“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!”
“Ronald was a fantastic dog sitter! He had a meet & greet with us beforehand to see how our dog would get along with the other dogs to make sure she was comfortable. His communication was excellent too! He sent pictures with updates throughout the whole stay. I highly recommend him.”
“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!”
“My dog came home, ate, pooped, passed out!! I have never seen her this thoroughly satisfied with a sitter. Her truest test is if she eats. She ate every night and played all day. Martin is a magician 🤣”
“Linda was the absolute best! A loving, gentle, and thoughtful person from beginning to end. She was very caring and attentive to my dog, and I could tell my dog mutually enjoyed spending time with Linda. I would recommend her to anyone looking to board their dog; they’ll be in good hands. Thank you Linda!”
“Amazing! Wonderful care, attentive to my pet, lots of photos and texts. I will use Angela again due to the kindness shown to my pet and responsiveness to my requests. Deserves more than 5 stars!”

“April usually has pretty bad anxiety her first night out of the house and because of the loving environment they created for her, she was eating day 1! So grateful for Ben opening his house to us last minute and we will definitely be back!”
“Abby and family took such great care of izzy while we were gone for 10 days. They treated her as if she were their own sweet pup! We got multiple pictures every day of family outings and walks. Communication was phenomenal and their love for dogs is so evident in their care. They will be our go to family in the future and I wouldn't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone who needs dog sitting. Thank you so very much Abby and family!”
“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.”
“Callie had a great time with Charles and his daughter over the Thanksgiving holiday (6 nights). Charles sent cute pictures and updated me on their adventures. I will be using his services again and highly recommend!”
“Diana is amazing! I appreciated her communication and thoughtful after visit notes. She helped put my worries at ease. My pup is not used to being around other dogs and she has separation anxiety. 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.”
“Savanah is the GOAT!!! There is no other way of saying it. My dog Nacho is a high energy TJ rescue and without missing a beat my dog took to Savanah. He loved her right away and felt safe around her. Savanah sent updates and was in communication always. Nacho was so so happy and tired which is such a tall order for a runner! Thank you Savanah! Nacho misses you already”
