Kelly and Donovan are incredible. Some of the best dog sitters I have had. They go above and beyond, and take such good care of my dog. My dog has separation anxiety at times, but not with Kelly and Donovan! She runs in to greet them and doesn’t look back!

I left my 8 month old terrier mix pup Penny with Min and her family for 3 days and I couldn't be more happy with how well they treated her. Penny absolutely loved Min and her mother a got along great with Min's other two dogs. I will definitely be leaving Penny with them again if the need arises. Thank you Min for taking such great care of my Penny!

Ami is the greatest sitter we have ever had on Rover . Not only did she book us at the last moment her care for Stella was more than I could ever imagined. I knew Ami was kind and caring when Stella and I first met her and I am very cautious about using just any sitter. Ami kept us updated with photos and brushed her fur while sitting. Stella actually came back looking better than before I took her to Ami! She is the best and will always be my choice of sitters.

Diana was wonderful and took great care of her. I know in time she’ll be able to play with the other pups. If you have a small dog and in need of a sitter, I highly recommend Diana and her husband Jim. Your pup will never be bored there and will always have other pups to play with. Plus their whole backyard is dog paradise! We are so grateful we found her.

Daniela was highly recommended by a friend, and I’m so glad I reached out to her to take care of my dog. At the time, my dog was on medication, and Daniela made sure everything was given on time and exactly as instructed. She kept me updated regularly, sent photos, and was always quick to answer any questions I had. It was such a relief to know my dog was in such capable and caring hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better experiencé.
