1. Penny H.

“Penny and her husband were so great with Winston. She kept me updated throughout his stay and he was very happy when I arrived to pick him up after my trip. He also got along with her dogs as well which is great! Will not hesitate to book again!”


2. Paula C.

“Paula took care of Kenny for six days. She did a wonderful job! He is recovering from CCL surgery and she was very attentive to his safety and comfort. He has some separation anxiety but was very comfortable staying with her. I would definitely use Paula again.”


3. Jesse & Emily H.

“Jesse was very friendly and asked great questions to make sure our dog would be well taken care of. He sent us pictures of our pup enjoying his stay which we really appreciated.”


4. Svitlana F.

“Thank you so much, Svitlana, for taking such great care of my dog! You were incredibly helpful and excellent at communicating, both during the initial meet and greet and throughout the stay. I especially appreciated the photos and videos you shared – it really put my mind at ease. I’m so grateful for all your help!”


5. Hillary D.

“Hillary and her family helped to take care of our pup for a last minute trip to the area. She sent updates and Gwynne enjoyed her time staying here 😊”


6. Cynthia W.

“This is our second time booking with Cynthia. Good communication and updates with pictures and photos, but more importantly you can tell she really cares. Harley has come out happy each time and we will definitely keep using Cynthia in the future.”


7. Nana A.

“I would definitely recommend this boarder to anyone who wants the Best Care for their Furry Family Member! He is respectful, shared photos, and his communication is right on point!”


8. Aly B.

“Aly dog sat our Charlie boy for a few night and was awesome! Super responsive; sent updates and daily photos of Charlie. Much better experience for our guy vs. boarding at a kennel/boarder. Will absolutely rebook with Aly in the future!”




9. Julia T.

“Another uniformly positive experience for my dogs with Julia. It made me happy to see how hard and fast their tails were wagging when they got out of the car to be dropped off.”


10. Milan G.

“I cannot recommend Milan highly enough! From the very beginning, her communication was prompt and professional. She always responded quickly and made scheduling a breeze. What really stood out, though, was her incredible attention to detail and the level of care she showed for my puppy. She was patient, gentle, and clearly experienced, taking the time to understand my pup’s personality and routine. Most importantly, she made my dog feel completely comfortable and at ease, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. It’s not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, but Milan exceeded every expectation. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


11. Jani & Paul R.

“First time Rover user and am so happy. Dogs well taken care of. hosts were lovely people who really made the difference. they sent lots of photos and could tell dogs happy and well cared for in a lovely home. highly recommend.”


12. Katina M.


“They treat my dog like family, not just Katina, but everyone right down to the cats and dogs already in the home. My pup loves them so much and that makes me so comfortable leaving her there. Just like a second family”


13. Allison M.

“Good communication, kind and receptive to our young pup!”


14. Brooke L.

“Brooke truly took care of my dog Peter and he was happy and calm when picked. He liked to stay with Brooke and had good time playing in dog park. We felt Peter is in best hands and Brooke made us comfortable, she is very responsive and took good care of our dog. I highly recommend Brooke and would surely visit again.”


15. Julie N.

“Julie and her family took wonderful care of, spoiled really, our dog Waffles. We are so thankful to have found Julie. We give Julie our highest recommendation for caring for other dogs.”


16. Clayton D.

“This was my first time leaving my 8 month old puppy since I got him. He is a pretty anxious dog, which made me an anxious mother. Clayton and Brittany were great; they were unfazed by his quirks, and allowed him space to adjust. Apparently he adjusted just fine; climbing into laps. They have a large fenced yard and two lively dogs; such a fun, busy weekend for my pup! I highly recommend them…”


17. Emil F.

“Emil was so sweet with my little pup and he came back super happy! He was very thorough with making sure he did everything he needed and let him sniff around all the time. A great place to send my little guy.”


18. Rebecca Z.

“Rebecca did an amazing job with our dog. She kept well updated and I can tell Zurie had a great time during her stay. I would highly recommend Rebecca as a dog sitter!”




19. Mary R.

“Mary and her family are AWESOME! My dog Blue is a very small papillon and can be a little shy at first. Mary and her family did such a wonderful job making Blue feel right at home. She sent tons of super cute photos and updates and her son even brushed little Blue! I know my pup was living it up at her home and I felt so comfortable leaving her there. When I picked Blue up I could tell she really acclimated to being there! Mary’s family has two sweet doggies as well so Blue got some extra doggy socialization while she was there too. I’d recommend Mary and fam in a heartbeat and hope that Blue will be able to stay there again. 10/10 absolutely would recommend!”


20. Jessica L.

“Jess was great in every way, sent photos, has fenced yard, has a warm and fuzzy lab named Morty, and was calming for our doodle. Will definitely book again.”
