“Aimee sat for Enzo several times and he always had a great time. Aimee is great at providing pics of how he’s doing and includes thoughtful notes. I strongly recommend Aimee to anyone looking for a pet sitter, they will be loved and cared for while you’re away!”
“Tamara was the best! We were in a serious bind and needed help last minute and she saved the day and Huey had the best time ever! Tamara was so communicative and accommodating. Huey didn’t even know he was at a strangers, he fit right in. We will definitely be using Tamara again in the future and highly recommend her watching your doggos!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received over spring break! Eun went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, and well looked after the entire time. It was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had been treated with love and attention—his tail was wagging, and he seemed relaxed and content. We truly appreciated the regular updates and the peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Martha was a loving and caring guardian for Charlie while we were away on spring break. Her updates and pictures assured us how happy and well cared he was. Charlie had a ton of attention and love with Martha and her family! We can’t thank her enough for taking care of Charlie and make him feel just like at home.”
“Chaoran was great. She took good care of Elsa and kept me informed about how she was doing. When I went to pick her up, Elsa seemed a bit conflicted as to whether she would prefer to stay there or come home with me.😂 I took that as a good sign.”
“I absolutely love boarding my dogs with Maria. She’s my weekend getaway boarder and my pups love visiting her and her handsome son. I would highly recommend Maria!”
“I knew that Tango would be well taken care of the minute I met Kristen. She has a wonderful demeanor and I can tell the dogs love and respect her. Tango immediately felt at home. He came back calm and relaxed. (And for a normally picky eater...he ate all his food!) I can’t recommend Kristen enough! We will definitely use her again!”
“John and Johanna are amazing!! They cared for Cairo as if he was their own. From cuddles to bath time, Cairo was truly pampered the entire visit. It’s not the most comfortable being away from your fur baby, however, through pics and videos I felt connected the entire time. Highly recommend John and Johanna. I will be reaching out again soon. :)”
“Couldn’t be more happy with Ashley’s boarding services. She kept me updated with messages and pictures, got more food when my girl was out, and even offered to clip Gamora’s nails. Which by some miracle her and her boy friend were able to. They are an amazing team and very clearly love the pets under their care. Excited because I travel regularly for work and it’s a huge relief to know that Gamora will always be in good hands.”
“Jennifer was great! She was very responsive and accommodating. She took great care of our pup and he seemed to have a great time. I definitely recommend Jennifer to watch over any fur baby. She's awesome.”
“Lydia was very caring to Ruby. My dog had an accident the day before we left, she had a cut in her ear and had to be stitched by the vet. She was wearing a cone to prevent her from scratching her ear, she's on antibiotics and pain meds. Lydia lovingly took care of Ruby.”
“My dogs had such a good time with Mike and the family. I could tell that Jake and Aurora were well taken care of. They went outside, went on walks, snuggled with kids, and hung out with the other dogs. Highly recommend using Mike, your pets are in good hands.”
“Jamie, Mike and the whole family were amazing. It was very easy to book with Jamie and Mike. They were very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and answer any questions I had. They also asked questions and provided details about siting with them, that helped put my mind at ease, since I always worry about being separated from my pup. They were also very good communicating. Making sure we found a drop off and pick up time that works for us both, to sending multiple updates and photos on how my pup was doing while there. I am so grateful they opened their beautiful home, and shared their lovely family with Benjie. If available in the future, I would certainly use them to sit again, and would highly recommend them.”
“I can't say enough good things! Cynthia took amazing care of my dog. Willow was truly happy, relaxed, and content when I picked her up. Cynthia provided plenty of picture updates and communication throughout Willow's stay. I would 100% recommend her as a sitter and hope to book with her again in the future.”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Stacie! This was my first time using rover and let’s just say I was nervous. Stacie sent us pictures and updates throughout Dudley’s stay. Dudley was so happy and Stacie treated him as if it was her own pet. I will definitely be using her again and referring my friends! Thank you so much for loving and caring for our pup like we do!!! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Iryna is wonderful. I have an elderly dog with dementia, so he requires special kind of care and Iryna did a wonderful job. She’s caring and attentive and I feel comfortable leaving my dog in her capable hands, which is incredibly hard for me to find usually.”
“This was our first time boarding with Darnell. Lulah has a lot of medical issues and on lots of medications so not everyone wants to take on that responsibility. Darnell didn't hesitate. He communicated, quick to respond, and sent pictures during her stay. It's always so nice knowing you can enjoy your vacation and not worry about your fur baby.”
“Ingrid is the best! This is the second time we book her to care for our dog for more than 2 weeks and it gives us peace of mind she is with an amazing pet sitter like Ingrid. Thank you for everything you did for Mili❤️”
“Nina and her family are amazing!!! She took care of my 3y/o yorkie named Tokyo for 4 days. She sent me pictures and videos each day showing how well Tokyo was doing and adapting to his new environment. I was immediately put at ease knowing that Tokyo was in a loving environment. Tokyo loved his time there and even began napping on the same schedule as her two other dogs…he really did become a part of their family!! I love that!!! ❤️ She brushed him and kept his eyes clean daily and he even let Nina brush his teeth at night! I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’m so happy 😀. I will definitely use Nina again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
