Melody has been great with Bucky. I've had her watch my dog overnight everything I travel. She has been very reliable and flexible with drop off and pick up.

Alexis did an amazing job watching my doggo for me over the weekend while I was out of town! She sent multiple updates daily which included pictures of my dog having a great time:) I never had any doubts as to his safety and wellbeing. If you need your dog boarded I cannot recommend Alexis enough!

Doyle is the best. Our dog Kirby loves staying at his place when we can’t take us with us in our adventures. We know that he gets lots of love and attention. He even gets a weekly bath. He always comes back to us happy. It’s the next best thing to home. 😊

Roger was a great dog sitter and caregiver. He did such a great job!, He took care of our Cooper and Chloe and treated them like family. They went on walks, played, and had lots of snuggles. We will bring our fur babies to Roger again in the near future. You should definitely book Roger. He is awesome!

We had the most pleasant experience! This was our first time ever using Rover, and they made it such a positive one. They kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dogs were receiving lots of love and attention! We honestly felt like they were being spoiled the entire time! They truly went above and beyond for our pups and treated them as if they were their own. Their care, communication, and kindness made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend them and would absolutely trust them with our dogs again. ❤️🐾

Amy is absolutely fantastic! I reached out to her at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and kind. You can tell immediately that she truly loves animals. She went above and beyond to make sure my boy felt right at home, and that he had lots of exercise and walks. I am so grateful she could help us out on such short notice. I highly recommend Amy to anyone!

Robert was quick to reply and willing to be very accommodating! We did have a meet and greet though and it went well! My plans changed last minute so ultimately we didn’t need a sitter, but when i need one in the future—i would not hesitate to use Robert. He is kind and it is very clear that he is an animal lover.

Gabby and her family did an excellent job caring for and looking after Cooper for a night and day. They provided ample stimulation through backyard activities with other dogs and children. She sent nice videos/photos of Cooper letting me know he was doing okay and was timely in her communications. I would definitely go back again.

Jessica and Robert did a fantastic job watching my dog! They sent me daily updates and pictures so I knew she was happy and being taken care of. My dog has some quirks and they were great at communicating with me and making sure she got all the love and attention she needed while I was gone! They were great at easing my anxiety, and the next time I go on a trip I’ll definitely book with them again!

About: I have been watching friends and family animals for as long as I can remember. I love being able to give comfort to the animals when their parents are not able to. I do work full-time, but I’ve always been able to help out with my friends pets at least three times a day if not more when needed. I am not able to do in-home care at the client’s house-or overnight stays at my house at this time as I have an animal in my own.

Highly recommend! Ashley was great about being responsive and sending updates of how my pup was doing! I am positive my dog had a great time because she has been so tired and sleeping all day! I also had to pick her up a couple hours later than planned due to a flight delay, and Ashley was so flexible with us!

Jordan is simply the best. He cared for our dog just as we would, took her to the dog park to play, and even worked on some of the training we're trying to achieve. We can't recommend him highly enough.
