1. Tammy D.

“Really happy to find Tammy. Our dog, Hank, loved his stay with her and her dogs. She has a big fenced in backyard and a comfortable house with a lot of toys for the dogs. We will use her again. She is a 30 minute drive from CHQ and well worth it given the care that she provides.”


2. Hunter E.

“Hunter was so great with Wilson and sent lots of updates! I would highly recommend him for any of your furry friends!”


3. Logan S.

“Logan was great with my female German Shepherd. He gave her a lot of attention and exercise and kept in touch with pictures and how everything was going. I’ll be using him again.”


4. Michele S.
“Michele is a wonderful, caring person as well as a great sitter/walker. She is well-versed in animal needs, and behaviors. Her background as a dog groomer is extremely helpful in how much she has been around animals. She sees each dog as an individual assessing their personality and needs. I trust her implicitly as a person and my dog adores her.”


5. Charlene C.

“Absolutely amazing experience! Charlene and her husband took amazing care of my baby and really made sure he felt at home with them! I loved the daily updates and photos! Would definitely recommend! And will definitely have them watch my baby again!”


6. Jeff D.

“Jeff took very good care of our dog during her overnight stay. She had stomach problems and Jeff made sure to watch for symptoms. He suggested we take her to the vet and it was good advice. Thank you very much!”


7. Sandy B.

“Our little Bonnie had a wonderful stay with Sandy. Unlike many others we felt 100% happy and confident that our little ball of fluff was well cared for. Bonnie came back very happy and relaxed which is a great sign. Sandy had lots of space to give Bonnie the exercise she needs, being quite an active dog this was great to see. We have certainly found our sitter for bonnie and will be using Sandy again without hesitation.”




8. Debbie P.

“Debbie was awesome. She allowed our dog time to get comfortable with her without pushing (he takes awhile to get used to people) and she treated him like her own. She kept us updated with pictures to let us know how he was doing. It really put our minds at ease!”


9. Rachel T.

“Our little guy, Chase, stayed with Rachel for a week. Chase was so well taken care of & when we went to get him, I think he thought he’d been adopted by Rachel! He loved it at her house! We will definitely be using Rachel again to dog sit Chase. She is a dog lover & we have every confidence in using her to care for Chase again. Thank you Rachel.”


10. Alina B.

“This was my first time ever using Rover, and Alina was the very best! She sent me multiple pictures and videos of my boy Monty daily! She took very good care of him while I was away. I highly recommend her!”


11. Rory D.

“I can't say enough about Rory D. Her home was clean, neat, and very organized. She had a separate "bedroom" where Gigi would spend the night and relax when other pets were in the house. During her stay Rory gave Gigi the opportunity to meet and forge a friendship with another cat. I was so pleased! Rory followed all care requests. Rory sent pictures and videos of Gigi throughout her stay. Gigi appeared very content and happy. Gigi was well cared for and healthy when I picked her up at the end of her stay. Without any reservation I recommend Rory for pet sitting. She did an excellent job. I will definitely rebook with Rory D. the next time I need pet sitting services.”


12. Melissa T.

“Melissa is a true saint! My family was on a 2.5 week road trip with our 11 month old Akita puppy, Frida, when we decided to make a stop a the Great Blue Heron festival in Sherman, NY. Being on the road and leaving our puppy with a stranger seemed intimidating, especially considering her shy nature, but Melissa was great! Frida was very reserved with Melissa at first, but eventually warmed up. Melissa sent pictures and videos that showed she was having a great time. She went above and beyond to make sure Frida had access to activities that she enjoyed and even set up play dates with other young dogs. I am so so grateful we found Melissa and we were able to leave our pup with someone who put so much love and care into her time with Frida.”




13. Nancy D.

“Nancy sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my dogs were doing! They seemed like they had a good time and were treated like family.”


14. Emma L.

“Emma did a great job watching Emmy, and helping her feel quite comfortable when there for her visit. I was able to bring Emmy for a pre-stay trial, to meet the other friends there. It all went very well, and we highly recommend Emma L. to anyone who may need doggy care. This was our first time using Rover, and it was very good. Positive vibes all around.”


15. Karen K.

“Karen was an amazing sitter. All of the pics and updates gave us peace of mind and I know Shosho received fabulous care and loving attention.”


16. Felipe V.

“Thank you so much Felipe! We honestly had such a great experience. Updates were frequent, and he responded promptly to any texts I sent. He was super kind as well and caring for our little Kona. LOVE that he has a fenced in backyard. Overall, fantastic experience. Will be going to Felipe any time we need someone to watch our dog :) Thank you and your wife so much for everything!”


17. Allisandria D.
“Alli is incredible with dogs and animals alike! She’s affectionate, attentive and gentle with all dogs. I’ve been working with her for almost 2 years at our local doggy daycare and her care and provision for all of our furry friends is amazing. I would definitely recommend her for any care your animals and pups might need:)”


18. Aaron M.

“Peaches had a great time with Aaron. He clearly loves dogs and took great care of her. I was worried because my dog is almost 16 years old and can't see or hear well but I could tell that she really enjoyed her time there. I would definitely 100% recommend Aaron!”


19. Barb K.
“If you are an animal lover who talks about their pet like they are a human then Barb is your go to for pet care. She knows her animals personalities and adjusts to what they need. Barb loves the outdoors and being sporty.”


20. Jackie C.

“Jackie took EXCELLENT care of my little Shih-tzu. He loved running and playing with her dog in her huge fenced yard. She sent pictures and videos and he hung out on her lap often. Communication was great!! I Highly recommend her for the care of your dog. :)))”
