7. Krystina-Marie J.
“Krystina-Marie did an excellent job house-sitting. She spent so much time with our dogs and made sure they were eating and getting walked. She communicated very well and left the house in excellent shape. I would hire her again.”
8. Nalini R.
“Nalini took care of our boys again, this time for 4 nights (house sit). She provided daily updates of the boys and follow all the directions as usual. We have a 10 year old bully mix and a 3 year old Shiba and they really like her, you can tell by the way they act around her that she really takes awesome care of them. 10/10 service. On top of the amazing care, she is a really nice person. We will book Nalini again in the future, no doubt.”
9. Stacy P.
“I can’t say enough about the incredible care Stacy has provided for my dog, Picasso, over the years. Stacy has been watching Picasso since he was just 3 months old, and now, at 10 years old, Picasso considers Stacy’s home his second home. The love and attention Stacy gives to Picasso is unmatched. From day one, Stacy made sure Picasso was comfortable and happy, and it's clear how much Picasso adores spending time there. Whether it’s playtime with the neighborhood dogs, trips to the park, or just lounging around, Stacy treats Picasso as if he were their own. What really stands out is the extra effort Stacy puts in to accommodate Picasso's unique needs. There have been times when Picasso needed medication while I was away, and Stacy handled everything with such care, making what could have been a stressful situation so much easier for me. Picasso also has a special diet, and I never have to worry because I know Stacy follows it perfectly. I’ve never left Picasso with anyone else, and that’s because I trust Stacy completely. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog with the same love and care you would, look no further. Stacy is truly amazing!”
10. Elizabeth F.
“Elizabeth was amazing with my 2 senior pups! She sent me lots of pictures and updates. It was nice to travel and know my dogs were in good hands while I was away.”
11. Leat P.
“AMAZING!! What I appreciate most about Leat is not just her obvious love for animals but her professional approach and trustworthiness. She is both conscientious and passionate when it comes to taking care of my fur babies. On my last trip, I received picture texts regularly to keep me updated and to let me know my dogs were happy and safe. She just made the entire process too easy, and I would absolutely use her services again. I have already recommended Leat to all of my friends and will continue to do so!”
12. Christina L.
“Thank you Christina for helping me out in a pinch! Amazing communication, updates including photos and reliability. Will definitely book in future”
13. Justin L.
“Justin was great. He took good care of our pups while we were gone. He sent many pictures and communicated very well. 5-star service. Highly recommend!”
14. Shelby O.
“Shelby was so amazing. I never thought I'd trust someone enough to keep my baby, but I found I didn't worry much at all when I was gone due to Shelby's updates, friendliness, and professionalism. Didi and I will be repeat customers! :-)”
15. Nicole U.
“Nicole is great - she has stayed at our home with our two dogs twice and they absolutely love her . I have used rover a few other times and had OK sitters - she truly is one of the best and I completely trust my babies with her !”
16. Bruna V.
“Bruna was great! She arrived on time and was wonderful with my Charlotte. She sent me several photos. Bruna followed all my directions for my picky pup. I would highly recommend her!”
