“We felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!”
“Laura was so wonderful! She made our family and our pup so comfortable and sent pictures and updates throughout our trip. We were so happy knowing that our dog got to be part of Laura’s family while we were away. We’d highly recommend Laura!”
“Thank you, Ariel! Georgia enjoyed her “vacation” in your beautiful fenced in yard. Thank you for your hospitality and great communication throughout! We really appreciated the daily pictures too. So glad we found you!”
“This was my German Shepherd, Evie's, 3rd stay, 1st overnighter, with Nadjeska. Evie had a great time playing with the other guest dogs, and Nadjeska sent us several photos to let us know she was doing great. No drama, no trauma, just a happy dog at the end of her stay.”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Forest this weekend. It means the world to us knowing he was safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Your kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us complete peace of mind, and we’re so grateful for the time and attention you gave him. We truly appreciate you and feel lucky to have someone we can trust with our furry family member. With heartfelt thanks, Dave and Ana”
“Jill and her husband Doug were great hosts for our young, active Border Collie. They went out of their way to meet our needs. I had mentioned that Louie liked to chase a Frisbee, and when we arrived Jill had added one to her big bucket of dog toys. I was happy about the big play yard, but while we were away I received some pictures from Jill of Louie and his pals running at the beach. What a great place to leave my pet!”
“Stephanie did an amazing job with my Otter while I was gone on my trip! She took him to a dog party and walked/hiked with him every day. I received tons of updates and pictures. If you are leaving town, leave your pup with Stephanie, she is awe-inspiring.”
“Laura went above and beyond to make sure our first time leaving our puppy went smoothly. From thorough communication before the booking, to updates during our vacation, it was such a relief to know that he was in good hands (and also having fun too)! If we travel again and need dog care, I will definitely be checking Laura's availability; I'm so glad I found her!”
“I can’t recommend Bruce enough! He took such amazing care of my babies while I was away. From the start, communication was smooth and professional—he sent photos, updates, and made me feel completely at ease. My pets absolutely adored him, and I could tell they were comfortable and well-loved the entire time. Their routines were followed perfectly, and I came back to happy, relaxed dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable, Bruce is the one. Truly the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!”
“Maria is AMAZING! This was our first time using rover and she made us and our dog feel super comfortable. She truly cares about the dogs she is taking care of and made the process of leaving our dog easy. She has the dogs on a routine and has a huge yard for them to play. Maria would also send pictures of our dog daily which was something I looked forward to. Overall very happy with my experience with Maria and will definitely use her services again!”
“Erica, Thomas, and their family were amazing to my sweet Kona! She’s a young GSP so she’s very active and high energy. She’s a great dog but not everyone can handle her energy level. They were great and immediately knew what to do with exercising and treating her like family. It helps that they have a big front lawn and had other dogs staying with them too! Kona made great friends judging from the pics. But most importantly, they went out of their way to be her dog handler for us on our wedding day. They made our special day even more magical by letting Kona participate in the ceremony as our dog of honor. She was tired for 2 full days after we picked her up! That’s a long time for a GSP. So grateful!”
“Thanks Mark & Kate!! Our Atlas was well taken care of, and with the updates and pictures, I felt worry free while on vacation. Glad to know our Atlas enjoyed running around in the back yard getting to know your dogs and playing catch, Thanks for taking time with our pup! Looking forward in booking with your family in the near future. The Hart's.”
“Mariana was so great with our pup! She was so responsive and updated us multiple times a day while we were away! Our pup was so well taken care of and had a blast playing with the other doggies! Thank you again Mariana for treating our pup like your own!”
“Honestly we could not be more pleased with Jill. She is a true dog lover and a wonderful person to deal with. We literally felt like we were leaving our Golden Retriever with a family member! I highly recommend her.”
“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

Holly hosted my dog for a sleepover on super short notice while we visited family. She provided many updates and several pictures of their walks. Holly even took her to several trails during the quick stay! There aren't many that will take on an opinionated or chatty husky for even a night but I'm thankful Holly was up for it! I'll definitely use her again next time we are in the area.
Holly was more than outstanding! Right from our initial text conversations I knew we'd have a great experience with her! The meet and great was wonderful and she was just so sweet with our dog, and so very understanding of our dog's needs. We were at ease right away. And our dog took to Holly and her home immediately...she just seemed very comfortable with Holly and in her home. By the end of of the meet and great we knew this would be a great match, and we felt confident leaving our dog with her. (We have an senior dog with some special needs who we adopted only 1.5 years ago, and we're always a little nervous leaving her hoping she doesn't think she's been left again for good.) Well, what a time she had at Holly's. We kept joking that our dog was having so much fun that she wasn't going to want to come back home with us! Holly's updates and photos while we were away were such a great comfort for us and showed us how at ease and well taken care of our sweet senior dog was at her house. We will most definitely use Holly again....and again!
