“Our pups had an amazing time and they were cared for as if we were caring for them ourselves! Can’t say enough great things. Will definitely bring them back in the future!”

“Ally was really great with my dog Miller. She was very open with her communication and sent a lot of updates and pictures over the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in the area. And will definitely let her watch my dog again in the future”

“Amazing and very understanding family. They took care of Maxim very well and he likes playing well with his new friends. It seems our baby had a great time and we got all timely updates! Would definitely recommend this family for sure and we would definitely look forward to come back to Robbie for future. Thanks again!”

“Lisa and her husband were amazing. My Bijoux had such a wonderful time with them. Lisa sent the cutest pictures of Bijoux during her stay and I enjoyed the updates that really gave me such an enormous peace of mind that my pup was not only in great hands, but she was having a fun vacation of her own! I can’t recommend Lisa enough and without a doubt I will be having Bijoux stay over again! I’m sure Bijoux will be over the moon getting to see Lisa, her husband, and their dog Mac again, who she loved playing with too!”

“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with my sweet Terry. From the very first day, he kept in constant communication, sharing updates that truly put my heart at ease. It was clear that Terry was not just cared for, but genuinely loved and treated like family during the 9 days she stayed with him. I’m so grateful to have found Kevin through Rover, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust him with Terry again. Highly, highly recommended!”

“They were so kind and loving with our small dog. Great communication and sent pics regularly. Would take our dog there again and highly recommend.”

“Casandra watched our boys for a whole week, and she did a fantastic job! She sent us tons of updates with pictures & videos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that she cared for our two pups like they were her own, and she clearly gave them lots of love. They had a great time! I highly recommend Casandra, and we will definitely be using her in the future!”

“The whole process from the meet and greet to pickup time was great. Aly is friendly and very dog knowledgeable. She has a wonderful secure and fenced in yard for dogs to play in. We got a daily update at the end of the day along with a picture. Shadow was a very happy dog when we picked him up.”

“Meagan was fantastic. She clearly adores dogs and made Dottie feel right at home for the weekend. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos. I appreciated her great attitude and care.”

“Shaelea is great to work with. She has watched my dog twice now. She is very friendly and a great communicator. She accepted my fairly last-minute request, which was so helpful. I highly recommend her to others.”

“Milli had a great weekend with Erin & Chris! They spoiled her while she was there! She also was very relaxed even after she returned home! I would definitely recommend them and appreciate that they limit the number of dogs at one time! Thanks Erin & Chris!”


“Cory was very responsive and had great communication before and during Moose’s stay! When we picked up Moose after his stay he was happy and tired. He even got to meet new friends! Cory was easy going and handled my high energy dog well!”

“Dog (Buddy) had a great time there playing with all the other dogs, got many pictures/videos! Rachael was very flexible with the schedule, including allowing me to pick up my pet ~1 hour later than expected. Great sitter if your dog loves to play and burn off energy with other dogs.”
“Andrea was one of a kind sitter. She took great care of our fuzzball, so well that we could enjoy our vacation without worries. She responded quickly to all our messages and sent us pictures. She went above and beyond to accomodate our delayed flight. So very sorry, Andrea. Will definitely book again when we are in the area. Highly recommend Andrea!”

“Kylie and her family were phenomenal! My pup felt right at home with her 2 other dogs - who are the sweetest and well behaved. Kylie was so great and sent photos daily to show how happy and just how much she was being loved on!! Would recommend her to all for anyone needing a loving stay-cation for their dog🙂”

“Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!”
