“Ming was great with our 7 month old puppy for a last minute booking. We were nervous about leaving him, but talking with Ming and getting daily photos and videos helped us feel just fine.”
“Another great time for Nevaeh at Beckett's. She takes great care of Nevaeh, let's her have her space and voice of balls, LOL, and Nevaeh always comes home happy! Highly recommend!”
“Mule was so wonderful with our two dogs! She communicated regularly and sent lots of pictures and even some videos. She's very attentive and the pictures showed how much fun everyone was having.”
“Definitely recommend Jena! We were so nervous to leave our anxious pup with someone she didn't know & in a place she'd never been. But watching Jena interact with Mara settled all our nerves - it's extremely obvious that animals are a passion of Jena's. She sent daily updates and pictures, as well as cared for Mara as if she was her own dog and was kind enough to handle some last minute meds prescribed by the vet. So many good things to say, don't even know where to begin. Honestly, don't think Mara wanted to leave when we picked her up! We will absolutely be using Jena and her service again! Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kaylee and Nick did so great with our pup! Great communication, very easy going and just love taking care of your dog for you. They shared photos and video and it was so great to know our dog was having a great time while we were away. . Would definitely use them again!”
“So happy to have left our pup with Tiffany and her family! He made himself at home and had a much better time than at a boarding kennel. Will absolutely rebook again!”
“I recently entrusted Maxwell with caring for my dog, Mattie & Daisy, and I was incredibly pleased with their reliability, trustworthiness, and the evident care he provided. Maxwell consistently went above and beyond, ensuring Mattie & Daisy were well-fed, exercised, and happy during their stay. He was punctual, communicative, and always willing to address any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Maxwell to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog care provider.”
“Steve was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They had a great time with him at his home and enjoyed lots of walks, rubs, naps and exploring. Steve sent pictures to us a few times each day to show us how well they were doing. They came home happy and healthy. We'll absolutely be booking again.”
“Danny Boy had an amazing time with Michaela! Pickup and drop off were smooth and easy. Michaela was extremely communicative and great with photo updates every day. Will definitely be back!”
“Deb took such wonderful care of our puppy! She was only 13 weeks when we had to leave her for 2 nights, and she went above and beyond helping her adjust! She listens and cares how we are training her, does the same things, tries some of her own stuff, and just loves on Luna. I couldn't ask for a more caring sitter and Luna will be back. She got undivided attention, and training..I couldn't ask for a better place for her. She sent videos and photos the whole stay! And responded whenever I checked in with her. Thank you for loving Luna.”
“Travis and Danielle were fantastic at every point in the process. They were great to communicate with, and our dog had a great time staying with them. They are easily one of the best hosts we've worked with so far on Rover! We can not recommend them enough!”
“Angie did a fantastic job as a sitter. Her compassion, knowledge and attention to detail about animals is unparalleled. I would highly recommend Angie V.”
“Nathan was very accommodating and Vienna loved being there for two weeks and playing with his dogs. He managed personalities between various bookings well and sent photos during the stay. We will definitely stay again!”
“Jessica and her husband are AMAZING! They took such good care of our two boys as if they were their own. Our dogs are high energy and can be a lot to handle but they felt right at home from the start. We received photos and updates everyday that made us feel like they were in extra good hands. Thank you so much ♥️”
“Ashleigh took great care of my pups, one of which requires plenty of extra attention. She had great communication so I always knew they were in good hands.”
“Very nice family and sent lots of photos for only being there 1 day. Seems to have a good understanding of dog behavior. Their dog is very quiet and well behaved. Large fenced backyard with a big shade tree. I would recommend Aimee for dog sitting.”
“Izzy had a great time with Danielle and her pups! Danielle responded quickly to texts and sent lots of pictures so I would know Izzy was comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”
“Katrina was fantastic, she took care of my cats and i have 0 complaints!”
“Took great care of our dogs! Accepted them last-minute, very responsive to messaging, and sent regular feedback. Would definitely use again!”
“Chrissy did awesome with Java and gave him plenty of other dogs to play with in the comfort of a home. This is the first time having someone other than family watch him and he was so comfortable from the moment he was dropped off.”
