“Always 5 Stars at Michael's house! Ghost Pepper loves coming to visit and stay with Michael and his family. They are wonderful, kind, helpful people and I'm so thankful for their service!!”


“I would highly recommend Allison to take care of your dogs! She is so caring and definitely communicates with you to let you know what's going on! Her dog, Mollie is so sweet too! She has 2 fenced in areas- a front yard and back yard with a pool! There is definitely plenty of places for your dogs to roam and play outside. She also has a nice area inside for them to play and where she gives tons of cuddles! She honors whatever your routine is, as I wanted my dog to sleep in her soft crate and be fed twice a day with pottie breaks every 4hrs. She is very reliable, dependable, efficient and a total sweetheart! She knows how to slowly introduce dogs and makes sure everyone is safe and comfortable besides having fun! I was so calm knowing that my Lola was in good hands and given so much attention by her, her family, and the other dogs! A definite 5 star rating in my book!”


“I am so grateful we found Kristin :) Second visit for our golden, Sunny. While we were away Kristin sent pictures so we could see Sunny was so happy -- hiking, playing, and just snuggling...that just put us so much at ease. Sunny also comes home cleaner than when we left her which is no easy task! :) I think we have to leave Sunny with Kristin and Kaia more often because she clearly misses them when she comes home! Thank you for everything, Kristin (and Kaia!)”


“Amanda and her family took care of Butters very well. the family is welcoming and caring. Butters had a wonderful time. definitely recommend. Thank you so much for taking care of Butters.”


“This was the first boarding experience for my 2 year old fur baby and it could not have gone better. Heather and Norman are the BEST! They were very accommodating and commutative. Rita LOVED her time in their home. It truly was her home away from home. I will definitely be using Heather and Norm in the future. Thank you guys for everything!”


“Patti ( and her family) are the best! It was my first time leaving my pup and it was a 12 day honeymoon. I was nervous but she sent pictures and updates every couple days and I’m pretty sure my little guy was actually sad to leave. I would recommend her to EVERYONE!”


“Sandra was wonderful to work with! She was easy to communicate with, and I knew Otis was in great hands. He came home happy and relaxed after his stay. ✨”


“Shanagay sent regular updates and photos that showed me that Maggie Mae was in good hands. The sitter's proximity to my home makes it easy to get care for Maggie when I am away.”


“Aishea was nice and welcoming to Charlie. He felt comfortable immediately with her. Charlie was very well taken care of. Kept me updated of how he was and sent picture and videos. Will definitely recommend. Thank you Aishea!”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our Arthur! From the start, Amy was attentive, responsible, and truly cared for our boy like her own. Arthur is adventurous and always getting into something, but she handled everything with ease and kept us updated with pictures and messages. It was clear Arthur felt comfortable and happy in her care. Highly recommend! Thank you Amy, and Mayzie!!”


“Mary, along with her husband, took great care of our two dogs over Memorial Day Weekend. She not only provided the care and boarding as requested, but she went above and beyond from what we asked. On my drive home I realized I had forgotten their food and water bowls. Not a problem, Mary informed me she had extra and that I didn’t need to worry or come back with them. I had informed Mary that walks weren’t needed as I have one dog who doesn’t like other dogs and another dog who is leash reactive out of excitement when he sees other dogs. To avoid stress, I usually let sitters know that walks aren’t necessary during their stay. Mary was able to take our dogs for walks without issue! She didn’t hesitate to do so, even if they could be a little challenging. Mary made sure they took their different medications with their food. She also provided nightly updates along with a few pictures. Lastly, during their stay, one of our dogs had stomach issues, most likely due to a new medicine from the vet. Mary was on top of things with communication and recommendations of action. She was very informative and detailed about it. She even offered to possibly take our dog to vet services if needed. Our dog has a sensitive stomach and we didn’t realize the medication could be an issue for her (when we dropped her off, she had only been taking it for a couple days). We really appreciated her being forward with what was happening and being very patient and kind with us because we felt so bad that happened during our dog’s stay.”


“This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Our puppy Koda was staying away from home for the first time, and Novelette took amazing care of him. She kept us updated throughout his stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Koda had a blast and came home happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again!”


“This was Mabel's second stay with Jenelly and she had a lovely time. We received photos and updates throughout the week and it was clear that Jenelly and her husband were tuned into what Mabel needed and what she enjoys. Mabel came back to us (after she offered a cute goodbye to Jenelly at the door) content and calm, which is a great sign that she had a good visit.”


“Forough and Amir were awesome! Baloo got a playmate in Ruby and he lioked so happy. We got daily updates and that helped know he is doing fine. We will definitely work with Forough and Amir again! Definitely recommend!”


“First time using Rover and had a great experience with Keith & Ashley. Had last minute travel plans come up and they were very accommodating and kept me updated and in the loop all weekend. My dog is anxious and has some separation anxiety and they made him feel right at home.”


“Karyn was absolutely terrific. My puppy was extremely comfortable with her. Karyn treated him as if he was hers. Sent many pictures and kept me informed about Fitzy several times a day. She has a great fenced in yard which gave my dog freedom to run. Fitzy and her dog got along well. Would highly recommend her. Can’t say enough of good things about this experience.”


“Taylor was absolutely amazing!!! From wanting to meet up before my boarding booking to make sure our dogs got along (they did :) ) to sending pictures and checking in while I was away - he is a great sitter and boarding option! He was also really accommodating when my plans changed literally last minute and even updated the booking to save the extra day charge, which he certainly didn't have to do since the change was on my side. I could just tell he was a pet person, and my dogs came home very happy and loved while I was away. Thank you Taylor - and for anyone else, he is VERY highly recommended :)”
