Kathryn and Jeremy took excellent care of our dog Max while we were away for a week. From our first meeting with them, it was clear that they had experience taking care of dogs and were very understanding and knowledgable about our dogs unique care needs. We felt so comfortable leaving Max with them and when we picked him up it was clear he LOVED his time there and can't wait to see them again! Thank you Kathryn and Jeremy for taking such great care of Max!

As always Tyson loves visiting with Alan and Luis. He is always well taken care of and comes back so tired from all the fun. They send updates all the time and he always looks like he is having a blast.

Sean and Jill were great! They helped me very last minute and although I have a semi aggressive dog, they were very welcoming and not discouraged at all. Their house is perfect for dogs as they have a small doggy door. My dog followed Sean right into his house upon seeing him outside so he must have felt a good vibe haha. They also responded very quickly to messages and offered to feed him the same food they feed their dogs. Would 100% recommend them!!!

Haoran was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Molly and Olive! From start to finish, she went above and beyond with their care. She kept us consistently updated with thoughtful check-ins and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It was so clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for dogs—Molly and Olive were happy, comfortable, and clearly well loved the entire time. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Haoran and would not hesitate for a second to book with her again. Highest recommendation!

Jennifer and Inam were such great caretakers! I had a last minute trip for work and they were so flexible and accommodating on very short notice. I interacted mostly with Jennifer and I could tell how much love and care she pours into all the dogs. My pup was so sad to see her leave when it was time to go! Thank you for taking such great care of Olivia!!

Careen was wonderful with our senior dog and he loved her just as much as she loved him! She gave him lots of love and attention- I could tell he was very well cared for while we were away. We got lots of pictures and updates so I was completely at ease. We can’t wait to have Careen watch Shadow again!

She was accommodating of our rather last minute request and returned Mac happy and exhausted. Her house is clean and so well-equipped for a big mischievous puppy like Mac. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

Anita was responsive, courteous and very pleasant. It was my first time boarding our 6 month old puppy (Moose) so naturally I was a bit nervous beforehand. Anita did a lot to reassure me during Moose's stay and I was able to communicate with her regularly. Moose came back happy and tired after spending time with Anita and her family. I would definitely recommend Anita to anyone looking for a welcoming environment for their dog!

Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!

Tiffani [and her family] were such a wonderful fit for my precious Madison. Madison has never stayed any place overnight (aside from home), and my sister and I were extremely nervous to leave her anywhere- when family members were not an option. We went away for 8 nights and needed to ensure Madison was in great hands and loving hearts. Tiffani and her family went above and beyond to not only care for Madison, but make her feel like family. Wow! We were amazed! Tiffani sent lots of wonderful pictures/videos throughout the week and it helped us get through the week being away from Madison. Madison is sensitive and has separation anxiety, but she was loved so much during her week with Tiffani that we could literally see her comfort level blossom each day as more and more pictures were sent. My sister and I wondered if Madison would even want to come home, after such a fun week with cuddles upon cuddles upon cuddles. ???? We we’re so thankful, grateful and satisfied with our decision. Also, we were thrilled that Madison got daily walks each day and had playtime with the kids and (her new Rover lab sister) Mia. ? (Tiff has amazing kids by the way, who are guaranteed to smother your dog in love & giggles). When we went to pick up Madison, she didn’t recognize us and barked because she became so attached to Tiffani and family (haha!- great sign), and she was exhausted from having an amazing week. Now my sister and I only feel bad that Madison had to leave a place she fell so in love with, enjoyed, and where people loved her. That’s the impression Tiffani left on us and Madison. We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Tiffani was very tuned in to our Madison. Oh! And, even with us being out of country the communication was wonderful and consistent- every single day. We will absolutely book with her again if we need and she’s available. We are so grateful to have found her. ????
