“Polar B always has the best time with Mariah and her pups. She is always willing to chat with me about training methods, behavior, and everything else dog related. We switched to in home doggy daycare as most places were way too big. I no longer worry about Polar B getting sick or worrying about other dogs’ behavior as Mariah always keeps a close eye on them. Couldn’t recommend more !”

11. Ashley C.
“5 Stars: Amazing Experience with Ashley! I have had incredible experiences with Ashley through Rover. From the start, it was clear they were professional, compassionate, and genuinely cared about my dog. Wren can be a bit shy around new people, but Ashely took the time to get to know her and made her feel comfortable right away. They sent regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. I could tell Wren was having a great time because he was always so happy and relaxed in the photos. It was also nice that Ashley asked about her routine and any special needs, making sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be using their services again in the future. Thanks again for taking such great care of my pup!”

“Matt was very considerate and understanding of my needs for day sitting for my pup. My pup is sensitive and expressive when it comes to those he engages with. He for sure liked Matt, most times if my pup didn't like someone he does not approach them or leave my side. With Matt he willingly went with him whenever I had to leave. Overall my experience with Matt was great. Matt was very flexible, kind, and engaging.”

17. Marissa H.
About: Hi! I absolutely love dogs. Have a two year old medium/small sized dog who loves play dates but also doesn’t mind staying in another room if other dogs aren’t friendly! She also doesn’t bother other dogs unless they come up to her to play. I will treat your dog as if it were my own. I work part time during the week, twice a week on a random schedule for around 7 hours or less and home all night. Weekends are completely free. I live in a very nice area, can go for walks, go to the dog park, my dog loves playing with other dogs, and i have a crate.
18. Alisa G.
“Alisa was so helpful with taking care of our puppy! She had him over for doggy daycare 3x/week for almost 6 weeks. She was always very responsive, helpful, and easy to work with, even willing to help to train our pup, which requires so much patience and attention. Our puppy clearly liked going over to her place and came back happy and tired from a long day of playing every time. Would definitely use again and recommend!”
19. Lindsey M.
“Lindsey was super communicative and loved our dogs. We have one dog that is very reactive in unfamiliar situations and Lindsey handled her as a pro.”
20. Connor E.
“My friend Connor watched my dog Snickers many times and did a great job. He followed the instructions I left for him and went above and beyond to play with Snickers and send me some great photos. Even when Snickers had a hard time seeing and hearing, I never hesitated to ask Connor to watch him because I knew he would take great care of him. I’d definitely recommend Connor as a pet sitter; he’ll take great care of your pet every time!”
