“Hillary and her crew took great care of my two dogs. I could tell that they were treated as members of their family. She left me with regular updates so I could relax and enjoy my time away. I will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“I was so nervous about leaving my pup for the first time. Once I met the family they were so wonderful and I felt immediately at ease. They sent lots of updates and pictures which made me so happy to see what great care they were giving him. Highly recommend this amazing family will be using them again in tbe future 100%.”
“We were nervous about leaving our English bulldog for a week. As soon as we met the carers are worries disappeared. They took great care of Clancy and sent us daily videos. We were just saying Clancy came home in good shape unlike previous kennel stays. We look forward to dropping Clancy off again in the future”
“Our 130-pound Great Dane didn't scare these dog lovers! Banner had a great time and, with lots of pictures while we were away, we trusted that he was in great care!”
“As always, Amanda and Scott are perfect! They are always so welcoming to our little guy and take such great care of him. They are the only people we turn to when we have a need for a sitter. Thank again!!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our dog sitters! They were wonderfully flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made planning our trip so much easier. Throughout our time away they sent thoughtful picture updates that gave us total peace of mind and let us see how happy our pups were. It’s clear they truly care about the dogs they watch. We will absolutely book with them again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitters!”
“Rebekah and her husband took very good care of my Reyna. They have a nice size yard for her to run around. I also like that they had dogs to keep her company. I appreciated the daily updates with pics. They are very patient and easy going”
“Lauryn was an incredible sitter! She accommodated all of my dogs’ needs and likes. She took care of my boys, Ace and Adonis, as if they were her own. I loved that she sent pictures and videos of them every day. It was such a bonus and put my mind at ease to see them having fun while I was away. I highly recommend her and we will be back! 🐾😊 Thank you Lauryn!”
“My very first time using Rover. And this was my very first time leaving Zora, ever! Before even dropping her off, Brittany communicated so well with me and assisted me comfortably. Experienced and attentive. I must say, I am very pleased! I could see that Zora had, had a great weekend with you and trusted you. From the pictures, I cannot thank you enough. I will definitely be using your service again. 😊 a new pink twin connection! Thank you Brittany! You are a blessing”
“MAGGIE AND HER FAMILY AND EINSTEIN ARE THE BEST!! My girlfriend and I are traveling and needed somewhere for my little pup to stay for a few hours pretty last minute. Maggie responded very quickly and was able to look after my Piper. Piper can get a little nervous around other dogs but Einstein was super gentle and sweet so she was just fine. Not only did Maggie take care of Piper, but so did her family, which Piper loved! She got so many snuggles from everyone and I have the pictures of it… which is another great thing about Maggie. She will send you pictures throughout your pups stay which I appreciated SO MUCH! I have never left Piper with anyone before so was very nervous about it. Getting picture updates was great and Piper looked so happy in every single one! And she really loved going for a walk with Maggie and Einstein! We don’t live in Williamsburg, but if I did, I would ask Maggie to look after Piper if I ever need to leave her. Thank you so much, Maggie and crew, for taking such good care of our girl - means more than you will ever know! Recommend 10/10, 5 stars! ⭐️”

“Very satisfied with Sunny's stay with Jeff. I was reluctant to leave my precious girl with anyone other than family but Jeff sent pictures and assured me that Sunny was doing OK. I intend to leave Sunny with the Syvias during my future travels.”
“Our cat spent three weeks under Paul and Terri’s care. We received regular updates on our cat, and it was apparent they treated our kitty as if he was their own. His living conditions and care was superb. When we picked up our cat, he was super relaxed and in great condition. Kudos to Paul and Terri for being so caring and professional boarding animals left in their care.”
“This was my first time ever using Rover and having someone watch over my dog for multiple days in their home. Jared was great to work with and kept me updated with pictures daily. I truly appreciate the care Jared provided and will definitely use his services in the future.”
“Alyssa was wonderful with Wally! She was flexible with our time frame (the LuLu-Belle docked at 8:00) and she sent us pictures and updates of Wally throughout the day. Wally came home happy and tired from a great day of playing! Thank you, Alyssa. We highly recommend Alyssa.”
“Wonderful care for our senior dog! They took such good care of him and he came home happy and content. Such a blessing to have this wonderful family provide love and attention to our old boy. This was a long stay and we never worried for a moment. We will book again for sure !!!”
“All I have to say is that I will never take my furbabies to another sitter. Monica is fantastic! They went for walks and played lots! She is VERY understanding of the bullie breed. One of my dogs even had a small blister on his paw. She cleaned it, put on neosporin and wrapped it. I was so happy that she didnt just let it go even though we were picking up in a few short hours.”
