1. Jeff & Beth K.
“Jeff & Beth are fantastic sitters! They sent us tons of photos and updates on our puppy. Our puppy had such a fun time in their enormous backyard, and she is genuinely tired out now, which is really difficult to accomplish. We’re so grateful to have found Jeff and Beth and definitely recommend them!”
2. Pablo S.
“Pablo and Claire (sp) took very good care of Roxy for a week. Pablo sent great photo updates and asked questions to make sure that he’s taking the appropriate actions to keep Roxy happy and healthy. We joke that Roxy got a great vacation during her stay at Pablo’s, but that’s probably the truth. You can ‘t go wrong when you get Pablo & Claire to care for your dog (just don’t do it when we need to…).”
3. Danielle M.
“Danielle was very communicative and was very attentive to Zag. She sent lots of pics and vids, said she gave him a bath when he got dirty, and took him out for sunshine and playtime. He got along very well with her super sweet pup as well. Danielle also just seemed very sweet and good with dogs!”
4. Hanna T.
“Hanna is an incredible sitter - communicative, caring, supper attentive to a dog’s needs and a pleasure to deal with. We know our dog will be excited to come back and see her!”
5. Kelly L.
“Kelly is truly a rare gem. We were so lucky to find her on Rover. Having a puppy with true separation anxiety requires suspending absences. Knowing Kelly will never leave Nino alone is so comforting. She’s also great with regular updates and pictures which we appreciate so much. Thank you for taking such amazing care of Nino!”
6. Chad A.
“Our girls had a great time with Chad and his family. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies!”
7. Tiffany & Lauren B.
“Tiffany and Lauren have advanced skills is animal care. They watched my elderly dog, who had a number of health issues, for years. Trips out of town were made easier knowing our pup was visiting her favorite home away from home. My pup Addy would always spring out of the car when we pulled up so pumped to see her aunties. I highly recommend Tiffany and Lauren for pet watching.”
8. Lee J.
“I couldn’t be more grateful for Lee! She takes incredible care of my senior chihuahua, Nicco, and he absolutely adores her. Every time I pick him up, he’s so happy and content. Lee’s space is not only safe but also wonderfully pet-friendly, which gives me peace of mind knowing that Nicco is in the best hands. Thank you, Lee, for always going above and beyond!”
9. Omar F.
“Omar was very attentive and communicative! He took my dog on a bunch of cool walks and sent pictures to keep me in the loop. He was also very quick to respond whenever we communicated! Would definitely recommend!”
10. Karen M.
“We have a big rescue dog, Lupin, who is nervous around new people and leash reactive/frustrated because he wants to play with every dog he sees, and Karen was fantastic with him. It was very clear at our meet and greet at the park that she knew how to deal with such issues, and knew a lot about dogs and their behavoir. We did a one night trial run to get lupin used to them for longer boarding and they were very kind to him - we have already booked 2 more trips. At our meet and greet, her lovely pup was a marvelous calming influence on our 2 yr old.”
11. Kit Jon S.
“We really appreciated Kit as our dog sitter. She was much more thorough and concerned about all the care details for our little doggie which let us know that she really wanted to make sure he was in the best hands when we were away. When I arrived her own dog came out and greeted our dog in a very friendly, non-threatening way which made us realize he was going to be with a doggie friend, not just 'humans'! It seems Kit creates a safe, friendly, relaxed environment for any visiting dog. she also offered to go above and beyond with some extras. We recommend her highly.”
12. Samantha M.
“Samantha was great! She was easy to communicate with and gave updates about our pup. Our pup was in a good mood when we arrived to pick him up. I would hire Samantha again for boarding.”
13. Donald R.
“Desi ran into Donald's yard at drop off for his stay. You can tell he loves being there! Donald went above and beyond to wash Desi after he got into a mess with his weekly dog pack ! We all feel so safe leaving Desi in Donald's care.”
14. Cassandra L.
“cassandra was amazing at bonding with togi. it’s rare togi feels so comfortable and he felt right at home! she sent many updates on how he was doing and we felt very comfortable with togi staying there. we will definitely book cassie again for future trips! togi did have issues marking and cassie took the initiative to get a diaper (no peepee pad) and we were super impressed. she is a very responsible, kind, knowledgeable, and dog-oriented sitter.”
15. Robert & Brian D.
“Robert and Brian went above and beyond when they took care of my dog last weekend! They are reliable, experienced, caring, and I would highly recommend them. My 70lb dog, who can be quite shy around new people, quickly warmed up to them during the meet & greet, which is a testament to their patience and experience with shy dogs. They also took time to answer all my questions and show me around where the dog would stay/the yard during the meet and greet. Throughout the weekend I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Robert and Brian took my dog on long walks, spent time playing tug, and even designed enrichment activities like painting for my dog. My dog returned happy and healthy. I am grateful to Robert and Brian for their care and would board my dog with them again.”
16. Vanessa S.
“Always great leaving our Gemmy for a stay. She gets plenty of walks, playtime with fetch, and lots of attention. She always comes home ready to rest!!”
17. Mary C.
“Iggy did a trial stay with Mary and absolutely loved her. He can be a little shy and unsure but she and Murphy Brown made him feel very comfortable. She kept us informed about how he was doing and was wonderful! We’re looking forward to having her watch Iggy again for a longer stay.”
18. Sara B.
“Sara helped our pup during the July 4th holiday, and she was amazing in helping our dog get through it. He’s really sensitive to fireworks and she did everything and more to help him survive the weekend. She also administered his anxiety meds and followed our instructions (and asked for clarifications throughout) perfectly, which was super amazing of her!”
19. Ellie & Jurre R.
“I always feel at ease leaving my pup with this crew, because they treat him like family. they send a few images and offer updates about health/behavior as needed.”
20. Alexandra O.
“Alexandra was great with our kitty! She sent me pictures and videos the entire time we were away and I could tell the cat was happy and well cared for. It was a great relief during our long time away to know Tiger was in good hands. Communication was easy and prompt as well.”
