“Maureen was an incredible dog sitter who treated our 2 dogs like family from the moment they met. Communication was excellent, with prompt updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. Maureen is reliable, caring, and truly passionate about animals, we highly recommend to anyone.”

The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for four days and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there giving the best of care to Milo. There is a thorough interview before she takes the job and everything is covered to insure the best quality care will be given to your pets. I would definitely consider leaving my pet again with her if we go away on vacation .”

“Whitney and family are kind, communicative, and very accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving Baily with them and appreciated that Whitney sent us updates and photos throughout Baily's 2-week stay! Considering we booked this stay only days before leaving on our trip (after another Rover sitter cancelled last minute!), we felt extremely lucky that Baily ended up here, where he was loved and well-looked after in our absence! I highly recommend Whitney & Michael.”

At the meet and greet before we left Laraine asked lots of questions and took notes about Plum’s schedule, needs and likes which made us feel comfortable that she’d be well taken care of. Laraine sent regular updates and Plum seemed to be having a blast in the pictures we got. Plum had so much fun she’s basically been sleeping since she got home :)”

“Bonnie took amazing care of our yorkie Spike for 4nights. She and her husband scheduled a meet and greet where they had an initial interaction with Spike and talked to us about his needs/routine. Due to pancreas’s issues he is on a strict diet and likes to drink a lot of water. Bonnie accommodated this without issue, adjusted to Spikes routine, and gave him frequent potty breaks. She sent us pictures and videos multiple times a day, which I loved 🥰. We could tell he was comfortable by the images and when we returned to pick him up, could see that he was well taken care of and happy. Will definitely rebook again- Thank you Bonnie and family for taking such great care of Spike!!”

“My 4 dogs had the best time with Dhruvit and his family over the long weekend. Our dogs have never been away from us so finding a great dog lover/sitter was not easy. When I saw all the reviews for Dhruvit I knew I found a match for Spencer, Nathan, Winston and Cooper. Dhruvit sent pictures everyday and that just made our time away more enjoyable as we didn’t have to worry. We will definitely use Dhruvit in the future. It’s all about fur babies and if they are happy then we are happy. Thank You again.”

“All the rave reviews are true: Ginnette was terrific! We never left our two dogs with anyone before, so we were nervous to leave them for a week— only until we met Ginnette for a meet’n’greet and our two dogs loved her. She was very communicative throughout the process and easy to work with. She also sent photos and videos each day, which kept us from wondering and worrying. We will definitely call upon her again (with fingers crossed that she’s available). Thanks again, Ginette! ❤️”

Shreena took amazing care of Omy again! This time Omy stayed with her for an entire month, and everything was perfect. She treated him like her own, kept him happy and comfortable, and gave regular updates. At the end, she even gave him a bath which was such a nice touch — he came back super clean and fresh. Overall, we were very happy and will definitely book with her again!

Lineth was so kind and a great interim doggie parent. I felt completely safe with my 12-year-old at her home, knowing that she would be cared for as if she were her own. I got pictures and updates that made me feel less guilty about leaving her, as we went on our trip. Thanks, Lineth! Karmella says, see you soon!
