“This was our second time with María and Matthew, and once again they were fantastic! I feel so at ease knowing my fur baby is in such loving and reliable hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“I was really happy to receive updates every day how my dog is acting and feeling. Thank you for that! I know my dog was not very happy that we left him behind, but Patricia took a great care of him, even though he woke her at 4.30 am. 🙈 Sorry about that.”
“I was so nervous, leaving Bryce was a total stranger. I was a total wreck. Till I met Derrick all my fears went away. I felt like it was too good to be true. I didn't know people like Derek existed. He made me feel as though he could take care of Bryce better than I. So I felt Bryce was in the best possible care, which made me have the best vacation ever? THANK YOU SO MUCH DERRICKDERRICK!!!! LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AGAIN”
“I think my dog had a blast staying with Janelle! She was able to accommodate my last-minute boarding request and she kept me updated throughout the trip! Will definitely be using her again the next time we go out of town (:”
“Canela had an excellent stay. Communication with Christie was great, she is very welcoming, reassuring and flexible. Will definitely use her services again. Bonus: our dog lives to play with kids so she had a blast!”
“I cannot say enough good things about this family. We booked with them last minute after another sitting fell through and within 30 seconds of meeting them, any anxiety I had about leaving my 18 year old pup was gone. They provided wonderful updates along the way and even accommodated an extension. 10/10 recommend. I only wish they lived closer so we could use them more.”
“Kristyna took such great care of our pup while we were out of town! She sent us updates and photos twice a day and we could see how much fun our dog had with her - from neighborhood walks, outdoor play, to indoor puzzles! Thanks Kristyna!”
“Ashlee is amazing and extremely communicative. She is very loving and sweet with our dogs. We felt so comfortable with her like we had known her a long time. She sent many images of our poochies and was overall fantastic to work with. Will not book with anyone else”
“10/10 - my first time using Rover, Kristen was amazing with daily pictures for an extended stay for Theo. Will use again and highly recommend.”
“Thor enjoyed his stay and was so happy playing with other dogs! You can tell Nicole loves dogs and it’s a plus that she trains them there as well. My big boy had a blast and pictures were sent often!”
“It’s so nice to be able to drop off my dog and not worry about him. He not only gets the best care, he gets lots of love and thoroughly enjoys his stays.”
“I highly recommend Leigha. She takes good care of your 4 legged child. I could tell she loves dogs. She is also very accommodating to your dogs needs. And my doggie loves her.”
“Taylor is awesome! She took care of both my pups on such short notice. She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up around my flight times. She keep me updated with lots of picture during their stay. They came home just as happy as I left them. Will for sure use her again. Thank you, Taylor!”
