“Budz spent a few hours with Lacey and her family while I attended a show nearby and it couldn't have gone better.

“Melissa was the absolute best. She took the best care of Kevin and went above and beyond to help me with logistics. Certainly our best experience on Rover so far. Thank you!”
“My partner and I are blessed to have found Caesar - truly thankful. We had an instant trust for him. He was very communicative prior to our pup's stay. He was more than happy to meet us prior to booking so we could say hello and meet before we made our decision. Caesar was very flexible with us as well - - We wanted to extend our vacation on our last day and Caesar happily kept Bella for an extra night on the fly. He has a great, safe property where your pup will enjoy exercise and make new friends.”
“Best dog sitters I’ve ever hired! They handled my 1 year old Great Dane two weekends in a row. He clearly got a ton of exercise while he was there, and he gets super excited when we drop him off. They have a stunning secluded property that is heaven for dogs, even large breeds. They showed me the whole property including inside the home. I highly recommend!”

Rebecca B.
“I have had the good fortune of finding Rebecca to pet sit for me on several occasions. It is difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I have 3 dogs and 3 cats. The dogs are a handful because we have two Shepards and a Chihuahua. They are young and rambunctious. She has taken care of them when I’ve had to go out of town for weeks at a time. It’s nice not to have to worry about them when I’m gone. She has always taken excellent care of them. Not only does she feed them and take them out for walks, she plays with them too. They are always happy to see her. She is reliable and responsible. I wouldn’t use anyone else and highly recommend her :)”

Ismara G.
“If you are considering hiring a pet sitter I would give Ismara G. my highest recommendation. ismara is prompt and courteous with both owners and pets. She has an excellent work history in the “animal field” and her own ownership of several pets speaks to her love of animals. It is such a relief to know Ismara was caring for our pets, in our own home. She understands that they are our babies, our kids, and treats them as such. My vacation was much more enjoyable knowing that my pets were receiving Ismara’s loving kindness. Ismara has established a business that will thrive once the word spreads. She runs her business with professionalism, integrity and high quality standards. Without a doubt she has become a business that I will frequent with regularity. (The dogs say her husband makes delicious doggie cookies too!) -Enedina G.”
