“Daisy loved being with Michele! Daisy loves being the center of attention. She got to walk and play and share her love. Michele is a great communicator and we were happy to get little notes assuring us that Daisy cared for with care and joy! Thank you Michele! Amy & Dan”
2. Sandee W.
“I have been using Rover.com for 3 years and Sandee has exceeded our expectations as a care giver. I love that she only took one dog at a time. We felt our dog was well cared for and loved as we would. She was very accommodating when we needed to change our day. She will be the first we ask for, the next time we need a sitter.”

6. Amy A.
“Amy is an angle. She was so down to earth and I felt at ease leaning my boy with her. She kept me updated throughout the entire day with pictures and videos. She took my baby on an adventure with lots of trips and care rides which he loves. I told her what he likes and didn’t and she made sure to do all the things he loves. In every picture and video she sent I saw how happy my baby boy was. Definitely booking with her again! Thank you so much he had so much fun and you showed him so much love. 😊😊”

8. Mary Sue C.
“From our "meet & greet", I could tell Mary Sue was going to be great with Rosie. Her 2 dogs were also great, they helped train our Rosie. I received several photos from Mary Sue. I could see that Rosie felt at home immediately. Mary Sue's home was great for watching Rosie. Thanks again for a great experience. It's great to know I have someone that can be called on and know Rosie will be in great hands.”
9. Juanita & Quintus J.
“HIGHLY recommend Juanita! She was amazing. Jax was so happy when I picked him up :) She was so sweet and kept us up to date with his stay by sending videos and pictures. 10/10 recommend booking her for your fur baby’s stay.”
10. Marvina S.
“Marvina was absolutely amazing and so accommodating! This was the longest I had left my rescue pup. (1 week) I was nervous for sure, however! That quickly went away as soon as I met her and saw the beautiful “summer camp for dogs ” that is her home! Her property is huge for the pups to run around and play. I had some last minute changes including being later on pick up time due to traffic. I got up to date pictures and reassurance that he was having a great time. I highly recommend treating your pup to this sanctuary! I will absolutely be using her services again and possibly work out a joint custody arrangement! 😂 My pup seems depressed now that he’s back home. Thank you again!!!”
11. Jer O.
“Diamond had a great stay here. Lots of great photo updates playing with new friends she made. Very accommodating when we had to extend our trip. Pick up and drop at our house was such a blessing, especially after a long day of travel! We will definitely use Jer again.”
12. Margaret T.
“Margaret did a great job keeping our 2 dogs. She was very flexible with our travel plans and impending bad weather. You can tell she loves the dogs.”
13. Jalyssa M.
“Jalyssa took great care Emma while we were out of town for the weekend. Quick response with booking & excellent communication before & during our trip away. Emma didn’t want to leave when I picked her up. I highly recommend Jalyssa & will definitely use her services again in the future.”
14. Kelly G.
“Kelly is awesome! We went to Ocean City to spend some time at the beach and Kelly is just off the main route coming from Northern Virginia. She took great care of our dog for three nights and sent us pictures at the end of each day, totally unexpected. Besides being great with animals she is just a great person. If you are in here area I would recommend giving her your business!!”

18. Jen G.
“5-stars for Jen G! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I think we’re all nervous leaving our fur babies with a new sitter. No worries with Jen. She treats them like her own and they get spoiled with love and attention. Her assistants Baxter and Rigby were a joy for our Tanner to play with. He can’t wait to return! Jen’s communication along with many hilarious photos from their playtime were excellent and reassuring. Thank you, Jen!”
19. Liliana G.
“Liliana was great with Boh. She kept us updated on how he was doing and it looks like they kept busy. He looked great when she dropped him off and I could see he definitely liked her. We will check with Liliana first the next time we need someone to take care of Boh.”
20. Sabrina B.
“Sabrina has been caring for my small dogs (Shitzus, chihuahuas and 1 jack Russel) anytime I go out of town for the past 7 years.. He stays at my house and he lets them outside numerous times a day to go potty. He makes sure they have food and water at all times.. he plays with them and cuddles with them.. He also cleans out the litter box and makes sure the cats have food and water and cuddles with them..”
