“My pup came back happy as always, and after some last minute changes due to our flight being impacted by weather, Nicole was flexible with us on pickup and extended a day with no problems. I wouldn’t expect that every time because I know people have their own lives/plans, but not having to worry about our dog for that night was certainly a relief! Thanks, Nicole!”


“Smitty had a great time staying with Janae and her lovely family. Daily photos were shared of their walks and funny mannerisms of Smitty. I would definitely bring him back again!”



“Kim is amazing! We adopted Willow, a high energy rescue, a few months ago and were nervous about leaving her with a sitter for the first time. Kim put our minds at ease immediately. She took such good care of Willow, and sent pictures every day of their adventures! We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in great hands. We will absolutely be booking with Kim again!”


“Thank you so much. I felt instantly at ease upon meeting Samantha and Anthony. My girls were in great hands. Responsive and very attentive to my girls needs. 5 stars isn't enough. I will book again soon.”



“Carla was by far the best pet sitter I’ve ever used. She knew exactly what my pup needed and gave him so much love and attention. Communication was perfect. She sent me so many pictures and videos which helped put me at ease while out of town. 5 stars, highly recommend.”


“Mike, Karen, and their daughter went far above and beyond to watch Rudy for us while I was recovering from surgery. As always, Rudy became a part of their family while he was with them. I was able to rest and recover without ever worrying about Rudy, and I’m truly grateful.”


“We are SO happy we found Lexi to watch our pup! She even let us book last minuet which was such a huge help. I really appreciate all the pictures and updates especially when he is in a new home for the first time. Her dogs were so gentle with Ollie and I loved the videos of them playing together. It put our minds at ease having him in her home and we will definitely be booking again!!!”


“Samantha and her husband were wonderful! They kept me informed of how my dog was doing everyday I was away including pictures. As a first time user of Rover, this was very comforting to know she was being taken care of. She took the time to slowly introduce my dog to hers and gave her space to be alone too! I will definitely use her in the future!”


“Dolores (Lori) was very kind and friendly at drop off. She took our two dogs on walks with her dogs and spent time playing fetch with them. She and her two boys were very loving towards our pups, which I know really helped our dogs while we were away. We received many lovely pictures, keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. Thank you Lori for loving our pups so well during our absence!! ❤️”


“Another wonderful stay! Finn absolutely loves it at Terri and Robert’s house. He gets to make new friends and play all day. Plus mom gets lots of updates! Highly recommend!”


“Rita was great! I couldn’t have asked for someone better - Bailey was well taken care of and pictures I received of him during her care looked like he was having a great time. I would definitely have her watch Bailey again!!!”


“Sarah and her family are amazing! Brian was so excited to stay with them again that he ran up and starting pawing their front door when we arrived! It's so nice leaving our little man with someone who treats him like family.”


“Awesome sitters! This is the second time I've used them and they are fantastic with my dog! I'll definitely rebook a third time for my next trip!”


“Summer was amazing! She boarded our dog for 10 days while we were on a family vacation. She also did daily drop ins for my 5 cats at home. She was great about giving me updates and photos of how much fun my dog was having. We will absolutely be using summer again and recommend her to anyone needing pet care services!!”


“Tess is wonderful! Our labrador had a great time on vacation at her place! We received daily updates and pictures! Happy Tails is clean, well equipped with dog beds,water bowls,dog toys,dog snacks,dog pool,dog sofa, a cozy cottage and lots of wide open spaces! Our Labrador came home happy and fully exhausted! We will be back!”


“Sarah and her husband Patrick are AWESOME! They took AMAZING care of our 4mo old German Shepherd puppy LunaBear. They updated us throughout the process and were very kind and loving both to our fur baby and to our family. Definitely would recommend them to everyone interested! Thanks guys!”


“Josh and his wife took great care of Carl while I was gone for a week. Carl came home happy and tired! We will definitely rebook. They also sent me tons of photos!”


“Brooke and Scott were fantastic! They watched my pup while I was out of town for the weekend and loved him like he was their own. They sent me multiple pictures and updates while I was away, which showed how happy and relaxed he was while staying at their place. Petey can’t wait to come stay with y’all again :)”


“Ashley and her kids watched my 10 month old Dane pup while I was out of town on business. This was his first stay away from home, and I was nervous about him staying in a kennel where he would be by himself with little stimulation and little oversight. At Ashley's, he got to interact with other dogs through their fencing system and was almost never left alone. Ashley and her son Zane were amazing about returning texts quickly - and I messaged a lot his first day with them. I really appreciate the way they cared for my boy as if he were one of their own.”
