“Ming looked after my dog for 4 days while I was out of town. It’s always a bit unnerving leaving your loved ones with someone else and I’ve had mixed experiences using Rover, but this was a very positive experience. Ming has a nice house, fenced yard and works from home, so he was able to give my dog a good amount of attention. He was very good about checking in every day and sending photos and, overall, a very responsive communicator. I will most definitely use Ming the next time I need a sitter!”


“Christina took great care of my Archie while I was out of town for the weekend. Her prices are a great deal and she took care of my puppy like he was her own. I hate leaving my baby, but Christina sent lots of pictures and always responded quickly when I reached out. Will definitely be booking again!”


“Beckett made me feel so comfortable my first time dropping off my pup! She walked me through, let me see the space and answered all questions. Izzy loved her time and we will be using her again soon!”


“So happy to have left our pup with Tiffany and her family! He made himself at home and had a much better time than at a boarding kennel. Will absolutely rebook again!”



“Jena was absolutely fabulous. This was our first time leaving our puppy and I was a little nervous. He is a small dog with a lot of energy and not everyone is up to the challenge. From her updates and photos, I could tell Jena loves Frodo as much as we do and he was in great hands! She was super responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable too when we chatted about him at pickup. I’ll definitely use Jena again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”


“Lori was incredible from beginning to the end. She was flexible about drop off and about pick up. Unfortunately, I had gotten sick and she was accommodating about picking up Cookie a day later. She gave us regular updates and photos of Cookie during the day. Overall, I appreciate how well she took her care of Cookie during his stay and her flexibility.”


“Rizzo had a great visit with Adela. If your dog likes to play and enjoy an expansive fenced backyard, I encourage you to consider Adela. Communication was great and I appreciated her flexibility. Thank you!”


“Steve was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They had a great time with him at his home and enjoyed lots of walks, rubs, naps and exploring. Steve sent pictures to us a few times each day to show us how well they were doing. They came home happy and healthy. We'll absolutely be booking again.”


“Nova had great time staying with Isaac and his family for a long weekend. He and his daughter were wonderful caretakers of Nova! We received updates and pictures throughout the day, which is always nice! They were incredibly accommodating with our changing schedule. They spoiled her with treats and walks. We will definitely be reaching out again next time we need someone!”


“Michaela was great for our new addition to our family over Christmas while we went out of town. She was very patient with Lexi and gave our family some great tips and ideas for training Lexi as she is only 9 months old and our first dog. We recommend letting she help you like she helped us.”


“We left Thor with them for a week while we went on our family vacation, great people and took really good care of him while we were gone. Sent updates and photos of how he was doing and Thor settled in really quickly with them. Very clean and comfortable boarding for your pet. I highly recommend using them, I know we will when we take our next vacation. Thanks again DL and Libby for treating him like he was one of yours!”


“Nathan watched our Basenji for the first time for 3 nights while we were on vacation. She got along with his two dogs as they roamed about his fenced in backyard and cuddled inside. He sent pictures and was flexible when our flight home was delayed. Bonus was that he lives less than 10 min from our house.”


“I recently entrusted Maxwell with caring for my dog, Mattie & Daisy, and I was incredibly pleased with their reliability, trustworthiness, and the evident care he provided. Maxwell consistently went above and beyond, ensuring Mattie & Daisy were well-fed, exercised, and happy during their stay. He was punctual, communicative, and always willing to address any questions or concerns I had. I highly recommend Maxwell to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring dog care provider.”


“Pip had a wonderful time at Emily’s home with her and her Fiancés dog Frankie! Emily was flexible with scheduling pickup and drop off times and sent plenty of fun photos! Pip will be visiting again!”


“Robert is great! Excellent communication and quick responses. Kept in contact during the visit and sent updates with pictures. Gladly adjusted the drop off and pick up dates/times to make the visit more convenient for all of us. Highly recommend Robert and will absolutely reach out again!”

“She was so great with our shih-tzu! Our dog has a bit of anxiety when not with me (honestly, I do too!) but Anne was so patient and willing to work with her to make her comfortable. Highly recommend!”
