Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵

Taylor was great! She made her home super comfy for our two dogs; one of which tends to be very anxious. Taylor put her at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pups were being well loved.

Briah did a great job with my dog. She took him on many walks, showered him with love and kept me updated with pictures and messages. My dog looked happy and well taken care of when I picked him up, and now every time we walk by Briah’s place he wants to go in. It was also very easy to communicate with Briah, I certainly would recommend her to anyone and I am going to book her again.

Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!

Stephanie took great care of my two dogs while I was traveling for 10 days. I received lots of updates & photos, which I appreciated. It took away any anxiety I had at being away for that long. Stephanie gave Yoshi her required daily medication and lots of belly rubs. Both Itsy & Yoshi seemed to enjoy their stay. Both slept most the evening once back home. I will definitely book Stephanie again in the future. She was great!

Sara took great care of our pup, Carlton over Memorial Weekend! This was his first visit with her and will definitely not be his last. She has plenty of dog toys, all we had to do was bring his favorites. Her back yard is a sniffing heaven. Carlton came home totally calm and happy, so we know that he had plenty of love and attention. Sara kept us updated on their weekend and sent photos/videos. We feel very fortunate to have found such a great sitter/dog lover in Sara.

Chrissy was great; similar age, size, and demeanor pets in the home, drop off and pick up was easy, unsolicited updates, and kind of let my dog take her spot in the house where she felt most comfortable. Beside being fed and watered, you really can’t ask for anything more.

Naji kept my little Rusty for 3 weeks. I was so worried how my 12 lb. Chihuahua would do with her 2 bog dogs. I shouldn't have worried, because her dogs completely accepted him and were so gentle with Rusty. She sent cute pics and videos daily which I was so grateful for. This was my first time I left my boy since I rescued him 2 years ago. Rusty has a few fear problems as a result of his history, but Naji worked so well with him and I truly believe he thoroughly enjoyed every minute during his stay. I would highly recommend Naji and will definitely be using her as my primary pet sitter in the future. Now that I know how much Rusty enjoys company, I will also use her for day care once in a while.

We can’t recommend Trent and Kalyn enough! They have been our go-to sitters every time we travel, and we trust them completely with our dogs. They provide such loving care and attention, keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Our dogs always come home happy and relaxed, which is a testament to how comfortable they feel with them. It’s such a relief to know our pets are in safe and caring hands while we’re away. If you’re looking for reliable, thoughtful, and friendly sitters, Trent and Kalyn are the absolute best!

Regan was delightful! Picked my dog up right at our hotel. Kept us informed. Was flexible when we didn't know exactly when the last event would let out. Sent photos and updates on our pup and she was happy, clean, and in good spirits upon her return. Would love to use him again if we return to Kansas City.

Katelynn was awesome! She was incredibly attentive to details in my dogs’ profiles and I was pleasantly surprised when she just started rattling off information about the meds they take and their different needs I had written out. My dogs were clearly happy and well cared for when I picked them up and we have already rebooked with her for next week!

Our dog, Chloe, had the best time with Emily! She made sure Chloe felt comfortable and loved right away. She also made sure she was well entertained during her stay - taking her to the dog park and playing with her toys. Emily was great with Chloe’s routine and medication. She sent me plenty of updates and gave me tons of peace of mind during our trip! I’d 100% recommend booking Emily as your Rover!
