would absolutely recommend Meghan!”


15. Theresa C.

“Theresa was fantastic with our dog Maple, she had a great time. We loved all the picture updates we got throughout our trip. We will for sure be using her again!”


16. Victoria S.

“My pupper had a wonderful time with Victoria - lots of long walks and other adventures in nature! Victoria sent lots of photos and updates and I was very comfortable that Honey was being well cared for. I definitely recommend Victoria and expect to be rebooking with her again in the future”




17. Michelle P.


“Michelle was truly amazing! I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone new for the first time—especially since she can be reactive, and we're still working on training around triggers—and Michelle put my mind at ease. She carefully went through my (far too long) list of care instructions, sent me regular updates, played frisbee with Winnie, and much more, and Winnie was relaxed and happy when she came home. I can't say enough good things about Michelle!”


18. Josephine J.

“This was the first time I’ve had to board my dog, and Josephine made the process so easy and comfortable. She kept in contact with me from the moment I booked until the day I picked up my pup! She sent updates and pic and really put me at ease! Will definitely be using her again!!”


19. Valen J.

“Valen was great! She took great care of our dog (cookie). She was very responsive and proactive. She shared pictures and videos of our dog and was always keeping us updated. I totally recommend her, and we will certainly request her services in the future.”


20. Vatina H.

“Vatina is awesome!! She made my dog and myself feel so welcomed and comfortable. My dog has anxiety as well as myself and it was such a relief meeting another caring dog owner that genuinely loved my pet like her own!! Thumbs up. I would definitely recommend Vatina for anyone that wants a caring and warm dog sitter???.”
