“Sharon has the perfect yard and set up. She seems very easy going and you can tell when you meet her that she loves dogs. Our two dogs had a great stay and came home super happy.”


2. Michelle R.
“Our dog loved his stay with Michelle and her family. She gave updates with photos and videos during our trip and made sure we were in the loop with how he was doing. He had lots of playtime and outdoor time, got along great with her dogs, and was comfy and cared for :)”


3. Deborah F.

“Debbie was great with Ringo! We felt so at ease leaving our little buddy in her home for over a week. It was hard for us to leave him, but we knew he was in good hands and would have other doggie friends to keep him busy. We really loved getting the pictures everyday, so that we could see what he was up to. Thanks Debbie!”


4. Megan & Nicole S.

“Meghan always does a great job with Xena, my German shepherd. She gets lots of play time and I never worry what’s going on. Would highly recommend”


5. Kharen C.

“I was so very pleased with the way Kharen took care of my baby. She sent me photos and even a video showing Daisy playing. I would trust her with Daisy completely and because of her attention to Daisy I would gladly use her again. I I gave her five stars because of her set up and her attention and the fact that she was concerned about how I felt leaving Daisy. It’s a wonderful place to leave your baby!”

8. Laura & William G.

“We could not have asked for better dog sitters for our senior (arthritis, hard of hearing) girl! We've never left Ramona with strangers before, so we were a bit nervous, but Laura and Bill asked the right questions upon meeting us, were organized and communicative, and made us feel so much better about going away. We will absolutely book with them again!”


9. Sher R.

“Sher did an awesome job of taking care of our Eevee! She sent pics/video and Eevee had a great time at her house. We would happily leave Eevee with her again. Highly recommended!”

“KaLynn took amazing care of my two big dogs and sent daily updates with photos and video. She’s a joy to communicate with and gave my dogs the attention and care they’re used to. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again.”


11. Rachel & Dustin G.
About: I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life—since I was 13...and I'm 30 now! I couldn’t imagine life without them. Right now, I have 7 of my own, and I raise Goldendoodle puppies, so caring for dogs is a huge part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages—from tiny newborns to sweet senior pups—and I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs, including basic medical care, administering meds, and supporting older dogs. I also provide basic grooming like baths, brushing, and keeping them looking and feeling their best. Whether your pup needs a calm and cozy environment or someone to play and burn off energy with, I’ve got it covered. I truly treat every dog like they’re one of my own, and I know how important it is to feel at ease when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You can trust they’ll be in loving, experienced hands! I’m a hospice nurse -weekend nights only, so I'm home all day during the week and weekends! My husband is home after work everyday and on the weekends as well, so we are completely available to take care of your pets. We live on the back of our 13 acres, far from any main roads. We don't have the property fully fenced in just because it's so large. We have multiple dog kennels/runs for our own dogs if separation is needed.


12. Alison A.

“Alison is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog, Poppy, loves her. Poppy comes home happy, it is obvious Poppy has been well cared for. I would not leave my dog anywhere else.”


13. Thomas R.

“They took great care and attention to my Shiloh during her stay with them. A couple of walks a day. Lots of pics updates! Easy communicating with them. Shiloh thoroughly enjoyed her stay and will definitely be back...💜”


14. Lacie B.
“Lacie has been dog sitting for our Australian Shepherd since she was a puppy. Lacie loves all kind of animals and she is caring and loving to all of them!”


15. Marie L.

“Marie was amazing with our dog Ivy. She sent lots of picture updates, and even drove us to and from the airport (even with last minute flight delays/changes). Would definitely recommend!!”


16. Ryan S.


“Ryan saved us after a last minute cancellation from our original sitter the day of our trip! Our 4-1/2 month old puppy had stomach upset before staying with her, and she met all his needs and then some! He was happy and diarrhea free when we picked him up, and made friends with her puppy! We were so grateful that Everest stayed with her!”




17. Laura M.


“I hesitate to leave a review for Laura lest she become so popular that she’s unable to care for my dog. Laura was born to work with animals. She was fully beamed in to Rigatoni’s needs and moods and he came home happy and relaxed. Laura kept me updated on how Rigs spent his days and sent many photos. I’ve been using Rover for years and Laura is far and away the best pet sitter I’ve ever found.”


18. Happy Hearts and Waggin Tails, LLC

“We had our 8mo Chihuahua mix pup, Zelda, stay with Julie while we were out of the country & we won't use anyone else in the future. We hadn't left our pup with anyone yet & Julie graciously hosted a meet & greet in her home so I could see where she'd be staying. From the moment Julie sat on the floor to meet my timid pup where she was at, I knew that she understood exactly what dogs needed. The drop off before our trip was a breeze, as she had Zelda engaged in play & we just slipped out quietly. Julie was very communicative, kept us up to date on the adventures they were having & sent us lots of pics of our sweet little lady throughout each day. It was awesome to see Zelda having so much fun & being loved on, just as much we do. We had a bit of trouble with delayed flights coming back to the US, & Julie had no problem being flexible with keeping Zelda another day. Julie is one of the most kind & thoughtful humans. She put papertowels in between the food dishes when she packed everything up & put a note to remind us the peanut butter was in the bag so we didn't leave it out of the fridge too long after the days of travel we had. She snuck a welcome home card in, too. There are so many examples I could give of the type of caretaker & human Julie is, but the fact that I never worried once about Zelda while we were gone really says it all (I admittedly am an anxious control freak of a pet parent). I know Zelda loves her just as much as we do because she greeted us with barks & hackles up until she realized we were her long lost parents. 😆”


19. Jessica F.

“Jessica is wonderful! This is the first time I have left my puppy with anyone. She is very communicative and made sure she knew Tama’s schedule for feeding and bathroom breaks. She sent me updates and pictures of Tama and her dog Toby. She took care of of Tama as if he was her own! I Would definitely recommend her and Toby to you and your pet.”


20. Kaela H.

“We are SO pleased with the experience our baby had with Kaela! The daily updates with pictures and videos really put us at ease! Jax got all of the cuddles and plays from Kaela and her 2 pups. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
