“Tyler is absolutely wonderful! So trustworthy and caring. We have an older dog with a very strict diet and needs medication daily. She is the only person we have left him with that he seems to come home healthier than before as she is so careful with his needs. We also have a high energy large breed dog that she is great entertaining him and taking him places to sniff and run. We and the dogs love her!”

18. Celia T.
“I could tell Goose had such a good time at Celia’s by how happy she was when I picked her up! also sometimes Goose won’t eat at daycare if she’s too anxious, but with Celia this wasn’t a problem at all! I could tell she was so well taken care of and she got along well with both Celia and her pup. I’m really happy with how frequently Celia was able to take her out on walks and how attentive she was. On top of that, Celia was super communicative and sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely come back for daycare again!!”
19. Jaime S.
“Jamie was great with my German Shepherd! This was the first time Ada was away from me or her 3 siblings. Little nervous the first day but after that she looked forward to going with Jamie once she saw him. Her acceptance of him made me more relaxed. Very glad I found Jamie on Rover!”
20. Jillian B.
“Jillian was so amazing with Zora! She watched her nearly all day and late into the night and took such great care of her. She even watched her on Christmas Eve when I needed to do some running around. Zora came back happy and ready for bed! Definitely will be booking again”
