“Tonja and George love for animals shines through the minute you meet them! They sent photos and updates daily. Very pleased with their services.”


“Olivia saved the day! Had a last minute cancellation by my regular boarding arrangement. She even offered to pick up and drop off my puppy. My dog had a great stay and came home happy.”


“Rebecca was wonderful. Had to make a last minute reservation and she did it no problem. Nice area for Kali to play outside and her dogs were great playmates. I got updates and pics daily. Will be keeping Rebecca on my short list.”


“Paul was simply awesome. We always knew how our dog was doing and were 100% comfortable the entire time. Gus went on so many walks that he never had time to miss us and even though he was happy when we returned from vacation we could tell that he was in no hurry to leave Paul either. I can not recommend Paul highly enough.”


“Kristen is the absolute best!! She let us come meet her and her doggy, Shadow, prior to booking. While we were away, she provided daily updates with pictures and overall was great at communicating through the entire process. She is so sweet and took great care of my 4 month old Rottweiler! I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to feel confident that their fur baby is happy and safe while they’re away!”


“Kate was extremely kind when we first met. She was caring and focused on making Piper feel safe. She assured us that all of our needs would be met, and went beyond to make sure Piper felt at home. She sent pictures and a video after we asked for some to make sure things were going good. When we picked up Piper, she ran to Kate and jumped up almost as if to say goodbye. Kate was wonderful, and we highly recommend choosing her!”


“Tucker had so much fun he slept for an entire day upon his return home. He ran around playing, went on walks, went swimming, and had two really cool dogs and a great family to do it all with. I will always use Felicia and Greg for as long as they decide to keep doing this. I don’t go away much but I know if and when I do, I have the most wonderful place for my dog to stay. I could not be more satisfied, Thank You!”


“Darlene took good care of Tito while we were away. I like that she only takes 1 dog at a time because Tito would be overwhelmed if there are multiple dogs because of his size and it also was the first time leaving him without his big mastiff mix brother (crossed the rainbow bridge). Darlene communicated updates and pictures and we were assured he was in good hands.”


“Madison was amazing . This is our second time using her and she was great ! She truly cares for animals and takes the extra step to make sure our little one is comfortable and happy. Thank you Madison !”


“We are so happy to have found CJ! She took excellent care of our little Ava and treated her like family. Ava became fast friends with CJ's dog Beau and they enjoyed hanging out and playing with each other. We really appreciated all the updates, videos and pictures that showed us how much fun she was having, which made us relax and have a good time on our vacation, knowing Ava was in great hands. Thanks again CJ for the meet and greet before her stay and for watching Ava. We appreciate all that you do!”


“Great communication, nice people and they genuinely seemed liked the my enjoyed taking care of my girl Athena. I definitely would book again.”


“It was so easy to drop off and pick up with Karina! She was very responsive and sent multiple pics of our pups every day. We would definitely recommend Karina to any of our nearby friends and would use her again in a heart beat!”


“Joshua is great! He responds very quickly too. My Boston can be skidish being around new people, new items, and new dogs. He went right up to Josh like he knew him. He watched my dogs over night and everything went very smoothly. He even sent me pictures to help me see them and how they were doing! Highly recommend”


“Vicki is wonderful, very patient with my Carmella who seems to be the devil when mom goes away. Highly recommend her service as a dog owner and caretaker.”



“So very thankful that Joseph was available. He took EXCELLENT care of our dog and kept us updated with photos. Would highly recommend booking with Joseph.”


“Gail was excellent! She kept us posted and up to date routinely. We were happy to work with her. She was friendly and we could feel that she really loves dogs. It was our first time using Rover to find a dog sitter. We had a more peculiar situation with a larger size timid dog. It helped knowing she was okay with just sitting only our dog for a few days since it seemed other sitters sometimes sat multiple dogs at once. A sitter with a fenced in yard was something we wanted to have, since in case walking our timid dog potentially was a challenge, the fenced in yard was an alternative for him doing his business. He warmed up well enough though. She was local to us so we didn’t have to drive too far. It was awesome she accepted a bigger dog since some sitters don’t. She had competitive rates at the time of listing in comparison to other Rover sitters that we were looking at. Overall if needed we could see ourselves requesting future bookings again.”


“Kristine took great care of our Old English Sheepdog. Leo felt right at home and seemed to make immediate friends with her dog. They were at ease, hung out together and slept together like a happy family. We had daily updates and picture from this weeklong boarding. Won’t hesitate to book Kristine for next years’ Melbourne trip”


“This was our second time boarding with Belle and she’s the best! Super happy with how she takes care of our pup, he is always so happy. She sends tons of photos and has great communication”


“Julia accepted my last minute booking and was great with London! She made me feel confident that my baby was in great hands. Thanks so much Julia!”



“Nancy did a great job taking care of Bella. She kept me posted, along with pictures, on the status of her daily. She was also extremely flexible with my departure and arrival times. I’d certainly rebook and recommend her to anyone else.”
