“I would give Leah 10 stars if I could!!!! This was my first time using service. I didn’t know what to expect. She made the process super simple. She was way absolutely amazing with my 3 dogs. My very old, very very needy Weimaraner dude barked all night the first night. Unfazed she invited him into her bedroom. Still barking, she calmed him and soothed him all night. She’s excellent with all the dogs in her care. I have found our only sitter going forward. 100% would recommend! 10 stars!!!”
“First time using Rover, and it was a great experience! Shannon is quick to respond and easy to work with. She gave updates and I could tell my pup had fun! Very convenient service. Will use again!”
“Will return my husky to be at her care. He returned to us healthy, and playful as usual. Katie's care for pets was unequal. Fully recommend her for your pet.”
“I just love how Ebony cared for Samier. She communicated daily with words and pictures of how Samier was doing. When Samier returned home nothing was out of the ordinary he continued his routine right away. We cant wait to use Ebony again in two weeks.”
“Laronna has taken care of Sadie twice and is really good with her. She sends pictures of how she is doing during her stay. I'm more anxious than Sadie. Thank-you for taking good care of her. Donna C”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Kelly. Her home is clean and pet friendly with an amazing fenced in backyard. I could tell at the meet and greet that she was a competent and caring pet sitter. She was very patient, taking time to answer my questions. She updated me on how he was doing and sent a picture as well. When I got there to pick him up and she opened the door, I could tell he was very relaxed and at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Sara was amazing. She took the time to pick up and drop off my dog, sent me updates including photos throughout the week, and gave Ren a bath as well. I will definitely book with her again. Thank you Sara!!”
“Francie is an AMAZING pet caregiver/sitter. She shared numerous updates with videos and pictures. Not only was my dog "Granny" well cared for, she had a blast. This was the first time that a family member did not keep Granny for me and I was concerned at first, but all of my concerns were gone with updates. I think my dog misses her buddies that she got to play with.”
“Laura made me feel extremely comfortable during our meet and greet and was phenomenal at keeping me updated on my pup! He is a bit of a needy boy but she showed him all the love and patience I could ask for. Would recommend her services to anyone who wants to have a sound mind when leaving their pup to go on a trip ❤️”
“Jennifer really helped us out when my daughter brought her baby to town and was worried about Dougie’s loud barking when the baby was trying to sleep. She kept him a few nights and he seems happy and well-cared for. She kept in good touch and made me feel assured that everything was fine…thanks again, Jennifer!”
“Mary did a great job with Hudson! He is shy at first but warmed up to her really nicely! She is always very responsive and accommodating. Will be contacting Mary in the future when we need more help with him!”
“Our pup did great at Mandi’s! I didn’t have to worry at all because she sent pictures of his day and an update of what he did. She was so sweet to send him home with a personalized bandana and a jar of homemade treats! Definitely recommend!”
“My dog loved boarding with Katie. She kept my dog super active with lots of hikes and walks and I could tell my dog was comfortable with her and her home. Katie was super easy to work with as well.”
