Family was very flexible with schedule and took Mira with just a couple days notice. They sent a lot of photos and videos and took great care of her.

I can not say enough good things! Jada ran right to her door when we go there for the meet and greet and on drop off day. After the meet and greet I knew we had found the right place and I had absolutely no worries leaving her there the night before we left town. We had multiple pictures every day and I could tell Jada was having as much fun on her vacation as we were having on ours. We will absolutely book with Jessica again. Thank You!

Sam is wonderful!! We went on a week-long vacation and never had one worry about our family pup while we were away. She sent pictures daily and when we picked up Lola we could tell she was well loved and cared for. Highly recommend!

Cynthia took great care of Brooks for a weekend stay. Her home and big backyard were perfect for him, and she kept us updated with photos and quick responses, which made us feel really comfortable. He clearly felt right at home — he almost didn’t want to leave! Friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.

Jessica took care of my dog Iommi for a long weekend while I traveled out of state for my brother's wedding. It was my first time leaving Iommi and Jessica was the perfect person to leave her with. I was admittedly anxious about leaving Iommi for the first time, but as soon as I arrived the morning of drop-off Jessica made me feel 100% at ease. She took care of Iommi like she was her own and I know Iommi had a great time staying with Jessica and her family and playing with her dog Rip. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for care for their pet! I will definitely be booking with Jessica again!

Memphis had a great time with Nicole! He came home tired & relaxed. She was so easy to work with; I had to make a small change in the reservation & it was no problem. I really appreciated that she checked in regularly & sent me pics of my pup getting snuggles. Nicole is a great find; we’re so happy to have this important piece of pet care figured out.

Alivia was an amazing sitter for Ares! She was incredibly attentive and made sure he had everything he needed while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, which kept me completely in the loop and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I could tell Ares was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Alivia to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!

Candace was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two dogs, Nico and Coco, as if they were her own. It was our first time using Rover, and Candace made it an exceptional experience. From the moment we met her and her family, we knew our pups were in good hands. They came back happy, healthy, and we could tell they had a blast! We are so grateful for the care and love Candace provided, and we will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!

Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.
