“Couldn’t ask for better care for our big guy! We have a Bernese and the size of our dog can be intimidating, but not for Katie and her family. They took excellent care of him from start to end and communicated very well the entire stay. Highly recommend!”


“Holly is so wonderful with Coco and we feel truly comfortable with her! Coco has an absolute blast playing with Hollys dogs and comes home happy and tired. Its a win win!!! 😀”


“Exceptional dog sitting. Always kept us up to date with pics and vids and a quick summary of the day. Provided plenty of walks and many opportunities to sniff around. Would not hesitate to book them again. These folks get our highest recommendation.”


“My wife and I were very nervous to have someone watch our pups while we were on our trip, and I am so happy that I found Stephanie. Stephanie was great! She gave us updates everyday with photos, and the dogs were comfortable with her family. Would definitely recommend!”


“Can’t recommend Ashley enough! This was our first time using Rover while my wife sat for the bar exam, so it was a stressful time, but we never worried about our two dogs who stayed with Ashley. It gave us so much peace of mind! Our dogs had a tough time adjusting to being in a new space and Ashley was incredibly understanding, flexible, and compassionate. She also sent a bunch of pictures, which was great! Can’t recommend her enough!”


“This is my second time using Sayaka. Very nice people, I do not worry at all about my dog because I know he is with dog another dog family. Great about sending updates. Thank you again! We really appreciate it.”


“This was my first time using Rover and seperating from my 2 mini goldendoodles for more than a few hours. Evelin was very caring and loving towards both my dogs and not only her but all her family, they treated them like it was their dogs which I loved and amazed how fast my dogs felt like at home with her. She sents pictures and made sure to remind me everything was okay and to enjoy my vacations. I couldn't thank her enough for all she did, I look forward to booking with her again for any overnight boarding in the future! I highly recommend booking your fur baby's stay with Evelin! ❤️”


“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Caitlin! She was absolutely incredible—by far the best sitter we’ve had for Sully. She kept us constantly updated with pictures and messages, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our own vacation knowing he was in such good hands. From the looks of it, Sully had his own vacation filled with fun, cuddles, and adventures. We’ll definitely be booking with Caitlin again—she’s a true gem!”


“Alison was great with our sweet Sofie. She sent daily pictures and was home with her most of the time, which our dog is especially used to. We will definitely use her again, and I highly recommend Alison.”


“Tammy was great! She watched our dog Freya while we were out of town for the weekend and she was very communicative and accommodating. She took the time to get to know our dog during a meet and greet which we really appreciated. We will definitely be reaching out to Tammy again next time we need a pet sitter! Highly recommend!”


“Crystal was extremely nice and welcoming to our pup. She sent a pic or video update everyday and he took to her as soon as he met her. I would definitely love to use Crystal again.”


“Staci pet-sat for my fur-baby Maggie for 2 days and I am thinking she is missing her and her family. When my husband and I picked her up, Maggie gave me a little resistance on the leash, but eventually walked towards our car. I have always been hesitant about leaving Maggie with anyone outside of our family because she has separation anxiety and can be sad when we left her in the past with other pet sitting services. I am so grateful that Staci took such good care of Maggie and gave us updates that gave me a piece of mind while away. Thank you for keeping her and obviously loving on her so much. 💜 I can’t wait for the next time she gets to go to you. -D. Recinos”


“Zoe had a wonderful stay with Olivia! She was well taken care of and I loved the daily photos and updates I received! It is very apparent Olivia and her fiancé Jeff love animals and I felt very at ease while away for a long weekend. I definitely will be a returning client and recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!”


“After having crazy on-off-on again travel plans for a busy weekend, Kristal was very accommodating and welcoming. I appreciate her kindness and good care for my dog. As my dog gets older it nice to be able to feel like he is in a good place if he can't be home. Kristal made me feel this way and I truely appreciate it.”


“Lisa & her family (and their own dog) are absolutely amazing! They watched our dogs for 2 weeks and I could easily see how happy George & Angus were. I'm always worried about people watching our dogs as they can be a handful, but they seamlessly blended in to Lisa home and family like they'd always been there. The whole family are clearly very experienced with dogs as they taught our boys a few commands to make feedings, etc. easier and took everything else in stride. They have a nice big grassy back yard where the dogs could get play and get their energy out. I absolutely will not hesitate to reach out to Lisa again as I can't recommend her highly enough.”


“Chantel was amazing! she took excellent care of my little one and I felt so comfortable knowing she was in caring hands. I got daily videos, photos, and updates. My dog seem to be having so much fun. Chantel went above and beyond; would recommend to others.”


“Tania and her family took wonderful care of my dog while I was away! They sent great updates and pictures every day. My girl clearly had fun playing with their dog as well. Highly recommend Tania for your dog care needs.”


“Luanna was absolutely amazing for my dog. She took her on multiple walks each day and loved her as if she were her own. I received daily check-ins and updates as needed. This is the most tired she’s been coming home from boarding in a very long time. Thank you, Luanna!”
