Isabel and her husband were amazing. They were extremely flexible with the meet and greet and drop off/pick up times. You can tell that they genuinely love dogs and treated Duncan like their own while he was there. He looked so comfy and loved! I would absolutely book with them again and hope we get the chance to! Thank you both!🤗

Shayne and Jessica were 5 star sitters. This was our first time leaving our dog with sitters for 18 days. He was treated like family and fit in well with their two kids. They communicated well with us while we were gone. They sent us much appreciated pictures and videos on how he was doing. He enjoyed their fenced backyard and enjoyed sunning himself on their deck.

Midna had a great time during her eight day stay. This was my first time using Rover and Midna's first time at a sitter so I was a bit nervous but having a meet and greet helped. Karisa was also good with providing updates and letting me know about anything concerning regarding Midna. Overall Midna had a great experience!

Arden went above and beyond to ensure Ty was comfortable during my quick trip to Raleigh. Her home and incredible fenced-in backyard are the perfect setup for him to get his daily exercise in! She was great about sending daily updates (with photos), and I could tell how happy he was the entire time, feeling right at home :) I cannot recommend Arden enough - thank you again!!!

We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!

10/10 recommend Chase as a dog sitter! Chase provided daily updates on Sadie throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. He also arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand so Sadie could get comfortable in the new environment prior to the stay. He followed all instructions carefully and communicated any updates, additions, or modifications that came up during her stay. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent service. I highly recommend Chase and will definitely be using him again!
