“Caroline and her mom Marilyn provided a comfortable and caring home-away-from-home for my sweet Leo. I was comforted and entertained by all the great photos Caroline took and forwarded while we were away, and it was evident that Leo was getting a lot of cuddling and ‘lap time,’ which was the main reason I chose to go with a pet sitter rather than a boarding kennel. Leo was so calm and content when we picked him up...I knew he had had a great time! Highly recommend! Thank you:)”
“This was the most peaceful and joyful experience leaving our fur baby for so long. Charlayda made it so pleasant for us sending us pictures and videos every day updating us with Daisy. I will definitely used her services again and she’s very recommended. Our Daisy had so much fun.”
“Wendy is super sweet. I could tell my cat was having a pleasant time while with her. She’s very flexible and honest. I will definitely use her services again! We have found the perfect sitter ☺️”
“Joseph & Reanaleena we’re perfect! They were very professional and attentive. Giving me updates & pictures daily. My dog is more difficult than most and requires special attention and they handled it perfectly! I highly recommend! 5⭐️”
“Patty, was more than wonderful with our Sashi. We went away for a week and left Sashi with Patty. We were a little nervous because we never done it before but we did the right decision with Patty. She kept us updated with text and video and we can see how happy Sashi was. Patty treat her as she was hers. Patty is amazing, I will recommend Patty to anyone who want there baby to be treat like they were at home. Sashi will be continue visit Patty??❤️”
“Theo had a good time staying with our Rover for the long weekend. They spent a lot of time with him and he seemed to transition well. We got pictures ever day which helped us out too! Highly recommend and will definitely use them again.”
“Kaitland provided excellent care for our dog while we were out of town. He had a great time and seemed to really enjoy the environment at her house. Kaitland kept us up to date with pictures everyday. Great experience!!”
“Kristall took amazing care of my Bella! I received pictures and daily updates. She was quick to respond and Bella left happy and she was well loved. Thank you for your amazing care of Bella. We are so grateful for you!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Dog Sitter Ever! I cannot say enough good things about Laura. When I first got my Ziggy, I was extremely nervous about leaving him with anyone. The very first time I met Laura, all of that worry disappeared—I instantly knew he was in the best hands. She made me feel completely at ease, and that peace of mind is priceless. Now, after several visits, I can confidently say I will never use another sitter. Ziggy absolutely adores her—he literally jumps out of the car with excitement when we arrive! That reaction alone says everything about the love and care she gives. Laura goes above and beyond every single time. She keeps me updated, sends the sweetest pictures, and treats Ziggy as if he were her own. I’ve even rearranged my plans before because I only trust her with my pup—that’s how amazing she is. Thank you, Laura, for always taking such incredible care of Ziggy. You’re more than a sitter—you’re family now. I am a lifelong customer, and I recommend you at the very highest level possible. Simply put, Laura is the best.”
“Marilyn was amazing! So calm and patient, and she sent sweet pictures and messages about our girl. Bonus for us is she's less than 5 minutes away!”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitting experience! My pets were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for while I was away. Communication was excellent with regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Reliable, professional, and genuinely caring — I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet care. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Tannia and Chris were absolutely awesome! They exceeded the goal in making sure Zion felt right at home. It truly comforted me and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing he was well cared for!🤗💕THANK YOU!”
“Mary was phenomenal to say the least. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. She was so kind to share her home with our dog. She showed him constant love and attention and sent regular updates to me. She even sent him home with some extra toys! Selfishly I wish I could keep her on retainer if I could. Lol but I will absolutely rebook for my next trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!”
“She was able to take my dog on short notice and took great care of him. She responded quickly to messages and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. Thank you!!”
“Chrissy took fantastic care of our dog while we were away for the weekend. She sent updates and photos, and had excellent communication. 10/10 would return and recommend!”
“The single best person! I trust her with my boys always. If it weren’t for the fact that we were moving states, I would never see a reason not to use Sammy as a dog watcher for our boys. We call it Camp Coy since her dog Coy is our boys’ best friend! I am heartbroken to leave. She has watched both of our large labs numerous times and she is an irreplaceable person.”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew are the best! They sent regular updates and pictures of our Lucy. As much as we miss her when we’re away we at least didn’t have to worry about her at all. We could tell that she was well loved and made herself right at home 😊”
“Yekaterina was an amazing sitter! This was my first time boarding my 10-month-old kitten, and also the longest I have been away from my kitten since getting her. Yekaterina was so sweet in reassuring me my kitten would be well taken care of and genuinely felt better after dropping her off. She has a beautiful and clean home. She sent LOTS of photos, she gets it! She even sent me videos, which made me feel so much better about how my cat was feeling. I would trust her again with my fur baby.”

Rachelle is awesome. She sent us pictures and my dogs looked comfortable staying with her. When we picked them up, they both looked happy and looked familiar with Rachelle so I think they were comfortable staying with her and liked her. They didn't forget letting Rachelle know they appreciated her by going back to her and let her pet them one more time before we left.
Hannah was absolutely incredible caring for our dog, Rogan, for nearly four weeks. Rogan was treated like part of the family, and it was clear he felt right at home. She sent multiple pictures almost every day. What really stood out was how thoughtful and caring Hannah is—when it was raining and outdoor play was limited, she even went out and bought Rogan a toy to keep him entertained. That is above and beyond! We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we’re so grateful. We would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet.
Another amazing stay with Sherrie and her family :) my baby loves staying with her and I love that I don’t have to worry about him! You can truly tell she loves animals and treats her guests like they are her own! 🥰🩷 if you are looking for the right sitter, book here!!!!
We can't say enough good things about Brent and David. This was the first time our two, 8 1/2 year old Boxers have been away from us for 8 days. We had left them a day or two with our daughter in the past and through that experience, we discovered they don't eat for a day or two over separation anxiety and basically mope. Not the case here! These pups didn't miss a beat! Healthy appetite every day, plenty of exercise with walks and outdoor playtime, sofa lounging, treats, love, pets, full - hands-on attention and just happy. Our guilt and worry disappeared pretty rapidly after seeing the daily photos and video we received. We could not have dreamed or asked for better care of our fur babies. We can now take trips without concern and will always use Brent and David! Our dogs were loved. Highly recommend, A+, Five Star #happyfurbabies #BrentandDavid #Rover
Michael did an amazing job boarding my dog for the week. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was well cared for, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone needing reliable and caring pet boarding!
Sweet Ashley and her husband took great care of my 5 yr old Rat Terrier, Petey! They have a lovely home with a big grassy back yard not too far from us. And they have an 8 yo Daschund named Tank, who is very loveable and makes friends easily. They went on walks, played fetch, and he even slept in their bed! I don’t think Petey missed us one bit. He’s going back there next time we go out of town!
