“Roselie and Kevin are AMAZING! They boarded my Maggie with no notice.. texted and sent pictures on how she was..and when I texted them they respnded immediately. Maggie has separation anxiety from me... and she was happy and content with all the lovings and attention she received. Whenever I’m back in this area... I will be bringing her back to them! ❤️❤️”
“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”
“Brendan and Sarah were wonderful. They boarded Gracie with little notice, sent lots of photos, and Gracie had such a good time she didn’t want to leave.”
“I’m a returning customer because Jeffany and her husband always go above and beyond for my pup. They treat my dog like family, keep me updated with the sweetest photos, and I always feel completely at ease knowing he’s in their care. It’s such a comfort to have sitters who are reliable, loving, and genuinely passionate about animals. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring pet sitters!”
“Simply amazing, she treated my dog like her very own, great backyard with fence for dogs to run and play. She took my dog for many walks, we received frequent picture updates. Overall, highly recommend Karin and her husband”
“We are so happy we found Sarah and Tobi. Our little Nicolás was so happy with them and quickly adjusted to his stay. Sarah was extremely helpful, understanding and responsible. She treated our baby as if it was hers. Highly recommended! We will book another stay with her for sure! Thank you Sarah!! The Ocasio Wagner Family.”
“Summer was awesome! She sent pictures, responded quickly and cared for my pup with lots of love. I plan to refer her to friends/family and I will be booking again in the future.”
“Marla was so good to my Holly girl. We both felt comfortable with her and I really appreciated the daily photos and updates of Holly. Will definitely book with Marla again.”
“Shannon and Robert were absolutely wonderful! Their family is so kind, and their children were great with Henry. He settled in right away and honestly didn’t seem like he wanted to leave when we picked him up. They kept him active all day, so he came home happy and completely worn out (in the best way!). We’d absolutely trust them with Henry again and look forward to booking with them in the future.”
“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”
“I recently booked Kate on Rover.com to watch my dog, Herbie, and she was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, Herbie felt right at home with her. Kate clearly has a natural way with dogs, providing so much love and attention that Herbie didn’t even want to come home with me at the end of his stay! Kate kept me updated with plenty of messages and photos, so I always felt reassured that Herbie was happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pup like their own, but Kate truly goes above and beyond. I wholeheartedly give her 5 out of 5 stars and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated”

Carla and her family are incredible! I was in Cleveland for work and unexpectedly needed a dog sitter She was super helpful and understanding. She took my dog for walks every day, even though she barks at every cat or dog she sees when she’s on walks She sent me videos and updates without me having to even ask. I’ve never had a dog sitter before so I was kind of nervous about texting everyday because I didn’t want to be annoying, she willingly sent me updates and even offered to allow me to come visit when I miss her. I definitely recommend! Five stars
Olesja was great to work with and gave us peace of mind during our trip out of the country. She even recorded a little video of her singing happy birthday to our dog - it was nice to know that although his family couldn’t physically be there, he was still being loved on and celebrated! ☺️
They did a wonderful job watching our girl Mouse. She had recently been spayed and they took time and care to make sure she didn’t have any issues while we were traveling for work. We will absolutely use their boarding services again. They sent daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated. 10/10
First time boarding with Malik for a longer stay (5 days/4 nights instead of an overnight) and it went really well. I received some updates while I was gone and I returned to my pack (2 dogs and a cat) in good health and good spirits. Malik does an excellent job caring for my animals and has secured me as a returning customer!
