“I have never felt so comfortable with leaving my dog with anyone! We went on a five day getaway and Jessica&Carol took care of my dog, Teddy, like he was one of their own! 1000% would use them again. ?”

“Amber was great with our dog. She sent pictures and updates. Knowing she was the only dog at the house made us feel comfortable since we aren’t sure how she’d get along with a strange dog. Thank You Amber for a great experience all around.”

“We are so pleased with the care our Baxter received while we were out of town for the weekend. They sent me several terrific pictures to show me that he was doing well. I forgot to pack something and they instantly offered a solution that worked. Also, we booked it at the last minute because of a cancelation and they were available to set up the visit quickly. They met and exceeded all my expectations.”

“Maggie loved staying with Lisa. She came back home clearly happy and well. Got daily reports and pictures. She was very professional and kind. Definitely will take Maggie back when needed.”

“Natalie was awesome with our puppy. She kept me informed and sent pictures/videos throughout his stay. I will definitely be booking her again. Thanks Natalie!!”

“I'm SO happy that I found Arlissa. She is incredibly professional and really knows dogs. I was really worried about my pup because he is a rescue with a lot of anxiety, but she knew exactly how to take care of and approach him so that he felt safe and comfortable. She cares for other dogs as well, which was amazing because Chiron was able to have fun and play with the others all weekend. Arlissa also gave me continuous updates up on how he was doing, generously accommodated my super early/late pickup and dropoff times (which was a HUGE help to meet my travel schedule), and took AMAZING photos of my dog that I proudly showed off to my friends :) I will definitely book her again when out of town! Highly recommend!”

“Thomas was wonderful with Emma! She felt very comfortable with him, and he made sure she got lots of play time and pets. I really appreciated the pictures and updates he provided, too. Emma will be excited to stay with him again!”

“Sierra watched our puppy that decided he wasn't going to like his crate. He destroyed a bed and started chewing the crate. She reached out and expressed her concerns for his safety and found the perfect solution for him!”

“Carmen was great with Buddy! She sent me updates and it was obvious how comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend! She will be the first I call whenever I need a sitter again!”

“My dog must have had a great time at Bryson's house because when he got home, he slept the rest of the night. That's a huge WIN in my book. We're so happy to have found a playmate that could keep up with my dog's high puppy energy! Bryson was very prompt with responses and photo updates while we were out of town for 2 nights. Will definitely book another stay when we go out of town. Thank you Bryson and family!”

“The BEST pet sitter in the area! I’ve used several sitters and interviewed several more - without a doubt, her family treated my girl as one of their own! I had picks sent during her stay, and constant communication that shows she loves what she does ❤️. I even got a progress report and jump drive of videos and picks of her stay. My go to from now on! Thank you and I will be using you again, and again, and again 😍😊”

“Kayla was wonderful, even with me as a last minute, first time rover booker. We are so grateful to have had her watch our precious Milo. She sent update pictures. Was super communicative. Clearly loved on him tons- as he was extra demanding and not appreciative of us working vs playing when we got home lol Will 100% use Kayla again!”

“Heavyn was wonderful!! We had to board our pup for a long stretch for our wedding and honeymoon; during that time, she was super responsive and sent lots of pics of our little guy. It was such a relief to know he was well taken care of during such a hectic time!”

“Casey was such a great sitter! I felt comfortable the whole weekend because she sent pictures and videos the entire time I was gone. She was professional and communicated well.”

“Tammy was wonderful! This is our first time leaving our dogs with anyone other than family! We had a meet and greet with Tammy prior to our trip! Mila and Sasha seemed happy and had friends to play with. Tammy was more than accommodating with our care requests and sent us pics and updates during our time away! Thanks again!”


“Rio was very well taken care of! She stayed with Greg and his family for over a week and got to play so much!! Greg sent lots of updates and we had no issues with drop off or pick up. Definitely recommend!”

“Dulce loves staying with Aubrey! Aubrey is always caring and responsive. I highly recommend her and her awesome skill with my dog and all the other new dog friends Dulce has made while under Aubrey's careful and loving watch ?”
