“Nani loved her stay with Paige! Not only did she go right in and make herself at home, she enjoyed lots of rubs and cuddles the whole time! I can’t praise enough the great communication and flexibility when requesting additional time. Please know, your fur family will be well cared for in this home!”

3. Ashleigh & Bill R.
“Thank you for being available on short notice this time while we attended to our family emergency. It was a comfort knowing he was well cared for.”
4. Kayla W.
“Kayla provided excellent dog boarding services. We received texts and photos to keep us informed of how our dog was doing. She understands dogs and has a system to keep them apart if they don't get along with hers. We knew our 'Teddy' loved staying there when we picked him up. Will definitely the next time we're passing through the area.”
5. Jessica & Carol H.
“What a wonderful first time experience using Rover. We could not be happier or more pleased with how these two caregivers cared for our extremely shy and quiet dog. They understood her immediately and gave her her space. I will definitely be booking with them again!!!!”
6. Bryson J.
“My dog must have had a great time at Bryson's house because when he got home, he slept the rest of the night. That's a huge WIN in my book. We're so happy to have found a playmate that could keep up with my dog's high puppy energy! Bryson was very prompt with responses and photo updates while we were out of town for 2 nights. Will definitely book another stay when we go out of town. Thank you Bryson and family!”
7. casey h.
“Casey was the best! She consistently gave me updates about Harley and made sure I was well informed . Extremely proffessional and diligent. She also helped.me put together Harley's crate when i brought it over. Definitely went above and beyond. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
8. Jordan W.
“Jordan was wonderful about a last minute date change which totally saved the day. Her whole family seemed happy to have our pup join them and their dog was really chill about having a guest as well. She was very responsive to texts and our dog seemed happy and rested at the end, which is never the case with kennels. Will definitely use again.”
9. Lydia L.
“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”
10. David D.
“Dave is the best. Very flexible, accommodating and understanding. Greg always gets excited when he finds out he's going there. I'm so grateful to have found someone reliable to take care of him when I'm out of town.”
11. Ryan W.
“First time using Rover and had a great experience. Ryan and his son took great care of Cerby and he came back home happy and playful as ever. Will definitely schedule with them again!”
12. Carey K.
“We met with Carey and spouse prior to our vacation to ensure our dog got along with the family dog. We spend lots of time and even went for a long walk.( No charge!) During this extended time it became obvious this was a knowledgable dog family. provided our dog with an environment that was loving and gave her all the stimulation we'd hoped to find and more. Lots of toys, companionship both human as well as canine and sleeping where ever she wanted. Lots of communication and photos and videos for us. It allowed for us to feel completely at ease leaving us for 13 nights. I can not recommend this sitter enough.”
13. Amber S.
“Amber and her husband were phenomenal! I have never had a river that I felt more comfortable leaving my dog with. It was immediately apparent after initial talks how kind, and responsible they are. They took my dog for many long walks and sent me a couple updates every day.”
14. Amber K.
“Amber was the perfect sitter for my Brinkley who is high maintenance due to medical conditions. I will be happy to use her whenever we are out of town again.”
15. Christopher H.
“Chris was awesome with our dog and provided us with pictures during the stay! We definitely recommend him and I know Tito can’t wait until his next stay!!”
16. Gregory A.
“I was away for 2 months and during this time Greg took excellent care of my dog Max. He kept me updated with messages and pictures of Max's activities. He feed him the specific food I had requested along with specific joint nutrients. Greg is very knowledgeable about caring for dogs and cats. At one point Max's stool became a bit soft and Greg knew exactly what to do to get things right. The home environment with his children is very clean, friendly and caring. I think Max enjoyed it so much he probably didn't want to leave. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use Greg in the future.”
17. Karen C.
“Karen was great with our dog! She took her on daily adventures and sent lots of photos of Granger throughout her stay. Granger was clearly treated like a beloved part of the family and we will happily leave her with Karen again.”
18. Rachel S.
“Would definitely recommend Rachel! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of pictures/updates.”
19. Sierra H.
“My dog is a frequent recipient of Sierra’s care. We schedule drop-ins and house boarding and Sierra is our go-to Rover booking. She does a fantastic job caring for my pup, and I always feel at ease knowing that. She also provides some of the best photos and keeps me updated. Couldn’t ask for better care.”
