“Johanna was awesome! She was super communicative and easy going. I know Louis loved staying with her and Panda, and I would absolutely have her watch him again.”
“Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!”
“Sush and her sweet family were great! Our dog met them beforehand and when it came time to drop him off, he went in happily. I received daily photos of him and could tell he was relaxed and having fun with the other dogs. Sush gave him lots of love and kept him comfortable. We will definitely book with Sush again!”
“Sky did a great job keeping me updated throughout my dog’s stay. I have a small/young dog, so I was a little worried about having her stay with a sitter, but Sky did wonderfully!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Juliet is awesome!! Sosi had a blast playing with Romeo and running around on a lawn. Juliet sent lots of adorable pics and vids to prove it- highly recommend!”
“I board Winston with Michael every time I go out of town. I get pictures of all of the activities they do together and all of the new doggy friends Winston makes. I feel entirely confident that my dog is getting the best care when I’m away.”
“Our dog came home happy and calm from Laurie & Richard's house. They were great communicators and sent us lots of photos during our trip. We especially appreciated their flexibility when our return trip was delayed and we picked up our dog later than initially planned. Recommend!”
“We could not have had a better experience with Ashton! She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating as we planned a pre-boarding meet and greet and coordinated pick up and drop off times for the weekend. Wilson had a built in friend with her dog, Rui, and he came home happy and tuckered out! We’ll absolutely be using Ashton’s services again. Thank you so much, Ashton!”
“Cynthia is easy to communicate with and flexible with our dates. Sydney had a good time playing with the other dogs at her house. We really appreciated the videos and pictures.”
“It was wonderful to find Morgan for my older boxer who needed a quiet environment while we were out of town for the holidays. Morgan has older dog experience, took Sugar for gentle walks and sent me pics daily.”
“I have no words to thank Svetlanna and Javier! They are simply amazing! They took care of Honey as if she was their own, adjusted to her schedule, and even trained her. And their dog Duke played lots with Honey. Highly recommended their care!”
“Erin is the best! My Flo loves her and is a peace of mind to know that she is in very good hands. Erin send me pictures very often and I love it.”
“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”
“Chad was fantastic with my fur baby. He and his wife are communicative and I have been confident my dog is well-cared for with them. Highly recommend!!”
“Brianne and her family did a wonderful job caring for Kaia! She went over and beyond for repairing one of Kaia’s favorite toys (several times). Her daughters snuggled and played with Kaia treating her with utmost care. She came back exhausted and I always say a tired pup is a happy one!”
“Bridgid was phenomenal. Our dog is standoffish with new people, but by the end of two days with Bridgid he didn’t want to leaver her. Her years of dog ownership really show and she projects calm, confidence, and flexibility. She handled a complex med schedule like a champ and truly went above and beyond. She may be new to Rover, but don’t let that fool you - she is truly one of the best you will find.”
