“Thank you so much for the last minute reservation ! Best sitter we have encountered on the app. Send daily updates with photos. Happy my baby was actively engaged and cared for under their care”

“Lucky is a very sweet pet sitter. Luther seemed to enjoy being with her for the weekend. She has a nice fenced yard which is a big plus in my book. We will definitely call on her again .”

“Christine kept me very well-informed from booking, to drop-off and at pick-up. She sent plentiful pictures and videos, as this was my first time leaving Diamond with a sitter since we adopted her in February. Diamond looked like she thoroughly enjoyed her fur friends as well as Christine. We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Brandy was so amazing with my Girly Pop! She accommodated me last minute when I had an emergency and needed to find a sitter ASAP and that is always appreciated. She was responsive, answered any/all questions I had and sent plenty of updates throughout the day. I didn’t have time to worry because she was reassuring that my pup was okay every step of the way. I would definitely book with her again and recommend that you all do too!”

“Thank you, Royal and Rhonda, for taking such wonderful care of our girls. The photos and videos of them playing with the other dogs were such a treat and made us feel like we were right there with them. We truly appreciate how warmly you welcomed them into your home—it gave us great peace of mind while we were away.”

“Well had to have our friends bring our dog last minute yo Dylan & Alex due to issues with their apartment. Dylan and Alex responded so quickly and was able to take Toast while we were overseas and gave us daily updates every morning. Can’t recommend them enough! Would definitely have our dog board again!”

“Absolutely great family taking care of Monty not just as my dog but as their own. Monty was such a happy boy when I picked him up. He says he wants to go back one day soon again. Such a beautiful family affair that made my travel so much easier knowing he s in such good hands including their super sweet and beautiful dog. Thank you so much”

“Abby did a wonderful job taking care of my Sammy. She kept us informed of how he was doing. We could enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. He was healthy and happy when we picked him. I would highly recommend her”

“Very professional and practical. The communication was punctual and timely. I was very pleased to see our dog having such a lovely time during my time away. Highly recommend Anita for your Rover needs.”


“Jay was an awesome sitter for my baby. Her love for animals was evident in the photos she provided during his visit. She is certainly a go to sitter for me, from this day forward.”

“First time leaving our boy with Christine and Nick and we couldn't be more pleased with their services. Highly recommend this family. Tunde was well cared for during his stay. We received daily updates/pictures of him playing with their pups, going on walks, and being loved on by the family. The peace of mind that you receive when your fur baby is cared for so well is priceless.”

“Adam and Amanda are absolute gems! My high-energy dog Bentley stayed with them for a week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He came back completely exhausted and slept for two straight days—which is saying a lot for him! They gave him tons of love, attention, and exercise. They played with him, kept him busy, and made sure he was both physically active and emotionally cared for. Bentley is not the easiest dog—he’s affectionate, a bit needy, and needs a lot of stimulation—but they totally knocked it out of the park. I felt so at peace on vacation knowing he was in good hands. They stayed in communication every day, sending photos and videos, and any time I had a question, they responded right away. We were so impressed that just four days after getting back from vacation, we needed a day at Kings Dominion and asked if Bentley could come back. They welcomed him right back into their home—and he charged into the house, absolutely thrilled to be there. That said it all! I absolutely recommend Adam and Amanda. They went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be back!”

“Abigail was great with Angus! He absolutely loved being there, which I knew from the multiple photos I received. He got lots of play time and snuggle time. I have and will book with her again”

“Kendra was great! This was Yasha’s second time staying with her in less than a month. Goes to show how reliable she is and how comfortable she makes you feel, leaving your fur baby with her. She truly cares. I appreciate all the photo’s and updates as well. It’s good to know my baby is having a good time while I am vacationing. No more guilt! lol”

“If I could give 100 stars I would for the exceptional care Sarah gave to my baby I would. Not only did she care for Penny as if she was her own, this was the first time Penny has been left with anyone other than family, and Sarah made Penny feel as though she was family. I would recommend Sarah to service your pet without hesitation only when I wouldn't need her again, period!”

“Rosalind is always very responsive and reliable. My puppy always seems to have a good time and comes back in a great mood. I enjoy using her for my trips because I know my dog is in good hands.”

“Another wonderful stay with Cassie! Sully had a fantastic time playing with friends and being loved on by Cassie and her family. We are so grateful for Cassie and appreciate all the care and love she gives Sully while we are away!! I am so grateful we found her!!”

“Matt is the best! He gives updates often and is flexible to accommodate changing needs. My dog always has the best time at his house and is always very well taken care of. I recommend Matt 1000%”


“Very carrying and dependable. Kept us informed each day by providing us pictures of our beloved dog. Will use her again for sure. Bentley came home happy & no stress.”
