“Matt and Lucky were so great with Dean! He’s a high anxiety dog and it makes me so nervous to leave him with anyone new. They reassured me everyday with updates and lots of pictures. If I ever need to board him again Matt and Lucky will be my first pick!”



“Damacia was fantastic! Our Goldendoodle puppy loved playing with her dogs and was very well-cared for. She came home clean, happy and tired! We’d definitely recommend and will use Damacia in the future. We are so grateful to have found her!”


“Cassie and her family are incredible. We have been bringing our two pups to them since 2020. They are a loving family who give our dogs amazing care, abundant attention and armfuls of love! Cassie sends a lot of pictures and videos throughout our dogs stay that always assure us that they are in the best hands. If you're looking for a sitter you can trust, please consider Cassie and family!!”


“Christine was patient and took her time explaining everything to me since this was my first time. Khayne adjusted well upon meeting and was very happy to be there. Absolutely pleased!”


“They made my first experience with dog sitting extremely comfortable. The peace of mind I had knowing they were caring for my pup as their own, I am truly grateful. They sent pictures and videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking Micheal and his wife again in the near future! Thank you so much everything Major and I are so appreciative!”


“Abby took such good care of our Ada. She welcomed her into our home while we were out of the country for two weeks. Ada was incorporated into their family. Sent pictures so we could see how happy she was! Definitely recommend Abby and will use her again!”


“My dog stay went well. I was worried about leaving her with strangers and how she would adapt, but Royal and Rhonda did a great job with her. They also sent us a lot of updates with pictures which made us feel at ease. I would definitely recommend them. Thanks”



“Helen took excellent care of our Great Dane! She sent us frequent updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. We will definitely be using her dog boarding services 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”


“I am so happy with Dylan! He took excellent care of my dog, Max, sending regular updates and photos throughout my trip(s), which really put my mind at ease. Max got ill while in Dylan’s care and he went up and beyond and brought Max to his primary Vet to ensure he was cared for. Max always seemed relaxed and happy when he returned home. As long as Dylan is available, I will definitely be booking with him!”


“Milo had a great time with Dahlia and Jalen! They sent us updates throughout the weekend and photos of him snuggling, taking walks outside, and playing with their pup, Kris, and his toys. Their fenced-in back yard and work-from-home lifestyle were added bonuses for our curious and social pup. When we picked him up, he was relaxed and happy. We’re so pleased to have found a dog sitter who is caring, attentive, trustworthy, and fun!”


“Fantastic sitters in every way! They took amazing care of our dog and we could not ask for anything more. We received multiple photos and videos throughout our vacation, which showed how much our dog was being loved on and how well she was being taken care of. Will absolutely request this couple again.”


“Elaine and Steven took wonderful care of our hyper Goldendoodle, no easy assignment given his energy levels. He came back to us better behaved, calmer, and better socialized. Elaine and Steven also took time to update us with photos and reports of our dog’s state of being. They have a wonderful, large property, with lots of room for dogs to explore. Thanks to Elaine and Steven, our dog had a better vacation than we did. I cannot recommend Elaine and Steven more enthusiastically.”


“Ashley kept my 6 month old Yorkie and She was amazing! She was so sweet, pleasant and welcoming, my puppy Angel loved her, she sent me pictures and I was so happy to see how much fun Angel was having! Book Ashley She is the best!”


“Adam was an EXCELLECT sitter! You can tell he has the patience and passion to engage positively with your dog!!! Great customer service and communication! Would rebook again!”


“Radka was absolutely wonderful with Sully! She sent lots and lots of pictures and videos and Sully was having so much fun in each one. Her backyard is huge and a haven for any playful pup. She took great care in making sure Sully ate his food (he can be picky) and provided updates on how he was doing each day. Can’t recommend her enough and will be booking again in the future!!”


“First time using Rover for having a dog sitter but she guided me through it. Excellent communication. Having a bigger dog I was nervous to leave him because some people are just afraid/wary of them but she was very understanding and assured me everything would be fine. Sent pictures of my dog to me throughout the entire time. Definitely would recommend!!”
