“This was our first time having our newly adopted boys stay with a sitter while we were away from a wedding. We are so thankful we came across Karen’s profile because she turned out to be the perfect match! Karen and her family provided lots of love to our dogs, sent many photos of their time together, and she was very responsive and thorough in all of her communications. Our boys came very happy and so did we! We will be looking for Karen again in the future and we highly encourage others to do the same!”
“Thank you SO much for taking the best care of Louie, Elizabeth!! I can tell he had the best time with you and you spoiled him with snuggles!! I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone who wants a caring, loving babysitter for their fur baby. We will be using Elizabeth again for our next vacation!!”
“Monika is an animal lover. Our pup received personalized and loving care with Monika. We were in good hands and so grateful for her care. We received frequent updates and pics, ensuring us that our pup was happy. 5 stars!”

“Betty had an amazing time! She came home happy and well exercised. Sitter was very attentive and always sending photos and videos. I never worried at all about Betty’s care. I know she was very well taken care of and had a great time!”
“Kelly is amazing, I booked very last minute with her because a previous sitter I booked the week prior fell through. With only 2 hours notice she was flexible to accept our pup for a weekend as we headed out for camping. She gave important updates and assured our dog was happy and healthy. Will definitely be returning!”
“Tonya made our pup feel so loved with plenty of cuddles and walks! Willow felt comfortable right away. She sent us a couple photos and messages each day so we knew how she was doing!”
“Mike is fantastic! He is very friendly and knowledgeable of best practices for dog care / boarding. He made my dog feel at home and I could tell my dog was comfortable with him. While I was traveling I received several updates and pictures via the Rover app from Mike, which I appreciated! I would highly recommend Mike. I will definitely book with him again. Thanks so much Mike!”
“Felicia and her family were so great with Thor! He was a little nervous when arriving but every photo they sent he looked happier and happier. Enjoyed the attention and the walks and playing with their pup Yoshi. He will be so excited to visit again someday!”
“Jenny was a great sitter for our little guy. This was our first time using Rover so glad it went well. Always sent me a daily picture & update, which was super nice! Our pup seemed right at home and loved by her and her family. Thx!”

“Georgie did a fantastic job caring for my two pups while my husband and I had our wedding in Stillwater! She is very sweet and treated our dogs like her own. We got updates and pictures everyday, and she was very responsive. I would definitely recommend trusting Georige to care for your pets. 🩷”
“Mika and andrew were fabulous! They updated us daily with pictures and videos of Galaxy. They even treated her to a live music concert! They were very easy to work with and galaxy had a great time. We felt like she had a little family away from family.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for WALL-E! From the start, they were professional, kind, and highly experienced with dogs. WALL-E warmed up to them right away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We received regular updates, photos, and little messages about how he was doing, which we really appreciated. It was obvious he was not only well cared for, but genuinely happy and comfortable. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup — the best sign of all! We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
“LAN was great with my young Labradoodle. He stayed with her for two weeks while I was out of the country. She put my mind at ease by sharing pictures and videos of him playing with her dog Lucy. He seemed very comfortable and well cared for with her family. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Caleb was great! We had to scramble to find a dog sitter over Christmas and he agreed. He sent pictures and updates throughout the days that he watched our dogs and that gave me some peace-of-mind due to the fact that it was the first time we had used him. 10/10 and will definitely be using him again.”
“First time with Dynette. She was very concerned with Bella's needs especially when she had diarrhea. Good communication daily and pictures sent relieved some of our anxiety. Would request Dynette again.”
“Haley is truly an exceptional pet sitter. She cared for our 3 year old Cavapoo while we were out of town for eight days. This was his second stay with her and when we dropped him off, he was so excited to see her — which says everything! She took him on daily walks, gave him plenty of cuddle time, and made sure he felt completely at home. Haley sent multiple photos and updated each day which is always comforting for us. In addition to caring for our pup, Haley also stopped by our house several times to look after our cats, giving them the attention and care they needed while we were away. We had a few unexpected flight changes/delays, and Haley was incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter. We’ll absolutely continue to use her in the future.”
“Kirsten was great to work with! She communicates daily and sends lots of pics, which we loved! Our dog was loved and cared for when we were away which gives us peace of mind. We already scheduled Kirsten and her family to watch our dog again!”

Gunner loves going there so much that he seems a little torn when we come to pick him up. It’s such a pleasure to be able to go away and know your beloved pet is loved and cared for while you’re away. It is such a relief that he is so happy there. Thank you so much Carolyn and Kristopher!
