“Ashleigh took excellent care of our senior dog. Received daily photos and check-ins during our 9 day vacation. Would recommend to anyone needing a temporary home for their furry family members.”
“Our doggies had a great stay with Seth and Sumer. This was our first time using Rover and Seth and Sumer made it a great experience. I was glad not to have to leave my dogs at a kennel. They kept us updated with picture and about how the dogs were doing. They gave our dogs the care they needed, exercise, lots of fun and cuddles! Thank you so much!!”

“Mya kept us updated daily and sent us pics to show how well our dogs were doing. I appreciate the updates. It gives me peace of mind knowing that our dogs were taken care of. They enjoyed their stay, especially getting run around in the backyard. Mya was attentive and we would book with her again.”
“I went into Jacquelines house and just got the best vibe. I felt totally comfortable leaving my baby with her and her family! Which is such a huge relief because that always has not been the case with other places!! I was sent pictures of my boy having a great vacation while I was on mine! I would totally recommend!”
“Ms. Derrika and her family were awesome. I could tell my pup was well loved while I was away. I know he looks forward to spending time with her in the future!💓”
“Kristie was so great with my Zena. My dog is normally anxious around new people, but Zena warmed up to her quickly which tells me she has a golden soul. Kristie sent me updates with pictures throughout her stay which helped ease my own anxiety. I highly recommend :)”
“Danielle did an excellent job with our two very energetic, anxious dogs (one of them is a puppy!). She is highly experienced with caring for animals, including a lot of foster experience, and her dog Panda is lovely. I would absolutely recommend her for any pet care needs you may have and I will be seeking her services again in the future!”
“Cheyanne and her boys were amazing! We left our 7 year old golden doodle Chuck in their care. We were so nervous leaving him behind while we went on a Christmas roadtrip and Cruise, but knew it was necessary. Cheyenne sent videos and pictures while we traveled and even when we're not accessible. When we were able to use our phones again a video of them singing him Happy Birthday. My face lit up! If ever I need someone to look after Chuck I will go directly to Cheyanne. I highly recommend this family to take help care for your pets when you need to get away.”
“Erin was great! She was incredibly responsive and made me feel at ease while I was away. I loved getting daily updates and pictures. She clearly took great care of my pet and treated them like her own. I would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“Shannon is awesome. She took great care of my older goldendoodle, and he was able to use her doggie door which was a huge plus. She walked him every morning and sent regular updates. I hope to use her next time I’m out of town if she’s available.”
“Sharon and Mike are amazing sitters. We left Zoe (our very nervous Cockapoo) with them for a weekend while we were in town, so we would be close by in case she got herself too worked up. Sharon and Mike loved and cuddled her the whole time. When I arrived to pick her up, she was happy and calm! Thank you Sharon and Mike! We will be booking with you again!”
“Noreen and her family have worked so hard to make my beagle mix dog comfortable during his stays with them. She is very gentle and creative in getting my dog to feel at home. I have noticed how much calmer he is when we drop him off at her home. Thank you Noreen!”
“Amanda provided such a wonderful home away from home for our dog, Libby, that we were almost nervous she wouldn't want to come home! She was beyond amazing, both in taking care of the dog and us as we fretted over leaving Libby for such a long time. Amanda provided several updates a day along with pictures. We could not be happier with how she took care of our dog and will never look anywhere else for help. Libby made strong bonds that I'm certain are reciprocated so I know she'll be happy to go back when we need a dog sitter in the future. Amanda deserves 10 stars!!!! 🤩”
“Ciara was an absolute pleasure and my little one LOVED her! She a a true pet lover and it shows. My pet came back in better condition than when I dropped him off. I will definitely use her again!!! You should too!”
“Rachel was amazing! She was very communicative and was graciously flexible with my travel schedule. The dogs loved her and had an amazing time! Will definitely use her again in the future. No concerns whatsoever.”
