1. Heather W.
“Nala had a great time during her stay! It was so nice to know she was in a home with people around her and other doggie friends rather than leaving her home alone for stop in visits. Highly recommend!”
2. McKenna G.
“Teddy had another wonderful stay! It's so good to be able to travel a little and know that he is in a safe environment in capable hands. 5 stars are not enough!”
3. Ebony C.
“Ebony was great with Eleanor and she seemed to have enjoyed the stay with how tired she was when she was picked up! Good with sending daily updates and would recommend Ebony and her family to all!”
4. Shunita C.
“Thank you so much! This was our first experience using Rover and overall, it was a good one. Shunita was great and flexible in allowing us to come and pick them up at the end of our night so we didn’t need to leave them overnight. They were kept in kennels but Shunita said she lets them out every 2-3 hours to play in the back yard and go potty. Our puppies are on the larger size and not used to being kenneled or separated so, in the future, I will likely look for someone that allows them to join into a family atmosphere where they can roam & play freely. A smaller or older dog w/lower energy would do great, or a dog that’s used to being in a kennel. (That’s just a preference thing for the current puppies we have.) Shunita was very nice and made me feel relaxed and comfortable in leaving our puppies for the day.”
5. Heather H.
“Heather is amazing! We went on a two week vacation and knowing our little bubby was having a great time and being well taken care of made it so much easier and removed the guilt of not being able to take him with us. Thanks so much Heather!”
6. Leah C.
“My senior dog was in such good hands. She gets anxious in new places, but she did so well the five days she stayed with Leah. And Leah sent me some of the cutest pictures I've ever seen of my dog, Apple. It warmed my heart to see Apple feeling so at home while we were out of the country. We don't have frequent dog sitting needs, but when we do, I'll definitely be asking Leah again!”
7. Beth M.
“Beth was amazing with my dog!!! She sent plenty of updates with photos so I knew my dog was happy and healthy. I really appreciate the time she took to ask questions about my dog’s preferences and behavior prior to agreeing to watch her! Beth is amazing and very kind”
8. George & Erin M.
“Erin and George have an awesome set up and are great sitters. My two teenage pups had a blast playing outside and getting 1:1 attention. I’d highly recommend!!!”
9. Nick W.
“We are so happy to have found Nick! He was quick to respond to our request on short notice and even worked in a quick Meet and Greet at his house. He was easy to communicate with and checked in the first couple of days to let us know how Beau was settling in. He sent a few pics of Beau relaxing and playing. He was flexible with our pick up time since we had an evening flight. We really appreciated him taking care our our pup! Highly recommend and will be booking again.”
10. Carolina & Jenerth F.
“They did a great job caring for my diabetic cat. I feel like he received lots of love and care and they did a great job with his injections and let me know of any concerns/questions that they had. Carolina went out of her way to buy Chef a blanket when I forgot to bring home one from home.”
11. Elizabeth & Phillip J.
“Elizabeth and Phillip have watched Sadie twice now. We can tell how much she likes going there when we drop her off and how much she sleeps when she comes home! Highly recommend”
12. Lori G.
“Lori was amazing with my senior dog! She took great care of him and showed him lots of love. She took the time to introduce him to her fur babies slowly so he could acclimate a bit. He had an accident on his last day and she gave him a bath and kept him calm and comfortable. Could not recommend her enough!”
13. Josh V.
“Josh goes above and beyond to make sure Ella adjusts well to the new environment and gets all the puppy essentials taken care of. We felt so comfortable leaving her with him and his wonderful family while we were away on a trip. Definitely will be reaching out to Josh in the future!”
14. Christina G.
“Christina’s communication was great. She had wide availability in drop off and pick up. She was genuinely excited to spend time with our two dogs. Thanks, Christina!”
15. Jessica N.
“Jessica took great care of my dog Aries. She had a huge fenced in yard for him to play in and her son was there to run and play with him. She sent me lots of pictures and updates, and when I came to pick him up he didn’t want to leave his new fur friend. I will definitely book her again when I need to board him!”
16. Mariah H.
“Mariah took great care of Edison Photos and updates regularly. Especially enjoyed the video that we sent of Edison playing with her dogs. Lots of exercise and outdoor playtime in their fenced and backyard.”
17. Grace K.
“Grace was great at communicating. She provided photos and updates during our pup’s stay. I’m sure he would love to stay with her again in the future! We’ll definitely reach out next time we need a dog sitter.”
18. Stephanie P.
“Stephanie was amazing. Goose has a great time and can’t wait to come back in a couple weeks. She was so flexible and was able to accommodate anything. Truly a great person and sitter ! Tonks is also a sweetheart and put up with my goofball in the best way. Dare I say they are best friends :)”
19. Kaitlyn C.
“Absolutely spectacular. Great communication, pictures throughout. Extremely patient with me as a nervous dog dad. I’ll definitely use Kaitlyn again!”
20. Sharon D.
“Sharon sent us several updates throughout our fur babies ’ stay in the form of texts, pictures, and videos. We could tell she was very conscientious about taking good care of them and they seemed to have a great time. We will definitely get in touch with her the next time we need a sitter!”
