1. Joannimal R.

“Joanna is phenomenal. Her love for animals and what she does is evident the second you meet her. She went above and beyond to meet our dogs twice before the dates we booked her. She is a professional through and through given the tough situation she had with our pups. Like she said, “it’s not a failure, it’s a learning experience “. We will be happy to work with her in the future for sure!”


2. Amber Y.

“This is my first time using Rover and Amber; I will never put my dog in any boarding/pet hotel/ doggy daycare again!! Amber did such a wonderful job with Milo, he got personal attention, long walks and kept his schedule all in his own home. When we boarded him, it would take a couple of days just to get “Milo” back to his normal self, but when we got back today he was his normal self thanks to Amber’s excellent care. Amber also took great care of our home while we were away, keeping everything neat and clean, including laundering the bath towels and bedding used while staying here. Any apprehension we initially had using Rover for the first time has been put to rest, and Amber is a great choice to care for your pet and your home!!”


3. Dawna S.

“Dawna did an amazing job talking care of our 3 dogs. You can tell she has a really big heart. She sent pics and a cute video to us during her stay in our home. Everything was left super clean and all 3 dogs were super happy and worn out from playing!! We hope to have her again. I'd rank her above other dog sitters I've had.”


4. Jacob S.

“Jacob was amazing with Pua! I would say he went above and beyond in taking care of her and making sure that she had everything she needed. He was very attentive to her needs and was easily accessible.”


5. Elizabeth R.

“Elizabeth was great and I will definitely use her again in the future! She helped us out on such short notice and took great care of our pups while we were out of town. She sent us updates letting us know they pups were happy and all was well!”


6. Emilee R.
“Emilee watches my 4 dogs when I gave to go out of town for business trips. She knows each dog and their specific needs and personality. I have 3 little dogs and 1 pittie. They are ages 3 to 13 and I never worry that each one gets individual attention and food and supplements required. They are always in good hands with Emilee.”

“Isabella did a great job watching my 2 dogs. Keeping me updated with messages and pictures was a bonus which I really appreciated. A+”

16. Elisabeth G.

“Elisabeth was awesome- kind and seems to truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe at home. We really appreciated her care for our two girls ☺️☺️”


17. Jessica H.
“I could not fault Jess and her husband, they were truly amazing. I was apprehensive about leaving Buddy with someone unknown, in an unknown household but Jess made me feel at ease with the whole process. She kept me updated with Buddy and he really made himself at home very quickly. Jess ensured that he was exercised and took him out before it got too hot for him, which I really appreciate. Buddy had several trips to the beach where Jess got in the water with him. I will be coming back to Jess as she really did take care of him like her own.”
