8. Joey & Cristin F.
“Joey and Cristin are the most wonderful couple, with a loving and safe home for my pup while I’m away! I always receive pictures of his stay, many of which are adorable shots of my pup snuggled up with their two daughters. They have a fenced in yard, are flexible for last minute changes, and very responsive. They have become our go-to puppy sitter and we couldn’t be more pleased! Highly recommend utilizing their services. 👍🏼”

“Kat and her family were absolutely amazing! We had to find a new sitter last minute and they were very accommodating. Kat made sure to follow our specific feeding instructions.

14. Katie C.
“I was going to use a previous sitter through Rover that I used several times and was very satisfied with however they live quite a distance from me and I decided to find someone closer. My next door neighbor told me he was very happy with the lady he boarded his dog with and said she was very good.I called her , re-activated my account with Rover and was very satisfied that I did.Katie was very good with my little dog Lexi.I would not want to leave her with anyone that I was not totally comfortable with. From the time I met Katie ,I felt very at ease leaving Lexi with her .With all the pictures and post she sent , I knew she was a great choice . Thank you again Katie .I know who I will be calling the next time I need help with Lexi again .”
15. Chris D.
“I am soooo happy I brought my 3 small dogs to stay with Chris and Joann! Not only are they lovely people, they are true doggie people. My dogs have been through a lot recently (they were my mom's and she recently passed) and upon my return I can tell they were happier than they have been in a while. I think they loved the big fenced yard to run around and gets lots of sniffs in :-) It was obvious the doggies got lots of love and great care while they were boarded. Chris and Joann sent me photos throughout each day, which I really enjoyed. I definitely recommend them with all my heart and will board with them again. Every dog is in good hands here. Thank you Chris and Joann!!”
16. Page M.
“Great experience with Page ,she took great care of my precious Beagle for 6 days. During a very tough week of over 7 inches of rain, Page kept my boy happy and high and dry, I am sure it was quite a challenge with potty breaks and walking, Thanks again Page you are highly recomended!!”
17. Tina & Bill H.
“Brandi is always treated like family when she is with Bill & Tina. She enjoys her walks and the buggy stroller. I think I just saw her put one on her Christmas list. I never worry anymore about having to leave my fur baby because I don't. I sent her to Bill and Tina's puppy camp and you should too!”
18. Danette H.
“I can't rave enough about Danette! My boys were so happy and well cared for while I was away! Thank you!!!!”
19. Maria D.
“Maria is a wonderful sitter! It was nice for my pup Bruno to have another active dog to hang with and enjoy some activities. Communication was spot on at all times and pickup/drop off was easy!”
20. Veronica G.
“I left my baby with Veronica over the weekend and I’m honestly so impressed. He came back so happy and so well-behaved. I have never worried about him over the weekend. I had plenty of pictures and video updates to make sure that he was safe. I’ll definitely be using Veronica over and over and over again.”
