“We found our puppy, an English Bully, on the side of the road, skinny and lost. A week later we required someone to watch him as we left the mountain for medical reasons, and we were a bit frazzled, not knowing who we could get to help us. Then we found Mary and Hugh on the Rover! They were absolutely wonderful and Tonka was in good hands. We were happy to get constant photos showing how Tonka was being cared for and loved. We knew he was alright all the time. We highly recommend this wonderful couple for your puppy sitting needs. They are truly a gift, loving kind and good.”
“We have used Amanda 2 times now . And one was a long stay . Amanda sent pics and communicated with us daily. Piper loves being there ! Walks treats and play activities. She’s definitely our dog sitter ! 5 stars ! ⭐️”

“Kodi was awesome! She took in our 3 dogs short notice and was so sweet. Our german shepherd has separation anxiety and she knew exactly how to handle and care for him, Our littler dogs LOVED her sweet daughter she gave them all the loves and cuddles. I was so nervous Leaving my dogs with someone for the first time but Kodi made me feel so comfortable she provided pictures and updates on them. I definitely will be hiring her to watch our fur babies again. If you want someone reliable who ACTUALLY cares about your animals and does what’s best for them pick her.”

Another successful visit to Hugh & Mary! Normally I’ve booked them for day trips but this time I needed the overnight stay. They send multiple photo updates and messages which I absolutely LOVE. She is always smiling having the best time hanging with them and the friends. She’s on medication which was handled with care. Sophie always comes out happy, healthy, and enjoys going back each time we come. We recommend Hugh & Mary any day! They are so kind and caring to my sweet girl. They provide great communication. And always send her home with a to go party bag. So grateful for these two!
Hands down the most amazing dog sitter we have ever experienced. He is just an absolute gem and the most friendly/attentive to your dog and their needs. From asking about feeding to potty break schedules, you can truly tell how much he cares about your lil guy. He kept us updated with our dog and even took him on some awesome adventures! He even sent us the CUTEST photos of our doggo! We feel extremely lucky to have found such an amazing dog sitter. I would recommend him 1000x to anyone looking in the big bear area. We hope to book with him again in the future. Thank you Michael!
Jessica was an excellent sitter. She was also very patient with me despite being over an hour late from our initial meet time due to an issue with the address. She sent me updates with pictures to keep me up to date while she was watching my dog. I would absolutely recommend her.
