1. Lawrencia C.
“Lawrencia and her dog, Duke, made sure our dog, Mina, had a great time while we were out of town for the night! This was our first time using Rover over a traditional boarding facility, and I don't think we'll ever go back. This was way more personal, and Mina loved making a new friend who matches her high energy level! They were great and we plan to use them again this weekend! Thanks for taking great care of our girl!”

3. Jessica M.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! We needed someone on a very short notice, but right off the bat she made us feel confident that she was the home to keep an eye on our pups. She was very warm, kind and welcoming of our puppies. She kept us informed and simply did a phenomenal job. We can’t recommend her enough! If you are looking for someone to treat your pups like their own, look no further.”

9. Marianna Z.
“I recently had the opportunity to use Marianna for my pet, and I am pleased to share my experience with fellow pet owners seeking a reliable and caring service for their dogs. From the initial contact to the final pickup, my experience with Marianna was nothing short of exceptional. Her genuine affection for my girls was evident in their interactions. Mari was professional, knowledgeable, and, most importantly, communicated regularly with updates and photos, which eased my mind while I was away. Our girls returned home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for, which speaks volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend Marianna to anyone in need of dog-sitting services. Her commitment to providing the highest level of care, coupled with her compassion, makes Marianna a top choice for pet owners who want the best for their furry family members.”

16. Tess W.
“My rescue pup had a great stay with Tess and her family (pets included). She sent me a bunch of videos and pics throughout Blu’s stay which was very reassuring and great to check in while I was away. I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all because she was so communicative and I could tell Blu was happy from the videos. Very flexible with pick up and drop off arrangements. Will be rebooking for my next trip. :)”

19. Megan M.
“Most loving sitter, amazing as always! Ozzie loves staying here and I love the peace of mind I get when he’s with her because I know how much Megan loves taking care of him. I can tell she’s not just doing this for cash, she genuinely loves the fur babies sooo much. And bonus, she takes professional level pictures of him and sends me several a day which is THE BEST.”
20. Debra A.
“Debra did a wonderful job at looking after Gus! She sent pics and kept me updated on how he was doing. I will definitely see if she's available next time we go out of town.”
