1. Christina G.
“She was great !!! I had to go out of town on business for a week and Christina boarded Eva with no problem, even on a short notice. She sent me pictures and videos daily of her playing with her dogs, sleeping, and getting tummy rubs. Eva turned 1 while with her and she went out to get Eva a birthday treat. She was amazing, 10/10 will be contacting her again for future boarding.”
2. Jacqueline D.
“Jester had a great time! Jacqueline shared lots of photos and videos to keep me updated which was awesome. Definitely recommend her and Clover too of course! Will be inquiring about future care.”
3. Bobbi L.
“I needed a sitter for my dog as I was going away for the week. I’m glad they popped up on my search! Bobbi and Brian are amazing. They treated Whiskey like he was their own, kept in communication with me and reassured me he was in good hands. They sent pictures every day and throughout the day and asked questions which I appreciated. I will definitely use them again whenever I head out of town. Thank you both so much!!!”
4. Christine S.
“Christine was great. Our Molly loved hanging with her. The dog park right across the street was very nice too! I’ll definitely hire Christine again that next time we need dog care.”
5. Ashley W.
“Ashley was terrific!! She took my sweet Sandy for the weekend and I don't think she's ever been happier anywhere else! I got constant updates which was so great even if my 6 year old didn't want to see "her puppy happy anywhere else" (they are attatched at the hip) Ashley and Luna are absolutley fantastic and I think sandy is missing her buddy now that she is home. We will definitley keep them in mind next time we need to go on a trip. Luna is a great sharer of her space and ice cream cups. A+++ for Luna for just being her”
6. Cecilia L.
“Cecilia was awesome with our dog Bella. It was the first time in a while that our dog had been with someone other than family, so she was super nervous. Cecilia spoiled her and made her feel comfortable. She was also great with providing daily updates and photos. Choose Cecilia if you are in need of boarding or just someone to watch your dog during the day.”
7. Denise R.
“Our dog had a great time with Denise and her husband. She had a backyard to play in, a porch to sit on, and someone to play ball with her. She came back happy and tired. Denise sent plenty of pictures, and responded quickly when setting up the stay. Highly recommend!”
8. Melissa B.
“Thank you Melissa! Max and Ringo had a great stay with you. They loved your fenced and shaded backyard and appreciated splashing in the doggie pool. It was the perfect environment!”
9. Christianna & Mary B.
“My puppy Milo had the BEST time with Christianna! This was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving Milo with a stranger - especially since he is 6 months and requires lot of attention! But this experience has been amazing! Christianna was amazing with Milo - giving us updates and photos, and answering all questions I had! Milo had so much active time and was taken care of so well! We will definitely be contacting Christianna in the future!! ?”
10. Genil W.
“Genil treated our dogs with such love and was even available at the last minute during the holidays! She sent photos halfway through the booking and was so sweet to work with!”
11. Kimberly M.
“Exceptional Dog Sitter! I am deeply grateful to Kimberly for her outstanding service when I entrusted my beloved furry friend to her care. Her exceptional dog-sitting experience exceeded my expectations. Kimberly's professional approach to dog sitting was evident in our communication. We comprehensively discussed my dog's habits, preferences, and special needs. Her attentiveness and thoughtful questions showed her commitment to understanding my dog's unique personality. During the sitting period, I received regular updates, including adorable photos and heartwarming updates that showcased genuine care. It was evident that my pet was not just a client but a cherished companion under their care. Kimberly went above and beyond to ensure my dog felt comfortable and loved. The attention to detail was remarkable, from maintaining feeding schedules to incorporating playtime and daily walks. I was particularly impressed by the clean and safe environment provided for my dog, demonstrating Kimberly's commitment to their well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Kimberly to anyone seeking a compassionate and reliable dog sitter. Her exceptional care, love for animals, and commitment to professionalism make them a standout choice. I am genuinely grateful for their peace of mind during my absence, and I will undoubtedly be reaching out to Kimberly for my future pet-sitting needs.”
12. Angela Y.
“Angela was so kind an welcoming even with a last minute booking. She was very responsive, sending picture updates throughout so I knew my boys were safe. She was even flexible when I was running late and was nothing but warm, kind and professional throughout. I got to pick up my boys happier than I left! I cannot thank her enough!”
13. Katherine B.
“Big thanks for taking such good care of our furry baby (again). Knowing she’s with people that treat her like family lets me relax and enjoy my adventure. Thanks again!!!”
14. Taylor D.
“Taylor was a wonderful sitter! Cleo was a little homesick at first but she worked with her to feel welcome and by pickup time she was like a part of the family.”
15. Yuliia B.
“Julia watched our dog, Daisy, while we were out on a 4 day vacation and I think Yuliia is amazing. She plays with Daisy, took her for walks, and cared for her like she was family. When we came back from our vacation Daisy didn't want to come back home! Daisy apparently had so much fun and felt at home at her house. She sent numerous pictures and texts about/of Daisy to help us feel at ease and limit our separation anxiety from our furry family member.”
16. Alexis D.
“Alexis is very nice and did a great job of watching our pup Alphie!! Loved the constant pictures/updates! Would recommend and will definitely be using her services in the future!”
17. Breanna K.
“Saying Breanna was amazing is an understatement! I just got Mario and was scared of his interaction with other people because I don’t know him well enough. She sent me pictures of him throughout the day and night and was so caring and passionate about him fitting in her environment. I am so appreciative of her and would use her a million times more!”
18. George S.
“My Puppy really enjoyed being spoiled by George with allowing him to lay on the bed...lol George was really great with my puppy... he provided text messages and videos of my puppy playing with his two dogs that he got along with. He was very professional and caring as well. I highly recommend him!”
19. Destiny B.
“Destiny and her family took great loving care of my senior baby, Meechie. She sent me photos and updates to reassure me that Meechie was getting great care, love and attention. I would DEFINITELY use Destiny in the future and would reaffirm that any pet left in her care would feel like a second home. ❤️🎊🥇🏆”
20. Gerrit & Kathleen E.
“Gerrit and his family love dogs and it shows in every interaction. Our girl always gets lots of walks and cuddles. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that our pup is so well cared for when she can’t be with us.”
