“Jeanie was great! Two senior dogs, both with their own needs and she took care of them as her own. Updated with pics every day with good communication. Thank You Jeanie”
“Friendly family, sent pictures of our dog during his stay so we could know he was happy. Amber knew what to expect with dogs in an unfamiliar environment (e.g. Not wanting to eat their food) and was prepared to encourage him with some yummy moist food).”
“Christine and her husband were very nice and took amazing care of olli!! They watched him over our wedding weekend and brought him on the day of to let him be in pictures!! we couldn’t have asked for anyone better!! They sent pictures everyday and kept us updated.”
“Christopher did a fantastic job. He picked up our boys at our hotel and returned them when we arrived back from our grandson's wedding! The boys walked into the room happy and wagging their tails. We had a great visit with him afterward and a short visit before he left our room to take them to his home for the 6 hour stay. We will certainly plan on having him again if the need arises in his area. We also will highly reccommend him to others. Mike & Janet Enzsor”
“Angela was so sweet! I got pictures of my dog during her night there and it was nice knowing someone was taking great care of my baby!! Will use Angela again for sure!!”
“I felt completely comfortable with Aubry watching my dogs, she sent wonderful pictures of them throughout their visit. I will definitely be sure to use her in the future. I am so glad I found her! Max and Fez loved her too!”
“Andre provided walks for our dog and sent me picture updates 3 times daily! He was great with communication and our dog came back happy and relaxed. We will be using his services again in the future, if needed!”
“Rosco was in good hands with Amber. She kept me updated on his well being everyday. Would highly recommend and will be using her services again. Thanks Amber!!!”
“Our Cosmo loves going to Arlissa’s. He has so much fun and gets lots of love. We love how she keeps us updated on his stay. She sends great pictures and wonderful videos.”
“Tami, was very responsive and kept me informed about my dogs 🐶. They loved her backyard, do not hesitate to book with her, your pet will feel loved 🥰.”
“Rachel was so great to work with! I never felt worried about Max and she does a great job sending pictures to help you miss your furry friend a little less. :)”
“Great experience with Deborah! This was our first time using Rover. Our pup was well cared for. Deborah had a complete report for us at pick up including a couple tips for his picky eating habits. Normally at Kennels our pup is fighting to leave, but not at Debora's. He was happy to see us, but in no hurry to get home, so clean he had a good time. We will definately use Deborah again.”
“We LOVE LOVE Katherine!! She’s so good with our girls! They love her and are so comfortable in her home! We are absolutely blessed to have her! Thank you Katherine for everything you do.. 💕💕💕”
“I appreciated that they were focused on getting Piper to eat since I'd relayed that when she gets anxious (like while I'm away) she tends to not want to eat. They sent well-timed pictures that showed the dogs relaxed by themselves or with one of the family. The stay went well but it was a bit confusing with having both ladies message me answers to the same question.”
“Daphne and her spouse were simply the best. They went out of their way to make my somewhat anxious pup comfortable in their home. I got multiple updates every day about my dog and he was clearly comfortable and loving being in their home. I was so nervous about my dog's anxiety and she really helped set my mind at ease. My dog looked so happy and was probably sad he had to leave ?”
“She is very nice and kind. The dogs were happy and well fed. They were taken care of as I would do. Thank you for my respite away from my dogs. My blood pressure was up and now I feel better. ML”
“Angel was among the best sitters I’ve ever had the pleasure of using! She sent me updates on Ryder and took such good care of him, even had tornado evacuation procedures in place for him! Thanks so much Angel, we can’t wait to see you again!”
“First time using Rover to find a sitter for our girl Bailey and Darieli knocked it out of the park! I was nervous to leave her for the week and she made us feel very comfortable. Bailey felt right at home and loved playing with her pup. She sent pictures throughout every day and I just knew Bailey was not only cared for but happy! 10/10 recommend! We will definitely be utilizing her again!”
