1. Liz & Kristopher G.
“You will NOT find better care for your fur babies! Liz and her husband took EXCELLENT care of my one year old, high Energy, diabetic pup! My pup is HIGH maintenance… they fed Cocoa like she was at a restaurant, gave her insulin shots 2x a day, let her play all day with their dogs, walks, Cocoa slept on their bed and couch. I think my dog misses them already! I got tons of photos (even a photo shoot with Santa) and tons of updates and videos. I can’t give a better review. Liz is like hitting the jackpot. See you next time ❤️ and THANK YOU.”
2. Megan W.
“Megan was absolutely fantastic with our puppy Nova, we had to go out of town unexpectedly shortly after getting her. Megan made us feel like we left Nova with a family member, the whole time we received photo and video updates of our pup and was happy to answer questions and communication was fantastic as well. She made sure all of Nova’s puppy needs were met and had plenty of play time. I would highly recommend Megan to anyone!”
3. Sarah E.
“When my first reservation backed out 1 hour before my drop off time, Sarah was quick to respond and agree to watch Moxie for me. She was a lifesaver! She took my dog an hour later and my dog immediately made her self at home. Moxie was very happy when I picked her up and Sarah took great care of her. I'm so thankful for helping me out at the last minute. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
4. Kelly K.
“This is the second stay Charlie had with Kelly. I was so thrilled she was able to accommodate our dates as she was so fantastic in February during his last stay. Her daily communication and photos was above par and so appreciated. I highly recommend Kelly!! Thank you again!!!”
5. Carolyn G.
“We had a wonderful experience with Carolyn. She took our pup last minute and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable leaving her. Lots of pictures and communication throughout our time away.”
6. Michele Z.
“Michele was wonderful! I highly recommend. She treated my Koda just like I do! It gave me great piece of mind so I could enjoy my day with my niece. I am grateful. Sheri”
7. Christine H.
“Christine did a great job with our dog. He is a shy and skittish boy and I appreciated her patience with all of his eccentricities! I would definitely use her service again.”
8. Arlene M.
“Arlene and her family were wonderful to Jackson! We got daily pictures and updates. We picked him up, and he was enjoying a “good by” walk and lovingly scratches. Was not sure he wanted to come home with us! Thank you Arlene, we will definitely be calling upon you again!”
9. Alesia K.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life, so I have a big experience with animals. I currently have my own sweet cat. I will take care of your puppies with love! I work from home and set my own schedule. Weekdays, weekends and holidays are ok for me. If you need to go to vacation, I can stay with you dog or cat. I live in big house and have a huge backyard and beautiful quiet neighbourhood for walks, so the pups get at least 3 walks per day.
10. June C.
“June C. Did a wonderful job caring for our dog. She sent photos and updates daily and our Fred was well taken care of. He was happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to ask June to watch him again in the future.”
11. Boris C.
“Bailey absolutely loved her stay. She came home relaxed, happy, and at peace. We were also provided with plenty of pictures and videos which made our night a relief! 10/10!”
12. Derek G.
“Thankful to Derek and family for another stay. At drop off, Duncan was happy to go right inside with Ellie, which made it easier to leave him for an extended time. Really appreciate the reninders in advance, and check ins with pictures during our time away. Thank you!!”
13. Judith B.
“We hired Judith to watch my 12 year old dog in her home. My dog seemed to really enjoy her stay and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Judith provided twice a day updates which I really enjoyed! She verified with me before I left that twice a day updates would be appropriate which I appreciated too. I would definitely recommend Judith! You can really tell she genuinely cares about dogs. :)”
14. Meghan M.
“Meghan was a wonderful pet caregiver for my large breed dog. He has a lot of energy and she was able to keep up with his need for attention. She kept me updated as to what they were doing. She was able to take him for a walk even though he is extremely strong. We will definitely to continue to use her for our pet sitting needs”
15. Michelle H.
“Michelle and Robert are amazing. We are always worried about leaving our girl with someone as she is definitely treated like a family member/little person in our home! It was obvious from our first meeting that they are dog lovers and treat all dogs like they are part of their family! Michelle and Robert definitely met our expectations and beyond and the daily photo updates confirmed this. What a sense of relief knowing she was happy and loved while we were away. She came home after a week happy and as if she was never away! We are fortunate to have found them, and I’m hopeful this review doesn’t amount to making them so popular we won’t be able to book our sweet girl with them again! ? Thank you!”
16. Liz T.
“This is our first time to use Rover, so I was so worried, but everything was great! Liz is very experienced, and my dog loved the stay and did not leave her house.”
17. Michelle V.
“Michelle took AWESOME care of my dogs. At the meet and greet we discussed concerns I had about my dogs staying in a strange place and Michelle was so good with them none of the concerns I had up front were a problem. She patiently worked through separation anxiety problems, behaviors I can't see when I'm around, until she found a solution, and updated me on everything. Now I know more about how my dogs act when I'm not around and my dogs have learned how to handle some new situations. They had a blast spending days in the yard or snuggling up to watch movies. And my little one learned than some kids love to play fetch as much as she does.”
18. JoAnne F.
“I loved leaving my Yogi at JoAnne’s. She was very welcoming, anxious to make sure I was comfortable with her house and her puppy and she had a calm friendly manner. Yogi ran right in, met her dog and started playing, JoAnne sent me several very cute pictures of Yogi playing and resting, so I could see that he was having a good time. I would hire her again if she is available.”
19. Emily A.
“Emily is a great pet caregiver. She communicates well and sends cute photos of our dog when she watches him. She’s responsible and trustworthy, plus our dog absolutely adores her. Peace of mind when we can’t be home with him.”
20. Michael P.
“Michael took great care of Kiki again! This was the third time we have left Kiki with Michael in the last few months and every time he has done an excellent job keeping and caring for her. We always receive lots of photos of Kiki from him, which is great for our peace of mind. We will definitely be boarding Kiki with Michael again.”
