“My pet had the best of care in this home! From the very beginning, I knew that my dog was comfortable He loved the fenced in backyard along with all the special attention! Additionally, I appreciated the communications and feedback that I received in regard to his adaptation. I highly recommend this home for providing top-notch care for your pet!”

“Jared was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover to have someone watch our dog, and I'm so glad that we chose him. We have a very large dog (about 130 pounds), and she often gets nervous or scared around strangers. He was confident right from the beginning that he could care for her, and that made me much more comfortable. He provided updates on how she was adjusting and sent pictures. She had a great time! I would definitely recommend Jared to anyone, and I'd be happy to have him watch my big girl again! Thanks Jared!”
“Nicole really did a wonderful job taking care of Twinkle. It was very clear that she really cared about Twinkle and treated her with a lot of love and care. She also sent us a lot of photos and that was really helpful in terms of knowing that things were going well. We would highly recommend Nicole!”
“Timber enjoyed his stay with Maggie! The temps were cold, but Maggie still took him on a walk and ensured he had the right amount of time inside and outside. She was attentive to his curious temperament and showed him a lot of attention. I highly recommend Maggie and we’ll book in the future.”
“Lulu was VERY well taken care of and spoiled with walks, hugs, kisses, and treats. She returned to us calm and happy. We would highly recommend Lisa and plan on using her services again soon. Awesome experience for us!”
“Caroline was so kind and easy to work with! We were coming from out of town to attend a wedding and it was so wonderful to know that Macy was in good hands for the two days we couldn't have her at the hotel. Macy loved playing with their dogs and enjoyed meeting the pigs and chickens as well :) We highly recommend Caroline and would definitely use her again!”
“Stephanie was great at communicating and was very flexible. We were traveling and needed someone last minute and she was very accommodating. She sent daily photos which was nice. I would recommend.”
“Our little dog’s experience with Daniel was excellent. Daniel is warm and loving to his dogs and to visiting dogs as well. His two dogs are friendly, senior and low key. Our dog came home relaxed and clearly well cared for. I would certainly come back!”
“Sara took amazing care of our boy! We got lots of photos and updates. Maverick had a fantastic time playing with George, their golden. She has a fenced in yard and property for the dogs to run.”
“Olivia was the best dog sitter we have used on this app! Our dog is typically very skittish and takes a while to warm up, but she did so good with Olivia and her husband. Not to mention they were extremely accommodating as my flights got cancelled twice attempting to come home. With having so much stress traveling Olivia made the situation so much easier because she continued to let us know Nyla was doing well and that she understood the circumstances and would be able to watch her longer than any of us anticipated. 10/10 would recommend and I know who will be at the top of our list for the next time we’re traveling!!!”

I used Jared to watch my precious Levi (Australian Shepard) for an overnight stay in the hospital, .4 miles away. Very friendly to Levi and I upon meeting. He provided a safe and loving home with spacious yard. Communication was exceptional along with photos which eased my mind while I was away.
Danielle was quick with a response when I requested a booking, flexible with pick up and drop off times, and took such great care of our boy! Maverick was all smiles in the photos she sent. She has two playful good dogs. She took my dog for walks with them. I would definitely use her again!
