1. Chelsea B.
“Chelsea went above & beyond for us. First she agreed to take on our senior dog for an extended stay on relatively short notice. The petsitter who’d agreed to take him backed out when she heard he had a cough, even though it wasn’t kennel cough. She didn’t blink an eye at the fact that he needed small meals 6 times a day due to the medications he was taking. She understood my directions (and it was complicated!). He never has accidents at home but I know he’s had a tendency towards him when boarded & that didn’t phase Chelsea either. Of course she also shared photos of him. You won’t regret leaving your dog with Chelsea, no matter their age (our dog is 15).”
2. Zeiydah L.
“Zeiydah is a lifesaver! She helped our family with very short notice. Zeiydah sent pictures multiple times per day to ease the anxiety of leaving our pet behind. We will use her again.”
3. Juliana & Jesse M.
“Juliana and Jesse were so great with my pup. They sent lots of pictures and updates! Will definitely book again.”
4. Kyle W.
“My 8 year old, Curly Coated Retriever, had never been boarded before. Kyle made me so comfortable at our initial meet & greet that it reduced my trepidation of being away from my girl for the first time & I knew she was in good hands. Kyle’s daily pictures & comments made being away from my girl so much easier. It was very clear seeing how much Kyle loved dogs and she was such a good caregiver to my girl. I would strongly recommend Kyle’s service to anybody who wants to ensure their dog is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her furry friends.”
5. Jayla L.
“Jayla was sooo sweet with my boy! He has separation anxiety and I can tell Jayla was very attentive and gave the best care for him. Can't thank Jayla enough:)”
6. Christopher T.
“Absolutely amazing person! I was nervous at first to use Rover, but when I met Christopher I was instantly comfortable with him and his home. He’s super assuring and I loved the pictures he sent me through out my pets visit. Number one on my list to call for a sitter!”
7. Tiffany M.
“Tiffany was excellent with my 3 fur babies. I have one of each age group and she was able to accommodate them all. She send frequent pictures and videos with updates and was very responsive to my text messages. Good communication is so important when leaving your babies in the care of someone else. I will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend her services!”
8. Maggie D.
“Maggie was great with our bulldog that can struggle at night time separated from us. He came back healthy, happy, and tired! Will be using again.”
9. Emily Z.
“Emily was an excellent pet sitter! Our pup has a new best friend! She kept us informed with plenty of updates and sent lots of great photos. We will definitely use her again if we need a sitter. Thanks Emily!”
10. Sky S.
“Treated my furbaby like the prince that he is. 10/10 would recommend!”
11. Patricia E.
“From our very first interaction, Patricia made us feel comfortable and confident in her abilities. She took the time to get to Luna and understand her routines and preferences, which really put us at ease. Patricia not only provided excellent care but also kept us updated with regular messages and photos, allowing us to enjoy our time away without worry. It's evident that she has a genuine love for animals, and her kindness towards Luna shone through every day. We appreciate her flexibility and willingness to adapt to any specific needs or changes in plans. With Patricia, you can trust that your furry family member is in the best hands possible. We can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. If you're looking for someone who is attentive, dedicated, and passionate about pet care, look no further than Patricia! Highly recommended!”
12. Samantha M.
“Samantha did a great job taking care of my dog, who was adopted during COVID. She was never able to stayed together with another dog before, and I haven’t sent her away before for more than half a day. PomPom stayed at a commercial dog care place for half a day before, and she was miserable there. But Samantha did something magic. I was kept updated by pictures and videos from Samantha, and was so happy to see that my shy anti-social girl appeared to be very happy with Samantha. Definitely recommend Samantha and I’m sending my dog back soon when our family is out for 1 week vacation.”
13. Lori H.
“Lori was very attentive to our puppy’s visit . He can be a handful be she managed him very well. She kept us posted bd it was much appreciated. I would highly recommend her.”
14. Brad & Mery R.
“Brad and Mery were great. They sent us photos of our little buddy the entire time we were away to let us know he was ok. They were very caring and accommodated us when we had delays in flights with no problem”
15. Maegan K.
“Maegan and Her Family Were Great With Our Dog Luke …They Made Him Feel at Home while he was There…I Will Be Using Her Again Soon for My Next Vacation…”
16. Gillian G.
“Gillian made us feel so comfortable after the meet and great! She treated our puppy like one of her own and we really enjoyed the picture updates showing us that Loki was having a blast!”
17. Brianna S.
“We have never left our dog Belle with anyone but family. Was so nice to have the piece of mind that Belle was being so well taken care of. We definitely recommend Brianna and will be using her again.”
18. Brigid O.
“Brigid is an animal lover of the first order and I would strongly recommend her for your pet sitting or walking needs. She is incredibly conscientious, responsible and cautious. I have known her a long time and she grew up with pets and has always had pets. She took care of my dog for a week when my brother had to cancel at the last minute. My dog was a nervous type but Brigid did everything right. She calmed her down, got her to eat and gave me updates all the time. I have no doubt she would take great care of your pet. Her own dog is 17 years old which should be advertisement enough as to how good a pet sitter she would be.”
19. Imonia R.
“Nia was fantastic! She was flexible with our schedule as asked to change the pick up and drop off times. She also took Vader on a couple of walks, and groomed him! He left smelling better than he has in a long time!”
20. Jen S.
“Jen was great with providing pictures of my pup daily and I could see how happy my dog was enjoying the time! She always was very awesome with communication. Will def book again”
