“Brody just loves going to visit Jennifer! He has stayed with her twice, and each time, Brody seems to become a more confident, independent dog. I fully trust that I am leaving him in capable hands when I drop him off. The home environment that Jennifer provides is unbeatable. I would never send my dog anywhere else!”
“Simply fantastic! Jay makes things so easy and less worrisome when we have to leave our beloved furry kids behind. She sends pictures throughout the day and makes sure my 2 dogs maintain their feeding schedule and daily walks as they are used at home. This is now their vacation home. I’m so glad I found you, Jay, thanks!”
“My boy had a great time at Amber's house. He came back happy and tired; definitely got some much needed outside time, socialization, and cuddles. It was easy to coordinate drop-off and pickup, and I received updates and pictures during his stay.”
“On a scale of 1 to 10, Liz is a 10+ dog boarder/caregiver. It was quite apparent in the photos and videos she sent that my 2 girls felt loved and were very happy. They made new fur friends, having such a fun time playing with Liz's 2 oh so sweet pups. I would highly recommend Liz if you need dog boarding services.”
“Amanda and Scott were able to accommodate my kind of last minute boarding request and Oakley had the best time! I had such peace of mind while I was away for work. Lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, and you can tell they are experts!”
“Ashley and Brownie were great! I took our puppy to meet Ashley and her apartment was spotless and her dog was gentle and playful. Ashley was very comfortable answering all the questions of a new puppy mom and made me feel that my puppy would be happy in her home! I plan to use her again and would recommend her highly! Thanks, Ashley! Beverly Noffsinger”
“Our cat spent three weeks under Paul and Terri’s care. We received regular updates on our cat, and it was apparent they treated our kitty as if he was their own. His living conditions and care was superb. When we picked up our cat, he was super relaxed and in great condition. Kudos to Paul and Terri for being so caring and professional boarding animals left in their care.”
“Our two golden doodles loved their long weekend stay with Matt and Cooper (Matt’s adorable and gentle dog). Matt sent me lots of updates and pictures throughout their stay. We’ve already booked our next stay with Matt and Cooper and I’m just so glad to have a reliable and caring home for my dogs.”
“We can’t say enough about Savannah. She was an absolute godsend for our family. After driving for almost 8 hours and arriving at our hotel at 9 PM on a Friday evening, we found out that their pet friendly policy only applied to dogs. That was a major issue for us since we had brought our dog and our cat with us, sending us into an absolute panic. We sent a message to Savannah and not only did she respond immediately, but she brought us out of our panic by telling us to head right over with our sweet girl. During her time watching our Kitterz, she sent us pictures and updates daily, which let us know we left her in good hands. Going above and beyond, she invited us to visit during our vacation since she knew we were missing our girl. We wish there were more than 5 stars to rate her because she was incredible!”
“Ciara was great- she sent pictures the whole time we were gone and Liv didn’t even want to leave when we picked her up! And to make it even better Liv was exhausted and slept all day so we could unpack and settle in when we got home!”
“Peyton took good care of Kylo while we were traveling. She sent me updates about him time to time along with pictures so I was aware of how Kylo was doing. I highly recommend Peyton for keeping your furry friends while you need. Thank you once again Peyton !”
“Sheva is the best! This is about the 4th time our little guy has stayed with her and he loves it every time. We will only stop having him stay there if we or she moves away. Highly recommend.”
“Scott and Lyra took excellent care of our pup over Labor Day weekend. This was our pup’s second visit with them and he will spend another long weekend with them in a few weeks. They send pictures and updates, which we very much appreciate. We couldn’t recommend Scott and Lyra more! I was very hesitant to use Rover, but I’m so glad I did and will continue to book with Scott and Lyra. They will exceed your expectations.”
“We are overjoyed by our experience with this Rover. It was the first time we had ever left mom’s Chinese Crested with anyone since we brought her home 1-15-21 after mom’s funeral. We have taken her everywhere with us including to Gulf Shores Alabama. We were traveling with a long ferry ride this time and we couldn’t take her. We were updated with text, photos and videos that kept us from worrying about her. She looked very happy and we could concentrate on getting things done and getting back home. When we picked her up we were assured that she always has a safe and familiar place to stay if we needed to bring her back again. We couldn’t be happier with her weekend stay.”
“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
“Alyssa did an amazing job taking care of my dog Claire. She would send me update photos throughout my trip to ease my stress about how Claire was coping with us being gone. The difference between how happy Claire was when we returned proved that Alyssa is an incredible sitter and value compared to local kennels in the area.”
“Ryan and Stephanie are wonderful! My Charlie had such a good time! I am sure if he wants to come home! Thank you Ryan and Stephanie for taking care of our ? pup”
“Raye is great! My dogs has stayed with her multiple times and each time I feel as though my dog is taken care of, loved, and has so much fun with her! She’s flexible with scheduling and communicates very well! No complaints about her!”
