“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.”

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!”

Thank you so very much.”
