Sheri was wonderful! She kept in touch with me every day with pictures and comments about my two mini French Poodles. This worrisome doggie mom greatly appreciated it.

I am thrilled to give Jeff a 5-star review for taking care of my furry baby, Happy! Jeff went above and beyond to ensure Happy's happiness and well-being. He sent regular updates, which put my mind at ease, and showed genuine care and compassion for my pet. I'm so grateful to have found Jeff and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Jeff, for giving Happy the love and attention he deserves!

I was able to enjoy a glorious long weekend because I knew my two dogs were happy and spoiled with Emily. Both my dogs (age 7 & 6) had NEVER been boarded or kenneled before, so I was nervous that they'd be anxious and upset, but they came home absolutely happy and contented after staying with her. She was kind enough to provide twice-daily feedback about their walks, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing, and that helped me relax and enjoy myself. My dogs sleep on the bed at home, and I chose Emily because she was going to be with them at night and because she has so many repeat customers; that tells me all I need to know! Emily is worth her weight in gold. Luka and Teddy had a safe and happy get-away of their own. Thanks so much, Emily!

We felt very comfortable and safe leaving our senior pug with Amy for the weekend! He is finicky but she was very accommodating and flexible.

Smokey stayed with her for 3 days and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated, took great care of Smokey, and made me feel really comfortable leaving her there. Smokey came back happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does and treats the dogs like her own. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!

Hilary and Wally are great. They are super easy to communicate with, and when our plans are not definite they work with us on pick up and drop off times. They have a fenced in back yard, and our dog loves it there. Hilary is also great about sending pictures during his stay.

I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. They were reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. Communication was consistent throughout, and I appreciated the updates and attention to detail. My dog came back happy, well cared for, and in great condition, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.

We had never left our 1 year old Golden before and we were worried about leaving her, but as soon as we dropped her off we had already received a message from Cheryl reassuring us. We did not worry a single day of our 10 day trip after that. We got pictures and/or videos each day. Sunny had the best time with Cheryl and her pup. She was very loved and well taken care of. She was not left alone and she made a new best friend. Thanks so much, Cheryl. We appreciate you more than you know.

Alex is the best! Our dog was well cared for, had access to Alex’s backyard, and socialized with other well behaved rover pups staying at her house! She came back looking loved and well cared for! Alex sent us so many photos and we loved having updates throughout our dogs stay! Would recommend Alex to anyone!

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.
