“Derek was truly wonderful…attentive, responsive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. He, his wife, and their sweet pups welcomed our little Bella like she was part of their own family. We especially loved the daily updates, photos, and videos, they brought us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Bella was having the best time with all the playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’re so grateful to have found Derek and will definitely turn to him again whenever we need someone to care for Bella. We wholeheartedly recommend him!!!”
“Bobbi and her family were wonderful at taking care of my dog Lemmy. He has separation anxiety and was completely fine with the extra care Bobbi gave him. Everyone in her family treat the dogs as their own and give them so much love”
“Lisa and her family were wonderful with our 2 boys, who are relatively new rescues. We had never left them with anyone before. She is kind and patient. Our boys were treated very well. She sent us daily updates. I highly recommend Lisa! We have already made another reservation with her.”
“Patricia and her family have been ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!! This was our first time we have ever had to leave our boy and go on a trip where he couldn’t come with us. Patricia has been great with communication since the moment we booked with her. We went to have a meet and greet. She had already read our profile. She made sure to have some of his favorite foods even on the first day for him to enjoy. She kept in regular contact with us and responded very quickly to messages. She sent pictures with regular updates. It was obvious our boy was very well cared for and loved. It was important for me to find someone with the schedule that fit most to what he is used to. Our boy is used to having someone home most of the time. Patricia’s schedule allows that. He was never left alone between Patricia and her sons. They did a fantastic job which definitely helped to ease our anxiety. Our boy was in very good loving hands while we were on our trip. Should we ever need Rover services again we will be repeat customers. Thank you so much to Patricia and her wonderful family!”
“Highly recommend Ben and Shannon! This is such a nice family. We felt so comfortable leaving our two dogs and could tell they were in great hands. They kept us updated the entire stay and took great care of our two babies. They made sure to send us pictures the whole stay which included adorable photos of their kids walking our dogs and cuddling with them. They really treated them like family. Our dogs were in the best care there and so loved! My husband and I kept joking that they may not want to come home haha. We will defintely book again!”
“Nicole was amazing!! My dogs were well cared for and very happy when i picked them up. She did everything possible to keep me informed while I was away. I am very thankful to her!!”
“Jess was absolutely wonderful with our dog Bella! Bella has a lot of anxiety, but Jess met her with a calmness that put us at ease right away. She took Bella on several walks (and even a run!), making sure she got plenty of exercise and attention. We also really appreciated the daily updates and photos, such great communication. We came home to a happy, well taken care of dog, and we couldn’t recommend Jess more!”
“Janelle and her family provided a wonderful place for Sully to stay over the holiday weekend. She sent several pictures which were fun to get while out of town. Sully enjoyed making friends with the other dogs and Janelle‘s kids. Hope to book again the next time I head out of town. Thanks, Janelle!”
“Leigha was so sweet and very good with our 7 month old pup who is full of energy. She kept us updated and sent photos so we could see how he was doing. We loved that! 1st time leaving our furbaby and she made us feel very comfortable. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her again. ?”
“Jan was amazing. I could tell she really cared about Ollie. She kept me updated with photos and details on his day. He loved all the walks and attention. He had so much fun, he came home and slept several hours. I would definitely book again with Janice”
“Cyntra has watched our dog on multiple occasions now. She provides updates and pics and is a great communicator. Thank you for always taking great care of our Pinto bean!”
“Kobe always has a great time with Kristyna and her family! She was able to take him in last minute and I am so grateful and he is so tired every time I pick him up. I also love all of the updates she sends, highly recommend.”
“Wesley loved his stay at Priscilla's house. Her whole family loved on him and we received updates every day. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“MaryKathryn was such a great petsitter for Cora. She was very responsive and super friendly. She really cared for Cora the way that Cora needed. Cora can be anxious in new spaces and with new people but she was very comfortable and content staying in their home. I highly recommend and will be using them in the future! Thank you!”
“Could not have been happier and at peace leaving my beloved dog with Jose and family. They showered Ginger with the attention, care and love that she needs and accustomed to. Jose was so attentive to her needs and communicated any questions that he had concerning Ginger's welfare. They went above and beyond what one pet owner can ask for. I expect a lot out of my pet's caretaker and Jose exceeded all of it. I will rebook them with no hesitation.”

We are so glad we found Monika! We have historically had trouble finding boarding for our Australian Shepherd, but Monika gave us peace of mind on our week long family trip. She was friendly, thoughtful, experienced, communicative, and clearly loves dogs! Every day she sent multiple pictures and updates and was very responsive to any questions we had. She also was kind enough to drop him off at our house when we returned from our trip. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving home away from home for their fur baby. We will definitely have her watch ours again on our next trip!
