“Ami and her son were very patient with our semi-neurotic dog, and with our scheduling! She knows and understands dog behavior - we felt like Gabriel was in good hands.”


“Vanessa is absolutely incredible! Not only did she love my pups like they were her own, but she also used her extensive education about dog training to improve many of my dogs’ behaviors. She is incredibly responsive and sent multiple pictures and updates daily. We will definitely be leaving our pups with Vanessa again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”


“I was very nervous about leaving my dog with a new dog sitter. Rebecca is a perfect fit for my Gracie and I. She went above and beyond what I was expecting, and it is obvious Gracie loved her and had a wonderful experience. Rebecca sent plenty of texts, photos and videos, and clearly Gracie was enjoying her stay. I will definitely be a regular customer of Rebecca’s. It means so much when you can get away for a few days and not worry about your pet being sad or not properly cared for. I am so happy to have found her.”


“Todd and Bill were AMAZING! They took such great care of our dog and sent daily updates with photos and videos. This was the longest we had ever left our dog for a stay, but Todd and Bill made sure to ease our minds while we were away. It seems like our dog had a great time because he passed out on the couch almost as soon as we got home! They even washed a blanket we left for our dog to relax on, so it was fresh and clean when we got home. Their attention to detail was highly appreciated and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you again Todd and Bill, we really appreciated your care in taking care of our precious cargo :)”


“Holly is great! She sent loads of photos and updates on Winnie throughout her stay and Winnie had the best time! Will absolutely be sending Winnie back the next time we travel!”


“Jinni took a very good care of Tigra. She is very responsive, and it was easy to onboard, communicate and followed feeding instructions. Looked like my cat loved being with Jinni a lot!”



“Whitney was great. She was very attentive and worked with me to schedule drop off and pick up. During my dog's stay she was communicative and I could tell he was happy. I've rebooked with her twice.”


“Gigi had a wonderful stay with Taruna! She was super communicative, sending plenty of updates and adorable photos throughout the visit. Taruna was also incredibly accommodating, which made me feel confident that Gigi was in great hands. Gigi seemed happy and relaxed the entire time. When she got home, she was totally wiped and went straight to bed—which only happens after she's had a fun and exciting day! We’re definitely looking forward to booking with Taruna again.”


“Layla was amazing! She was so accommodating when we changed up our drop off and pick up times. She sent us endless photos that showed our dog was super happy and well taking cared of. She was super friendly and truly a wonderful dog sitter! We will definitely use her again.”


“I have had my dog Percy for about a year in a half, he has had to wear diapers however ( male wraps) which has made it hard for me to find a sitter , So i went on Rover and found Anar, after our meet and greet she agreed to have Percy stay with her for two nights with no Problem at all. She attended percys special request with diapers as well as kept me comforted with pictures throughout the stay, he was walked, attended too and got a long with her Dogs. Anar was great and i will be requesting her again for Percy.”
