1. Shannon R.

“Shannon and May have been a dream come true. It is so hard to find someone you are comfortable leaving your fur babies with but they will care for your pups like you would. They are flexible and respond fast. I love getting pics while I'm away, it's always makes me smile. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, thoughtful sitter, look no FURther.”

3. Jaylese H.

“Jaylese took wonderful care of my dog while I was away on vacation. She asked a lot of great questions upfront to ensure Zander would be properly cared for and attended to throughout his stay. Jaylese was very caring and thoughtful, always sending pics and updates. I could tell he got plenty of love and activity throughout his stay. I would not hesitate to use her services again and recommend her to others.”




4. Mecheal H.
“Our cavalier Hula had an awesome stay with Mecheal! Mecheal has a great fenced in yard, and only takes one dog at a time so I know she was getting all the attention. Mecheal sent great pictures everyday, so we could check up on our pooch. I definitely recommend this Rover.”

6. Anna P.

“We went away for a weekend trip and Anna watched our dog overnight. Anna texted us updated and sent pictures to show us how Misty was doing the whole time. We dropped her off at Anna’s house and met her friendly family. We felt comfortable knowing she was there and will definitely be leaving Misty with her, again!”


7. Angela & Tommy P.

“Khanh and Tommy welcomed us into their home for a very last minute boarding request. We received several updates, with pictures and video while we were away. Their love and care was evident and we know Astro had such a fun time! We are so grateful to have found them and we are looking forward to working with them again very soon! Look no further!! This is the right family to take care of your pup(s)!”

11. Wendy s.

12. Katie L.

“Katie was great! She was very nice and outgoing. She arranged a meet and greet prior to scheduled date and she interacted with my puppy well and brought her dog Storm to play with my puppy. When dropping my puppy off, her house was clean and spacious for Gumby’s stay. She listened to any specific requests related to Gumby. I enjoyed Katie and trusted her with my puppy. I will continue to use Katie as a dog sitter in the future.”


13. Abigail R.

“Abigail was amazing ! I will use her again as soon as I need another sitter !”


14. Fiona O.

“Fiona was fantastic! Meet and greet first and got comfortable with the setup. She sent pics and updates as requested and I will be booking with her again soon. I could tell my dog Cal was very comfortable there both during and after.”




15. Maria D.

“I can’t recommend Maria enough! She provided exceptional and extremely compassionate care for our dog, Pluto, who boarded with Maria and her family for almost 3 weeks. I was very anxious about leaving Pluto with a stranger because he has some complicated health issues. However, before Pluto boarded with Maria and her family, she came to our place to meet us and discuss Pluto’s needs. She reassured us that she knew how to deal with seizures and could administer Pluto’s pills. Maria was great about reaching out when Pluto was experiencing stomach problems and was very responsive whenever I reached out for updates. She regularly sent us photos of Pluto enjoying his time with other dogs. The fact that Maria also has her own dogs and boards other dogs was a huge plus since Pluto is always with our family at home or at doggy daycare, so he hates being alone. In addition to being highly experienced in pet care, Maria is also extremely compassionate. I always felt that Pluto was in the best hands possible. Maria made a very difficult situation for my family easier since we knew he was getting the best care possible. Thank you so much, Maria! We will definitely be requesting your help again in the future and recommending you to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


16. Hiu L.
“If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter, Hiu is absolutely the person for you. I’ve known her for years, and her love for animals is unmatched. She’s the type of person who will go out of her way to make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cared for—whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay. Her attention to detail is incredible—she keeps track of feeding schedules, playtime needs, and even the quirks that make every pet unique. I’ve seen how pets light up around her, and she always manages to make them feel comfortable and happy. Not only is she great with animals, but she’s also incredibly professional and dependable. If you’re leaving your furry family member in her hands, you can do so with full peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more!”


17. Ella W.

“Ella was an amazing host for my puppy Sunday!! She was super responsive, and my dog came back smelling so clean and was so happy!!! Thank you Ella!”


18. Ashley C.
About: Grew up with a golden retriever for 13 years! would take him for walks, hikes and enjoyed playing with him in the yard! I have 3 children who adore dogs big and small! I work 30 hours a week- part time in office and part at home. I am gone from 8am until around 230 during the week but do work from home 1-2 days a week. I have a fenced in yard and a deck that has a gate. all my doors in the house are child proof- so no children will be able to let the dog out on their own.




19. Guliser "Julie" B.

“Julie was AWESOME! She answered my messages in a timely manner and sent me updates and pics of my babies every day. I will definitely be booking her again for future sittings!”




20. Michelle G.

“Michelle (and her whole family) were AMAZING with our 100lb Golden retriever Gus!! She has a large fenced in yard that was great to run around in. We were sent frequent updates too. She was very kind and compassionate with Gus....i will definitely use her again and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!!!!”
