“Shuling was a fantastic and attentive sitter to our dog while we were out of town. We got regular updates about his care with photos and videos, and she made sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay!”
“Megan was great! We enjoyed getting photo and video updates. She made our dog feel right at home and helped our dog get more comfortable with being around other dogs.”
“Brian and Sheena were great with Charlie. They sent us pics daily and updates on how he was doing. We are grateful for their care of him. Also our plane was delayed, so we were an hour late picking him up. They were very understanding. We will use them again.”
“Absolutely wonderful experience that Star had with Eli. Eli did an amazing job taking care of Star and we will return to him every time we are in need of a sitter for our dog. Thank you Eli!”
“Michelle was absolutely wonderful while watching my Gigi. She provided me with daily updates and made the whole dog-sitting process so easy. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog-sitter!”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving Montana in their care especially when he didn't pay me any attention when I dropped him off. The daily photos and videos validated he was in good hands and enjoying himself. Kelly, Maurice and the entire family treat each dog as their own, and we could not be more thankful to them for the amount of love and care they gave to Montana. He enjoyed HIS vacation more than the family! We knew he would rather stay with them than to come back home with us!! We will definitely be repeat customers and would recommend them to anyone!”
“Crystal was phenomenal in every way for our little guy! Very professional and offered personalized service for our "fur baby" as she called him. Would definitely recommend her service and will use her again. 😎”
“Link was well taken care of. Mark gave daily updates and he took amazing pictures. Link is an anxious dog, but I could see as the days went on he was looking more and more relaxed in the pics. 10/10”
“Nadia and Rachel were exceptional with our Kobe. Very detailed, had treats and toys for him, updated us, sent pics, took him on walks. We loved seeing him so cheerful in pictures and on pickup. Absolutely recommend and will call on Rachel again.”
“Kellyn took awesome care of our cat (Sox). In fact, he made a kitty friend while under Kellyn’s care and wasn’t ready to leave when we picked him up. I will definitely use her again.”
“This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous about leaving our fur baby with a Stanger in their home. Well Mady met and exceeded our expectations! We have a 96 pound Rottweiler and Mady loved on her and she enjoyed spending time with their dog Radar! She has a clean and spacious fenced in back yard and also took Stormy on nice walks! There were also toys there to keep Stormy occupied and happy. Mady followed our instructions exactly as it relates to her care. She sent pictures and videos which kept us from worrying! We highly recommend Mady, it’s clear this is not just a business for Mady, she truly has a love for dogs!”
“First time using a sitter for my two dogs who are now seniors. Andy was responsive and met with us first in person so we felt comfortable. During out trip, he kept us up to date with what was happening and sent lots of pictures. We will use Andy in the future!”
“This is Koda second visit with Donna and Brian. I appreciate the care and attention provided. Koda seems to be happy during his visit. I look forward to scheduling another visit during my next trip!”
“I cannot recommend Maddie enough! She watched our dog, Jameson, for a little over a week during Thanksgiving and went above and beyond in every way. From the start, it was clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She kept me updated with frequent pictures, videos, and messages, which made it so much easier to be away from Jameson. One thing I especially appreciated was how she allowed Jameson to socialize with other dogs during his stay. He’s still relatively new to us, so we’re still learning each other, but it’s clear now he thrives on interaction, and she ensured he had safe and fun playtime with the other dogs. It was heartwarming to see how much fun he was having while we were gone. Here’s the most amazing part: After spending so much time with JameO and seeing how much joy he brought into her home, Maddie decided to get a puppy of her own for her family! It’s such a testament to her love for animals, and I couldn’t be happier for her. When we came back, Jameson was happy, healthy, and relaxed—it was like he had his own mini-vacation! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring dog sitter, Maddie is hands down the best choice. Thank you, Maddie, for treating Jameson like one of your own and for being so incredible!”
“Marta was so great!! Let me tell you, I am picky when it comes to finding a dog sitter and am willing to drive a bit far for a good one, and I think I’ve found one in Marta! Just from interacting with her a few times I can tell she is professional, experienced in caring for different types of dogs, and seems to be a big dog lover too! During the meet & greet, she had a list of questions about my dog Mochi and took down notes which shows she takes it seriously. And when the boarding day came, I had to push the drop off time by over an hour and she was very flexible about it. She sent several pictures during the day and Mochi looked like she was having a blast in all of them! She also has a huge fenced backyard where the pups can run and play, which is a big plus! Especially for a large golden-lab mix like mine with lots of energy. Will definitely board with Marta again! 😊”
“Leticia was wonderful with my Frenchie, Arya. She sent many updates with pictures and it was obvious that Arya was happy and well taken care of. I truly felt that Leticia treated Arya as one of her own and I will be using her services again!”
“Diana is fantastic with communication! Even though my dog is almost 9, it never gets easier leaving her somewhere! Diana sent me pictures throughout Heidi’s stay and kept me updated on everything! I would definitely recommend Diana as a sitter!”
“The sign of a good visit by your dog is when he falls asleep on the car ride home. Ann and her family could not have been more welcoming of my dog and more tolerant of his initial uneasiness around new people. From all of the photos I was sent, I could see him having so much fun with their dog and also napping alongside -- and at times on -- their family.”
