“We are so happy we found Giannina! She took such good care of our baby. She sent us photos and updates while we were on vacation, which made us feel so much better, since this was the first time we've left our little one in someone else's care. We will definitely use her service in the future. Giannina comes highly recommended.”

“Have booked with Jordan plenty of times over the past few years, and it’s dawned on me that I’ve never taken the time to leave a review. From the responsiveness, to the level of communication, to the level of care she’s affords your fur babies, to the last minute accommodations, words can’t express how appreciative I am, and how comfortable I am leaving my fur babies in her care. Hands down, 5 star service”


“Catherine was amazing and gave me a peace of mind sitting Dilly! She is very warm and loving, and kept us informed the entire stay with plenty of pictures! Dilly was happy and energetic at pick up and felt at home with Catherine! We will definitely have Dilly stay with Catherine again!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Bernice as my dog sitter! She truly went above and beyond to ensure my baby Chase was well taken care of. Berniece gave my dog the freedom to explore the house and play with other dogs, which made me feel at ease. The regular photo updates she sent were a thoughtful touch, and it was clear that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend Bernice for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”


“Nancy and Mark were great! They were very warm and welcoming to my pupper, Azila. They sent photos throughout her stay and periodic check-ins to let me know that everything was going smoothly. Azlia had a blast! :) We will definitely be visiting Nancy and Mark again!”

“Barbara took such good care of my Baxter. He was totally exhausted when I brought him home. She kept me updated with photos and a video of him playing outside. She even let him sleep with her. He had so much fun he didn't want to come home. She had to help me pick him up and put him in the car. I highly recommended her.”


“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”

“Jesseeka was AMAZING! ❤️ This was our first time using Rover so we were unsure what to expect. Our boy Bryant had a great time playing and snuggling. She communicated regularly and sent pictures. He came home happy and with a cute new bandana. We will definitely book again!”

“Alisha was great with our 7 yr old coonhound, Beau!! Highly recommend. We had a situation where we needed to book an overnight boarding last minute and she was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our pup got along great with her and her pets. We could tell he was very comfortable there. She kept us updated throughout his visit, which is always greatly appreciated.

Serena was absolutely amazing watching our dog, Bella! From the moment we left for our trip, she kept us completely at ease by sending regular updates and pictures the entire time. It meant so much to know Bella was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were away. Serena went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would use her again anytime and highly recommend her to everyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!
