“Holly and family were amazing. They boarded our two dogs for 12 days without any issues. Holly sent updates and photos every day and our dogs loved staying with her. We hope to do business with Holly every time we need a sitter!”

“Becky took care of Silky very well and took him for walks and updated regularly regarding how he was doing. She also picked him up and dropped him off which was very convenient especially with the bad weather with snow at the time.”
“Our dogs have stayed at Melanie’s three times recently. One of our dog’s is a rescue and very scared everyone. They are both very well taken care of and look comfortable at Melanie’s. We won’t send our dogs to anyone else. Thank you!”

“Evan was great with Bonnie. She was well cared for! He responds very quickly to messages and sends photos throughout the stay. We appreciated that Evan was flexible with us when we made it home early and let us pick up Bonnie very late. He even offered to drive her to us.”

“Great communication and love for our Cleo! It was our first time leaving her with someone other than family. She stayed days and we received several pictures and text communications each day which really helped with our nerves. Can't reccomend this home for someone else's pup enough😊”
“Tam and her partner were exactly who you'd want to leave your fur baby with, and in my case, totally saved the day with a last minute booking. They were friendly, extremely responsive and from the pictures, my picky chihuahua had a great time. Would def book again!”
“Jordana was amazing with our girls! While we were away we had peace of mind that the dogs were getting walked, played with and loved on. We got pictures throughout our whole trip of the fun time they were having! I’m happy to have a reliable go to person for them to go to going forward.”
“Absolutely amazing! Our favorite Rover Sitter yet! My husband and I had conflicting work schedules and Tanya was available to accommodate and watch out dog for us. Some days she had other dogs which out dog loved and other days where she didn't have other dogs she still made sure our high energy dog was able to go on walks and had a way to take out the energy. Her children took amazing care of our pup as well! Loved the family effort that came from the household!”
“Jessica did an excellent job with little B and he came home happy and healthy. He can’t settle down without his dog bed, so we were glad we could leave it with him. We also brought his food and water bowl. Jessica was professional, competent, and caring. Five star rating, for sure! We will definitely use her again.”
“Candace did a great job taking care of our Sadie while we were away on a trip. Great communication, shared multiple photos. Will not hesitate to book with Candace again in the future.”
“Happy doggos! Loved that house was clean and organized and kids played with the dogs. They got plenty of snuggles and great fenced in back yard. Thank you!”
“Sarah was so wonderful and caring to our dog. She always made time for walks and spending extra time for our dog to feel comfortable in her home. I would highly recommend her!”
“Erin and Chris are amazing!! They were super responsive. Genuinely listened to all of my dog mom concerns and were gracious and accommodating!! I got lots of pictures with updates and reassurance that everything was going well!! I will absolutely rebook with them when I have future needs!!”
