1. Katie & Samuel W.
“Super nice family and home with fenced yard. We needed someone on short notice due to a family emergency. Katie and Samuel offered to be flexible with our return date which we greatly appreciated. Juneau seemed to have done fine.”
2. Janice B.
“Janice is a great sitter. Sends lots of updates and pictures, and is easy to communicate with. Grizz had a lot of fun during his stay, and we would use her again. Highly recommend this sitter.”
3. Kristin & Bruce M.
“My pup Cricket loves Kristin, Bruce, Hartley, and Lauren SO MUCH. He has quite a lot of energy and every time he gets to stay with them, he comes home tired and content (and even pouted the whole way home in the car this time). In addition to being fantastic Rovers, they're just great human beings and we're so grateful to have found them and cannot recommend more. Thank you, as always, for everything!!”
4. Sarah H.
“My dog Charlie stayed with Sarah for a long weekend and he couldn't have come back a happier pup! As a host, Sarah is easy to get ahold of, responds quickly and was very flexible when it came to drop off and pick up times. She has a giant backyard which certainly made Charlie's life and she kept me up to date all weekend with cute pictures. If I need to go out of town again, I wouldn't hesitate to book Sarah again!”
5. Nicole P.
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our dog, Kevin, and keeping us updated on his stay along with plenty of photos each day. Her and her family seemed to give Kevin lots of exercise and attention. Highly recommend!”
6. Lindsey C.
“Lindsey did a fantastic job of taking care of Coco. During my trip, I had travel delays and Lindsey was more than accommodating to help with last minute changes. She gave me frequent updates on Coco and I felt very at ease knowing that my fur baby was in very good hands. Would highly recommend!”
7. Shinduri V.
“Our first experience on pet boarding and we loved it. Zuma had a great time with Shinduri. She came home relaxed and well taken care of. She is great with dogs and I like that she often takes them outside for walks! I definitely recommend Shinduri If you’re looking for someone to take care of your dog/pet while you’re away. She’s really amazing!!!”
8. Karen C.
“Very nice and caring. Her and her daughter took both of my dogs on a nice walk and tired them out. They went above and beyond for my pups. Great sitter, I would book with her again.”

“Amy and her family gave my dog top-notch care! She came home tired but relaxed. Daily walks, individual attention, and a clean, comfortable home put her right at ease. I’m so glad we found Amy!”
12. Gina S.
“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”
13. Christine N.
“Christine to great care of my dog! She has a lot of experience and knowledge about dog training as well, and was very flexible and went out of her way to make sure that Pretzel was going to be a good fit with her other dogs. She took him to the dog park a bunch of times over the week, and sent a lot of photos!”

15. Malena N.

She sent so many photos and I know Henry was well taken care of and he had a great time :) I would highly recommend her!”
16. Cleda W.
“We had a wonderful experience with Cleda looking after Penny. Cleda was so helpful with us getting Penny set up in new surroundings and kept us reassured with pictures and updates. We will definitely come back again as Penny had a great time! Would definitely recommend!”
17. Mary Z.
“Mary took our dog for our wedding weekend and she was great! Pugsy had a great time with her dog, going on a walk, and going to the dog park! She sent pictures and we did not worry about Pugsy at all! We will definitely book with Mary in the future!”
18. Becky & Judd W.
“Thank you guys very much for watching Boni. I think she had a great time with you guys and she was very tired when she got home. I think she loved having a fenced in yard.”
19. Hanna P.
“Hanna has a deep love of dogs and other animals. When our friends or her neighbors need someone to watch their pets, she’s the first one to volunteer. She was the primary caretaker of her family’s dog. Even after moving across the country she still helps her family manage their dog’s healthcare. When she’s pet sitting she treats pets as if they’re her own. She gives them attention, reinforces training, and has even taught them new tricks. She has great attention to detail with planning and loves research, I believe she would treat any pet with the same amount of love and attention as if they were her own dog.”
20. Robert N.
“Robert did an amazing job watching my dog, Bear. He was very communicative and send pictures throughout the day. I would highly recommend him.”
