“First time using River and was very happy to have found Paige to keep my dog Skippy. The communication was great! I received daily updates with pictures! I will definitely continue to use Rover and hopefully Paige will be available!”
“Lisa was wonderful! This was our first time having to leave our baby with someone that he doesn’t know and it was great. If you want someone who will continually send pictures, videos and updates, Lisa is the one. I will definitely be booking with her again, no doubt about it!”
“Kayla and her husband are absolutely amazing. Karen has the best time with them and we are always so thankful to Kayla! Her pups treat Karen like she is part of the family and she is always so sad to leave them.”
“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”

“My dog had an amazing time with Gregory and his family! Not only did he take excellent care of my dog, he help me with some issues I was having with some of his puppy behavior! I would give more stars if I could.”
“Amani took great care of our girls while we were away. Amani kept us up to date with pictures, videos and messages. She followed all of our care instructions. The girls loved running and exploring in her large fenced yard! The girls were worn out from all the playtime they got and crashed when they got home. We would definitely recommend Amani to care for your pets!”
