Bridges watched my dog for a week and did a wonderful job. She met me and my dog beforehand which helped make me feel more at ease, and she provided frequent updates on how he was doing during the stay. She took him on a lot of walks, and he had a wonderful time with her. I would happily have my dog stay with Bridgid again!

Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard

Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.

Brie had a wonderful time with Christine and friends, and Christine takes her health and safety seriously so that I never needed to worry about her and could enjoy the weekend away. Thanks to Christine for always being the very best! Highly recommend!

Leonard and Kathryn were great! I felt very safe leaving Luke there for a long weekend, knowing he was being kept active/getting attention and not sitting in a cage - an experience I've had with a few Rover sitters. Very flexible, and I loved getting pictures each day. Definitely booking the next time I need a sitter.

I can’t say enough about how amazing and kind Soraya was to have as a sitter for our Heidi. My original plan was to take Heidi with us on our vacation, and when that didn’t work out Soraya was available kind of last minute. When we decided we may want to extend our trip, she was also flexible so that we had the privilege to do that. She sent photos and updates every day which made my mind at ease, knowing Heidi was being loved and taken care of while we were away. Normally when I have to leave Heidi with someone, and I come back, she wiggles and squirms to get out of their arms and to me. When I picked Heidi up today, she didn’t squirm so much, yet she seemed content in Soraya’s arms. So, I know Soraya and her husband loved our girl, but I also know she loved them as well.

Esther & Mike were wonderful with our dogs. It was the first time we left them with someone other than family. We have one easy dog and one senior dog who can be grumpy and difficult. We were a little nervous, but Esther & Mike welcomed them both and got them acclimated to being around other dogs with no problems at all. They took great care of our ‘fur babies’ and I’d trust our dogs with them for another stay anytime.

This is our second booking with Michel and first overnight boarding. Her thoughtful planning and questions to ensure our anxious pup’s comfort and understand his preferences were truly appreciated. It was evident from photos that he was adjusting well and making himself at home with her and her husband. We have no reservations in recommending her services and would be grateful to be considered for future bookings.

Emma and her fiance Joe were fantastic! We loved that Stella got all the 1:1 time and were provided daily updates showing just how spoiled she was. Emma was great about making sure Stella got in a daily walk (her normal routine at home), and we appreciated that they both rolled with the fact that Stella is an early riser. We will 100% book with Emma again!

This was our first time leaving our puppy overnight, so needless to say, we were those nervous helicopter parents. Erin made the whole process so seamless and easy. We felt totally safe leaving our pup with her. Erin sent regular photos and Updates, which enabled us to enjoy our overnight trip without having to worry about our fur baby, knowing he was good hands. We will definitely be booking again the next time we need a sitter. 5 star, highly recommend.

I hate writing reviews but was compelled to give Leila an honest and deserved review after a week away from our dog. Would I book again? 100% yes. Did my dog do well? Absolutely. Would I recommend Leila to others? In an instant. She is caring, reliable, communicates well, and really understands the needs of dogs. Stop looking, Leila is what your dog wants and needs in a sitter.
