“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Patti and Patrick. He was dealing with some health issues prior to his stay with them, and they were supportive with giving him his medication. Patti sent us fun text messages and photos everyday of our happy boy. He was well taken care of and loved in their care.”
“We love having Michelle watch our dog while we are out of town because she has wonderful (and prompt) communication and my dog is very comfortable around her. She takes him for walks and helps him feel at home.”
“Alexandra did a wonderful job. Very responsive to text messages and provided daily updates. Her residence has plenty of space for dogs to run and have fun. Definitely going to book with her next time we need a sitter. I felt very comfortable that our dog was in good hands.”
“The care and understanding of our dog and helping her acclimate to their home was outstanding in every way. Was given time to be a part of the family and enjoy being part of their 'pack'. The messages and images helped us know about how she was doing during her stay. She would go back in an instant.”
“Anna was wonderful ...Maile looked better than when we left him. He was a bit tired probably from having dog friends to play with and a yard. All positive....we will be boarding with Anna again when she is available.”
“Lisa helped us out last minute with dog sitting when our other sitter fell through and she was great!! Very responsive and even sent us pictures of Briggs. He came home a very happy pup thanks to Lisa and Dukey!!”
“Alisha and Cameron took such great care of our dog Bear! He was so happy at their house. They provided lots of updates and pictures. I know he got lots of love. They have been our favorite Rover family to date!”
“Awesome experience from start to finish. Couldn’t be happier. Tammy and John took such good care of our dog. We received multiple daily updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was getting lots of love and attention.”
“Jennifer was an absolute lifesaver for us and an incredible dog sitter. She sent daily photo updates and detailed messages about our baby girl Reeba, which put my mind completely at ease. It's clear she has a genuine love for animals. It was such a comfort also to know Reeba was calm, and she even got extra playtime and snuggles with the kids. Reeba seemed completely relaxed and happy in the pictures Jen sent. We can't recommend Jennifer and her family enough , we will definitely be booking with her again for our future trips!”
“I was very impressed Marie and Mark. When we first went to meet them, Marie took Luna off her leash so she could explore the house. Luna jumped up on the couch to be next to them. They did not care and just petted her. The pics the sent was Luna going on walks and curled up next to them. I felt very comfortable Luna was just fine. Will use, for sure, again.”
“Amy is beyond amazing!!! I would not second guess leaving my pet with her. She is such a caring person and it shows from her skills she has with pets. Amy was so welcoming to my pup and cared for her. She was also very flexible when I had to extend my dogs stay for longer than expected. She even got my dog to eat, and she sometimes has anxiety being in new places. Amy sends pictures and updates of your pet. She did an amazing job!!”
“Jenell was great with our dog Max! He had a great time and was well taken care of! Janell kept us up to date with pictures, updates and was extremely responsive. We will definitely have Janell watch Max again.”
“Julie took great care of my two dogs Ollie and Hercules. Her two big dogs were wonderful around my little dogs. The backyard is fenced and safe and I felt content leaving my dogs with her. I will be coming back.”
“Hather had an amazing time with Kyle, who took the best care of our big old guy and was attentive to his needs. Thanks Kyle for making a home-away-from-home for our dog!”
“I couldn't have been happier with the love and thorough care Shelly gave to my dog, Rocky. I feel so incredibly blessed to have found Shelly to be his caregiver. Shelly sent pictures throughout his stay with her and even helped me figure out some new foods and treats for my picky little eater. I will be booking with her again and again! You won't regret booking with Shelly. She is a true animal lover.”

Lisa did a great job looking after my two dogs, Ice and Minnie! The girls felt instantly comfortable at Lisa’s home and her little dog Dukey was just the sweetest host as well! A special treat was the fenced backyard where the three dogs could all run and play. The communication was superb, and I got some nice pictures of my dogs while I was away for the weekend. I will definitely ask Lisa to care for my dogs again. Thanks Lisa!!
We couldn’t be happier with the care our French Bulldog, Frenchy, received! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs and treat them like family. Frenchy felt comfortable right away, and we got great updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away.
