1. Alexandra O.

“Alex is fantastic! She’s watched our pups twice now- including when we traveled cross country- and we always know they are in good hands. She sends us updates, is great with communication, and clearly cares deeply for animals. We can’t recommend her enough”


2. Michelle T.

“Moose always loves staying with Michelle and her sweet pup, Milo! He gets excited when he recognizes where we are and I always know Moose is in great hands!”




3. Hilary R.


“Hilary was great! My dog (Dakota) loved his time with her. She kept me updated with great photos and his status. I can also tell that he got a lot of exercise (and had a lot of fun). He was good and tired once he got home - just like he is when he returns from doggy day care. I will definitely schedule more time with Hilary - highly recommended!!”


4. Jeffrey H.

“I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!”


5. Julie W.


“Julie is a perfect pet sitter. She shared questions to help me explain all about my little dolly. She shared daily reports and pictures while my dolly was there. When I met her and Eric at our home visit, I felt immediately comfortable and knew she would do a terrific job taking care of my baby and she did. I'm looking forward to setting up another stay when I go away this spring.”


6. Matt M.

“The best sitting experience! I have had great experiences with Rover.com buy Matt and Cooper were the best by far. Cash is on the mind and we have Matt to thank for that. Happy holiday!”




7. DAMACIA J.

“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.”


8. Nicholas P.

“If I could give Nicholas 6 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would! Nicholas cared for our dog Belle for 10 days, and he was truly exceptional. Belle has separation anxiety, which can be tricky to manage, but Nicholas handled her with so much patience, compassion, and professionalism. He sent regular updates throughout her stay, which helped put our minds at ease—and from those updates (and how happy and relaxed she was when we picked her up), it was clear she felt safe and at home with him. Belle also had a blast playing with Boogie. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog boarder, and we’re so grateful to have found Nicholas!”




9. Tiffany B.


“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”


10. Ryan M.

“Ryan and his pup were amazing hosts to our Hank, took him for a lot of play time and adventures. Very Good with all his care needs and requests. Thank you!!!”

“Kat was so amazing with my puppy- attentive, caring, and sent frequent updates through the day. Was such a relief to know he was in good hands while away at work, thanks Kat!”


12. Raye J.

“Our pups had an awesome vacation with Raye. She sent so many videos and pictures and they looked so happy and exhausted in every one. They got plenty of outdoor time, walks and love while we were away!”


13. Danielle K.

“Danielle was awesome! She accommodated me pretty last minute when travel plans changed and made it super easy to schedule a meet and greet. Her dogs were well-behaved and played great with my dog. She was super communicative while I was gone and accommodating with pickup. Amazing sitter and I’ll definitely be using her again!”


14. Jesse D.

“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”


15. Cindy T.


“Cindy has been the best sitter for my Ziggy. He loves going to her place. Soon as we arrive, he just runs inside. She sends me daily updates and pictures also. Anytime I’ve needed to extend, Cindy is always accommodating and I truly appreciate it. I can’t recommend her enough!!”




16. Cyndi M.


“Another great stay with Cyndi! Really appreciate all of the pictures and communication she provides throughout the stay. Our pup is always well taken care of and happy while in her care. Thanks Cyndi!”

18. Nicole B.

“Nicole was super easy to communicate with, and made sure to get as much information as possible to ensure an easy stay. She obviously cares very deeply about the pets entrusted to her care, and I wouldn't hesitate to book again.”




19. Amanda E.

“Amanda was great with our pup Baxter. Contacted her on Wednesday, did a meet-and-greet on Thursday, and she watched him on Saturday. We really appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Baxter is an old dog as well and fit right in with Izzy and Sadie who were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend.”


20. Ross & Ava T.
