“Melissa and her family where fantastic with our babies. Anna and Olaf looked to be very comfortable and loved. She updated us thought our vacation and we felt that she and her family welcomed our babies with such care. We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you so much for the care you showed us, we appreciate you!”
“Gabby had the best time for her stay away from me. She received excellent care with Angi. I received pictures of Gabby every day and Angi filled me in how she was doing. Angi said she was a very good girl. Thank you Angi. Jeannie”
“Krysten took great care of my dog. She sent text updates and pictures which are always appreciated. This is the second Rover family we have used and prefer it over using boarding kennels. I trust her enough to watch my dog again. Thank you!”
“We highly recommend Anna! She sent pictures and updates so we knew our dog was happy and safe. Our dog warmed up to her family quickly and had a great stay. We will definitely be booking with Anna again in the future!”
“Jayne and her family took such good care of our puppy! He came home absolutely exhausted from all the fun :) She had great communication and was flexible to meet our needs. I would highly recommend Jayne!”
“Jesse was great taking care of our pup yuzu!! She is super informative and sent a lot of updates which we loved!! I can tell yuzu was so happy to be there and she was well cared for! Jesse’s dogs accepted yuzu as part of their pack and I didn’t have to worry if they were gonna get along or not!! I would definitely rebook again or even see her for grooming!! 🥰😍 thank you for everything!”
“Alesia was absolutely amazing for our elder pup! This was our first time using a pet sitter and our experience with Alesia was perfect! She not only cared for our sweet labordoodle, she also kept us informed & sent pictures/videos of our sweet guy! I highly recommend Alesia!”
“Melissa‘s kindness, sincerity, and genuine warmth shine through from the moment you meet her. Her home has that same welcoming energy –comfortable safe and full of thoughtful touches. The meat-and-greet Melissa offered before the stay was generous and reassuring, and Copper, her pup, was the perfect host - basically the mayor of hospitality town! He welcomed Peanut like an old friend and immediately showed her around. Melissa was flexible, thoughtful, and attentive, and she sent photos and videos throughout Peanut’s stay that absolutely made my day. Peanut came home ready for a nap, content, and clearly well-cared for - the Holy Trinity of a perfect pup vacation! Copper even taught Peanut how to go down the stairs, which definitely deserves its own merit badge. I am grateful for people like Melissa who create a safe, honest, and welcoming space for visiting pups. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring home for their dog. You almost want to ask if she offers human boarding too. Melissa is agem – five stars, many tail wags, and a standing ovation from Peanut.”
“Melissa and her family were great with Kira (and just super nice in general! :) They kept me updated on how she was doing and sent me great pics throughout her stay. I also really appreciated Melissa's willingness to do a meet 'n greet before my dog's first stay. It's not easy for me to leave my fur baby with just anyone, but Melissa and her family have quickly gained my trust.”
“I can't say enough good things about Sheila! From the moment I first spoke with her, I knew my kitten Ophie would be in great hands. Sheila took him in on just a day's notice, which was incredibly generous given the timing, and she handled everything with such care. She asked all the right questions to make sure she understood his needs, and her attention to detail was clear from the start. She even documented his first day with her, which was so reassuring and thoughtful. Throughout the week, she kept us updated regularly. Under Sheila’s care, Ophie’s personality truly shined. He was comfortable, happy, and clearly adored. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, and Sheila absolutely did that. I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, reliable sitter!”
“Zach has watched our highly anxious dog twice now and he has done such a great job both times!! We can enjoy our vacations knowing our dog is in such great hands with Zach!”
“Lauren and Corry took great care of my dog while my family and I left on an emergency trip. Kept us updated and made my dog feel welcomed. I will book with them again.”
“Casandra was wonderful! She sent photos and updates of Happys stay, she even took him for a ride to scheels and let him borrow her kiddie pool! She took him in as a late last minute request and helped me out in a serious pinch! Would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Jamie sent daily updates of my pup, which made it so much easier to enjoy time away from home. Nellie was grateful to have other pups to hang out with 😉 Thank you Jamie!”
“Chelsey was great and pretty flexible since I was out of state. I never had the chance to meet ahead of time because of my schedule, but I couldn’t be happier with how she treated me and my cat! Chelsey sent me nice updates and plenty of pictures over the week, which was especially nice over the holidays. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Paige was so friendly! She was an amazing communicator and sent us constant updates on how our ‘baby’ was doing. You can tell our dog was really loved on! I would definitely rebook with Paige!”
