“Stacie was an absolute amazing! She took care of both my dogs; Duke and Rosie, for six days. Rosie stayed with Stacie before, but it was the first time for Duke. Stacie sent photos of both dogs multiple times a day. Duke had a knee surgery couple of years ago, so we were a little concerned, but Stacie was very cautious so he doesn’t hurt himself playing. Rosie is an anxious dog and takes a little time to warm up to people, but has no trouble introducing herself with other dogs, Stacie put us as ease! She provides regular updates throughout the day. In every photo, my dogs looked happy and well cared for. Duke and Rosie were shown a lot of love and attention during their time with Stacie and they came home happy and healthy. I could not have asked for a better person to look after both my dogs. We love Stacie! You are truly an awesome and so good with our two dogs. Many thanks again. We really appreciate all you’ve done with both Duke and Rosie!”
“Taylor is a wonderful sitter. She is very caring and provides great care to our dog - Sky. Always providing us timely updates on Sky’s condition while he is with her. We will definitely use her service again.”
“Just wanted to say thank you for being amazing and watching Akira. Thank you for the updates in video and pictures. Thank you for allowing Akira to stay with you this week and make it her home. We appreciate you.”
“Corey was great. I was a first time Rover user and first time boarding my two dogs outside of their original foster mom. Corey put me at ease with an initial meet and greet to get a chance to get comfortable with each other before their stay. From there, Corey took in the dogs and provided updates and pics throughout their stay. Both dogs seemed happy with their stay. Thanks Corey”
“Beth was wonderful with our puppy. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the stay without being overwhelming, which we really appreciated. She was clearly prepared and already had everything she needed to provide great care, which made boarding prep so easy and stress-free for us. Her yard is spacious and perfect for dogs to play safely. She even sent him home with the sweetest little thank-you gift. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for thoughtful, attentive care.”
“This was Frank’s first time staying with Noelle, and he made himself right at home. I think this is because she is a gentle, loving person. She was great about updating me as well. Very satisfied!”
“Catherine took great care of Andy during this visit. Andy was experiences stomach upset and the recommended increasing his feeding from twice a day to 4 times. Catherine accommodated this request. Fin was a great playmate to Andy. Andy came back healthy and happy 😊”
“Finding someone you truly trust with your dog is hard. Finding someone you trust with your elderly dog who requires multiple medications throughout the day? That's nearly impossible — until we found John & Joanna. Our King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Lola, is a senior girl with a precise care routine, and we left for a seven-day family vacation knowing that. John and Joanna were fantastic. They never missed a medication. They sent updates that put our minds at ease. And they treated Lola not like a responsibility, but like a member of their own family. These two are the real deal. We are already booking them for our next trip, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. Lola approves. And Lola has high standards.”
“Walter is amazing!! He sends tons of videos and pictures of our boys! They always look super happy and made new friends on the visits. We are repeat customers, he makes everything so easy and we are grateful for that!”
“Once again, Jaime and Mike did an incredible job caring for my dog, Banjo, while I was away. They're great about providing updates, and are such a lovely family—I could tell Banjo had the best time with them! Thank you!”
“Our 2 senior dogs were well cared for during our week-long vacation. Iryna sent me frequent updates, lots of pictures, and videos. They always looked so happy. I especially loved the pictures of them snuggling with Iryna and her daughter, it really showed how comfortable they were. I'm pretty sure our dogs enjoyed their vacation just as much as we enjoyed ours. I will definitely be booking with James and Iryna for all of our future trips. Thank you for treating them like family!”
“I met Caroline's husband and he seemed patient and caring in regard to my dog. All the communication and photos with Caroline were helpful and reassuring that my pup was in good hands. Definitely would use them again!”
“She is truly amazing. I've had many other dog sitters, but this is the first time I've seen my furry friends so happy. My furry friends seemed to immediately fall in love with her the moment they met her. Even though my dogs are abandoned dogs and are very scared. She was like a magician. Than you,Angelique!!”
