“Christine took excellent care of our special needs pup Dexter. We're always a little nervous when he stays with a new boarder for the first time due to his health issues, but she followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated on how Dexter was doing. She had a few other boarders but still gave Dexter all the attention he needed. Would 100% recommend her and we hope to book her again for our next trip.”

“Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.”

“Kelly was so wonderful with dog sitting Jayke. She was patient, kind, and chill which is what I needed for my anxious lil shih tzu. She sent pictures without me even having to ask and was very nice and professional. I will definitely book again. Thank you so much!”

“Luciana took great care of our little dog. She sent photos right away to show that he had settled in happily and stayed in touch during his stay with more pics, update/any questions. She made sure our picky eater got enough to eat. We would definitely use Luciana again.”

“Piper had another great week with Jordan. He kept us up to date on all of Piper’s adventures while we were on vacation. Piper got lots of love and exercise, and came home one happy dog. Jordan was also flexible in accommodating changes to our schedule, which was much appreciated!”

“This is the fourth time that Paul has watched Murphy. Always takes great care of him! It’s gives us peace of mind knowing that Murphy is in good hands while we are out of town. The highest endorsement is how excited our pup gets when he see’s Paul.”

“Zuleirys went the extra mile to pick up and drop off my fur girl, Vivi with care. Vivi had a grand time with her for one week while I attended a conference. Zuleirys helped me feel at ease, knowing Vivi was in good hands. She sent me the pictures of Vivi daily. I will gladly use her service again in the near future!”

“Chris is amazing and patient with my girls. I love how he sends videos and photos often. I feel so confident that they are being taken care of and that they are happy!”

“Elena was awesome!! Nala loved her and I came back to the happiest puppy! I asked her to be very communicative as I struggle to be away from my sweet girl and she did exactly that. Would recommend 10/10”

“Nina was absolutely amazing while boarding my boy, Abe! She went above and beyond from the start — she even met me beforehand near my place since I don’t have a car, which was such a huge help. During Abe’s stay, she sent me tons of updates, photos, and the sweetest little stories about his day, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she cared for him like he was her own. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kerstyn was so wonderful and attentive. She was super communicative throughout the time my dog boarded with her, sending me updates on what my dog was up to. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was in good hands and having a good time. It was a great experience both for my dog and for me. She was sensitive to any concerns or specific attention areas that I had as well. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need to leave my dog in trusted hands, and I’m sure my dog would be happy to return as well.”

“Isabelle took great care of my dog. She took her on walks and was considerate of her needs. You can trust your pet to her knowing she will love it as her own and I appreciate her willingness to he accomodating with pickup/dropoff when I needed.”
“My pup, Kai, had a wonderful stay with Geoff and his crew! Geoff is an excellent communicator and sent multiple pics daily, which makes a doggo mama very happy and relieved! Kai asked when he can visit again! 🐶☺️”

“Jodee and AJ are very experienced and took great care of my pup even providing pictures and updates. Being her first time with a rover I was slightly apprehensive but it couldn’t have gone smoother. The family was very attentive!”

“Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard”

“Very pleased! This was our first time using a Petsitter outside of our family/friends and we couldn’t have been more impressed. I know our pup was in super hands. Very appreciative of Kerry’s updates, and we could tell that Riggs felt comfortable and happy the whole time we were away. Kerry is wonderful!”

“Nicole has been an amazing sitter for my dog. I appreciated the great communication and photo updates. I don’t often need pet care services but I would definitely rebook with Nicole.”

“Gonzie & Alison truly went above and beyond to make sure our 6 month old puppy, Moose, was taken care of while we were out of town for the weekend. They were welcoming, communicative, and really treated our pup like their own. Moose had so much fun that, when it was time to pick him up, he didn’t want to leave!”

“Zulay took care of our pup for a week while we were out of the country. She is kind and loving and sent us messages and videos every day. Our pup was super happy there and actually seemed sad to come back home! 😜 We will definitely use Zulay again”

“Cindy is excellent with dogs. She took great care of our dog muffin while we were having an outing. She did not let any anxiety ruin our outing by sending reassuring pictures of our dog. Thank you Cindy”
