“This is the first dog I’ve ever owned and I was very nervous giving her to anyone to watch. Angie is the best. She made me feel at ease through the process and gave my dog Ripley a great week away. She sent me lots of pictures and was quick in her responses giving me updates on how Ripley was doing. I will definitely use Angie again.”

“I am so grateful and appreciative of Sandra‘s loving care of Lulu while I was gone for 13 days. Lulu has a seizure disorder and Sandra was amazing with giving her medication and keeping me updated every day with her status and sending pictures of how well loved and cared for she was. Sandra and her husband John invited Lulu into their home and treated her as though she was theirs!”

“If Arthur could write this review himself he would. He has had a few sleepovers with Amy and Mayzie. Every time he arrives he sprints to her door with tail wagging and pure joy. When he gets back home it’s KO. Snoring like he ran a marathon and had the time of his life doing it. I would trust Amy again, and again. 🐾”

“First time using Rover and had a great experience with Keith & Ashley. Had last minute travel plans come up and they were very accommodating and kept me updated and in the loop all weekend. My dog is anxious and has some separation anxiety and they made him feel right at home.”

“Cannot thank them enough. It was my first time using Rover and on a short notice request- no problem. I got pictures of Alfie playing and cuddling throughout his stay which set me at ease. He also came back smelling nicer and was freshly brushed, he was so happy! I 100% recommend Heather and Norman”

“Summer was amazing with our dog, Abby. She provided pictures and updates regularly. Abby seemed really comfortable when we took her to meet Summer. We appreciate all of the snuggle time Abby got and will not hesitate to leave her in Summer’s care again! Thank you for everything, Summer.”


“Karen truly went above and beyond in caring for Louie while I was away. Her thoughtful gestures, like sending frequent pictures, not only showed her dedication but also provided me with peace of mind. It’s heartwarming to know that she treated Louie with such love and attention, making sure he felt safe and happy in my absence. Her kindness speaks volumes about her character and how much she genuinely cares for both human and furry!”

“Aisha was great with my two dogs, who liked her on sight! She communicated and sent photos and I could tell, when I picked them up, that they'd been safe and happy.”

“Saktah did a great job taking care of my elderly and rather unfriendly kitty, Koshka, for two weeks while I was vacationing. She was very professional, organized, and caring, kept me updated on how my kitty was adjusting, and showed genuine affection and concern for her. She's driven to get things right and wants your pet to be as comfortable as they can be while you're gone. So if you (like me) have a pet that needs extra love and care, and you'd like to relax during your vacation knowing they're in good hands, go with Saktah. She's got you covered.”
“Allison is a wonderful caretaker and the sweetest human to boot! My little spoiled poodle felt so at home and happy at his extended stay with her that I don't think he even missed his mum and we couldn't be more grateful for her expert and caring help!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our pooch. I am sure he enjoyed the company (canine and human), the outside time, and such comfortable inside accommodations. I am sure he will want to come for another visit soon!”

“Shekeyla was an amazing caretaker for our two dogs! She was very accommodating to our last minute changes to the plan, and very understanding of our dog’s needs and personalities! We felt very reassured and fortunate to have found Shekeyla just in time for a planned trip, and so appreciated the updates and pictures we got along the way. Absolutely would recommend Shekeyla to anyone! Thank you again!! 💜”

“This was an amazing experience! It was my first time using this app and it will definitely not be the last! My dog loved her and her family and I cannot thank her enough?We will be boarding with her again soon!”

“We love using Kristin as our primary pet sitter for our puppy, Dream! Their house is set back in the woods and feels very safe for the animals. We love getting photos and updates of our puppy throughout her stay. Kristin is very thoughtful when it comes to having the dogs play in engaging activities, but also allows them down time and rest. Plus, we always look forward to seeing Kristin and her husband because their awesome personalities just shine!”

“Very trustworthy and keeps me updated with pictures of how Aurora is doing! Gives me a peace of mind while I am away on trips. I will continue to book with her for future trips.”

“Caitlin was an amazing sitter for our dog Steve! During our pup’s 10-day stay, Caitlin provided picture and video updates to help us know he was safe and happy. When we picked him up, Steve was so relaxed and happy (way more so than when we used to keep him at the kennel). It was clear that Caitlin truly cared about making sure Steve's stay was comfortable and close to his normal routine. Her young kids were so gentle and kind with the dog, and we never had any concerns. I definitely recommend Caitlin!”

“Morgan was super helpful when I needed a sitter on my road trip! She was so good with Molly and helped out extra since Molly wasn’t feeling the best on my trip and eating irregularly”


“Steve and Deb were wonderful and took great care of our dogs! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were in good hands. We will definitely book with them again in the future.”

Bella had a great time at Novelette's home with her two dogs. She is very caring and keep me updated on how Bella was doing. Bella arrived injured (she spained her leg just before I was scheduled to leave on vacation) and Novelette took great care of her and made sure she received her medications on time. She also checked on Bella after she returned home which I greatly appreciate. Bella and I look forward to her sprending more time with Novelette and her pups.
Fantastic, Amy is great with dogs. If YKYK, my dog was super comfortable with her when he typically is a nervous dog. Her dog Mayzie is the perfect interpreter and friend!!! I highly recommend Amy for services and dog boarding needs. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Amy! 🐕

Mr Bear had a great time with Keith and Ashley! They were communicative throughout the entire process and treated our pup like one of their own. Bear has been snoring HARD since getting home, which means he had fun! Will totally use them again in our future. Thank you !!!

Anna and her husband took great care of our dog, Oakley, for a weekend! I was very nervous leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know, but from the beginning Anna was warm and friendly and helped us feel at ease. She was accommodating of Oakley’s reactivity and sent us updates throughout the weekend. If we ever need to find someone to watch Oakley again, we will definitely consider Anna in the future!

Our dog has never stayed with anyone besides family when we had Adam watch him for an overnight. Apollo was happy and excited to see him, and wasn’t anxious like we expected him to be. We got updates and pictures which were appreciated. Apollo takes a number of medications and Adam handled that easily. We were thankful for Adam watching Apollo and taking care of his needs while we were away.
