“We were going to be gone for 2 weeks and were so concerned about what to do with our senior dog while we were gone. Thank goodness we found Kathy! She and her husband are wonderful. Moose was in kind and competent hands so we were able to enjoy our long vacation. Kathy sent us updates and photos everyday. She made sure that our puppy felt comfortable and happy. He is on multiple medications, but since she is a nurse, this was no problem. We can not express what a comfort it is to know that we have someone to leave our dog with that cares about him as much as we do! We definitely will leave Moose with Kathy on our next trip away from home.”


“Lisa did a great job with my dog Charlotte. Charlotte enjoyed playing with Lisa's dog in their yard and interacting with Lisa and her family. If anything Charlotte's behavior was even better after staying with Lisa. Would definitely use her again”


“Linda and her family took wonderful care of our 2 dogs for several weeks. This was the 2nd time we booked with Linda and we appreciate her photo/video updates and the excellent care she gives our dogs, one who has some special needs. She goes above and beyond, even bathing them and grooming them so they were more comfortable in the hot weather. We highly recommend Linda - we know she loves our babies and they are in excellent hands with her!”



“We had Jennifer watch our dog child for almost a whole month while we were out of the country. She kept us updated, was very patient, and took fantastic care of our little mini Aussie. Can not say enough good things, would use her again”



“Carrie was terrific!! She obviously loves dogs and took very good care of our senior beagle mix. It was a pleasure to work with her as far as scheduling and communication. We plan to ask her again. Highly recommend!”


“Erin sat with my dog for a week. We felt very comfortable with Erin. From the outset she demonstrated a knowledgeable understanding of the care that dogs require and a real love for animals. We plan to use her in future. Mel Schuyler”



“Marley was a SUPERIOR sitter! She and her husband went above and beyond to keep me informed of Toby's adjustment and adventures with them. Frequent texts and photos reassured me that Toby was in great hands during my absence. Toby enjoyed their fenced yard as well as the freedom to roam in their lovely home. I highly recommend Marley B.!”


“Cherolyn is wonderful with Simba- she is so happy to spend time with him and I know he gets so much love and attention from the updates she provides. He also comes home tired which is a great sign that he has lots of playtime when he is there. He also squeals with delight and excitement during the car ride when he realizes he is going there. I couldn’t ask for more in a sitter!”



“Ray and his son took great care of our pups. This was their first time away from home. I got pictures of my boys everyday along with a little message letting me know they were doing well. I can’t thank him enough for his caring nature and love he has for dogs.”


“I cannot say enough great things about Francis! She watched my senior dog, Madi, for a week while I was on vacation. Just before I dropped her off, Madi had been scratching and developed an issue with her eye pressure and had to start eye drops. Francis welcomed her with open arms. A few days into her stay, Madi needed a follow-up vet visit, and Francis took her in and handled everything—including her meds and eye drops—with so much care and attention. Madi is also on heart meds and requires extra support, and Francis went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable and well looked after. She sent me daily updates and photos of her relaxing on the couch or exploring her big backyard, which gave me so much peace of mind. I knew Madi was in loving, capable hands. Francis is kind, thoughtful, and clearly has a huge heart for animals—she had a senior dog herself so she understands. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Madi stay with Francis again. You are amazing, I can’t thank you enough!”


“We could not have been happier with Marcela. This being the first time leaving our fur babies with someone other than family, our meet and greet with Marcela put our fears to rest. The videos we received, we could tell Landy and Hope were having so much fun, making new friends. definitely would recommend her to everyone. Thank you so much.”


“Lisa was a perfect match for our little Mia! We highly recommend Lisa to anyone that needs to leave their fur baby in the best of hands! This was the first time we have had to leave Mia with someone that we really didn’t know well as well as using the Rover app. After our very first meet and greet it honestly felt like a huge weight was lifted. I wasn’t as nervous about leaving her. Lisa sent regular updates and it was obvious when we came home to get Mia that she was well cared for and had enjoyed her. It was very obvious Mia had made herself at home. Thank you Lisa, we will definitely be calling on you again.”



“Russ and Marybeth are great! When Miss butt and I arrived for a meet and greet they really took the time to get to know her. They took very detailed notes about her normal schedule, her likes and dislikes, and personality. During her stay, I received daily photo texts and updates. Russ and Marybeth have a beautiful grassy backyard which Miss Butt really enjoyed. I will absolutely use their services again.”


“Svetlana took very good care of my Golden Retriever puppy. It’s was over the 4th of July weekend and she was very patient and gentle with Macy and experiencing the noise for the first time. I would highly recommend her.”



“Robin is great. It is the only place my dog goes willingly and isn’t running out the door to leave when we pick her up. So nice to have a trusted place when leaving our dog.”


“Thank you Jennifer for caring for Bailey. It was nice to get pictures and updates while we were gone. We’re very glad you and your family enjoyed having him in your home.”


“This was the second time we had our pup stay with Monica. She's hands down the best. Communication is spot on and she even made ringing in the new year fun for our puppy, Piper. She treats our dog like she would her own. Would highly recommend Monica for any sitting needs.”


“Claudia and family were wonderful. It was our fur baby’s first time being away from us overnight for days , and we were nervous on how he would take it. Claudia was so sweet and loving and we appreciated how she went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. The fully fenced outdoor area is awesome, we live on an apartment so his outside time is limited , so having the opportunity to play freely outside was so cute to see. Claudia makes sure to send videos and photos which made us happy and relaxed to know he was in great hands.”

“Connie, as expected, treated our dog Guinness with spectacular loving care. She really loves to watch your little baby and it shows when you drop them off or pick them up. Communication is excellent, and you can expect multiple pictures from her. Thanks Connie!!!! We can’t wait to have you watch Guinness again.”
