“This was first experience using Rover overall and I'm genuinely happy that it was with Boris. He was very quick to respond to all communication and was really great to work with. My dog Duke had a great time being there and enjoyed the company of Boris's dog. Boris provided photos and videos throughout the few days Duke was with him. Great experience and I will be using Boris again!”
“Thank you Julia for everything! She sent updates on how my dog Autumn was doing. I felt comfortable leaving Autumn with Julia and we will continue booking with her for when we go out of town 😊”
“Michelle’s home is a second home retreat for our three year old lab mix. Miles adores going to Michelle’s and it’s a great reflection of the kind care and warmth that she shows to the pets she cares for. We never hesitate to book Michelle! She has many processes in place to ensure direct communication and a safe and loving environment for the pets that she cares for. I interviewed many Rover sitters for our dog and Michelle was above and beyond the only one I felt comfortable with and she has exceeded our expectations every time. Thank you, Michelle!”
“Ryan and Laura were great! We got several updates and pictures throughout our dog’s stay. Our dog didn’t enjoy the outside fenced in area like we thought she would so they were very accommodating to let her spend more time inside.”
“Leigh and Richard were absolutely amazing. They took such good care of our pup and treated her like their own. Our dog is super shy and attached to me and at the end of our trip, she didn’t even want to leave! I can’t recommend them enough, your dog will be in such good hands. We are happy we found our go-to sitter. Thank you so much Leigh and Richard!”
“Rhondarose gave us multiple updates and pictures which was so great since this was the first time our pup was cared for outside of family. Cocco was able to run and play with other dogs and it was an easy transition with Rhondarose’s family. We are so grateful and already planned our next booking!”
“Everything went well included meet and greet before boarding. My 8 month puppy Mochi enjoyed playing and get along with their dog Loki. Mr and Mrs. Ganesh took care of Mochi nicely and being patient even she had accident then tied for more often potty breaks for solution. They shared Some videos and pictures .”
“Mason had such a great time with Dar, Dakota (her dog) and her family. Dar provided great updates while we were out of town, along with pictures, and we loved knowing that he was in good hands while we were away. We will for sure be using Dar again in the future.”
“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”
“Our lab, Mabel, was very well cared for and happy! Mary provided updates and answered any questions that arose. Looking forward to future visits!”
“First time leaving our pups with Marta, and she was awesome to work with! So friendly, took such good care of our girls, sent pics and regular updates. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”
“Dotty had a great time with Mike and his wife. He really kept me up to date on her stay. She spent time napping on the couch and playing with the other dogs. I think Trouble was her favorite. I wouldn't have her stay with anybody else from now on. We absolutely recommend.”
“Highly recommended !!! It’s our first time leaving our dog, and you know how hard it is. Rover saved us! Thanks to Kyle we knew that our dog is in good hands! We couldn’t be happier and thankful. Kyle was always available and shared pictures and videos of our little boy. His will to keep us posted at all times just made us feel so calm. Wants to be satisfied like us? Kyle is your guy!”
“Michelle took great care of our dog. She is very organized, thorough and responsive. She has a lovely home and a very big and gentle dog who will make a great friend to any dog guest. She definitely spoiled our dog! Highly recommended.”
“We entrusted our Pomeranian to Erena's care during our one-week trip. Since our dog doesn't get along well with other dogs, Erena's home was the perfect choice as she doesn't have dogs of her own and is experienced in taking care of them. She sent us updates with photos every day, which gave us peace of mind. She also understood and followed our detailed instructions perfectly. If our schedules align, we would definitely love to ask for her help again.”
“Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.”
“Great! Sent lots of pictures- my dog was very happy there. Great family! Thank you very much!”
“Can’t say enough nice things about Christine! Responsive, kind and understands older dogs. I will have Coco stay with her again! So grateful to Christine!”
“Eileen is excellent! My dog stayed for a week and loved it there. We did a one night trial previously just to make sure everything would be good for a long stay. My dog is older and more chill than most and he fit right in with Eileen's dog. There's a back yard and plenty of spaces indoors and out. Eileen took the dogs on many walks, helped my dog deal with some seasonal allergies and sent several pictures and updates throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“We could not have selected a better home for Jussi to spend the week in. Rather than just agreeing to board Jussi, Vicki wanted to know as much about Jussi's character & needs beforehand so that she could tailor her care appropriately. Moreover, Vicki was not only not put off by her particular age-related difficulties, she was extremely sympathetic & understanding. The updates we received while on vacation showed Jussi active & interacting with other dogs on hand, & it was clear she received all the love & attention she needed. Boarding Jussi with Vicki & her family was an excellent experience & we will not hesitate to seek out her services in the future. Thank you, Vicki, for loving & caring for our Jussi in our absence.”
