Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!

What a great experience! A completely professional and comfortable time for our dogs and for us knowing they were in good hands. Albert and Amanda were very accommodating, and from the moment our dogs met them, they were comfortable, and our Aussie is usually a little reserved. Kind, flexible, and very knowledgeable, they even offered us a few pointers for training. I highly recommend!

We recently asked Pat and Susan to watch our 3 y/o EBD overnight as prelude to a week long vacation in a couple months. We have never used a sitter outside of our family, and our girl is our world. It was heartwarming to see her acclimate to them and their home so quickly, and we sincerely appreciated the photos and text updates we received. We are thrilled to have found Pat and Susan!

I was nervous about being away from my 5 month old puppy for the first night since getting him but after meeting, I felt like my Remy was in great hands. Shelby sent numerous photos and updates showing a happy and good boy having fun and lots of love, which reflected in the sadness he had leaving his new friends. I'll definitely be trusting Shelby whenever I need a sitter!

She was so attentive and took such good care of our dog that there are not enough accolades to say how wonderful the experience was for all of us. She sent videos and pictures during the day and she updated us on their activities. She was amazing!

This was our first time using Rover for our 9 month old puppy Bo. Samantha is amazing!!! She took such great care of Bo! He arrived to her with a fear of stairs from slipping on a couple of steps recently. Samantha worked on his fear while he was with her. He is a little timid still, but since getting home yesterday from Samantha’s, he went up and down with no problem. She even gave us tips and tricks to use if he was reluctant. He enjoyed walks with Samantha and has a new friend, her dog Mac and got to enjoy playing with him. We were updated daily and I had no worries @ all while we were away. We will definitely use her again!

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for Piper’s overnight stay with a sitter! Karen did a fantastic job keeping us updated throughout the five days, sending daily photos and messages that gave us peace of mind. It was clear that Piper was well taken care of, happy, and even got to enjoy many trips to the park! Knowing she was in such great hands made our time away so much easier. We highly recommend Karen and would absolutely book with her again in the future!

Mark was great and we will totally book with him again! He was available last minute and was very flexible with times. He has chickens but knew how to keep our retriever in check so she didn't think they were dinner. He sent pictures daily and was available to answer any question I had. I loved that our girl got to spend so much time off leash just being a dog!
