“John was fantastic. My dog seemed like he had a fantastic time. Every photo I received was my dog having the time of his life. Super reliable and was super flexible with some last minute changes.”
“River had a great stay with Rosan. He had a great time playing with his dog Oggie. Rosan sent pictures every day and we were confident that he was in great hands. Highly recommend.”
“Our second time using Jackie! They take great care of pansy and are very attentive to all of her specific needs. We felt totally comfortable with them and could enjoy our vacation while getting cute pictures and updates on her!”
“Couldn’t imagine better care! I boarded my pup with Michele for a few days, and she was super communicative, flexible and kind. I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her right away. Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Laura is the best dog sitter. She likes to make sure each dog will fit into the “pack” environment with her other dogs. My dog loved being around other dogs! It was like summer camp. He was very well cared for. I would highly recommend Laura.”
“Christopher was an excellent sitter for our elderly dog Emilie. This was our first time with him, and he was super flexible with our constantly changing schedule. He sent photos daily, kept us informed about how she was doing, and when my husband picked her up, she did not seem anxious to leave. At all! The home is lovely, nice big fenced yard, and their dog is a sweetheart.”
“I always get nervous leaving Bert, especially with someone new, but Natalie and Pat (and Scarlette) made me feel so at ease. They showered Bert with love and sent me frequent pictures and updates. I knew he was well taken care of in their care. I will absolutely be bringing Bert back :) I can't thank you guys enough!”
“Could not recommend Kayla more. My dog is getting up there in years and needs more specialized care, and I felt super comfortable leaving her with Kayla. She clearly has a ton of experience and, just aa importantly, absolutely loves dogs. She also sent tons of pictures which I always appreciate.”
“Nicole is so nice and flexible in our dropping off time. We had to drop our cat 2 hours late which was almost 10 pm because of long drive with bad traffics. Our female cat is very dependent and usually doesn’t let strangers carry her, but she let Nicole😻 Also Nicole updated us in the morning how our cat was doing. We would love to ask her to take care of our cat again.”
“Brooke was an amazing sitter for our dog, Huck. She was quick to respond, sent updates while we were away, and provided a comforting environment for our anxious pup. Huck seemed to get along really well with her dog, and we could tell he was tired and happy when we went to pick him up. Would highly recommend Brooke and we would love to work with her again in the future!”
“Cia was great with my pup and he seemed to have a very happy time staying with her. Cia was very quick to respond to messages. I would 100% love to use her again and would recommend her to anyone needing a caretaker for their pup.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was feeling pretty anxious to be honest. Anneke was so great, willing to do a meet and greet to make sure honey was comfortable, and provided regular updates/ photos while we were away. Would definitely recommend!”
“Danielle cared for our dog River for an entire week at her house. River is a young, very high energy dog and Danielle did a great job handling him, especially with the other dogs that were staying with her. Her communication is excellent and we received pictures and texts daily. She has a beautiful, wide open space for the dogs to run off leash. I would not hesitate to leave your dog with Danielle!”
