“Thank you so much to Amanda & Brandon! We really can’t recommend them enough. They took fantastic care of Pluto over Memorial Day Weekend. They sent photos and updates every day, and were more than attentive to any goofiness our dog displayed. He’s an escape artist, and they walked the perimeter with him every day so he could enjoy the outdoors without trying to run away. Their backyard is great & their fence is very secure. Pluto is exhausted & obviously had a great time! We will definitely have Pluto back soon!”
“Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!”
“10/10 recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a trustworthy fur baby sitter. Lucy highly enjoyed her time at her house and we enjoyed the daily updates and pictures. I will be bringing her back whenever we have the need for an overnight stay!”
“I had a great experience with Amy taking care of Tilly while I was out of town! Amy was very communicative and flexible when I had to pick up Tilly later than expected.”
“Heather was outstanding. My fur babies were well taken care of and both her and her daughter played and involved them in their daily routines. This was the first time I had used Rover and if all of the care givers are as well trained and loving as Heather you won’t regret using them. I will use Heather again and recommend her to everyone.”
“Hasber was great with communication and provided updates throughout our entire trip. Our kids loved seeing the pictures/videos he sent us. We will definitely be using Hasber again”
“Emily was amazing with our Goose! Not only was she able to take him on such a short notice, she was excited about having him stay with her. She sent me daily pictures and updates of Goose playing with her pups and having a fantastic time. Emily’s communication was fantastic and helped ease any anxiety I had about not being able to bring Goose with us on a road trip. I cannot say how thankful I am that Emily was able to watch and care for our dog on such a short notice and during the Thanksgiving week. We definitely will be recommending Emily and booking with her for any future needs. Absolutely amazing, I cannot say it enough.”
“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”
“Emily took amazing care of Baxter and was very professional and kind in her interactions with us. We give her our absolute highest recommendation and will definitely use her again.”
“Venessa is very nice and she took care of my two dogs very well. My big dog is energetic and active but Venessa is very patient. She also took a bath for my little dog for being no charge. I rebooked one stay two mins ago and i would definitely look for Venessa for boarding next time!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Rachel! I was so anxious about leaving my pug Geo with a sitter. Rachel and her family and fur baby took such good care of Geo. I highly highly recommend Rachel she cares for your pet as if it’s her own and Geo had a blast!”
“Kelsey was awesome! Even before dropping my pup off I felt an ease knowing she would be with in her care. She sent me videos and photos everyday updating me on how my puppy was doing. My dog is a special needs pup too and she took great care of her! I’ll definitely be bringing her back next time I’m going out of town.”
“Christina was an AMAZING sitter for my dog. She gave my dog lots of affection and attention. She corresponded daily with updates and photos. I definitely recommend booking with Christina! Your pet will be in VERY, VERY good hands!”
“Our dog was so happy staying with this lovely family! They treated him like their own, sent pictures often and were incredibly communicative. We’d definitely entrust our dog with them again!”
“Rosemarie and her husband were absolutely fabulous with Dolly. They kept us up to date on her pregress with several pics, and had our shy little girl comfortable and playing almost immediately after dropping her off. This is our sitter as long as they keep doing this. Chuck C.”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! She provided a safe, comfortable place for my Luke to spend a whole week while I was on vacation. He is especially shy around new people, so it can be hard to find sitters/walkers he's comfortable with, but I could tell from the moment we arrived to drop him off that he liked Rebecca! She was very accommodating to his needs and mine. Will absolutely book with Rebecca again!”
“Beth was great! She did a wonderful job taking care of Annie! Annie loved the backyard playtime she doesn’t normally get at our house and came home exhausted! Beth did a great job keeping us up to date on how Annie was doing and sending us pictures. She took great care of our puppy. Highly recommended.”
“Alisha was amazing with Chase. She sent lots of pics and great updates. He looked at ease in all the pictures! I'm not entirely sure he wanted to leave - LOL!!! I definitely recommend her, and I WILL book with her again!”
