“Kent was an amazing sitter. He is very communicative, and showed great care for our pup. He is calm and patient, and has a wonderful demeanor. It is no wonder he formed a great bond with her. We would very much recommend him to anyone. Thank you Kent!”
“Valentina was absolutely amazing with Choco while I was away! She took such great care of him, he was well fed, happy, and clearly comfortable the entire time. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and her communication was always quick and thoughtful. What I really appreciated was her kindness and flexibility, she was more than willing to help with a few additional requests without hesitation. It’s clear she truly loves and understands dogs. Choco came back relaxed, healthy, and cheerful. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, highly recommend Valentina to anyone who wants peace of mind while away!”
“Took great care of Clifford. Super flexible and accomdating with my schedule for dropoff and pickup. Sent pictures and Clifford came home tired from playing so much with his new friends”
“This was Saga‘s second visit with Tom and Kelly. Once again, the experience was wonderful. They provided daily updates and lots of pictures. I recommend them highly and plan to use them again when I travel.”
“This was the first time using Rover and Kasia was great. Our puppy came home happy and content. Kasia was quick with responses and also kept us updated while we were away so we felt comfortable that Aurora was in good hands. We will definitely leave Aurora with Kasia going forward! Thank you for all your love and care Kasia ♥️”
“Celeste did an amazing job of watching my husky and provided great care overall. She followed any special instructions and sent multiple updates each day and was always available for communication. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for boarding.”
“"We are so happy we found Sana to watch Yogi while we were away for six days over spring break! It is always a bit nerve-wracking leaving a pet for nearly a week, but we were able to relax knowing he was in such great hands. Sana was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. We received regular updates, which we really appreciated. Yogi came home happy, healthy, and well-rested. We would recommend Sana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
“Booked a stay with Bonnie kind of last minute as another sitter suddenly moved out of the area. I could not have been happier with my experience. Not only did she accommodate the last minute request, but was very communicative throughout the stay and felt like Bailey was in great hands. She sent daily pictures and responded very quickly to every message. Would recommend to anyone looking for a responsible/ caring dog sitter and would love for her to watch my pup in the future”
“From the moment I met Kelly, I sensed her genuine love for animals. Her welcoming environment assures not just my cat, but any pet, would feel right at home. Kelly’s passion for pet care is evident in her actions and the happiness of those she looks after. I’d recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking top-notch care for their pets!”
“We boarded our two small dogs with Kim for a week and she was the perfect choice. One of our dogs is quite timid but Kim was able to coax her to socialize. Kim realty understands dogs, their moods and temperament.”
“Dave was great! He really seemed to truly enjoy having our puppy Mac. He sent updates a few times a day, showing Mac out on walks and playing outside. I would highly recommend Dave to any one who wants to know their baby will be well cared for!”
“Wendy and Bill are the best! They have taken care of my dog several times. She suffers from anxiety and they make her feel comfortable and safe in their home.”
“Pebbles really enjoyed her stay with Sarah! Sarah was great at communicating and kept us updated with pics while we were away. Highly recommend and will be using Sarah again for our pup!”
“Simba had a great time with Allis Im sure he will miss being over there. Allis is a great sitter, sends videos and pictures throughout stay and you can tell she truly cares about your pet as if her own. Definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in future.”
“Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.”
“My dog made himself right at home with Eliza! They got on really well and I had loads of pictures during his stay. He was very happy and healthy when I saw him again, and he enjoyed himself tremendously. I’m very happy to recommend Eliza as someone who is very enthusiastic about dogs, has a great place, takes really good care of them (let my dog out several times a day!). She was great and I hope we can visit her again sometime! (Tucker thinks so too...)”
“Phoebe liked Will the second she met him. She pulled toward him and had no problem when he took over the lead. This is all I needed to feel comfortable leaving her with Will. It was a 10 day stay and Will was absolutely amazing. I am super thankful for Will and definitely recommend him.”
“Robert looked after my dog Loki really well. He sent daily updates with photos and videos to keep us informed. Loki had fun during his stay. I’ll definitely be using his services for future needs.”
“I am an anxious pet parent and feel confident leaving my two high maintenance hounds in Kimberly’s care. We could clearly tell that the dogs were loved on while we were gone, and Kimberly goes out of her way to make them feel comfortable. Would rebook in the future for sure!”
“My girls loved their stay with D'Artagnan. Our American bully gets super anxious and new environments and he and his girlfriend were perfect at helping her feel calm and relaxed. Nike was also a great playmate for both of them! We will definitely book with them again!”

In addition to being knowledgeable about dogs, Kent is both kind and accommodating. We don’t leave our dog very often and were a bit nervous as to how he would do. Ken was patient with our middle aged pooch, followed our instructions and even sent a few pictures to reassure us he was ok. I hope he is available the next time we need a dog sitter. Worth every penny! Thanks Kent!!
Great first stay for Bingo. Robert was very willing to work with Bingo to make her feel part of the pack. The daily updates showed how she was enjoying her stay and making new friends. We know Bingo will be happy and well cared for when staying with Robert, Percy and Teddy.
Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.
With very short notice, Ed was able to accommodate our request for dog care for Maisie, our Golden Retriever. We were on an 11 day cruise and throughout our trip received pictures and updates on how Maisie was doing. She is a 1 year old golden with high energy and can be a handful. Not only did Ed improve her behavior on walks, but also worked on getting her to stop jumping on everyone she meets. It was wonderful to see her play with his dog and his children. Needless to say we wondered if she would want to come home with us because of all the attention she received. We highly recommend Ed and the wonderul care that he and his family provided for our Maisie.
Lizbeth was a wonderful caretaker for my dog, Honey, while I was away for 3 weeks. I had a picture every day, and could see that my dog was happy and well cared for. She is very experienced with dogs and has a wonderful backyard where my dog could run freely and safely. I had complete peace of mind. I would recommend her highly.
Arielle is wonderful! We felt lucky to find her available after our regular Rover go to was unavailable for our recent trip. Our precious pup, Beignet, had the best time and received amazing care under her, and her husband's, careful watch! Their genuine love for dogs is apparent and shines through crystal clear. Arielle also provided the best pics, and even video, to allow us the best insight into how our fur boy was doing each day! We are grateful for the service provided.
Ashley was incredible! She sent an update with pictures every evening so we knew what they were up to and gave peace of mind while missing our girl. She was so attentive to Winnie - Let us know when her ear seemed to bother her and was down to clean her ears and offered to go purchase solution if needed. She checked with us prior to be sure Winnie could have a piece of Thanksgiving turkey and even got her a special toy during her own errand run which she still carries around. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Would recommend to anyone!
