“They were great! Keep me updated on my animals and sent plenty of pictures. I knew my animals were well taken care and trusted my animals were safe. Would use Sylvia and Micheal again!”


“Elaine is an amazing sitter for our dog Otis! He always comes back happy, and when she picks him up he literally runs out the front door and jumps into her SUV like "Let's go!! Yay! Vacay time!!"”


“Christopher watched my small dog for 9 nights and sent photos of her with a daily update every day, which I appreciated. Christopher really put my anxiety with leaving her at ease! When I picked her up, I could tell she had been well taken care of by her demeanor and lack of signs that she had eaten something she’s intolerant to. I would definitely book again and recommend Christopher to care for your beloved fur babies!”


“Haleigh was such an accommodating host to my sweet girl roonie! She was so thoughtful and communicative and sent me so many cute photos of my girl while she was watching her! I would recommend Haleigh to anyone!!”


“Carolyn is fantastic, she has such a warm heart and is kind, compassionate, and fantastic at communication. She sent multiple updates of my pup while I was on a work trip, including pictures, videos, and text. Carolyn also proposed a meet and greet before I even booked with her, and was understanding and quick to find a solution to accommodate when my return flight was delayed for pick up. Highly recommend!!”


“This was Lulu’s first visit but it was easy to see that she enjoyed her stay, playing with other small dogs and lying in the sun. Desmond and Dayna grew to know her well, her habits and likes. I will take her back again to stay with them.”


“Randy and Mary were such a pleasure to work with! They took such great care of our dog Trooper. It was so evident to us when our boy was all smiles, relaxed, and happy as could be when we came to pick him up. He loved being able to run and play with the other dogs in their spacious yard, and we loved getting videos of our guy while we were away. The peace of mind and trust mean everything to us, and we will definitely use Mary and Randy’s services the next time we are out of town.”


“Both Markus and Simona were fantastic people. They kept me constantly updated on how my dog was doing and were great with him. I'd use them again in a heartbeat if I needed sitters.”


“Lola had another great stay with Jocelyn. It’s so nice to be able to leave her knowing she feels immediately comfortable and relaxed. Jocelyn is an excellent sitter!”


“My dog is so shy around strangers, but Kathy really knew how to treat her. I didn't worry and was able to enjoy our get-away. I've already booked another stay with Kathy.”


“It was the best experience we ever had. Michele and her husband are amazing people who loves dogs. They took very good care of our Goldendoodle. Michele sent me pictures daily and reports on our Iris. She did soo much extra, brushed her, gave her treats , I am impressed , and even we live little bit far away, we don’t mind to drive to have this great experience. Our dog had best time ever , lots of exercise as the backyard is huge and beautiful nature around. Our dog had soo much fun with other dog. We were happy to know she is in good hands.”


“Debbie is so sweet. Marko had a really nice time and enjoyed snuggling up to Debbie. She really creates a fun safe environment for the dogs and communicates well. She paid close attention to her treat ingredients as Marko was allergic to chicken and sent us photos of play time which put us at ease through our time away. Best experience on Rover. We will continue to work with Debbie!”


“Henry loved his weekend at Steve’s! Steve was accommodating and quick to respond. Steve shared updates and pictures during the stay. Henry had a blast with Steve’s dogs, he slept for the majority of the day after I picked him up so I know he thoroughly enjoyed himself! Will book with Steve again in the future. Thanks so much, Steve!”

During pick-up, I could easily see how comfortable and happy our dog was with Susan! We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Colleen took really great care of our medium poodle. She sent multiple pictures everyday, and it looked like my skittish poodle got along well with her chill Jackson. Wonderful care and service. Highly recommend Colleen!”
