1. Jennifer & Martyn G.
“Jennifer & Martyn were brilliant. This was my first Rover ever and I am so glad it was with them as they put my mind completely at ease. They took in my Leo with warm arms and treated him as their own. Not only did they, but also their lovely 11 year Beagle Maddie did as well. He almost didn’t want to leave his new friends!! Thank you thank you thank you, we will definitely be using Jen and Martyn again! :)”

7. Haley S.
“Haley was absolutely amazing! My old boy has some anxiety issues and Haley provided a comfortable and calm environment for him. He’s never stayed at someone else’s house before so I was pleasantly surprised at how well he did. I highly recommend booking a stay with Haley!”
8. Mandy M.
“We left our German Shepherd with Mandy for a week. She is an anxious and a reactive dog who is unsure of strangers. Mandy managed her so well that when we picked her up, we haven’t seen any signs of stress. Mandy having a fenced back yard was also an excellent benefit that our dog got to go out as much as she wanted. She enjoyed the week away with Mandy. You can leave your pets under Mandy ‘s care without hesitation.”
9. Kelly K.
“We loved having Kelly watch our boy Hank and take care of him while we were out of town. Kelly is so kind and sweet and she sent us pictures often so we weren’t worried our pup was okay while we were gone. Thank you Kelly! 🩵”

20. Olivia C.
“Olivia is wonderful. She took great care of our 17-year-old cockapoo Simba (also gave her Meds daily). She was very responsive and communicated with us daily, sending us daily photos of Simba’s adventures. Her home has a good setup for dogs with a fenced back yard. I highly recommend Olivia to care for your dog! I will certainly utilize Olivia in the future if needed.”
