“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”

“This is the third time Savannah has watched Reggie. He recently had IVDD surgery which called for him to have a bit of extra care. Her experience in animal behavior and working at a vets office really gives her an edge for assisting him. I know I can always put my full trust in Savannah with Reggie’s care.”

Max has been so happy to have Bethany stay with while I'm on vacation. He's a spoiled boy when she's around, that's for sure! He gets so many walks and adventures and attention and I come home to happy dog and a clean house. I will absolutely use Bethany again next time we're in town!!
Jody was so wonderful. I had to find a pet sitter short notice and she was not only so accommodating but made me feel so comfortable with leaving Fern. She sent so many pictures and kept me constantly updated. Would very highly recommend using Jody as she has lots of love to share with pups :)
Claire stayed with my golden retriever puppy, Wilson (who is at times a handful 😂) and was just fabulous! She was so responsive and took care of him and our home perfectly! I am so thankful to have found Claire and look forward to working with her again! Your pet would be lucky to hang out with her! 🥰
Courtney did a fabulous job watching our two dogs over the weekend. It was our first time using an overnight rover and Courtney made us feel at ease by sending us photos of the dogs each day and was willing to communicate /respond quickly if needed. She also treated our house with respect. Definitely recommend!
Katie did a great job with Murphy and kept him happy while I had to go out of town for work. She sent me multiple updates throughout the day talking about walks they went on and what Murph got up to while I was gone. She was great at following the directions I left and I came home to a clean house and a happy dog. I would definitely use her again!
Lauryn took excellent care of Bailey and our home. We had an emergency at the house while Lauryn was watching Nailey overnight. She handle the issue responsiblyy, communicating with us and handling items until my husband could get home. She clearly went above and beyond. I would definitely ask Lauryn to watch Bailey again.
