“Randi Nichole was wonderful with Dutchess. Send sent me updates often to let me know how Dutchess was doing. She loves animals so I was not worried about Dutchess at all in her care. I will definitely use her again for my pet sitting needs.”
“Mitzi and her whole family was amazing. She kept our mini goldendoodle and our pup loved it. We received so many pictures and videos. We can’t wait to book with her again. Definitely would consider it a home away from home for our fur baby. Thanks again Mitzi!”
“Brian was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! I could not be anymore thankful for finding someone to cat sit for my Rose. He was extremely loving, caring, and attentive to her while making sure she was comfortable and adjusted. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for future visits to watch Rose and recommend him to anyone!”
“Judy did a wonderful job caring for Beau while we were away on a weekend trip. She kept us informed during the weekend and sent several pictures of Beau throughout his stay. We would highly recommend Judy.”
“Mafe was very easy to work with, responsive, and caring. Our Kitty was very happy with her and her family, and she sent us pictures of him daily. We would happily use her services again.”
“Kelli and her family were so sweet. Katie was so well taken care of and loved cuddling with the family. I didn’t have to worry about anything. They were super accommodating.”
“This was Marley‘s first overnight stay at someone else’s house since we rescued her a few months ago, and we couldn’t have been happier with how her stay went with Kyle! He sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the week and Marley played great with his dog, Ollie. She came home happy and tired and we had peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Kyle and ad will be boarding Marley again with him in the future.”
“First time getting a sitter for our dog and would definitely do it again! Kassie was flexible and shared plenty of pictures while we were out of town. Her sweet dog Benji gets along well with other pups and for sure helped my dog be more comfortable. Our dog enjoyed her stayed and the trips to the dog park!”
“LOOK NO FURTHER THIS IS YOUR FOREVER PET SITTER!!!! Nguyen is an amazing pet sitter and human! Her and her husband are definitely dog lovers and as a former pet sitter myself, I appreciate people who love and care for my dogs as much as I do! They sent me plenty of pictures and videos and were kind enough to go and pick up my dogs from another pet sitter that I did not want them with while I was away out of the country. I also mis-‘measured the food for how many Days I would be gone and without hesitation or me asking she sprung into action getting my dogs food for the last day not wanting a dime! Their yard is HUGE- like my Dogs had their own dog park! My dogs both jumped for joy to see them!! Coming from the other pet sitter my dogs and their beds had a horrible smell and when I picked them up they smelled beautiful and she had bathed my Babies and washed all their things! This was the second time I have used Nguyen, the first boarding she did a last minute visit for my birthday and her warm birthday wishes showed me how sweet she is before even meeting her! I will never use any other pet sitter AGAIN! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A SECOND HOME FOR MY 2 BOYS! BOOK WITH NGUYEN AND HER FAMILY!! 🥰🥰😄😁”
“Paige was fantastic! She sent updates and pics everyday and our dog looked so happy every time. We were able to enjoy our vacation without having to worry at all. We will be rebooking her for all of our future trips!”
“Judy watched Bennie for a long weekend while I was out of town and this being the first time I’ve left him with someone for that long, I was nervous. But Judy was incredibly sweet and so was her puppy. Bennie was well taken care of and I got lots of pictures. She has a very nice fenced in yard and lets the dogs come and go as they please. I will definitely be using Judy again!”
“Milika was great with Domino! She sent me updates and was always quick to respond to messages. Domino seemed very comfortable with Milika and her son during her stay. :)”
“This was our dog's 2nd stay with Aidyl and by far the best Rover we have ever booked! She is quick to respond any time I message her, she sends pics where I can tell my dog is perfetly relaxed, walks her, and follows all of her instructions to a t. I truly feel like my dog is getting a vacation when she can't be on vacation with us. We are so thankful we found her and will definitley be returning! It's hard to find a Rover who doesn't have a dog of their own, and it is 1 less stress knowing your dog will be the center of attention.”
“Edith is fantastic. If you want your dog to have lots of playtime with other dogs and come home exhausted, this is the place! Boone had a great time and we will be using heat us again.”
