6. John S.

“John knew that Sadie liked to fetch tennis balls thrown with a Chuck-it, so he did that for her. Twice! In very cold weather & it hurt his shoulder. I really like that he only takes 1 dog family at a time. He treats my dog like his dog. Has a wonderful big fenced yard, during warmer weather has dog doors so they can go in & out at will. His dog Peaches is very sweet.”


7. Balaji & Sanna S.

“Balaji was great with our Bunny! We appreciated the excellent communication, with plenty of photos and videos. This was an excellent experience!!!”


8. Ellen C.

“We left our 3 year old Maltipoo dog under Ellen's care for one day, and Ellen took great care of him! Milo takes a little time to settle in at a new place, and Ellen was very patient and kind with him. We had informed Ellen that Milo loves to play fetch, and Ellen took him to a dog park for plenty of play time. Ellen was very communicative throughout the day with providing updates. Milo had a great stay and he was a happy dog when we picked him up. We would definitely choose Ellen again for Milo's care.”


9. Monica O.
“Monica is AMAZING with dogs. I’m so grateful to my friend for recommending her because I no longer worry about my two samoyeds when I’m out of town. She is very flexible, and since I’m not a planner, I appreciate that she accommodates my last minute requests also. Monica is also very good following instructions, even detailed medical ones. Honestly, I cannot recommend her enough”


10. Jae S.

“Last minute booking. Jae was very accommodating and kept me informed of my doggy’s food intake and behavior. Very thoughtful household.”


11. Deidre G.

“Deidre was fantastic! Will definitely use again when we’re in town next! At drop off, my dogs were comfortable with her right away and at pick up my dogs came home tired and happy! Thank you!”


12. Karina B.

“I am very happy to report that Karina and her daughter were awesome for my new foster who is really fearful and shy at first. I was nervous at first because I didn't know her at all and the lady who owns the Rescue was telling me how sometimes Rover sitters actually steal dogs! But Karina was honorable and very communicative. Responded to texts instantly all week and kept me informed of everything, even got a picture of Roxy pooping! LOL From the many pictures and videos she sent, Roxy felt right at home and did quite well I think! I recommend Karina and will definitely rebook if she's available next time I come to town!”


13. Christine H.

“Christine is awesome! So friendly and responsive, and my pup seemed very comfortable and not stressed at all, despite this being his first visit with Christine. Will definitely be returning in the future! 🐶🐾”

I definitely plan to book them for our pups first overnight soon.”
