“Brianna and her entire family took great care of Pike while we were away. They welcomed him into their home and made him feel a part of the family. We couldn’t have asked for a better River experience! Thank you! ?”
2. Kristy H.
“Kristy was such a wonderful Rover sitter! She took care of my two dogs just like she would take care of her own pups. I especially appreciated the photos she sent, and all the exercise (and snuggles) she gave my dogs. Highly recommend! Thank you, Kristy!”

5. Mikailia S.
“We had an excellent experience with Mikailia. She was refreshing, friendly, and reassuring from the start. Throughout Louie’s stay, Mikailia was very responsive and kept us updated, which really put us at ease. When we picked Louie up, it was clear he enjoyed his time—he even said goodbye to Mikailia before leaving! We highly recommend her services and would absolutely book with her again.”
