We're entriely comfortable leaving our dog with Jenevieve. She has great communication, and gives us regular updates while our dog is staying with her. Her pup Roman is a great host as well and makes our dog feel right home. They've become the best of pals!

Alice has watched our dog several times now. We trust her to take loving care of him, no matter his needs. She goes above and beyond! Great communication and pictures, helps us feel connected to our pup when we’re away. Grateful for her consistent care when we’re away.

Serius absolutely loved his first time going to a doggy babysitter. He was a stressed out neurotic mess for 2 weeks before we found Cassandra. He came home so much calmer, and happy. This will become a regular part of his routine now, so he can get out of the house, and socialize a little more.

Sadie enjoyed her stay with Lisa so much, I'm not sure she wanted to come home! She even had her own Thanksgiving dinner. We appreciated the pictures and updates during her stay. Thanks!

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

We had plans to take Rocky to Boarding but couldn’t book it. So we were referred to the Rover App and found Pricilla, and she was just fantastic, we immediately felt comfortable with her pets and Rocky had a girlfriend all weekend. I could go on and on, but we will definitely be using her services in the future.

Kayla was awesome! I was very nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn't know but she provided so many photo updates and my pets genuinely enjoyed spending time with Kayla. My other sitter had a family emergency last minute so I had to find a new sitter on very short notice and kayla was very willing to help me out. I will definitely be using kayla next time we travel. I cannot say enough great things.

I was very nervous to leave my dog with a pet sitter, but we had a wonderful experience with Scott. Not only did he send frequent updates with pics, but when I reached out with questions, he always responded within a few minutes. He is very knowledgeable about pets and I highly recommend him!

Another great visit with Christy and Ekram. I’ve never left my baby with someone else this long but they sent pictures and updates every day and made a huge effort to make sure she started eating again.

We love taking our dog to Jessica for dog sitting. Our dog loves playing with her dog. She sends me videos of the dogs playing, which eases the anxiety of being away from her.

Liam took excellent care of our energetic mini-labradoodle! They are a dog friendly home and truly welcomed her right in! She got a lot of snuggles, attention, and walks. I was SO grateful having Liam watching her over a weekend while I was out of town. He kept me updated on her activities and sent darling pictures of her, I had such peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Liam and will certainly be booking him again! Thank you, Liam! 🐶

I will never use a commercial kennel again! Kristy took in our Australian Shepherd puppy for the week and I could not have been happier. In fact, I don't think our puppy could have been happier! After picking her up I believe she had withdrawals. She missed being at Kristy's. I highly recommend Kristy as she was easy to work with and provided texts on our puppy's status. She is truly a pet lover and will contact her with future sitting opportunities.

Holly did a great job with my two dogs. She watched my German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd. I chose Holly because she was a great communicator from the start. She's quick to respond and has a fenced in yard for the dogs to play.

I’m extremely pleased with the care provided by Megan when she took care of my 2 dogs for 6 days/5 nights while I was out of state on vacation. I had never left them that long with anyone before, and one of mine (Callie) is very attached to me and has some separation anxiety. But my fears were put to rest by Megan’s kind and reassuring manner when we first met and even more so when she sent me updates and several pictures every day to let me know how my pups were doing. She let me know my 2 pups were getting along well with her 2 little dogs, and the pictures reinforced they were making themselves at home. I really appreciated that she has a large fenced in yard for the dogs since mine are used to that. I will definitely use Megan again and am so relieved to know I can leave my dogs with her and they will be well cared for. She is awesome! I highly recommend her.
