“I’m not typically one for rave reviews, but it’s easy to rave about Linda! She is kind, caring, and so good with my rescue dog Coco. Coco was in a cage for years so she has separation anxiety. And Linda knew just what to do to put her at ease. She also sent lots of pictures, stayed in constant contact, and asked all of the right questions. If I could give 10 stars I would.”
“Heather took the best of care of our little old man and even went out of her way to help us with drop off and met us at a convenient location! She kept us up to date with pictures and updates. We will definitely have her watch our pup again!”
“We’ve used Jen a few times now and will continue to do so! She’s so sweet and super accommodating when it comes to drop off and pick up times. I get pictures and videos everyday while I’m away of my baby and she always looks happy and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!”
“This was our first time boarding Ruby using Rover, and Stephen was a wonderful host! He was calm and reassuring and sent plenty of pictures and videos to keep us at ease while we were away. We'll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Zoro had such a great time with Ashleigh. Her attitude is exciting and bright. She was easy to communicate with and I love all the photos she shared. My boy came home so tired from all the play. We are so thankful for your live and care. See you again. ?”
“I was super nervous leaving my puppy with a sitter as I had just gotten her, Yana was AMAZING with her!!! Sent pictures and updates everyday. Will definitely be recommending and using her again. Brandy loved her stay🫶🏻🫶🏻”
“Jessica and Colin made our little Mira feel like she was at home. It was her vacation home. I felt so comfortable leaving her with them and their 2 children. I love that they sent me updates on how she was doing even sent a picture of Mira with their older daughter. It was very sweet to have had the daughter make Mira a clay bone as a gift. I would 110% rebook with Jessica and Colin any time. <3 <3”
“Debbie is wonderful.Peyton loved the attention she received and I felt very grateful to have someone so kind to watch over my girl. She sent me photos daily keeping me updated.”
“Norma was wonderful about sending me pictures and updates throughout the time my dog was with her and her family. I was a bit nervous since this was my first time of leaving my dog with a stranger. I don’t feel like she is a stranger anymore and I am happy I have someone I am comfortable leaving my dog with when needed.”
“Athena and Richi are incredible dog sitters! They took great care of Oscar, providing daily updates a few times a day and ensuring daily exercise. Oscar was so calm, happy, and energetic when we picked him up. This shows how well Athena and Richi cared for him. Thank you so much!”
“Magda & JD cared for our dog, Nyla, for 3 nights and 4 days. They sent us updates and pictures periodically and whenever we inquired. Nyla is newly adopted by us just 3 months ago, so we had “new parent” needs for reassurance that they met graciously. Nyla enjoyed playing with their dogs, Maizee and Harley. We feel very good about this experience and plan to book with them in the future!”
“Bella & Ricky (and Tuuka!) were incredible with our dog Sky! We were a little last minute to book and they were super flexible. Our booking coincided with a hurricane, and they were incredibly accommodating to still watch her even though they had to deal with post storm clean up. They sent so many updates & photos during the week and we were happy to know that Sky was having the best time without us! We will definitely book again without question. Very happy to have found a great family for our fur baby when we aren't home.”
“Marissa was the best! She is communicative, kind, and very sweet. This was my first time ever boarding my dog and it was such a great experience. She sent many photos throughout the day along with updates on my dog. When I picked him up, she even sent him home with a report card and cute Polaroid of him. What a thoughtful gesture. I know Patch had a great time with her and was well cared for. Will definitely rebook and recommend her to friends and family if they are looking for a pet sitter. 🥰 Thank you Marissa!”
“What a find. Kate is wonderful loving very capable dog person. I was very anxious to leave my 13-year-old Sebrina with just anybody. We had a meet and greet that almost lasted 2 hours. We hit it off and more importantly Sebrina did too. Sebrina was spoiled she got to sleep in a people's bed. My husband was picking up Sebrina and Kate wanted to see a picture of him, so she wouldn't give her to just anybody. That impressed me.”
“Leslie provided our Lab, Ruger, with the best care and attention that you can only wish for. From our initial meet and greet, a 7 day stay, and to the day we picked Ruger up Leslie communicated, sent photos daily, and we could tell that Ruger was thoroughly enjoying himself. It was a very comfortable experience for all. Leslie exceeded our expectations! We will definitely call on her in the future. Thank You!!”
