“Rachel is the best!!!!!! Rachel is very special in that she truly enjoys taking care of pets. I will recommend her to every one that has a furry pet. I could go on an on!!!!”


“Definitely will be using them again they are nice and my Waylon had a blast and. Love getting all the pictures and videos of him playing with their mojo”


“We LOVE Jennifer!! She personally text and sent pics everyday along with keeping us posted in the River app. She kept us updated on every aspect of their day. Both Jennifer and her entire family made us so comfortable leaving our fur babies for a week. Will use her again!”


“Sorelwing was a great sitter! She sent updates with pictures on our fur baby’s progress. We actually ended up having some transportation issues that threw us behind time picking up but she was so understanding and allowed us to come as soon as we could. We thank her very much for taking such good care of our baby!”



“Finn loves Barrie so much! When we pull up to her house, he starts getting so excited and vocal. By the time we get out of the car, he is galloping up to her front door to see her. I know he has the best time every time to he visits!”


“Brittney was the answer to all our problems! Our puppy, Rosie, needed last-minute surgery to remove a tumor on her leg right before we left on a trip we couldn't cancel. Since we couldn't board her in a place that couldn't keep careful watch over her at all times, we turned to Rover and found Brittney. Brittney made sure Rosie did not bother her surgery bandage and kept her around dogs with calmer temperaments (Rosie LOVES other dogs and needed to be around dogs that wouldn't get her too riled up and potentially bother her surgery wound). She also took care to ensure Rosie was in her post-surgery cone so she couldn't get to her wound overnight or when they needed to leave the house. She was a pro at giving Rosie her antibiotics and also went above and beyond by taking her to the vet when her bandage slipped off so she could get patched up with a new one. We couldn't have asked for better care for our Rosie while we were away. It wasn't a situation we wanted to be in, but Brittney made it all manageable and we were able to enjoy our trip with no worries over Rosie being taken care of. I should also mention that Rosie is a rescue and is scared of most people she meets. But she seemed to take to Brittney and her husband very quickly after we left, and if that's not a true endorsement, I don't know what is!”


“We were just driving through town and needed somewhere for our pup to stay, Carolyn did a phenomenal job working with our crazy schedule. I could tell our dog was well taken care of and felt really comfortable!”


“Doug has cared for our little doggie, Freddy, a couple of times now. Freddy has diet restrictions that make for extra work, so we are very happy with Doug's attention and care. Great dog sitter! :)”


“Ray is fantastic. I would classify Ray as more of a dog whisperer than dog sitter. We boarded our very lively 8 month old puppy, Boone, with Ray for 5 nights. Boone had gotten crate resistant in the past few weeks. He would cry and bark throughout the night and make sleeping a chore for us all. Ray was able to break this bad habit and give us our sleep back. He also completely got Boone off of wet food. Ray sent us pictures, videos, and updates multiple times a day. Ray really does a great job and has a gift with dogs. I would highly recommend his services and will be using him again in the future.”

“Tatiana was WONDERFUL! She walked Harley a ton which I know Harley enjoyed, especially after a long car ride the day before. I could tell immediately that Harley was comfortable with Tatiana and her family and that’s saying a lot because Harley can be very timid and shy around new people. Thank you for sending plenty of picture updates too, I’ll definitely be booking again when I’m in the area!!!”


“Leah was absolutely amazing with our blue tick hound Gypsy. She kept us updated and sent pictures while she kept her. I would recommend her to anyone!! I will also be using her when needed in the future! Thank you so much Leah for loving our girl!”

Wasn’t ideal but Harold gave me the peace of mind (and CONSTANT updates) that helped me and my dog transition a semi-cross county move. 10/10 recommend.”


“Bonnie M. was very patient & kind with my furries. I appreciate her agreeing to care for them. Despite my big, rambunctious puppy, she had no negative commentary and they all seem to have been treated well.”


“Krystal is an absolute dream to work with! She provided consistent updates and pics. This was really helpful since my puppy is anxious and I tend to worry about her.
