“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”



“Kathleen was great! She accommodated me at the last minute when I really needed her and put my mind at ease! She was very thorough and caring while getting to know Munchkin’s habits and interests. She has a very nice house with a fenced in yard where she could run around and play. She updated me regularly with photos and videos of her and took her on a long walk. Kathleen was a fantastic find.”



“Victoria took excellent care of Uno. She sent prompt updates twice daily, I could tell Uno was very happy. Thank you for taking great care of him.”


“Nelia and her precious family take dog sitting to a very high level! Always will be my first choice for future bookings! Hershey was treated like part of her family with lots of love, attention and exercise. Nelia sent frequent updates with great photos of him with her children, outside in the backyard, and on neighborhood walks. It was my longest time away from him. It was hard for me, but Nelia made it so much easier knowing how well he was being cared for. Nelia followed my instructions exactly and was very flexible with last minute changes with my work schedule and needing to drop him off a day earlier. Flexible with drop off time also. She invited me to stop over for a meet and greet before the first drop off after our first phone call. You learn a lot from meet and greets and I highly recommend them for everyone! Meet Nelia and her family and you will agree that she is a great choice!”


“Our dog loves going to Emily & Patrick's! He started wagging his tail the moment we got there this last time. It makes vacation so relaxing to know he is so happy and well cared for at their place.”



“This was my first time using Rover for an extended stay (2 weeks) and Amy was great! She sent pictures everyday and updates of mango playing with the other dogs. I appreciate that Amy does a meet and greet and requires vaccinations ahead of time. She was also quite responsive to my texts!”


“We are so happy with our dog's care by Michael and his wife while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Our dog is a nervous dog so they paid close attention to her and she settled in nicely. They sent us updates every day with a photo. We will definitely use them again!”


“Wow ! First time dog owners and Sarah put as at ease She went sbovw and beyond. Sofie had more freedoms in their house and Sarah sent us pictures videos everyday. Even when I didn't respond! She is professional yet human at same time. They are awesome and this review does not contain entire story”


“Amy is truly the best! She is attentive and communicates very well. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her :) My dog can’t wait to come back!!”


“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”


“My cat is anxious and shy and Audrey did a great job keeping her comfortable. She was very responsive and I received regular updates. My cat didn’t want to leave her at the end haha. Would recommend her to anyone. Thanks for everything! 🩷”


“I am always a little nervous when I leave my pup with someone new but AJ was great with Tater. He put me at ease knowing that my pup was being taken care of so well. He gave my puppy full range of his home and gave him the necessary play/exercise. I would recommend AJ.”


“Sebastian was an amazing host to my dog Jerry. He took very good care of him & sent us timely updates. They were flexible with our schedule for deop off & pick up which was very kind and helpful. Overall Jerry had a great stay. I would highly recommend Sebastian, he is amazing!”


“Kevin was great with our dog King. He kept us updated on how he was doing and sent us pictures while we were away. He took King on many long walks. King had so much fun he didn't want to leave when I came to pick him up lol. Thanks for taking such good care of him.”


“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took the time to get to know him individually, making sure to take detailed notes during their first meeting and asked thoughtful questions about his care. Throughout the experience, Ashley provided us with frequent updates and was always quick to respond. Our pup adored her, and she treated him like a member of her own family.”


“Our experience and care with Vidhi was wonderful from start to finish. We were leaving for vacation and our original sitter plans fell through less than a week before leaving. Thankfully, Vidhi was available and promptly responded to the request. She was so accommodating to our schedule and a few changes that popped up. Furthermore, she made sure to make Mira feel comfortable and at ease in her home. Frequent walks, play time, and lots of pictures made us feel comfortable while we were away! Will definitely keep Vidhi in mind for future sitter needs.”


“Denise and her husband did such a wonderful job with my dog, Parker. It was my first time using their services and they made me feel comfortable and worry free while I was away with frequent updates and photos. Highly recommend! Hope to be able to book with them again soon. Thank you :)”


“Laura was awesome!”


“I was a scared puppy mom to leave my dog for the first time with someone I didn’t know. Christy was great, and Terrance had so much fun! She sent daily pictures and always responded to me very quickly. I’ll definitely be using her again for future trips!”


“We were so pleased with the care Harvey was given during his stay. It’s never easy leaving your pet while away, but Beth provided updates which put us at ease. Harvey looked happy and had all the fun. We will definitely be using Beth for future sitting needs. Thank you both again- Harvey is still worn out from his fun stay at the pet oasis. 🥰”
