7. Nancy C.
“Nancy, a close personal friend, absolutely loves all animals, but especially dogs. I have watched her lovingly care for two different pets, including her present dog, Miss Bailey. She loves to take Bailey on long walks, always speaks to her in patient loving tones. Nancy faithfully takes her dog for check-ups and shots as well as grooming facilities. It is evident that both her pooches truly adore her too.”


8. Dylan S.

“Great with our pug. Kind when we got back later than planned. Very informative on things I didn’t understand about dogs. Amazing yard for her to play in.”


9. Halle G.

“Halle and her family did a wonderful job caring for our two Labrador retrievers. They gave them a lot of love and attention think exercise too because they were tuckered out when we brought them home. They have a nice neighborhood w sidewalks and a beautiful home with a big fenced in backyard. She was also very flexible with our earlier pick up time and later drop off times. Could not have felt better about who we left them with.”

12. Emilyn P.

“Emilyn was so wonderful with Sassy. She consistently sent pics and was very warm and welcoming. I would definitely leave Sassy with her again!”


13. Lael S.

“We have one easy dog (though not too easy because he is still a puppy and not fully potty trained) and a challenging 5 year old maltese that doesn't trust easily. Leaving him has always been a challenge. We've never felt so comfortable being gone from him as when Lael had him. I don't mind being away from him but I worry about him being trouble for the person keeping him. He wasn't an easy keep for her but she was so open to letting him warm up and adjust to her. By the last couple days he was snuggling on her lap and following her around like he does with me. She also was great with our puppy and continuing his potty training. He in particular loved running in her big, fenced yard with her dogs and having access to a doggy door. While we were gone she sent videos and pictures and gave us regular updates. What a great experience for us and our fur babies. Thank you Lael.”


14. Irina C.

“My baby boy Gus stayed with Irina and her family for 8 days. She was absolutely amazing! She sent me pictures or videos everyday I was gone. She made our time away from him so much easier. He came home one wore out boy! ❤️ She will be my person anytime he needs a place to stay! Thank you Irina for making Gus so happy and safe while we were away, YOU’RE AMAZING!!”


15. Tracy B.

“We had to go out of town last minute and Tracy was quick to respond to our messages. She even offered for a meet and greet even though it was such short notice. She was so kind and our pup Churro had such a fun time at her place with her two dogs. We are so happy we found her and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”


16. Kim P.

“Kim was great. It was super nice to get some Pictures over the weekend our pup definitely had fun as her mini boarder collie was up for playing. Will definitely use her again.”


17. Ashleigh B.
“Ashleigh is really caring for all kinds of animals. Great space and great environment for any kind of animal! She even has a spacious back yard for animals to run around in.”


18. Kris J.
“I have known Kris for over 20 years. I have found her to be a very competent dog owner and trainer. She has trained dogs for police work, drug detection, and search and rescue. She has raised and bred top quality dogs since before I have known her. Very perceptive of their habits and temperments. She is an excellent trainer and caretaker. I would trust her with any type or size of dog.”


19. Shirley G.

“Shirley made our fur babies feel like they were at home. Better experience than a kennel. Our Yorkies loved her dog Teddy. First time we used Rover, so far has been the happies our fur babies have been. Seen photos of them playing and snuggling on laps. Appreciate Shirley and the entire experience.”


20. Morgan P.

“I could tell Morgan was going to be a great fit for Penelope to stay with! Her house was very welcoming and she had young kids for Penelope to play with! The kiddos even made the cutest drawing for us with her picture on it. They were all great and I know who we will be using for now on!”
