1. Lawrencia C.
“Lawrencia and her dog, Duke, made sure our dog, Mina, had a great time while we were out of town for the night! This was our first time using Rover over a traditional boarding facility, and I don't think we'll ever go back. This was way more personal, and Mina loved making a new friend who matches her high energy level! They were great and we plan to use them again this weekend! Thanks for taking great care of our girl!”
2. Cailey P.

5. Amanda M.
“Amanda was great! Our Great Dane, Louie came home happy and exhausted! She kept us up to speed on how he was doing with updates and pictures so we didn’t worry at all while we were out of town. We’ll definitely use her again soon!”
6. Hallie S.
“This was our first experience using Rover. Hallie was wonderful! She treated our pup like her own, keeping us updated. He and her dogs became best friends, and everyday was a playdate! We could not be happier. We look forward to using her again!”

8. Joe P.
“Joe is so good with dogs! He takes them for walks and has a nice yard for them to play in! Everyday we got pics and videos of our girls to see just how much fun they where having!”
9. Jacob J.
“Jacob and his family are wonderful pet sitters! They had Jükka for five nights and I added another night midway through with zero problems! They were so friendly, communicative, and sent photos and updates multiple times a day. Not a worry in the world as I was six states away because I knew they had it all under control. My dog is a big dog and eats three times a day and they were great with any concerns and following his routine. Jükka came home smelling fresh and is a clean and happy boy. Could not recommend them enough! Jükka will definitely be coming back!”
10. Rachel K.
“Rachel took amazing care of Remi while I was away for a week. Remi has only stayed with my mom before and this was also the first time she was away from me for more than a week. Rachel sent me plenty of pictures and videos of Remi playing and cuddling with her dogs. Her food ran out and I was able to pay her to grab some more. I’m in the process of moving and wasn’t able to get to my car so Rachel even dropped Remi off for me! Great experience all around thank you!!!”
11. Tess W.
“Tess is an AMAZING caretaker who not only welcomed our senior dog Lynore into her home as one of her own, but also helped alleviate this (admittedly) nervous helicopter parent of any remaining concerns by sending regular video and picture updates to my wife and I while we were across the country and away from our little girl for the first time! Tess was not phased in the slightest by Lynore's somewhat complicated prescription schedule, administering everything asked of her with the competence and ease you look for in a fluffy caretaker! We could not have asked for a more caring, passionate, and competent caretaker for our Lynore while we were away. Tess is exactly the kind of person you want to look after your fur-baby with care and compassion!”
12. Katie S.
“Katie took excellent care of our dog. Her two dogs were well-behaved, and ours seemed to really enjoy hanging out with them. Katie gave regular pupdates and pictures. Would definitely book with her again.”
13. Erica A.
“I have known Erica for the last 8 years. She has watched my 3 dogs many, many times and they absolutely love her! She also has 2 rescue dogs of her own that are so loved and have the best care. Erica is extremely responsible, reliable and most of all, loving. You will never meet a nicer person. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets.”
14. Sally B.
“Sally was an amazing sitter! She let us bring our dogs over to her house to meet her before we booked to make sure we felt comfortable boarding them with her. She also sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were on our trip like we asked her to. Our dogs were in good hands with Sally!”
15. Adam F.
“Adam was wonderful! The dogs had a great time. His backyard is great for dogs to run and play, and he knows a lot about dogs and their behaviors. Will definitely book with Adam again!”
16. Kelsey S.
“Kelsey has watched my dog a number of times on overnight dog sitting. She has a profound love of all animals especially canines and felines. She treats the animals in her care as her own. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet(s) as I will continue utilizing her services. Thank you.”
17. Erika J.
“My senior dog had some separation anxiety issues and Erika was very gracious about it! Will definitely book again the next time I need someone to watch him.”
18. Megan M.
“Megan was a great dog sitter for Cooper! She was very nice throughout the booking process, asked lots of important questions that I hadn’t thought to mention, and even accepted our booking request even though it was so last minute. We would definitely book with Megan again!”
19. Ellen F.
“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”
