1. Sharon P.
“Our dog was with Sharon for 16 days. He came home as if everything was normal in life. Sharon is very comfortable with "her" dogs. She seems very relaxed and that is what the dogs respond to.”
2. Michele R.
“Michele saved my life, I always take my dog everywhere but for obvious reasons I couldn't go to Cedar Point. I contacted her and she quickly said yes. She walked her and took care of her until the afternoon. She sent me photos so I could check her status with my dog. Highly recommended. Thanks Michele.”
3. alison f.
“Perfect dog sitter. Took care of both of my dogs (german shepherd and husky/lab). Did very well helping them getting comfortable with her and her dog. Took them out on walks and sent many pictures. Would love to have her help us next time.”
4. Derek B.
“Could not have had a better experience leaving our puppies over the holidays! Derek was amazing and our dogs loved him. He sent pictures and videos everyday, took our golden on bike rides and even bought our senior puppy boots when it turned very cold and snowy. Overall 10/10 experience for our dogs and us.”
5. Sandra F.
“Our pups stayed overnight. We got lots of pictures. When we went to pick them up, we could tell they felt at home and were well cared for. We will definitely be using Sandra again!”
6. Sophie H.
“This was Rusty's 3rd stay with Sophie and we are very pleased with their care for our little boy. He seems to have a lot of fun and comes home tired. Thank you very much, I'm sure Rusty will be back.”
7. Katrina T.
“Wonderful experience with Roger and Katrina! They treated my pup like their own and gave him lots of love during his stay. I will be using them again!”
8. Barbara M.
“Barbara took great care of our dog while we were away. She was easy to communicate with and flexible with our schedule changes. We will definitely ask for her help again in the future!”
9. Steffani D.
“If you’re looking for a wonderful pet sitter who treats your dog like you do, Steffani is for you! I was nervous about leaving Archie when we went on vacation, but she sent pictures and videos to ease my mind. She has a HUGE yard! He’s never been around cats before and she worked with him so everyone got along. He was exhausted when he came home! I highly recommend Steffani and look forward to our next vacation now that I have found my pet sitter! Archie and I thank you!”
10. Dian R.
“Diane was so easy to work with & we felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with her while we were out of town. She obviously is a dog lover!”
11. David T.
“Well this was our first time using Rover and a dog sitter. David was absolutely phenomenal and I would not have anyone else watch my dog. He goes above and beyond as a dog sitter. He and his family spent so much time with Chloe. Teaching her some commands, walking her and playing with her instead of locking her in a cage as a kennel would. He sent many videos and pics throughout her stay and it made us feel comfortable that she was in great hands. If 10 stars were the best rating I would give 20 stars. Thank you so much David.”
12. Sarah S.
“Thanks for watching Finn!”
13. Margaret V.
“Margaret thank you so much for taking care of my “beastie boys” last week at the last minute. Don’t know what we would do if we didn’t have you to count on. It always amazes me how excited they get when we pull in the drive to drop them off. Feels good to know they are as happy as can be to be spending time with you.”
14. Allison W.
“Allison took great care of Emma!! She took her on lots of walks, got her used to playing with other puppies and taught her some good manners. Emma is a much better behaved pup after staying with Allison and her family. Thank you so much.”
15. Wendy G.
“Wendy did a wonderful job with Wilson, extremely good communication and care, we would highly recommend Wendy and would absolutely use her again!”
16. Nicole Z.
“Nicole was AWESOME! Flexible with schedule , kept us updated daily with messages and photos , and took great care of our grand dog! Will definitely use her services during our next adventure! Highly recommended!! Thanks Nicole”
17. Christina C.
“Christina did a great job taking care of my 8 month old puppy. She sent pictures and updates every day and Waffles seemed happy to spend time with the other dogs at Christina's house. It was my pup's first time being left behind and Christina was understanding and helpful. Thanks!”
18. Sarah M.
“Sligo had the best time playing with Sarah and Brendan’s pups all weekend! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! We will definitely be using them again :)”
19. Courtney P.
