“I can't thank William enough for taking such wonderful care of my 12 week old puppy! Leaving her for the first time was incredibly nerve-wracking, especially at such a young and vulnerable age, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to bring her with me. From the start, William was kind, professional, and reassuring. Throughout the day, I received thoughtful updates and photos that completely eased my anxiety. It was clear my pup was safe, happy, and well looked after. Knowing she was in such capable, caring hands made all the difference. I'm so grateful for the peace of mind and will absolutely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend to any pet parent—especially those with young puppies!”
“My 2 fur babies had an incredible time with Cathy, I am not so sure they wanted to come home! Cathy's daily updates with videos and pictures put my mind at ease and I could see that Denali and Stella felt right at home. They came home tired and happy. I highly recommend Cathy!”
“Glen took such good care of our girl while we were away overnight. We received many updates throughout the day and she was comfortable quickly in his home. We will definitely book with Glen again!”
“Cali was absolutely amazing. Our boy Bruce (a husky/lab, 'Siberian Retriever') was so well taken care of and looked truly happy upon pickup. Cali is friendly, very experienced and was a pleasure to work with. We were out of towners looking to board Bruce while visiting family in London and were lucky to have found her. Highly recommended and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Liz was amazing from beginning to end. She was so patient and compassionate with animals. I am so happy to have found Liz to watch my dogs. I could tell throughout the entire booking that they were happy and being well taken care. Liz has a natural gift with animals and it was evident from the moment we met. Thank you Liz for everything and taking such good care of my fur babies.”
“Our first time using this app/service and we could not have been happier. Jennifer was fantastic with our senior dog and kept in touch with photos and notes throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“Pam Duguay Steve Paul and I thank you and Ron for taking such wonderful care of our babies!!! It was difficult leaving them "Rover Night" for the first time as we normally have puppy sitters at our house. You gave us great comfort early on by sending pictures and providing updates and more pictures throughout their stay with you and Ron. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!!!”
“Oakley absolutely loved Anna and her husband! They were both so kind and took the greatest care of him. They went above and beyond to take him on walks and even brought him to the dog park which was perfect since Oakley is a very high energy dog. We booked them last minute and they were very flexible with timing. They followed all our instructions for Oakley's care. Anna also provided a lot of photos, videos, and updates throughout his stay! I couldn't recommend them enough, we will definitely be booking with them in the future! :)”
“Great experience with Claudia and her family. Communication was good during the booking and especially during the stay. She even sent me home with pictures from their stay. Definitely would recommend and I have already rebooked!”
“I'm so grateful to Jessica for her thoughtful and attentive care of my beloved Misty. Her updates gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Misty came back happy, healthy, and completely relaxed—he clearly felt at home and didn’t even want to leave! If you're looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely passionate about animals, I highly recommend Jessica. Your pet will be in the best hands!”
“Angela is just awesome with our Kaiser. We’ve used her services a few times and will continue to do so. Love getting the daily video updates. Kaiser is always so happy (and tired) when he gets home. Thanks, Angela.”
“What a wonderful experience. The house is made for dogs. Courtney and Ryan are wonderful pet owners themselves. Their dogs are laid back and got along beautifully with our dogs. The back yard has ramps for the dogs to run and play and lots of toys to enjoy. Can't stress enough how great this experience was.”
“Carol and family was a second home to Bauer! They took great care and we knew he was well looked after all weekend. We will definitely have Carol look after Bauer in the future without hesitation. Thank you so much!”
“Jianping treated my boy Teddy so well. This was Teddy's first time away from home and he came back to us happy and healthy. We were grateful for the experience Teddy had with Jianping and his family. I would consider them again and recommend to others.”
“When I leave my dog with Kollin, I don’t have to worry about anything because Kollin ensures I can enjoy my time out without having to worry about anything. Extremely friendly guy, I highly recommend him!”

“I recently left my 3.5 year old Golden Retriever, Scotch, with Yoda for the first time, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Like any pet parent, I was a little nervous about leaving him somewhere new, but Yoda quickly put my mind at ease. She was warm, communicative, and experienced with dogs. Throughout Scotch’s stay, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which meant the world to me. Most importantly, when I picked him up, he was calm, happy, and very comfortable, something that said more than words ever could. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with Scotch. I will be booking with Yoda again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible sitter!”
“Russo loves Michelle, she’s very attentive to him, in the walks he enjoys been surrounded with other dogs, he had the opportunity to make new friends , he always comes back happy”
“Sandra took great care of Buffy and developed a routine tailored to Buffy's needs. I loved her daily updates and appreciate her wealth of experience looking after dogs :)”
“Nayeli took excellent care of my cat, Ripley. She sent me photos and videos while I was away and my cat was relaxed when I picked her up. I would definitely book them for catsitting again!”
