1. Kristin T.

“I am so lucky I found Kristin! My girl, Emmy, recently became an only dog and I was worried about how she would do when I went on vacation. Judging by the daily messages and pictures, it looks like Emmy had as much fun on her vacation as I did on mine! It gave me so much peace of mind to know she was part of a family. Thank you for taking such great care of Emmy.”


2. Jessica C.

“Jessica was amazing with our young pup! We received daily pictures or videos and she even got him a pup-cake for his birthday! We will definitely be back.”


3. Allison Nicole M.

“Allison clearly loves dogs and looks after all of them with great love and joy! She provided my two dogs a safe home away from home for 5 nights. She gave Ruby her medicine and made sure all their needs were met. She is excellent and we will be back!”


4. Luis C.

“Luis and his wife are wonderful hosts. They are flexible and accommodating our schedule changes. They also let us know how our dog Gizmo was doing and sent our pictures when we were away. Gizmo was very relaxing under their care. Highly recommended!”


5. Kristin S.


“We had the pleasure of having Kristin watch our two dogs for the first time, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience!! We were a bit nervous leaving them for the first time, but she made it so easy and reassuring. From the thoughtful updates and pictures, to the way she made our dogs feel comfortable and cared for, we could tell she genuinely loves animals. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands! We came back to happy pups! We’ll definitely be booking again in the future. We highly recommend!!”


6. Patrick & Susan D.

“Patrick and Susan provide a 10/10 service. They took our dogs on fun walks every day. Took plenty of photos to send with comprehensive daily updates. They treated our dogs like their own and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for pet services. We would trust them again in the future without hesitation”


7. Cassi W.

“Cassi is simply the best!!! She has become my puppy's 2nd mom when I am away. I could not be happier with how much she loves caring for my Remi. She is on top of it all from the wonderful atmosphere she provides the animals she cares for to the awesome pictures and updates she provides. I have busy weekends with a teenager that is active in everything on the weekends and having Cassi allows my boy to get the attention and care he deserves instead of being home all day alone. Cassi has truly become a gift to me and my puppy. We will be customers of Cassi's as long as she will have us. I simply cannot recommend her enough. She truly loves what she does! Thankful for you Cassi!”


8. James & Mallory N.

“James and Mallory were amazing! We have been using Rover for years and have found some great sitters for our girl here. None of them compare to the experience we had with James and Mallory. After the meet and greet I knew it was a good fit for our dog. They have a fully fenced yard that our dog was very comfortable in. Their home was welcoming and cozy. Our dog was allowed to sleep on the couch just like she does at home. Mallory was accommodating with our feeding schedule and choices. We even shared some common experiences making our own dog food. They took our dog to some local hiking spots to get all her energy out. This was our favorite part of using them, they listened to what we had said about our dog loving to be outside. There was great communication with pictures and videos. Our dog was returned happy, healthy and tired...just how we like her. Mallory even gave us a hand written Thank You card. They are true animal lovers and will care for your pet like their own. Our dog looks forward to her next visit.”


9. Brittany W.

“As always Brittany is amazing with my very active Husky! He loves being with her and her family and gets plenty of love and attention. My pup feels right at home every time. He cant wait to go back for his next stay.”


10. Suzanne B.


“Our dog loves going on vacation to Suzanne’s. He was so happy to see her and who could blame him? He gets exercise, snuggles, and a family away from home. Suzanne is very thoughtful about meeting our dogs unique needs and keeping us updated with his activities and some very cute photos. We’ll continue to book Suzanne as long as she is available.”


11. Gillian M.

“Gillian took great care of our fur baby, Roxy! This was Roxy's first time with Gillian and her dog Bowie, but they clicked instantly. Gillian was very attentive to Roxy's dietary needs and gave her the daily supplements. We received daily updates from Gillian, including photos and videos that put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. Roxy came back a happy, healthy dog and now she's made a new friend as well! I highly recommend Gillian- she's the best!”




12. Colette B.


“Colette was great with our two dogs, she has a lovely backyard where they got plenty of exercise and made themselves at home in her living room lounging on the couch and playing with their toys! I’d definitely recommend her for your pups care!”


13. Francis E.

“She made sure my baby girl was treated like a queen. She toke her swimming on a hot day. She was so tired when I picked her up slept the whole car rode home and that's saying something about a husky lol. She took good cat of my pup”


14. Sandra C.

“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”
