1. Benjamin B.
“Ben did a wonderful job watching our two dogs. He has a beautiful property with plenty of space and was great about sending us pictures and keeping us updated. Both our dogs loved Ben. They kept running back to him to say bye when we picked them up. We will definitely use Ben again in the future and highly recommend him.”
2. Kelly & Brian W.
“Kelly took extremely good care of our two pugs. One is 5 and the other is not quite 2. She has a yard where they could run and play which I am sure they loved because we do not have a yard they can play off leash on (more like a tick farm). The boys came home very happy and have collapsed on our laps to recuperate for their next adventure. I will book Kelly & Brian again when the need arises.”
3. Dalis S.
“I want to thank Dalis for taking good care of my two babies. She kept me updated everyday and throughout the day. I have so many pictures of my babies from Dalis.. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend this angle for all your dog sitter needs.”
4. Nikki S.
“Our dog is a little over a year old and up until now had not stayed with anyone other than immediate family. We were worried how he would do for an extended trip, but Nikki was great at communicating before and during our booking and stay. I also liked that I could go out and see the location before, and take doggo with me too. She’s a genuine animal lover and we will likely use her services again.”
5. Faith & Tyler C.
“Faith and Tyler took in my crazy basenji Dude with ease (not a small task if you know basenjis) with their toddler and 2 other dogs and I got lots of play pictures! Definitely recommend them for any pup sitting!”

8. Colleen S.
“Would love to have her to oversee Titus anytime. She kept me informed at all times. He loved his company. Her family is very welcoming. I’m thankful that she was available to assist me at the spur of the moment. I’m really satisfied with overall service Rover provides for my pet Monster Titus. Rick”
9. Kira K.

14. Ali M.
“Alicia, Ryan and their boys were awesome!! Another last minute work trip and they took in our babies.. Very commutative, sent pictures every day to let me know how they were. We didn’t want to leave them but felt they were in good hands. We have a 4 month old Great Dane and a not quite 6 month old Great Dane. We felt like they were loved while visiting and highly recommend!! We will let our babies stay again!!”
15. Brett C.

18. Beatrix & Adam S.
“They are amazing sitters! We highly recommend them. They took such a good care of my dog Koda, Thank you so much for everything, we will come back soon.”
19. Auburn M.
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
