2. Thelma C.
“Thelma is a wonderful sitter. She is very knowledgeable about caring for your fur baby. We have had nothing but great experiences with her care for Asher. That has made my having to leave him in someone's care a more tolerable experience. I am so thankful for her.”

5. Melissa M.
“Melissa is amazing! She has a deep and true love for dogs; it’s like she speaks their language. She always communicates well with me, and she treats my fur babies like family. She is also a fabulous dog trainer and has given me tips on how to work with our two girls. I will continue to use her every time I need someone to care for my girls.”

“Clifford had a great stay! Lots of plays and cuddles. We'll definitely be bringing him back the next time he needs a sitter. Would recommend!”

8. Morgan P.
“Morgan is very sweet and attentive. My dog seemed to enjoy his 2 day stay. A few pics were sent as well as texts so I knew he was in great hands. She has a great backyard and her children also helped to entertain my pet. Definitely recommend Morgan if your dog thrives on being the only pet cared for and being surrounded by a loving family.”
9. Yohana & Mark R.
“I highly recommend Yohanna and Mark. They truly love dogs, and the pictures they sent realty showed my dog as a member of their family. I liked that they only watch one pet at a time, so i knew mine was well cared for.”

“Mila had a great stay! They gave her lots of loving and sent pictures through out her stay! Whenever we go out of town again I know Mila will be in good hands:)”

12. Carol C.
“Carol is such a thoughtful and sweet sitter. We wouldn’t dream of leaving our precious boy with any one else! She is the gold standard in pet sitting.”
13. Cindy & Steve W.
“Cindy and Steve were great about hosting our older puppy. He needs a close eye on him since he hasn't fully grasped certain commands to keep him safe (like "drop it" or "wait"), and I wasn't worried at all about his safety while he stayed at their home. From the pics it was clear he was getting lots of attention from everyone, and he really seemed to enjoy meeting their little girl, who's great with dogs. We appreciated the quick communication and updates, and are so glad our guy's first night away from home went as well as it did. I highly recommend considering this sweet family to care for your little pup!”
14. Kym H.
“This was Marcus’ first time staying multiple days and he had a BLAST! The best was being sent home with a report card and cookie! We will always coming back!”
15. Catalina C.
“Catalina was great! This is first time our dog, Jake, was boarded more than a day but he had no trouble getting comfortable with Catalina and her dog. She communicated with me everyday and was very accommodating. I definitely will book her again and will recommond her to friends.”
16. Melissa & Scott F.
“Gabby lights up when she sees Melissa and Scott. Her body language lets me know she is in good hands. I am grateful to have found them and wouldn't leave Gabby anywh÷re else.”
17. Dr. Hope R.
“Picked our bernadoodle up earlier today from her first visit/overnight stay with Hope and Scott. Video/photos and text exchanged. We couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Had a bad experience with a previous sitter who temporarily lost our dog. I know our Teddi is now safe and sound with Hope and Scotts care.”
18. Joan E.
“Joan has been an absolute angel for our sweet doggie. Jagger has some separation anxiety and nervousness around new people but he took to Joan immediately. Joan has been flexible, understanding, kind, and extremely helpful. The pictures she sends are not only helpful but so fun! She truly has a blast with him and that means the world to us. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone better. We are definitely returning customers!”
19. Brandy B.
“From the moment I met Brandy I knew Mia was going to be well taken care of and loved like she was her own. I have never felt so at ease leaving our fur baby. Sitter extraordinaire. Thank you for making our first Rover experience so stress free.”
20. Irina M.
“I had to go out of town for a few days and left my pup in Irina's hand. I met her ahead of time and felt very comfortable. Fiori seemed happy and safe via the pictures and I will be using her again in the future.”
