“Tiffany, thank you so much for the wonderful care you gave Windsir as always!! It truly means a lot to know he is in such kind and attentive hands. Your patience, compassion, and genuine love for animals really shows, and it makes all the difference. Windsor was happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after. I’m so grateful. Thank you again for treating him like one of your own! 🐾”
“Had to book someone to watch my dog last minute. He seemed to have so much fun at Jason's and I'm definitely going to rebook in the future when I need to go out of town again. Definitely recommend him to everyone.”
“My little beastie, Stuart Little seemed happy and content when I picked him up. Ming sent me photos of him each day to alleviate my anxiety…(first time away from my Yorkie). They were excellent to work with and very accommodating. I will be scheduling with them again in a week or two. So RELIEVED to find a responsible couple to take care of my fur child. Thanks M & M!!!”
“Very responsive and accommodating! Appreciated that she took the time to do a meet & greet beforehand so that I could make sure my dog would feel comfortable with her dogs. Sent lots of pictures and my little guy looked like he was being very well taken care of with lots of love, cuddles, and walks!”
“Anne is great! My dog is not the easiest to accommodate- very high strung and nervous. Anne gradually introduced my dog to the other dogs and sent me daily updates on how she was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Trish is amazing! She was in constant communication while we were gone about what Mattie was up to with daily pictures and videos. I never had to worry that Mattie wasn’t being well taken care of and cared for. You can tell Trish loves every dog that comes into her home and she takes care of your dog as if it’s her own! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be booking Mattie again!”
“Paul was awesome! My doggies had a great time and I know they were well cared for. Winnie was so tired at pick up, so I know she played a lot with his little dog which gave Ellie some time to relax. Appreciated the update during the stay to make sure all was well! Thank you Paul! Especially with a short notice weekend stay for two doggies. Thank you!”
“Ashley was great. Good communication, and she sent us some videos of our dog enjoying her backyard and the other dogs there during the stay. We've used her twice now and will do so again in the future!”
“Amanda’s communication was excellent and we discussed my dog’s feeding schedule and needs and she made sure to accommodate. I also received several cute photos during his stay. I could tell he was happy when I went to pick him up. Definitely recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rovr and Ali couldn’t have been better to work with. She was very flexible and took great care of our dog. She sent plenty of photos so we knew he was doing okay. I would highly recommend her and know that if we use Rovr again, we will gladly use Ali’s service again.”
“I left Kota with her for the day while at work and she kept me updated and made sure to give him attention. I got picture and video updates while at work and had an easy drop-off and pick-up. Would definitely recommend her and go back to her in the future!”
“Absolutely fantastic people and dog sitters. This was our first experience leaving our babies in the hands of non family. It was worth every penny. The peace of mind and fantastic care they provided is unmatched. We will 1,000% be using DL and Libby for all vacations and long weekends that they are available. Thank you guys!”
“We loved Debra. & oh my, so did our Buddy Bear. She spoiled him rotten. We will definitely be using Debra again. We highly recommend her. She has a sweet, loving & cozy home. Your pups will love her back yard. ❤️❤️❤️🐶”
“Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.”
“Stacy did an AWESOME job with my 1 year old (LARGE) dog, Jemma. She worked with her on commands that we'd been working on and gave her lots of love! She sent pictures every day and was very easy to work with. She is great with animals and was able to watch Jemma for a week while I was travelling - what a life saver she is!!!!”
