“This was our first time using Rover, and Katie made us feel like we were dropping off our pup to familiar friends! Very responsive, receptive to your pet to make them feel at home, and treats all like they are her own. Katie sent us pictures throughout the stay, and was so accommodating when our travel plans went awry. She is absolutely wonderful, and we will be returning to her services for future trips! 10/10 recommend using Katie’s services!”
“Laronna and her Mom were great sitters! Mocha is a senior dog and wears diaper but they were able to accommodate her. Mocha was comfortable and happy. We love the pictures and videos update. We highly recommended her and will definitely use her service again. Thanks again Laronna!”

“Ebony was amazing. She watched my baby boy for 3 nights and 4 days. Our initial meet and greet went very well. She asked great questions and I felt really comfortable with my boy staying with her. Once he arrived for his weekend. Ebony kept me updated with tons of pictures and texts. I really appreciated the open communication. I would definitely recommend using her for your pet sitting needs. ?”
“Francie was fantastic! With all of the dogs that she was sitting for she found the time to snap photos of my 2 girls, and keep me updated while i was apart from them! They came home tired, which means that they played exceedingly! I will definitely be bringing them back!”

“Katie and her family took wonderful care of our Samoyed, Teddy, while we were away for five days. He can be a handful at times, but Katie kept us updated with daily photos and messages that reassured us he was happy and well cared for. We highly recommend her and would gladly book with her again!”
“Fantastic host! Good communication, pupdates throughout the day, photos, and great care with my dog. He generally isn't too good with other dogs but did so well with Kane (host's dog) so other owners should feel at ease when staying with Elizabeth”
