“From first meeting Robert, Fauci and I were convinced he’s the best! He understands dogs and knew just how to keep him content and happy; a schedule with 4 walks, mealtime, and most importantly a loving approach. I highly recommend Robert!”


“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”


“Julie was absolutely fantastic. She knows dog behavior very well and I completely trusted her with my 12 week old puppy who is very nervous. Julie went above and beyond to make sure my puppy was comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend!”


“Grace and her family provided excellent care for my dog Maisie. I have already scheduled two more visits! I recommend them without reservation. You will not be disappointed!”


“Michelle is amazing! She was so communicative and provided lots of pictures. Good updates and very receptive. She took the time to really listen to my dogs backstory. I knew my dog was being well taken care of and I would absolutely have her watch him again!”


“Da Yeon and her partner were great with Teddy! I think he’s mad to be coming home with me lol. Saved me when I had a vacation already planned and wasn’t planning on having Teddy at this time, felt super bad being a new cat mom having to leave, but he was in great hands.”


“Lindsay was quick to respond to all my messages and made it easy to arrange drop off and pick up. She sent a number of photos of my dog and took her for a number of long walks, just what the dog needs to balance her abundance energy. I would highly recommend her and will use her again.”


“One of the best providers on Rover! Amy is reliable, professional, and we can tell she truly enjoys caring for pets. If our pup could talk we are positive he would be asking us when he can go for another visit!”


“If you're seeking a loving, attentive and communicative caretaker for your dog/s, you will find all that and more with Manuela. My dogs and i spend 24/7 together and Manuela cared for my pups for the first time we were separated. Needless to say I was anxious and nervous about displacing my pups from their home, routine and familiar surroundings. With the compassion, positive and gentle energy, Manuela made the adjustment possible. Pics of the pups daily fun and nap times were always provided. I became relaxed and confident I made the right choice in selecting Manuela to create a loving home and comfortable environment for the 4 days of their "vacation", making my time away from them manageable. 🙏 Manuela and hugs from me and my pack til we see you again!”


“Andrew took care of our young Golden retriever during our spring break trip and he was amazing. He sent us updates and pictures on a daily basis and took such a good care of our puppy that is on a special diet and frequent meals. When we picked him up after a week, he was happy relaxed and in great shape. Thank you so much for the amazing extended care you provided to our dog !”


“Joan is wonderful! We had to book a last-minute stay because the sitter we booked through Rover canceled the morning of. Joan responded to me quick and was available for us to schedule a meet and greet in the morning to make sure it was overall a good fit. She (and her adorable dogs) were super sweet and welcoming. She sent me videos and pictures throughout Navi's stay and kept me updated. Navi loved Sammy and Emma and was so happy to have some sweet friends to play with! Thank you guys again for giving our sweet girl a comfortable and fun place to stay!”


“Emily and family were great! They fully welcomed Sally in to their home and treated her like one of their own. Emily was very flexible and easy to communicate with when a family emergency changed up our plans for Sally's stay. We will definitely request to rebook with Emily in the future :).”


“Excellent host! They send daily pictures and updates. My dogs looked so happy being in their home and backyard. Great communication and very flexible and accommodating.”


“Edith is a fantastic! My dog Maxx absolutely loves spending time with her. She keeps me well informed with regular updates and photos, so I never worry when I’m away. Edith is also very flexible with my schedule and has been very accommodating. I feel completely comfortable leaving Maxx in her care. Being new to Madison, we were lucky to have found her.”


“Christine did great with my energetic 10 month old golden retriever. I really appreciated the photo updates - I enjoyed my vacation more knowing that my puppy was having a good time and getting plenty of exercise.”



“Scott was so great! Came through and took such good care of Penny when we were in need last minute. She was happy and loved and we received nice updates. Will definitely have him watch Penny again.”


“Hope provided excellent communication and highly knowledgeable care for my senior dog. He felt so comfortable with Hope and they bonded during his five day stay with her. I was impressed and inspired by Hopes knowledge and attentiveness to detail. She keeps a regular daily routine that gave my dog so much reassurance and predictability, he quickly adapted. Hope was so dependable which gave me tremendous comfort while I was away. She quickly figured out his personality and his quirks and accepted him with humor, respect and love.”


“Janiece was really kind and patient with my super old senior pup who is almost 16. Super thankful for someone who is caring and understanding of an old pups needs.”
