“Andrea and family were fantastic. Our dog Stu seemed to love being there as soon as he arrived and we had no concerns about leaving him. They took him on a big adventure walk to a beach and musts have given him a bath as he came back soft and smelling cleaner then ever. Would definitely send Stu back there if we need a petsitter again!”
“We wanted to provide a review for Kendall who looked after our 10 yr old rescue Chihuahua Lucy. She was amazing at putting us and Lucy at ease. We had literally only travelled to places where we could take Lucy because she is so nervous and has such high needs. Kendall was quick to suggest a meet and greet prior to us agreeing to leave her for our first weekend away in years. Kendall really understood our concerns and graciously accepted all of the requirements of caring for our nervous, older dog. No jumping off the couch, she eats 3 times a day, special food and preparation, regular bathroom breaks. Medicine if and coughs, she usually sleeps on the bed with own large fluffy blanket (we brought her ramp, her kennel, her chair, her stuffy and several blankets). Although Lucy was nervous when we first left, each of Kendall’s many updates with pictures and text showed our little Lucy becoming ever more comfortable. Ultimately with her accepting cuddles and happily snoozing next to Kendall. We were delighted that Lucy seems to have bonded so well with Kendall’s calm, caring and attentive disposition. Definitely a 5 star review, and we would not hesitate to use Kendall again or recommend her services.”
“Ida and her dog Nala were very welcoming to our dog Maika who was quickly integrated in the family. It was her first time sleeping anywhere else than home. They played with her, brought her to walks, nature parks and dog parks, cuddled with her and remained attentive to her needs. We loved receiving daily reports with pictures of the day. At the end, our dog was reluctant to get in the car with us, as she had a great time with Ida and Nala. It helped that we first booked Ida for a walk then for a one night sleepover so our dog knew we would come back after our 5 nights trip. We will definitely book Ida again!”
“Guinness really enjoyed his stay with Kevin and Kayla. He was comfortable with them from the first meet and greet, which made me feel confident in choosing them to care for him while I was away. Communication was great and made my booking super easy. I’ll definitely book again!”
“Alisa did me a huge favour by watching my dog, Mylo overnight so that my partner and I could attend our friend’s going away party. She provided excellent care for my dog, took him on nice walks, and sent very cute photos and text updates so I knew my pet was in good hands. I highly recommend Alisa to care for your dog if you are in search of pet care now or in the future.”
“Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Olive! Her two dogs were so well-behaved and got along great with Olive. She kept me updated throughout the stay, sent me adorable pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. I could tell Olive was happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Stephanie again in the future. Thank you so much!”
“We had a great experience with Allan as our dog sitter for our Australian Shepherd mix, Rhea. Despite Rhea being a bit anxious and wary of new people, Allan’s calm and experienced approach put her at ease right away. He took her for a walk as soon as we dropped her off, which was a great way for them to get to know each other. Allan was incredibly responsive throughout the booking process. He also provided regular updates and photos that reassured us Rhea was in good hands. I would recommend Allan as a dog sitter and I'll be reaching out again when we need care for Rhea in the future.”
“Bruiser’s regular sitter was booked, so this was his first time with a new sitter — and Michaela was absolutely wonderful! She was so caring and thoughtful, proactively asking about his meds and food to make sure everything was just right. She kept me updated throughout and sent lots of great pictures, which really put me at ease. Bruiser was clearly in loving hands, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.”
“Alex was amazing with Charlie. He took great care of him, sent regular updates, and I could tell Charlie was happy and comfortable. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Jocelyn and her family were fantastic with our cat Willow!Great communication, Jocelyn sent us news,photo and video every day. I recommend Jocelyn for your pet care :) Thank you Jocelyn for taking very good care of Willow!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful with my high-energy working dog! She was communicative, send awesome pictures throughout the stay, and was just wonderful in general. Thank you Michelle!”
“Vicki was available last minute to look after our Ridgeback for his very fist night away. She was so good with meeting him for the first time. She was also great about communicating with us and let us know he had settled in nicely. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. Thank you Vicki! We will definitely be back!”
“Stephanie was very kind in assisting us to sea plane while picking up our dog. She followed our wishes and was on time and dependable with our pet. Highly recommend!”
“Amelia was very phenomenal taking care of my dog Tails. She was also very accommodating and understanding when I couldn't make it on time for pick up due to flight disruption. Strongly recommended to everyone for her outstanding service.”

Kori and Lola took great care of Bleu while we were out of town for 4 days. Bleu bonded with them immediately and seemed to settle right in from the start. Kori provided frequent updates and photos showing Bleu enjoying great walks and hikes. We are so pleased we found Kori.
Got it — short, warm, and app-ready: First time using Rover and Alex was fantastic. Great communication from start to finish, seamless meet & greet, drop-off and pick-up. The regular updates while we were away really put us at ease. Cookie came home happy, healthy, and totally herself. We’d absolutely book with Alex again!
Thanks so much Kirsten and family for sharing your welcoming home with Koda. I really appreciated the photos and the feed back about how he fit into your life and how he got along well with his new big brother Rory. He may be missing you all today. You were a great fit for my fur boy!
This is the second time we’ve trusted Michaela and Ben to care for Bella, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful care they provide when we travel. They give us complete peace of mind while we’re away and always keep us updated with photos. We highly recommend Michaela and Ben and will definitely use them again!
Awesome, Kona wasn’t interested in coming home with me. He likes Amber and her home better than he likes me haha. I was updated daily which was great. Kona needs to take a everyday and will hide it in his mouth rather swallow it and will spit it out ama different room. Amber was well aware of this, and managed this issue perfectly.
Asking Heather if she would watch Rosie again was a no-brainer! I sincerely appreciate Heather for her kind and caring ways. I had only a week notice for my request and Heather was responsive in coordinating with an overlapping booking to ensure both dog owners were comfortable having their dogs watched at the same time. It worked out and Rosie had a pleasant stay! She was well taken care of and it made for a worry-free travel on my end.
Highly recommend Sandeep! Molly and Clover felt right at home on the very first day. Sandeep is gentle, kind and treated our pups like his own. We loved getting all the videos and photos. Molly and Clover love their new home away from home! Thanks so much for everything Sandeep!
