I always worry about leaving our beagle with sitters because she is super shy and anxious, but Madison was great with her! She exceeded our expectations! Would highly recommend.

Cindy went out of her way to make sure my dog felt comfortable with her before we had her stay at the house. She was very responsive to communication and sent pictures which I appreciated greatly.

Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.

Farrin is an amazing petsitter! She stayed all day with our lab (who gets very anxious when we are away) and two kitties. We were able to enjoy our son's wedding without worrying how our pets were doing. This is our second time booking with Farrin; both times she has communicated well with us before the event as well as sending us updates (texts & pictures) during the actual house/petsitting.

Tori took great care of our home and dogs. We were able to go away camping for a weekend while our house and dogs were in her safe hands. They played outside and got a ton of energy out. We will be having her watch them again in the future.

This was our first experience with Rover and we feel so fortunate to have found Lauren. She is responsive, punctual, and just totally on the ball in every way. She is very kind and our pup took to her right away. We had such peace of mind having her at home to watch over things. We will be using Lauren often with much appreciation of her caring and considerate efforts.

Chelsea D. Was super easy to talk to. She offered a meet and greet. That was perfect, she spent time to get to know the doggies and their needs. She arrived early on the day she set for our fur babies, that relieved us from stress. She’s a natural with pets with separation anxiety! When we arrived back home our one lil man that has separation anxiety showed no signs of stress, that was so comforting to us. The other two were very happy also. Looks like all 3 have a new friend. We will most definitely use Chelsea D. again! Thank you for sitting our babies!

I have not been away from my dogs in 8 years and was nervous about leaving them. I will never feel that way again. Tori was fabulous and both my dogs seemed very comfortable with her. She sent me pictures that let me know they were being well cared for.
