We're entriely comfortable leaving our dog with Jenevieve. She has great communication, and gives us regular updates while our dog is staying with her. Her pup Roman is a great host as well and makes our dog feel right home. They've become the best of pals!

Jaden was great with our senior dog! He sent lots of pictures and updates. He was patient with him and some of our dog’s quircks. We liked the fenced in yard and the freedom he had in his house. Will definitely use again!

Lisa took care of our baby when we're out of town. She sent me regular updates which felt really nice. We were able to visit her place before booking to ensure our dog will get along with Missy. I will definitely recommend her. Thank you

This was my first time leaving my senior rescue pups with a Rover sitter. Alexandra was patient with my dogs and the time it took them to settle in, get comfortable and bark less. Appreciated her prompt responses and communication. Her setup was great for my dogs and she has a giant fenced in backyard!

Madison was amazing watching our dog, Gator. She sent tons of pictures and we were confident Gator was in safe hands with Madison. It is evident she cares so much about the pups she takes care of and best of all, Gator came home happy and tired. We won’t hesitate to call her again in the future!

Ajit and Sabera did a wonderful job taking care of our high energy dog. Always very prompt in responding, sent photos of the dogs playing throughout his stay to reassure us he was having fun and made us feel very comfortable with our first time using Rover! Thank you for taking such great care of Gordon!

We were worried about leaving our dog for 5 days with someone we didn't know and he hadn't stayed with before. That worry wasn't needed. Patty knew I was worried and was wonderful! We got pictures, videos, and comments about how the days were going twice a day. Patty loves and is knowledgeable about dogs and the wonderful care they get shows that. Our guy was obviously fond of Patty and we will definitely book with her again.

Amazing!! Samantha took great care of my dog and was always interested in learning more ways she could show him love while boarding him! Even though my dog tends to be shy and have a hard time warming up around new people, he LOVED spending time with her and her dogs. Every picture and video she sent was filled with lots of tail wags and smiles. Definitely would book with her 100 more times.

Evan and his family took good care of Scout. He was happy, well-fed, and comfortable. I was a bit worried to leave him with a new sitter for a full week but my fears were unfounded. I will certainly have Evan take care of Scout in the future.
