1. Cheyenne O.
“Cheyenne was a savior. She agreed to board our pet (Snowball) when we had a last minute cancellation. She was very quick to provide a response when we reached out via the Rover app to have a quick meet and greet and agreed to board snowball. Sure was very considerate and understanding our angst about staying away from our pet and regularly shared Snowball's photos. Snowball had a great time with waffle and Cheyenne's family. She took extra care to feeding snowball when snowball was missing us, took her on walks and hike, treated her with ice cream and went out of her way to give snowball a bath and made her smell really good with aromatic oils. We were very lucky to find someone as caring as Cheyenne and her family, so much so that we already planned to board Snowball with her in our upcoming trip. Thank you for taking so good care of her.”
2. Amber E.
“Amber and her family did a wonderful job with our fur babies ! Daily morning and evening pictures and updates of our boys ! Would recommend and would definitely book again !”
3. Karen & Donald I.
“You will never find a better sitter for your furbaby than Karen and Donald. They love animals. They are like family to my Jax. Sometimes I think he likes being there more than he likes being home!”
4. Glenn B.
“I’m so grateful for the love and affection our senior dog received while under Genn’s care. Glenn and his wife went above and beyond to make sure we were updated and treated our girl like one of their own family pets. Highly recommend Glenn’s pet sitting and boarding!”
5. Laura R.
“Laura, her family and the other dogs are now part of my dogs vacation visits. They like going, have a blast in the yard and with the gang and I feel comfortable having them there. Snoopy and Patches will be staying there for all of my work trips.”
6. Sarah F.
“Sarah was great!! She took my pups at the last minute and was very flexible with the drop off/pick-up times. They were happy with Sarah and she kept them separated from the larger dogs for which I'm grateful. I would definitely recommend Sarah and would use her again!!”
7. Karter M.
“My doggo was played out after staying here. I appreciated that they had a backyard. They watched my dog's food intake for me to make sure she was eating. I got photos every day and will use them again!”
8. Kristy & William L.
“I felt comfortable leaving my dog here. Seemed well cared for! I loved getting pictures/updates showing my Coco so cozy and snuggled! Thank you!”
9. Jamie H.
“I’m new to the area so I was a little nervous about trusting my dog with anyone especially overnight, but Jamie took great care of my Nina. She sent me pictures of my dog warming up to her. My dog seemed to have a good time. If I go out of town again I will definitely be booking with Jamie again!”
10. Anna W.
“Anna was the best! In the few moments I got to meet her I could tell right away she's a very empathetic, kind and caring person. She is passionate about animals and is great at understanding their behavior and adapting to it. She has her own dogs which are very well taken care of and better trained than my Bara, mine is an only-puppy so it helped with socializing her! She gave me daily updates with very detailed info on my puppy's day and tons of photos and videos. She played with her, gave her tons of treats, took her out on walks and even had movie night with her! I didn't have to worry at all. She completely won my Bara's heart.”
11. Daniela B.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals (doggies, cats, goats, turtles, birds, etc.) Since I was a little girl I always had a passion for caring for animals and treating them with love and respect. I’m currently working on getting my bachelors in social work online and almost home all the time; so I have plenty of time to care for your furry best friends. I have a fenced yard and enough space inside the house where the pets can play and have a good time away from home. I can also crate your fur baby if necessary. I have a 5 year old friendly cocker spaniel and a short hair american kitty who loves to play.
12. Rachade W.
“Rachade made sure I was updated throughout the entire stay, with pictures and videos. My pup can be a little nervous with strangers at times but seemed to love his weekend with Rachade! Highly recommended!”
13. Devorah R.
“I am new to the app and i was a little nervous at first however Devorah was lovely ! She was also very understanding when i was having some car trouble last minute when it was time to drop my fur baby off ; she came to pick him up with no problem and was very welcoming from the beginning. She kept me updated with pictures & kept in contact with me the whole time . When i arrived to pick my baby up my fiancé and i were greeted by her husband he came to introduce himself & he was great as well . He let us know he took the initiative to kind of train my pup as he is still young and does need a little more guidance & i really appreciated that. We will definitely be booking with them again, my baby is the only baby at home to know he had a great time with her dogs as well i can say he now has some new friends for the near future . I just want to say Thank you so much for everything !”
14. debbie w.
“I left my dog, Dexter, with Debbie and Phil for a 4-day weekend and they could not have taken better care of him. I got plenty of picture and text updates without ever having to ask. They have 4 dogs of their own and they treated mine just like theirs! Dexter hardly wanted to leave when I picked him up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing to board their fur baby while they are away. It made my trip that much more enjoyable knowing that Dexter was being taken care of very well. Thank you, Debbie and Phil!!”
15. MARIJEIMI & David M.
“MariJeimi and David did an amazing job watching our Peanut and Hershey - you can tell they truly love and care for animals. They gave us great peace of mind while away with frequent updates/photos on how they were doing. They truly went the extra mile to make sure our pups felt welcome. Both our babies looked like they felt right at home with them and were treated fantastic! It's tough finding the right people to trust with your fur babies but if you've been lucky enough to land on this profile you have to look no further. We definitely will be using them again in the future and are so thankful we found them to care for our pups.”
16. Jahada-Heaven G.
“My dog always has a happy, fun and safe time at Jahada-Heaven’s house. She has a big heart for dogs and takes extra good care of them. I will always use her services and recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter.”
17. Ashley F.
“Ashley was very sweet & punctual as well as flexible with the time of pick up and drop off. My coco seemed as tho he had a great time when picking him up from Ashley . She helped me a great deal when coco decided to be mischievous and chew his harness lol she was kind enough to lend him an extra one she had which we gratefully appreciated. She seems very trustworthy and genuine and i would love to have my coco board with her again . Great experience.”
18. Jennifer F.
“Misty was well taken care of and definitely enjoyed her stay. We'll definitely be booking with Jennifer again when we have pet sitting needs.”
19. Tayanna L.
“Tayanna accepted my booking in minutes. She told me a little bit about herself and shared pictures of other dogs she has dog-sat. That helped me feel more comfortable. She was super flexible about pick-up and drop off time (I ran a few times by her ahead of time). She sent me lots of videos and pictures of Teddy while I was gone for 5 days. Teddy, my dog, is sweet, but he can take off running for hours if a door is left open. That made me nervous to even try a dog-sitter. Tayanna assured me that Teddy would always be safe with her. Tayanna never had a problem walking Teddy and keeping him safe. I will use her again if I need a dog sitter again :-) And she gave him a cute nick-name: "Sir Teddy." I thought that was cute :-) Tayanna was great!”
20. Joann & Angelina P.
“This is my 2nd time entrusting Joann & Angelina with my baby. He returned home safe and sound. Thank you.”
