“Penny looks like she had a nice time staying with Adam and we would use his services again (if he's available). He provided updates when requested and was transparent about an altercation Penny had with another dog (who surprised her). I recommend Adam as a sitter!”

“Megan was fantastic! Super flexible and helpful as I had a last-minute change in sitters and needed one in a pinch. She was great at sending updates and pictures. My dog came home worn out which means I know he had a great time with lots of activity. Would definitely rebook with Megan in the future!!”

“Marcos is absolutely the best! He takes such great care of our two dogs when we travel. He is a wonderful communicator who sends pictures and sends texts while he is taking care of our dogs. He is also so accommodating. Thank you, Marcos!!”

“Really glad I found Volkan & Monica and the kids and Peanut to watch my pooch. While I think my dog is pretty easy to babysit, he has never been with people outside the family for an extended time. He came back just like I dropped him off, only TIRED!!! (Not smelly, not with runny poop, not with attitude from getting abandoned.) He has alot of energy and curiosity so its great that the whole gang kept him occupied. So happy I can drop him off without worries.”

“Tammy had a great setup with plenty of beds and comfy spaces for Dolly. Dolly loved the personal attention and wanted to immediately go back inside at pickup, a great sign! Tammy is responsive and responsible, and we were very happy with her!”

About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup. We keep small playgroups of 15 to 20 dogs. We take hourly potty breaks, have toy playtime, outdoor mini pool pawties in the summer to keep cool, and so much more!

“I had a last minute emergency and had to leave town and my pup behind. Thankfully, Rachel and Vincent were accommodating and flexible! I got plenty of communication with questions and updates throughout the day, putting me at ease. Thank you so much!”

Deanna M.

“Christian took great care of Cinnamon! She can be nervous around new people and, based on the great photo updates he sent, I could tell they were fast friends! He was communicative and quick to respond to messages. We would be happy to have him watch Cinnamon anytime, and plan to book him again!”

“Emilie is such a FANTABULOUS find on Rover!! Top notch sitter, truly. Pretty sure my dog enjoyed her stay with Emilie more than I enjoyed my vacation out of state, lol! And her professionalism/trustworthiness made me feel so comfortable despite my initial anxiety for 5 nights away from my dog. Some highlights: Frequent potty breaks and walks, awesome location to explore for dogs by lakefront, an amazing dog to befriend in Bear (so easy-going, gentle, friendly, a great model for a pup to look up to!), can do pickup and dropoff, generally smart with dogs, heard my details requested and followed through on them (feeding, nightime routine, even training exercises my dog does daily, etc.), sincerely cared about my dog's wellbeing (updates were so sweet!), on-time, clear communicator, just all-around A++!”

Madelyn B.

“Merrick took great care of Charlotte this past week. It was obvious that Charlotte felt very welcomed and cared for. The daily pictures and updates we received gave us peace of mind. I rebooked our next hosting without hesitation. Thanks again for the great service. -Dan”

“Myriam was amazing! 100 stars! She is very intuitive, a great communicator and very caring with my furry friend! I would recommend Myriam to anyone and everyone. Thank you!”

“Kristina did an excellent job looking after our basset hound Franklin. He’s an old boy with a few extra needs. She took good care of him and shared pictures of him each day on his walks. We definitely would recommend her and hope to have her watch Franklin again.”

Joseph G.

“Eloisa is an absolute sweetheart and takes such great care of my baby! She has watched my dog twice now and both times my baby came was happy throughout her stay and returned happy and healthy (and worn out from the fun she was having!) She always keeps me updated throughout the stay and goes the extra mile to make her comfortable. 10/10 I highly recommend!”

Laura S.

“Michelle is the best! She provides updates, pictures, and our dog loves her! He’s usually nervous eating in new places but he thrives when he stays with her.”

Joanna S.

“Amalia and her family welcomed Boris for his second stay with open arms! It truly is a doggy vacation for him. Amalia sends cute photos and updates about his stay and takes great care of our senior dog on a special diet. We are thankful we found Amalia and plan to board with her for all of our future vacation needs!”
