This was my first time using the Rover app for my 9 week old puppy and Gina was amazing! She took such good care of my little one and gave him plenty of love! She had awesome communication, sent us pictures throughout his stay, and was very flexible with my work schedule. I would 100% recommend to anyone and will definitely be booking again.

Daniel and his wife took excellent care of my dog. My boy is a senior dog currently taking some medication; they made sure he was well feed and got his medicine on time. I received several text messages, videos, and pictures during my dog's stay with them. Also, they have an awesome dog named Maxwell. Maxwell was a excellent companion for my old boy. I look forward to working with them again in the future whenever I have to travel. Thanks again! ❤️??

About: Hi, my name is Emily! I am available for boarding. I’m new to rover, but have many years of experience caring for dogs! I’m a small-dog lover and have one of my own. My dog loves having other dogs over for company! I am reliable and organized. When you entrust your dog with me, you can rest assured that they’ll be treated with the best care and attention! I work from home, so I’m home often. As a dog owner, I am very used to revolving my schedule around a dog’s needs and the constant care. Safety is a priority. My home is kept very clean and tidy at all times. I have a fenced yard! No children live with me.

AWESOME!! Margie was the perfect sitter for our little guys respite! This was our first time ever being away from one another for more than a couple of days and he stayed with Margie for the whole week. She was very patient with both of us, and sent us messages and pictures everyday. We take a week vacay once a year and will definitely be reaching back to to make sure she’s available.

I will be using Qais for all my boarding needs from now on! Kept me updated on their day to day, send multiple photos and videos, and made sure the dogs were stimulated by taking them on long walks through trails. He truly cared about my dogs and made sure that their experience was stress free and comfortable for them, which I appreciate greatly.

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little. I’ve taken care of, feed played with and walked family and friends dogs and always made sure they were safe I’m currently not working so I have time to play and walk with your pups. I am able to board any day of the week at anytime! I do not have a fenced in yard but can assure you that your pups will be safe at all times. I have an older dog (8 yrs) who is the absolute best with other puppies!

Nikki did an amazing job with our girl Esmae! Not only did she take amazing care of her, she kept us in the loop with pictures and videos of how she was doing while we were away. She was very fast to respond when I first reached out. She even taught Esmae how to play fetch. She didn't JUST watch her she loved on her and made her feel welcomed and comfortable. She took her on walks and had play time in the backyard, and cuddled time before bed. Thank you again Nikki!

Charlotte was absolutely wonderful with our 1 1/2 year old bernedoodle, Wren. She treated her like one of her own and even took her to our local dog park (that we are also members of) for extra outside play with other dogs. She sent lots of pictures and videos, was super responsive and communicated throughout our time away. Wren was super happy and playful when we picked her up which is a testament to how comfortable and well taken care of while we were away! We hope to have Charlotte care for her again the next time we’re away.
