“Shonta provided excellent care for my Onyx! I had recently started a new job and needed someone to care for him. She sent several updates and he looked happy and content in her home. I will definitely call on her for my future needs.”


“This is our third booking with Gina, our pups love her and we know she takes great care of them. She always communicates well, plenty of pics. Her home is clean and safe. Gina is kind and always professional. Thank you Gina!”


“Frances has watched our dog for more than a year now. He loves and rubs on her when he arrives so we know he enjoys his stay. Frances treats our dog like a member of the family and sends pictures and updates throughout the stay.”


“I had a WONDERFUL experience with Lisa and Sib! I have 3 little dogs that I don't board very often, and they did all the right things to make me feel comforted and informed while I was away. I received multiple daily updates and photos! 2 of my dogs require meds and they had no issues giving them their medications. They have a lovely pet friendly home and a large, dreamy backyard! I recommend them highly!”


“Leigh was exceptional with our puppy. She checked-in with us, sent pictures and videos, and responded to all of our questions. She is friendly and very easy to work with. We hope Leigh will be available to watch him again soon.”


“Nontombe 😍 She kept us well informed on everything as well as sent pictures and videos while we were away. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our big baby with her. Nontombe's back yard was a huge playground for our dog with so much room for running and playing. This was our first time ever using a sitter and I'm so glad it was through this company. We definitely will be utilizing Rover again and for sure selecting Nontombe as our sitter! Bless you and your love for animals.”

“Susanne was amazing with our little Peaches! She is super welcoming and provided us with several updates letting us know how Peaches was doing throughout her stay. She also has a great backyard for the pups to run around and play, which we really liked. We can’t say enough good things about Susanne, and will definitely be rebooking with her!”


“Margie is amazing! We left our Cavalier for the first time and he adjusted so well. He stayed with Margie for 6 nights and when we brought him home, he really missed her and some of his new buddies. She is a natural and treats your pet like they are part of her family. Highly recommend her if you have a small breed pet!”

“Leo had a wonderful visit with Leila. We were so happy that we were leaving Leo the moment we dropped him. He had more frns that really made his stay feel special. He was well taken care of like a family and very calm when I picked him up. Sallie is very kind and updated us with pictures of him playing. We are pleased and looking forward for next booking. Thank you so very much.”


“Stacey and her family are truly the best. They spoiled my Nugget and were very flexible with my pickup and drop-off times. I received a picture of my boy every day having an absolute blast, getting lots of exercise, and even being allowed to cuddle with them in bed and watch football. 1000/10 will be seeking her services in the future!”


“Daisy is the best! She was able to take in my sweet girl at the last minute! Sage learned some new neat tricks with Daisy, and she kept me updates with cute videos of Sage being Sage, loved it! You will not go wrong with Daisy as your BFF's new BFF! 💓”


“Michael did a great job caring for Boots. He was easy to communicate with and provided frequent updates while boarding him for the few days I was in town.

I will definitely be contacting Michael for my future dog care needs when I relocate to the area!”


“Dear Ms Karen, Thank you for taking such good care of me while my parents were out of town. I was not expecting my own doggie vacay but I did have a really good time!
