I have never left my Thor with anyone but my family, but I was happily pleased with Gianniana. I received pictures and my dog was playing and having so much fun. She did a wonderful job of taking care of him and I really appreciate meeting her on Rover.

Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.

I was so apprehensive about leaving my Nori with anyone, but to my surprise after leaving him with Bernice she quickly me down by sending me pics of Nori, throughout the day. Nori seemed so happy, and it made me feel at peace.

Niyah did a really good job with my dog Lady. Niyah sent me pictures of Lady daily to show me that Lady was okay. Niyah was responsive when I reach out to her and she replied immediately to all of my text messages. Lady returned home happy and she was returned back to me in the same condition I left her. If I need a dog sitter in the future I would leave Lady with her again. Thank you Niyah for taking care of Lady with short notice during the Holiday.

It’s so cute to see my Chaseypoo interact with Amia and Joshua, the kids and their pups. They adore her and she comes home happy and tired and ready for a nap.

Duane took such good care of my adult (6yo) mini poodle. Although it was only one night that my dog stayed with him, I could clearly see that she became a good friend of him and when I went to pick her up after the stay.

Jordan took such care to make sure Patches felt comfortable and safe. She took her time to integrate her into the household, and then sent me pictures every night with her and Jordan's pup as well as her kid. Patches will skip meals when her routine is disrupted, and Jordan went out of her way to correspond with me and encourage her to eat. Very caring, organized, and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Kassia is now my go to dog sitter! She was patient and answered all my questions, she immediately sent updates and photos of my pup, and was just overall so friendly. When coming to pick up my pup, kassia and her children were playing with him and seemed to be having a good time. My dog looked as if he was apart of the family! My puppy returned to me happy and received a great report. Kassia is an outstanding sitter!

Cathy is so lovely and caring. She has watched our pups in last minute situations and has been wonderfully accommodating. I think one of the dogs might break his tail from wagging it so hard with excitement when we pull into her driveway. Thank you Cathy!

I had Barbara watch my almost 7 year old cat for 3 nights and 4 days. She made me feel comfortable and made sure my cat was taken care of while I was away. Barbara was sweet and let my cat outside the bedroom. Her litter was clean and followed the feeding instructions. I definitely recommend her

This was my first time ever leaving Fiona with anyone other than my mom, I was very nervous about it but Doris made me feel right at home. Doris and Gio greeted a warm welcome to me and Fiona. Doris’s communication skills were on point, anytime I checked in on Fiona I got a response time back so quick. Doris is absolutely amazing and I will be booking with her again. Fiona and Gio got along great.Thank you so much Doris

Niyah did an amazing job taking care of my puppy! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided updates, was attentive, and clearly cared for my pup as if she were her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring.
