“Clara provided the best care for Buddy and ensured he had plenty of opportunities for play, exercise, and attention. When I picked Buddy up after his weekend stay, he was happy and slept all the way home. I highly recommend Clara!”

“Our dog stayed with Danielle for three nights and had a great time. Communication was excellent and we felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands with a welcoming family.”
“I am a pet sitter on Rover and when Laura and Jeff asked about my experiences with the service I heartily encouraged them to sign up. They are responsible, reliable and loving pet owners and will be fabulous hosts for Rover. Their property is ideal for dog fun and their Labrador, JJ is always up for a play date. Your pet will receive the care and security that you should expect and they will become your go-to best option whenever you need to leave your pup behind while traveling.”

“This is the first time we had ever used Rover and it was a great experience. We received several pictures to see how Layla was doing during her 18 day stay. I highly recommend Katy to care for your dogs. We will be back again!!!”
“The best review I can give is that I think my dog was depressed to be home because he missed Kathy and her husband so much!! Chewy loved being there,I loved getting the pictures to start my day. Best experience ever for me and my pup!!”
“Heather is an incredible animal owner and care provider. She does everything in her power to give each of her animals the healthiest, most fulfilling life possible and does the same for any pet she watches. You can be confident your pet will be happy and healthy under her care!”
“Janice was so amazing. She updated me on how my pupper girl was doing and Winnie came home happy and obviously very well taken care of. She has been sleeping almost the whole day so I guess she had a fabulous time.”
“I really appreciate Trina's time and disposition to take care of Deborah. Trina was careful and attentive to instructions, I would totally recommend her as a little friend sitter. Her dogs are lovely and I am sure Deborah had a good time with them.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Madison for her care of our house full of critters! The reality is that with 4 small dogs and 2 cats, we've always hesitated to leave at all, but with her care, it's a whole lot easier! While we were away, we received regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind. When we returned, our pets were happy, relaxed, and in great spirits. Of note, our last trip out of town involved our leaving our dogs with Madison and her family, at their home. Her home is a lively one with kids, pets and play! Our dogs thrived there, and seemed especially enthusiastic to be part of the 'pack.' Each one of her dogs is lovely, welcoming and made our dogs feel at home. I know it sounds odd, since they're dogs - but honestly, it's like they're their own little hospitality team! Anyway, we’re grateful to have found such a reliable and caring sitter. We highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to take care of their furry family member!”
“Nayoma was great. We met a week before for a meet and greet at her house and got to know our dogs. While taking care of our dogs, kept us posted with fun pictures. We just picked them up and they are happy and tired 😁”
“So grateful that Kari was available at the last minute to come pick up my pup. She was good at communicating and she introduced my dog to her first chickens! ? Kari is easy going and she treated my pup just like fam, even letting her sleep in her son's bed at night! Thank you for helping us both during our time of need.”
“Kevin was amazing with our 8 month old bernadoodle. He was great with communication and we knew our dog was in good hands. We appreciated the frequent updates and photographs. We will definitely be using Kevin again in the future!”
“Carrie did an amazing job with our toy poodle, Maggie! Maggie has separation anxiety and takes a while to settle in at a new place. Carrie had a lot of patience with her and sent us lots of pics and updates during Maggie’s stay. I felt comfortable the whole time we were away and Maggie was”
“Christina took such great care of our Husky Frisco! She sent updates and was great about communicating. She knows what she is doing and we will definitely bring him back ?”
“Josie greeted at our car when we arrived and picked up our sweet girl. Pepper took to her immediately and gave her kisses goodbye. Josie sent pictures and an update. We only needed their service for one night. She was knowledgeable about dogs and we felt comfortable with leaving our fur baby with Josie. If you are in the Elkhart, IN area, we highly recommend Josie. She took good care of little one.”
