“My wife and I had a weekend trip planned and the person that was set to watch our dog had a last minute emergency. I sent a message to Elizabeth and Phillip and they responded within minutes. Our dog is 7 months old and it is only the second time we have left him. The first time was at a kennel and we really wanted a home environment for him. Elizabeth and Phillip provided great care. They sent daily pictures and updates. He must have had a great time because after picking him up he slept most of the day. We will definitely be calling them again the next time we need a sitter.”

“Ebony looked after Sir Loin after a last minute booking for his first time staying at a dog sitter. She was very professional throughout the entire process and provided updates during Sir Loins stay and made sure to address any concerns I had about his first time away from home. Sir loin came home very happy and relaxed and obviously had a good time! I definitely recommend Ebony if you want to have your dog staying at a happy caring family home and the peace of mind that your dog is in good hands!”

“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”

“I can't thank Missy enough for her help with the pups! They adore her and I'll be using her for the rest of my time here in Indiana. I've booked with her several times and highly recommend her. She was flexible with the drop off/pick up times, great with communication, and I can tell my pups love her and Willie <3”

“Amazing!!! They took such good care of my baby boy! Took him on walks and snuggled with him. Treated my pup like he was apart of their family! 10/10 they are awesome”

“We were first time Rover users and Beth was super accommodating and patient with our many questions. Her little dog Tupac got along well with our dog, helping with the transition. Beth does a great job of communicating. She sent daily updates and photos so that we could see how Josie was doing. Beth is very good. Highly recommend.”

“George and Erin were great with our puppy who is very energetic. Their yard is phenomenal, and their care was fantastic. We would definitely use them again.”

“Heather is amazing! We went on a two week vacation and knowing our little bubby was having a great time and being well taken care of made it so much easier and removed the guilt of not being able to take him with us. Thanks so much Heather!”
“Penny seem to settle right in with Elaine and Cal and the regular picture updates we received! Even when I arrived to pick her up, she barely wanted to stop playing and exploring!”

“Ryo was fantastic with our Beagle, Maple. He was incredibly patient and kind and made our dog feel right at home. We would love to work with him again in the future!”

“Valerie was absolutely amazing! She kept us updated on Champ’s daily activities with pictures and messages, which gave us a peace of mind. She is truly an angel on this earth. Champ absolutely loves her, and that says everything. I will always and I mean always book with Valerie. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Champ!”

“Lori was amazing with my senior dog! She took great care of him and showed him lots of love. She took the time to introduce him to her fur babies slowly so he could acclimate a bit. He had an accident on his last day and she gave him a bath and kept him calm and comfortable. Could not recommend her enough!”

“Very nice! The dogs seemed so happy with their visit. Kaitlin was so easy to work with. I would definitely recommend her, and will definitely book her again.”
“Madison, is a great dog sitter, she was very attentive to my dogs needs, when I picked him up he was very happy and in a good mood. Madison also provided me with daily updates and photos. She also checked in with me if it was okay to take my dog on a hike. He loved hanging out with her. She is a great choice for anyone looking to have their dog cared for.”

“Daphne was wonderful! She took Lola as a last minute booking and we couldn't be happier! We received daily picture updates. Lola was treated like a little princess with lots of love! 🩷 Highly recommend Daphne!”

“I felt so comfortable knowing that Megan was caring for my girls while we were on vacation! We even had some cute pics to enjoy showing that they were having a great time.”

“They were absolutely amazing with my dog, Charlie. From the moment we dropped him off, they were kind, patient, and super understanding. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they watch. Charlie was comfortable with them and that gave me a lot of peace of mind. They kept me updated and were very attentive to his needs. I’m really grateful for how well they treated him and I would 100% trust them again. Highly recommend!”

“Crystal was Absolutely Amazing with our Geddy Lee!!! We were nervous about leaving him because he is still a puppy but Crystal and her entire family treated Geddy like one of their own!!! Geddy was able to run around and play with her dog in their fenced in back yard as much as he wanted!!! We received several pictures and/or videos with comments daily!!! Crystal was very informative and answered any questions we may have had about how Geddy was doing anytime we asked!!! My Husband and I went on vacation but in our opinion so did Geddy!!! We would not hesitate to book with Crystal again in the future hoping that she will be able to watch him again!!!!”

Wow! Such a great experience with Jacqueline! My puppy Dewey loved his experience and I was so impressed with the great care that was provided! It is obvious that Jacqueline is truly a great dog person and the communication was top notch! Loved all the great pictures and feedback! Highly recommend!

Destiny treated my 2 dogs like her own - my nervous 12 year old ate every meal, got his medications, and had a great time. Besides just walking them, they got to go to our dog park. Her photo updates were prefect - I knew they were happy so I could enjoy my vacation.

I just relocated to the area and finding a new dog sitter was a pain point and a top priority after leaving an exceptional one behind. Found Emily through a neighborhood group and was instantly comforted by her kind approach, thoughtful questions and obvious love for animals. Just finished my dog's first visit and it was clear Emily earned his trust almost immediately. Regular updates and flexibility added to the experience. We are thrilled to have found a reliable and committed new sitter in Emily.

Anthony was great! Communicarion was good. He agreed to do a meet and greet before we decided. He was affecionate and engaged with Raven as soon as they met. Raven LOVES meeting new people, so this was great for her. She was with him from Thursday morning until Saturday afternoon. He sent pics starting soon after dropoff. He answered our questions about how she was doing quickly. We had recently had a Rover visit aith a different sitter where she either had a bad intestinal bug or a severe anxiety reaction. Nothing like that here. She was thrilled to see me when we got back, but is her normal self, not needing to recuperate! Will look forward to using Anthony again.

Leah was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and had such a calm, welcoming demeanor. Her home was very clean and well cared for, and it was clear how much thought and intention she puts into creating a safe, comfortable environment. You can really see how much she cares for the pets in her care. We would absolutely recommend her!

Jaclyn was great with our dog. She was very kind to him and he warmed up to her right away. I felt comfortable leaving him in her care. Jaclyn also sent me several updates during his stay which I loved because I could tell he was at ease. I would definitely recommend her.

It's difficult to leave your dogs for nearly two weeks, and with so many sitters to choose from it can be overwhelming trying to figure out the best person to leave them with. If that describes you, then look no farther. You will be hard pressed to find anyone who will love and care for your dogs more than William. Within minutes at our meet & greet, we knew that we wanted William to be our sitter. And our dogs and his dogs got along fabulously. We will definitely contact William the next time we need a sitter.
