“Deborah & Dick W. Are a wonderful pet sitter who took excellent care of our furry family member Stitch! Right when we first met them, and their son, we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with our Stitch! Their daily videos updates brought us laughs and joy during our vacation, watching our dog play with other dogs was a plus and they made time to make sure he got plenty of walks and exercise. When we came home after our trip, our dog Stitch was relaxed and happy. Thank you very much!”
“These guys wow went out of thier way to make me feel comfortable and secure leaving Lua... Lua is not for weak people and they handled her like she was a puppy... always sending photos videos and msgs while I was away. Tell you what. The night I dropped Lua off was a night from hell the snow storm hit got my car stuck down thier street.. but he came to my help and pushed me out so I could get home and pack for my flight... I will use these guys as long as they let me.. amazing people.. truly a gift from God. I moved here from Ontario Canada in November no friends or family here.. just my Lua... so thank you from the bottom of my heart .. you guys rock. DAVID”
“Very loving and communicative sitters! They take caretaking guidance/instructions seriously and integrated my dog into their daily life. I couldn’t ask for a more comfortable setting for my dog in my absence.”
“Katlynn did an amazing job taking care of our puppy. She sent pictures of our fur baby daily, cleaned the bedding and bathed our dog before we picked her up. She went above and beyond! Definitely using her again when we need someone to watch our dog!”
“Dan and Kelly were amazing with our two dogs!! This is our first time using Rover and also our first time leaving our pups with someone who wasn’t our family, they are 8 & 9. Though we were fairly short notice, Dan helped walk us through the Rover process, allowed us to do a meet and greet ahead of time, and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Not knowing how our dogs would do as a first time away from us with non-family, there was a lot of anxiety on our side and it all was put to rest with videos and pictures of our pups having a great time there! There’s no doubt our dogs have some quirks but Dan and Kelly took amazing care of them and made them/us feel very welcome! Their house is very pet friendly with the toys, beds, and large fenced in backyard. So grateful to have found them, and strongly recommend them for your furry family members!”
“Alexandra was just wonderful with our fur baby. He got lots of exercise and cuddles. She sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. Thanks for taking such good care of our baby!”
“Wow, Timothy went ABOVE and BEYOND!!! We received so many photo updates everyday. (And he got CUTE photos of my non-photogenic dog somehow haha!) He took them for a walk everyday, gave them lots of outside play time, gave us multiple updates a day, helped us load up their stuff in the car upon pickup….just greatly exceeded our expectations. HIGHLY recommend!”

“This was our first time leaving our puppy, I was nervous but Wendy made us feel comfortable with leaving him. She is great with communicating and sending pictures of his time with her, it was like he was part of the family. I would highly recommend Wendy! Thank you for taking such great care of him💙”
“Sam kept Appa very happy. She sent pictures to show he was doing well. Immediately when we got out of the car, she engaged with Appa and it was obvious this would be a good place for him to stay. I would strongly recommend Sam and if I have a future need I hope she will be available.”

The only problem was he liked Loretta so much that he didn’t want came back home when I shown up to pick him up. lol… thank you Loretta and family.”

“Wonderful sitter to my 2 small breed pups, one of which requires a daily medication and eye on her behavior/habits due to some health issues!! Amanda is so good about communicating with you, sending you pictures and videos and asking you questions about anything she’s unsure about. Working with Amanda you get the bonus of her family loving and caring for your pets, too! I’ve used Amanda twice for multiple day stays and have been very happy both times. Thanks so much!!”
“Caitlyn was very pleasant and treated our pup well. She made sure we were comfortable with the whole situation, even inviting us over to meet her and her family prior to the booking. She made sure that our pup was happy and exercised. There were no concerns or issues and we will use her again.”
“Koda seemed to have had a great time she was definitely tired all day after we picked her up so we know she got good playtime. Thank you so much. We will definitely reach out again next time we go out of town.”
