Matt is phenomenal and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! From the moment we dropped our dog off, it was clear how thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely caring he is. His home is welcoming and clearly set up with dogs in mind, and we felt completely at ease leaving our dog there overnight. We received great updates, and it was obvious our dog was comfortable, well cared for, and having a great time. When we picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had been treated like one of the family. It’s such a relief to have a sitter we trust completely - this is exactly what you hope to find. We will absolutely be booking again and can’t recommend Matt highly enough!

My girl tends to be very nervous and scared around new people and environments and she has never been left with anyone before so of course I was worried with how everything would go. Cyndi made my dog feel so at ease and sent me so many updates my girl was right at home within an hour. I was so happy! Bailey will be back soon!

Echo loved all of the members (2 and 4 footed) of the family! Even though they had a lot going on, Jennifer let me know how things were going and was so sweet and considerate of his special food and supplements and his separation anxiety. I am so grateful that I found ya'll and that you are nearby. Thank you so much!

Amy and her family are amazing people. They took care of my beloved dog extremely well, and her ear infection improved as a testament of their dedication to caregiving. They sent me cute photos and messages that made my time away from my dog more bearable. I am very grateful.

Pamela and Paul are legit ‘dog people’. They got to know Ollie pretty quickly and confidently helped him ease into a friendship with Marlowe and another client. I received the usual photos of Ollie with a ball or snuggling humans, but was surprised to also receive photos of Ollie playing and snuggling with the other dogs, which was a whole new experience for him! I’m happy to know he was so well taken care of during his time with Pamela, Paul and Marlowe and will reach out again for future boarding!

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Raye to care for my dog Terra, Terra, and I must say, it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I met Raye, I could tell that she was the right person for Terra. Raye ensure I received daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing that she was in good hands. It was clear that Raye went above and beyond to make Terra feel comfortable and happy. Whether it was taking her on walks or playing with her in the backyard, Raye always made sure that Terra was well taken care of. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with the care that Raye provided for Terra. she is truly a wonderful dog caretaker and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and loving pet sitter. Thank you Raye for taking such great care of Terra!

I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.

Aaren and Jordan are absolutely amazing, phenomenal pet sitters! From the moment I left Arya in their care, I knew she was in loving and patient hands. They treated her like family, and that meant everything to me while I was away. Their communication was top-tier—they kept me updated consistently with messages and check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, they were incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Arya truly found her second home with them, and there’s no doubt they are now her permanent sitters. I appreciate them more than words can express and can’t thank them enough for the love and care they showed my big girl. 💕🐾

I have used Daved a few times now to watch my dog Nova, and I am once again very happy with the experience! Daved is communicative, offers updates and photos, is diligent about care instructions, and seems to genuinely care about all the dogs he’s entrusted to look after. He’s got a great fenced in backyard, and I can easily tell that Nova thoroughly enjoys the time she spends in his care.

Nancy was absolutely wonderful! She and her husband took care of my Maddie as if she was family. I received constant communication and prompt responses when checking in during my trip and coordinating drop off/pickup. Nancy was even kind enough to take Maddie a day early when inclement weather caused travel plans to shift. She also notified me right away when she noticed Maddie was scratching more than normal and was quick to offer suggestions to help her feel more comfy. As an anxious dog mama, I felt at ease knowing she was being so well cared for.
