“What a great place if your dog ever needs a home away from home! Such a welcoming friendly family, along with their doodle 😊. Sent me text and picture updates frequently, which really gave me a peace of mind. Would 100% recommend, and will definitely use again if needed.”
2. Siobhan H.
“Siobhan is an excellent sitter. She was very attentive to Cairo’s needs from the moment we dropped him off and sent us updates daily to let us know how he was faring. It was great to be able to leave him and know he was in good hands. She was very flexible and understanding and made sure that we were able to vacation stress free without worrying about how our dog was doing. I would 100% reccomend her to others.”

“Mariah was truly AWESOME with my pups...no kidding, my dogs seem like they mourned the loss of her, her husband and their fur babies. They had so much fun, they are still moping a bit at home.

“I was blessed to find Taijah B. at the last minute to keep my baby while I was on vacation. All of my other sitters were on vacation as well. She let us come over before she kept him to make sure it was a perfect fit. My baby took to them and they him immediately. I was so impressed that he wasn't going to be caged the whole time he was there. She even trusted my furbaby around her human baby. I will definitely use her forever. Thank you for having someone dependable like her on Rover. Now I felt confident that I can go on vacation and someone will love my baby like I do. Thank you Taijah.”
