My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”

Candice welcomed us to her beautiful home with a wonderful smile and assured us that Lily would be fine. After receiving our first picture and report the next day (and everyday thereafter) we knew we had selected the right place for our fur baby and had no worries after that. Lily seemed to be right at home. We highly recommend Candice and her family and will definitely be using her again.”

He helped my very active 14 month old pup 🐶 stop pulling so much while on our walks.”

“We recently had the pleasure of entrusting Busara with the care of our 9-month-old kitten for five nights, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, Busara demonstrated exceptional professionalism and genuine affection for our kitten. Throughout our trip, she kept us consistently informed, sending regular updates and photos that showcased our kitten’s well-being and playful moments. Her attentive communication provided us with peace of mind, knowing our pet was in caring and capable hands. Upon our return, it was evident that our kitten had been well-cared for, appearing content and healthy. Busara’s dedication and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
“This was the first time we used a pet sitter for our fur baby. It’s so hard for us to leave our dog with anyone because he is skittish and it takes a while for him to be comfortable with new people and surroundings. From the first meet and greet Amrita and her family made us feel welcomed and safe. Our dog warmed up to them so fast and were felt comfortable with booking with her. We are so thrilled we found Amrita! She provided such a loving environment for our dog. We were receiving regular updates from her, including pictures . It is clear she takes pride or her work but above that, she truly loves pets. My dog was very well taking care of and we will be using her services in the future .”

Blackiston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Janice & Charles are fantastic! We usually take Kipo to a kennel, but for the first time while on vacation our minds were at ease knowing that Kipo was comfortable and well taken care of being at Janice & Charles’s home. Great couple, we can’t thank them enough.
