“We LOVE Natalie!! We were nervous about leaving our puppy with a stranger at 5 months but we had to go out of town. So happy we found Natalie - she made us feel so comfortable and took amazing care of our pup. He loves her and now we feel freed up to travel! highly recommend!”
“This is my first experience with Rover, I was very nervous leaving my boy with anyone new. Breanna kept in constant contact and provided pictures. I can tell just by them that Maverick had the best sleep over with her! He even met a new lady friend! I cannot recommend her enough and will absolutely be requesting her services again!”
“Mariah, Kyle and family took good care of our 10 yr. old Portuguese Water Dog during our week long family vacation. They treated him like he was part of the family and he enjoyed being around their dog and another one they were also boarding. Having a fenced in yard was perfect for playing and getting exercise. They were easy to communicate with and wonderful about giving regular updates and sending photos.”
“Natalie’s home is full of love and prosperity. She and her family welcomed my dog as one of their own. She has my full recommendation and I hope to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Lucy has found her 2nd home. I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelsea and her family. I had a family emergency across the country, and I was so nervous to leave my furry baby with someone new. Chelsea has far exceeded any expectation I dared hoped to have at such short notice. I highly recommend her!!”
“Matthew took great care of Lucy during the holidays! She came back home happy and with a new toy!! Thank you very much for caring so much about Lucy and taking great care of her, Matt. We really appreciate it!”
“Molly was super sweet and took amazing care of our pups!! She sent us updates everyday and lots of pictures to keep me at ease and to ensure my girls were doing okay. I would definitely recommend Molly!!”
“Our two dogs are always happy at Rose’s home! We enjoy pictures and updates while we’re traveling. We have a senior dog and it is a comfort to know she is comfortable and happy while we’re away.”
“Kym and Robert have taken care of our dog, Rosie, multiple times over the last couple of years. They are reliable, caring, and keep us updated with photos and messages while we are away. Rosie is always happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we return home. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Rosie is in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Kym and Robert to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“My Maggie just stayed with Rebecca for a week, and had a great time. Rebecca takes such good care of her, and this time there were two other dogs for her to play with. Rebecca sent pictures and texts, and I could relax and enjoy a vacation that Maggie couldn’t come on. The only downside is I think she’s a little bored now that she’s home and away from the fun!”
“Anne is an amazing caregiver! My dog, PeeDee, loved his stay while I was on vacation. She made him feel right at home and welcome. Anne is very communicative and friendly, and has been a joy to talk to while I've been away. I highly recommend Anne to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter. I can't say enough good things! Thank you, Anne! 😊”
“Christina was absolutely fabulous. We usually take long trips once a year, which is difficult to plan without having someone trustworthy to leave our Lucky. He is a friendly and easy-going dog, but has experienced anxiety before, which usually affects his digestive system. But the care he received from Christina and the fun he had with other dog pals for almost three weeks was more than perfect. We are so grateful, and he'll definitely be back.”
“Sridevi took wonderful care of my dog, Sasha. I had to book with her at the last minute because of a funeral and she could not have been more accommodating. Sasha was so content at her house in such a short period of time, I was very impressed. Sasha does not usually warm up to people so quickly, so I knew she was in good hands. 🐾”
“Heidi was fantastic. She accommodated a last minute stay and kept me updated with photos that showed how much fun the dogs were having. While away, I was at peace since I knew the dogs were being cared for by Heidi. I totally recommend her and would certainly leave Rio and Pete with her again! Thank you Heidi!”
“I can't recommend Elisabeth highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Ollie, and it was clear from the start how much love and attention she gave him. Every day, she sent multiple high-quality photos and detailed updates that showed just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She went above and beyond by dressing the dogs in warm outfits and taking them on engaging walks, keeping Ollie active and entertained. Not only did she keep him well-exercised, but she also worked on teaching him commands! It is obvious how much she cares about providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for watching Ollie!”
“Stacy was awesome! We felt very comfortable leaving our Harry with her. She stayed connected with us through multiple pictures and comments throughout each day of his stay. Her photos reassured us that Harry was happy and safe. Stacy cared for him as if he were her own. We would definitely use Stacy’s services again and would highly recommend her. Thank you Stacy!”
“Craig was so great with our hyper, anxious dog! He sent regular updates and photos and was very flexible when our travel plans changed at the last minute. His own dog is so calm, and was so sweet with ours as well. I highly recommend Craig—your dog will be in very good hands with him!”

Natalie is fantastic! She kept us well informed on our pups throughout their stay, and they were extremely well cared for. My dogs are older (10 and 12.5), and when my boy became despondent with separation anxiety (during his first 24 hours) she let us know immediately and we formulated a plan to help him cope. Upon pick up, I could tell they felt completely at ease in her home and with her!
