4. Monica & Joseph L.
“I can't recommend Monica enough for anyone in need of a caring, reliable, and overall amazing dog sitter. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making the booking process a breeze. During our time away, Monica kept me updated with regular photos, a video and messages, which really put my mind at ease knowing that our Gracie was happy and well taken care of. You can tell that Monica has a genuine love for animals. Upon returning home, I could tell that my dog had a fantastic time with Monica and her family. Gracie was relaxed and happy. I will definitely feel comfortable with leaving Gracie at her house again when we need to go away.”

“It was our first time using Rover, so we were a little nervous about everything, but Chloe put us such at ease. She sent lots of pictures, and treated our Kira as if she was her own. 10/10 would recommend for sitter services. I just wish we were staying in Madison a little longer so that we could use Chloe again! Thank you so much, Chloe!”
7. Barbara O.

It made me feel at ease, leaving him with them.”

Being that this was the first time I used this app I was nervous, but not anymore; I will definitely be using her again!”

“Kat and her family are caring people who love dogs. They rescue dogs in addition to having dogs of their own. They have taken care of my two dogs (one of which is very high strung) for several years in their home. I know my puppies are always safe and well cared for when they are at Kat's home. They have a large fenced in yard so the dogs can be outside, and they are always supervised when they are outside. She has special needs dogs so she knows how to give medicines. I highly recommend her.”

20. Barbara S.
“I can't recommend Barbara enough for dog boarding! She takes excellent care of my small dog, Henry, while I'm away for work.
