“Christina did such a great job with my Vizsla! She exercised him multiple times every day, sent regular updates and photos, and generally took great care of him. I'd definitely recommend and will reach out the next time I need someone!”


2. Ming W.

“These guys really came through when I was in a bind. We had last minute plans pop up that weren’t pet friendly and they responded that they were able to watch our puppies very quickly and sent daily updates on how they were doing while they were caring for them. When we returned to pick up the babies they were happy and as excited as ever.”


3. Adela H.

“Adela was great! She set pictures and gave us updates on Bella daily! She met with us in advance and had Bella meet her two dogs! Bella had a great time! We will definitely book with Adela again!”


4. Josh N.

“This being our first time with Rover - and Josh- and being somewhat late in the planning stage, I was of course a bit nervous, but Josh put us at ease right away. He first offered a Meet-n-Greet where we got to visit him at his home, get to know him a bit, and talk about expectations and our senior dog’s needs. He was flexible with the drop off and pick up scheduling and followed up during our trip with daily text updates and pictures to keep us “in the know”. We joked with our family that our pup wouldn’t want to come home with us because she was being loved on so well. 😊 Being a bit of a high anxiety dog, she often will shed a lot when nervous, but when she arrived home it was obvious to me that she had had a good experience. She was not only bright-eyed and tail wagging, but her coat was shiny and smooth – she was happy and feeling good. As any pet lover would agree, it does a momma’s heart good to know that there is someone out there who will care for your fur-baby with the same, if not better intent than your own. We believe Josh treated our dog with the utmost care, and would definitely reach out to him again if we need a safe place for our pet. ~Thanks Josh!!”


5. Robert S.

“Robert was available short notice to watch Lily. He sent me pictures and updates of Lily throughout her stay, and even took her to the dog park numerous times! He went above and beyond to make sure Lily felt comfortable and well-cared for. I will definitely book with Robert again!”


6. Chrissy D.

“Chrissy did awesome with Java and gave him plenty of other dogs to play with in the comfort of a home. This is the first time having someone other than family watch him and he was so comfortable from the moment he was dropped off.”


7. DL & Libby R.


“Absolutely fantastic people and dog sitters. This was our first experience leaving our babies in the hands of non family. It was worth every penny. The peace of mind and fantastic care they provided is unmatched. We will 1,000% be using DL and Libby for all vacations and long weekends that they are available. Thank you guys!”


8. Ashleigh S.


“Ashleigh’s level of care was amazing. She sent so many pictures while we were away and kept us informed often on how our dogs’ days were going. The way she described each of our dogs’ personalities and daily habits matched perfectly to how they are at home which reassured me that our dogs felt comfortable and at ease in her home. Will absolutely be using Ashleigh again without hesitation.”


9. Katrina S.

“Katrina was fantastic, she took care of my cats and i have 0 complaints!”


10. Edward A.

“Edward is absolutely fantastic! I changed the meeting time a few times, and he was always helpful in adjusting it. They are very responsible with dogs, and my dog really likes them.”


11. Trish C.

“Trish was amazing with Murphy, our 11 month old Lab. We had never left him with anyone other than doggy daycare and she made sure we had all our questions answered before and during his Monday-Friday stay! She gave us lots of updates, pics and videos and were pretty sure he would have stayed there forever!! We will be using her every time she lets us :)”


12. Chelsea M.

“Our dog was well loved with. Chelsea and family! Thank you for taking her at such a late moment! We will definitely bring Sadie back to be watched by them. Thank you!!”


13. Nicole N.

“Excellent care and attentive! Nicole very much loves pets and provided such good care for our cat in her lovely home while we were gone all week. We loved getting updates and photos! Stinger felt right at home there!”


14. LileAuna P.
“LileAuna has the biggest heart ❤️ she is the most caring as she took care of our Bruno. She showed him love as if he was her own. LileAuna would get on the floor and play with him and when Bruno got old and needed more help LileAuna would help him down the ramp to go potty. LileAuna is the best”


15. Mallory K.

“Mallory did an awesome job with our Vinny! She was super attentive and gave us great updates while we were out of town for the weekend. Would absolutey recommend her to anyone and hopefully will be calling on her again!”
