1. Gilian S.
“Gilian did a great job with our pooch. Updates sent every day and lots of snuggles and play time for our needy dog :) We’ll 100% use her again.”
2. Natasha T.
“Our dog is 15, and we were very nervous to leave him. But Natasha was perfect. She listened to what his needs were, sent photos each day to set our mind at ease and was very responsive if we had questions. Highly recommend!”
3. Kristin & Bruce M.
“My pup Cricket loves Kristin, Bruce, Hartley, and Lauren SO MUCH. He has quite a lot of energy and every time he gets to stay with them, he comes home tired and content (and even pouted the whole way home in the car this time). In addition to being fantastic Rovers, they're just great human beings and we're so grateful to have found them and cannot recommend more. Thank you, as always, for everything!!”
4. Janice B.
“Janice and Mark are so great! My dog Spunky had a lot of fun being in their care. They made sure she had a lot of exercises and a lot of love. Spunky was tired when I picked her up.”
5. Robert L.
“This was my second time leaving my dog with Bob and he had a wonderful time! Bob always sends picture updates and my pup always comes home happy and relaxed. Thank you!!”
6. Amy G.
“Our pup Wallace had an excellent stay with Amy. She is friendly, professional, and communication was excellent. The photos Amy send each day seemed like our dog was having such a great time he may not want to come home :) We highly recommend Amy and will use her in the future without hesitation.”
7. Carissa B.
“Our boys stayed with Carissa for a little over a week while we were away. As other reviews will state, when we dropped the boys off with her, they were eager to see her and ran right in her house without looking back. While we were away she kept us updated on how they were doing, including pics! They were happy and healthy when we picked them up from their stay! Would 100% recommend Carissa to anyone looking for in-house boarding of their pets. It seems as though she truly does treat her boarders as part of the family.”
8. Christina & Jeremy C.
“Christina & Jeremy did a great job with my dog! He was dealing with a rash, so he had just been prescribed medication. It is hard to trust sitters to keep up with your dog’s medication regimen, but when my dog came back, his rash was looking much better. Christina and Jeremy are a trustworthy couple for you to leave your pets with!”
9. Ryan K.
“Ryan and his family were super sweet and updated us regularly. Hank had a great time and was taken great care of. I plan to bring him back if they are available next time I am in need of a sitter in the area!”
10. Mary S.
“Mary is awesome! Our dog was accepted and treated as part of her family! My dog would be anxious and glued to me for a week after being boarded. But after staying 3 days with Mary, she is calm and relaxed as if we never left. I could tell she enjoyed her stay by the pics Mary sent me and her demeanor when I picked her up. We will definitely be using Mary every time if she is available!”
11. Katie & Samuel W.
“Katie and Samuel were great to Jarvis and sent us several updates throughout his stay. They also have a gated backyard to help with energetic dogs. I would highly reccomend!”
12. Marie J.
“Marie is wonderful! She let me come and do a meet and greet before booking a stay. My girls were perfectly comfortable with her. I’m so glad I found a sitter for my girls that I can’t trust 🥰”
13. Maggie E.
“Maggie and family are wonderful and our dog was super happy all week. We got tons of photos and updates throughout. Definitely recommend her and her family.”
14. Wanqing Y.
“Wanqing was so great with our pup, Gimli (a one year old shih tzu/bichon mix). She sent us updates every day and kept him very active and entertained! I think he was sad to leave her and his new buddy, Tucker ☺️ We will definitely bring him to her in the future!”
15. Christine N.
“Christine was super with Joey, who is a 9 month old 63 pound puppy. I was concerned about her getting along with other dogs. Christine's knowledge and experience came through and she was able to introduce Joey to new dogs successfully, and all were happy and played together. I received lots of pictures and updates which helped me to relax and have a great vacation. Would I have Christine take care of Joey again, absolutely no question about it, she did a great job.”
16. Emily L.
“We are so grateful for Emily and her family! We know that JoJo is being very well taken care of while we travel, and having that confidence is priceless!”
17. Meranda G.
“We are so thankful to have found Meranda as a sitter. This is the second time she watched our two girls. We boarded them with Meranda for 5 days which allowed us to fly to Idaho to see my son graduate. She was quick to respond to my questions and sent me lots of photos. We highly recommend her!”
18. Maegan L.
“Meagan is clearly someone who loves dogs, and cares for your pet as she does her own. Her house and backyard were very accommodating, and I could tell from all the pictures I received that my pup was having a wonderful time!”
19. Joe H.
“This was my second time boarding my dog with Joe, and I’m so happy to have a sitter I can count on! Poppy gets along great with Joe’s dog, Sadie, and I could tell when I picked her up both times that she was happy, comfortable, and relaxed in the home. Joe is also very flexible with drop off and pickup hours, which is super helpful for travel. I will continue to book Joe any time I need overnight help!”
20. Caitlyn M.
“Caitlyn did a wonderful job watching my 1 year old dog this past weekend. I highly recommend Caitlyn to those who are considering a weekend pet sitter!”
