“Joni is amazing ! I wouldn't trust my Violet with anyone else. She truly is a dog whisper. Violet adores her and Joni treats her just like as if she was her own ! I wouldn't take your dog to anyone eles!”
“Kathy is a wonderful dogsitter! It’s always stressful leaving your furry friends behind, but Kathy takes the time to put you and your dogs at ease. She understands the importance of allowing your dog to go at their own pace and acclimate to their environment during the initial meet and greet and each subsequent visit. She never pushes dogs for interactions they aren’t ready for, which is especially important in my case as one of my dogs is fearful and easily stressed. Kathy also has a dog of her own - the tiniest, sweetest thing. Even my very shy dog doesn’t mind her. Overall, I’d say every experience I’ve had with Kathy has been excellent. She’s good with both dogs and people, she’s caring and easy to talk to, and I find her to be trustworthy and dependable. I’m very grateful to have found her!”
“Great sitter! Sent pictures how my Harley was doing. Great picture! Harley was very happy with Kim. Kim was very kind and patient with Hailey. I felt Harley was very safe with Kim and she spoiled him like he was one of her own. Excellent 👌.”
“My dog is always very excited to spend the night with Marty and her family! She keeps you updated on the events of the day and the wellness of your animal. Marty is attentive to your dog's needs and quirks, and I always know I'm picking up a happy and relaxed boy. Have used Marty in the past, and will continue to use her for future boarding needs!”
“I had a great first experience with Rover, thanks to Martha! Martha took amazing care of my dog for a whole week in her home. I was nervous about leaving him because he's had behavioral issues in the past, but it worked out really well! Martha was very responsive from the start and experienced with rescue dogs. Martha was very accommodating of Bumi's daily medication schedule and prescription diet, as well as his rescue quirks. She sent pictures and updates which were great comforts to me. Bumi was clearly very happy and comfortable while he was boarding. I will not hesitate to book Martha again!”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs! She took great care of them while we were out of town. Sent me several pictures too which eased my mind about having a new sitter. Will definitely rebook with her in the future. Thanks Kaleigh for everything you did for the girls!”
“I am so glad I found Vickie to watch my two dogs. The meet and greet made me feel so comfortable, and I knew my dogs would be in great hands, and they were. Pictures and video were sent while I was away, and I could tell they were having a great time. Definitely a 5 star sitter!”
“I am so thankful for Jennifer! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Molly! Jennifer sent lots of photos and updates along with taking Molly on walks. Molly was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I knew Molly was well taken care of and loved! Jennifer and her family are so nice and took care of Molly as their own. This was such a great experience, I booked with Jennifer again as soon as I got home! I appreciate Jennifer so much and highly recommend her!!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”
“She was fantastic with Luna. Jessica sent us tons of pictures and updates about Luna’s day & eating. She also kept Luna playing and happy. Jessica is professional and caring. Would book again.”
“We are very pleased with the excellent care our little girl received from Michelle. It's great to know your fur babies are being well taken care of when you're away from them.”
“Highly recommend Audrey! Very friendly and we got daily updates. We have used different boarding services before and this is the first time our dog came back and wasn't mad at us, lol. He must have had a good time! :)”
“Rebecca was the best dog sitter my dog, Sassy, ever had! She was very attentive to Sassy’s needs. Sassy went on walks, played, got a lot of belly rubs, and even got to sleep on the bed with Rebecca. Sassy, who barely weighs 10lbs, got along well with Rebecca’s gentle giant, Dottie, a Great Pyrenees. Rebecca sent me pictures and updates at least twice if not three times a day. If I return to Michigan again for a vacation I will definitely have Rebecca tend to Sassy.”
“We highly recommend Julie. She was very personable and friendly- Handled everything professionally and has excellent communication. Beautiful clean home. Brody and Bailey we’re both very happy there. The pictures were great. Look forward to visiting again. ?”
