“10/10 recommend. Cliff and his wife watched my dog while I was out of town, and when I came back to get her, she was all smiles. I can tell she genuinely loved staying there (not always the case at other sitters btw!) The home is large with a fenced in back yard and toys for the dogs to play in. My dog required solo playtime, as she doesn’t always get along with other dogs, and they were very accommodating. I will be booking future stays with them!”

“They did a wonderful job watching our girl Mouse. She had recently been spayed and they took time and care to make sure she didn’t have any issues while we were traveling for work. We will absolutely use their boarding services again. They sent daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated. 10/10”

“Kathy clearly loves dogs and is very careful to make sure she knows all the needs of your pup before you leave. She sent updates and photos that eased my worry about leaving my dog with a new sitter. Frances came home happy and tired! :)”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

“Samantha was exceptionally kind and generous towards my little dogs. She made sure that they received their medication‘s, were showered with love, affection, and care, even sharing a bed with them. I’m exceptionally grateful for how she was able to give them their medications every day, and my dogs looked genuinely happy to be there. She was incredibly thoughtful and punctual with communication, and went the extra mile by staging photo shoots with my dogs every day.I’m grateful to Samantha and would gladly rebook her anytime.”

“Summer was an absolutely wonderful sitter for Tycho and Kepler! They stayed with her for 5 days and 4 nights, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She sent multiple photos each day and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. It was clear from the start that Summer took the time to read our dogs’ Rover profiles. She came prepared with thoughtful questions at drop-off and even reached out when Kepler started chewing on a deer antler, just to double-check with us. That level of attentiveness meant a lot. Tycho and Kepler got tons of playtime with her own pets, including her dog Morty and her cats, and they clearly had a great time. As an added bonus, her son was incredibly sweet with our dogs and spent time cuddling with them, which made their stay even more special. We would absolutely book with Summer again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and attentive sitter!”

“Anna was wonderful with my pup and is just a special person who loves animals. Her home was amazing and is perfect for any dog. The backyard was a special treat for sure for my Chip. I cannot recommend Anna and her home enough. I knew my dog was very well taken care of and in great hands. Excellent communication as well. Thank you Anna and Gabe too 😘 ❤️”

“Stacie and Doug are the best! They treated our Westie like the Queen that she is and sent us notes so we could remain connected. We met in advance of our booking to get to know each other and they were very kind when I had some last minute changes to our agenda. Our pup got along very well with their pup and we would recommend them for your pup as well!”

“I really appreciate Pat for taking very good care of lily during her stay. Appreciate receiving daily updates with pictures & videos. Will definitely get her service again in the future.”

“Sarah was the best sitter we’ve had- so glad we found her. She sent daily pictures and videos of her playing and walking our pup. He really enjoyed the backyard. She was very attentive to him, we were relieved to know he was in good hands. Sarah was also very understanding and flexible with travel times. Will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.”

“Brendan and Sarah were wonderful. They boarded Gracie with little notice, sent lots of photos, and Gracie had such a good time she didn’t want to leave.”

“Stephanie was awesome. My dogs were in good hands and were well taken care of. I was sent pictures and videos of my dogs and they looked very happy. Would highly recommend.”

“Tara & Peter are great sitters. They keep me informed of how Murphy was doing with his stay with them and any other dogs that were there. They were really good at sending me pictures of Murphy while interacting with the family and their dog. It was really reassuring and I feel they were a great choice for Murphy. I would use them again.”

“Bri I wanna thank you so much for your boarding service! You are God sent. You loved on my baby, kept me informed, sent pictures and treated him like your own. You took great care of my Brawny! I am looking forward to booking with you again! I appreciate you!!!”

“Karin is amazing!!! My boy fit right in at her beautiful home! She has a really great doggie that helped him not have too much anxiety with his mom leaving him in a new place for the day! I highly recommend Karin”

“Takia was amazing taking care of our dogs. She communicated with us throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. Our dogs were loved and cared for 100%. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again for our next vacation.”

“Malik was an excellent pet sitter with a kind spirit and a welcoming smile. He provided regular updates with pictures and videos of my dog, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He went above and beyond to help care for my dog, even monitoring and addressing his loose stool from anxiety before drop-off. I highly recommend Malik to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
