Susan did an amazing job of spoiling my pup and making my time away from her easy. Will ask her to sit again! A trustworthy sitter for your fur baby.

Her place is perfectly dog friendly and she will spoil your dog with comfort!!! Just do it! You will not be disappointed! First time ever leaving our Gypsy and after meeting Cindy we were not a bit concerned ….she communicates extremely well via text and pictures! Gypsy will be back to stay with Miss Cindy!!!! 🦮🐾🦴🐶

Lindsey and Jose took amazing care of my fur baby! I ended up dropping her off with an upset stomach after dealing with it for a few days and Lindsey had no problem at all with it and was so kind and caring about it! If you need to leave your senior dog(s) with someone you can trust Lindsey is the woman! She is very flexible and provides daily updates! My doggo looked like she had a very fun time sunbathing in the fenced yard and napping on the couch with them. She even had her own little spot in her daughter’s bedroom! I highly recommend Lindsey and would gladly use her as my sitter again in the future!

Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands. Communication was stellar: I got updates and multiple photos every day, and it was awesome to hear of his adventures while I was out of town. I recommend Kendra to anyone looking for a thoughtful, caring pet sitter and I for sure be back as a returning client.

If you’re even thinking about booking Katerina—stop thinking and just do it. She’s not a 10/10… she’s a 1,000,000. From the moment we connected, her communication was on another level. Constant updates, photos, and videos—you never have to wonder how your dog is doing. You *see* it in real time, and it’s obvious your pet is not just being watched… they’re being genuinely cared for. Her home is spotless—truly next-level clean. Non-smoking environment, calm energy, and everything feels safe and intentional. That matters more than people admit. This isn’t a chaotic drop-off situation—it’s structured, peaceful, and professional. She also has a young child who absolutely loves animals, which adds a really special dynamic. It’s not forced interaction—it’s natural, warm, and your dog feels it. Mine came back not just happy, but super happy. And the backyard? Huge, fully fenced, and perfect for dogs to run, explore, and actually burn energy—not just pace around. What separates Katerina from everyone else is simple: she treats your dog like it’s her own, and she backs that up with constant visibility and care. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again—and frankly, once you use her, everyone else will feel like a downgrade.

Andrea is absolutely incredible! From the moment we connected, I knew my dogs were in the best hands. She is attentive, caring, and truly treats them like her own. It’s not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, but Andrea goes above and beyond in every way. What really stands out is how happy and relaxed my dogs are when I return that says everything. She keeps me updated, gives them so much love and attention, and clearly understands their needs and personalities. If you’re looking for a reliable, compassionate, and genuinely amazing dog sitter, Andrea is the one. I can’t recommend her highly enough she’s a true gem!

My chihuahua and I haven't been a part in forever. When my family and I went on a one week trip, I knew I had to find the perfect dog sitter. My dog is picky and I was worried, but she was immediately comfortable at crystals house. She is so kind and attentive, and became best friends with my chihuahua. She was comfortable around everyone in the household and very well taken care of. Will certainly be using her services in the future and am beyond thankful for her and her family. Thank you SO much

Mary was phenomenal to say the least. This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. She was so kind to share her home with our dog. She showed him constant love and attention and sent regular updates to me. She even sent him home with some extra toys! Selfishly I wish I could keep her on retainer if I could. Lol but I will absolutely rebook for my next trip! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter!

Sweet Ashley and her husband took great care of my 5 yr old Rat Terrier, Petey! They have a lovely home with a big grassy back yard not too far from us. And they have an 8 yo Daschund named Tank, who is very loveable and makes friends easily. They went on walks, played fetch, and he even slept in their bed! I don’t think Petey missed us one bit. He’s going back there next time we go out of town!

Finding Rosangela was the biggest blessing in the world! We immediately felt so comfortable leaving our senior chihuahua with her. We had a wedding in Europe and were gone for two weeks. She sent photos/videos and took the absolute best care of him. We will most definitely be using her in the future!