“Maria was a gem! she went above and beyond in every way. She sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Cub came home not only safe and sound, but clearly spoiled like she was the one that didn’t want the vacation to end 😂 I know my dog is looking for me to step up my game. Maria gave her plenty of love, playtime, and extra treats. Maria is a 10/10 sitter.”
“Sowmiya was such a great choice for our dogs. My wife and I received photos and videos daily during their stay that highlighted walks, meal times, and other engaging activities. We appreciated the flexibility of meeting with us prior to the boarding reservation as well. Our pups enjoyed their time there and was treated with great care. I would board my dogs with them again!”
“Ingrid was very patient, nice and communicative with me throughout Rocco’s stay. She sent photos and messages regarding Rocco’s day very often. It eased my anxiety as this was Rocco’s first time staying with someone else overnight. He is very attached to me so I was a bit concerned, but from the updates I got it looks like he did just fine :). Thank you Ingrid for taking such a good care of my baby and for being patient with him.”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my 12-year-old baby Dharma received! Leaving an older dog behind is never easy, but from the moment we connected, I knew Dharma would be in loving hands. Mei was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly treated Dharma like part of the family. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Dharma came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and understands the needs of senior pups, Mei is the one. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my girl!”

We could not be happier with the care Janna provided for our sweet Ruby! Ruby is a 6-month-old Golden Retriever puppy, and leaving her with someone new can be nerve-wracking, but Janna made us feel completely comfortable and at ease from the very beginning. Janna and her entire family welcomed Ruby with so much love, kindness, and attention. Her son was especially sweet and spent time playing with Ruby, which she absolutely loved. It was clear that Ruby was treated like part of the family during her stay. Janna kept us updated throughout the visit and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and well cared for Ruby was. The communication was excellent, and we truly appreciated the updates. We are incredibly grateful for the loving care Ruby received and would highly recommend Janna to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you, Janna, for taking such wonderful care of our furry baby girl!
Viviana was easy to coordinate with. During the meet and greet she showed us inside the house and the backyard and I appreciate seeing the space our pup would be spending his time in. During his stay she sent update with pics and videos which I loved. She was fantastic 10/10 recommend based on this forst experience and we plan to book with her again.
Jackson, my eight-month-old rockstar/Lab pup, had a great time with Stephanie and her family. You can tell that she takes great care of the dogs she is charged with and truly enjoys her work. Starting soon after drop-off, she kept in touch with frequent photos, videos, and texts letting me know how my guy was settling in and adapting to this new environment. Her yard, and home, is secure and clean, and her own dog kept Jackson from being lonely during his first solo adventure. I was, at first, hesitant to schedule a boarding with someone that we didn’t know beforehand, but Stephanie made us immediately comfortable, which made the decision a no-brainer. If you are looking for a conscientious, professional, and capable person to watch over your four-legged friend, look no further; you have found your sitter.
This was the first time we left our puppy with a boarder, and Stacie helped us feel so comfortable. She was very communicative, sent daily photos and videos, which really helps the kids deal with missing their dog. Her house is a perfect space for taking care of dogs. Her yard was awesome and our dog (Joy) seemed to be having a great time. Will definitely go with Stacie again the next time we need someone willing to take care of Joy for us.
Ivy was very attentive and caring for my fur baby. She sent me pics and videos nearly everyday and made sure I was always up to date on the status of Gizell. I especially appreciated that she requested a meet & greet prior to the drop off date to make all parties feel secured. It was my first time using Ivy’s services, we had a few minor hiccups but you can tell her genuine passion and love for animals immediately, I will definitely use again as Gizell came home as happy as when I left her so I know she had a great time. Thank you Ivy!!
We’ve now used Elizabeth twice and both experiences have been wonderful. She is very communicative, attentive, and clearly cares about the dogs she watches. Her home is clean and welcoming, and our puppy came home happy and completely worn out from playing. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking again.
