“We were definitely happy with our dog’s stay with Veronique and her family. We got lots of pictures and videos while we were away, and she was very responsive if we had any questions.”



“Kirby had the best time with Denis and Marina he cried all the way home. They sent many pictures of the great time he was having out for walks playing fetch and lounging around with some playmates. I would absolutely use their service again they really cared about my dogs well being thank you”


“Chris watched my dog who has separation anxiety for a couple days. I was so nervous (for all of them) to leave my anxious guy with someone he didn't know especially during a thunderstorm, etc... but everyone made it though and I'm grateful he had another dog he could play with, etc... Thanks Chris and Co.”



“We have used June several times now. Our dog, Ginger, is getting on in age, so it is important to us to have someone like June who takes extra care with her. She is wonderful with Ginger and we are glad we found her!”



“Dan and Denise are experienced, truly gifted, awesome dog sitters! This was our first time leaving our 18 month old extremely active German Shorthaired Pointer with a sitter. We could not be happier with the care she was given, or more pleased with the professionalism of the entire experience. We received constant updates, photos, and videos of our Hannah at various times of the day which alleviated the many concerns we had about leaving such an energetic pup for the first time. We will definitely return, and recommend to our family and friends. Thank you so much, Dan and Denise Pat, Trina, & Miss Hannah Lundy”


“Second time stay with Kamilah family, we love the fact they only take one dog at a time. 7 days without us, Luna came home happy and healthy, we will return for the third stay soon, thank you for taking good care of Luna, Luna ate well at Kamilah’s home, she looks great and we are happy.”


“Leanora and her family are amazing! We had a little meet and greet with their boxer pups and our Labrador puppy, and from that moment I knew our boy was in good hands. Sometimes finding a sitter who is able to handle large breed dogs can be difficult, but Leanora was patient, kind, and playful with our pup. While we were away she sent ample pictures- she will give your dog a glow up photo shoot 😂 when we left bobo loved a bone, and she insisted we take it home. These are all things she didn’t need to do, but went above and beyond to make sure our boy was happy, which made us very grateful. We will always think of her first when we need a reliable sitter!”


“Trinity is wonderful! She was very accommodating when I had several changes in pickup/drop off time requests. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout. I ended up bringing Jordy back for a second visit, and she was so excited to be back that she RAN to Trinity. I definitely recommend Trinity!!”


“Iris w/her husband took care of my two pups Mia & Milo the last 5 days. They took such great care of them. Milo still a puppy at 13 months & Mia a 10.5. They handled them both with such care. With special instructions for Mia’s medicine to my hyper playful puppy seeking attention often. Iris sent pictures & videos showing me how happy & content they were! They’ll be back with Iris in just a few short days again! I’m so happy that I feel 💯 at ease knowing they’re in great hands!! Highly recommend Iris taking care of your fur babies too.”


“Annabelle was wonderful with my dogs. From my very enthusiastic frenchie to my sweet senior lab, she provided a calm environment that both my dogs appreciated. Thank you for making me feel like my dogs are being well cared for when I’m away.”



“Paula was amazing with my goldendoodle Bailey. She was very accommodating, as she watched my fur baby on Christmas Eve and sent me periodic updates and pictures. I felt at ease and comfortable with my choice to use Paula, as this was my first time using Rover. I recommend Paula to care for your fur baby an I’d absolutely use her again!”


“Justin was awesome! He cared for our 2 year old dog over Thanksgiving. Justin was very friendly and professional and sent daily updates and pictures. It looked like Beau was having a great time and was well snuggled! We will definitely be using Justin again.”


“From the moment we met Anna, we knew she was a good fit! She made booking the meet and greet, drop off and pick up super easy. Scout liked Anna’s sweet disposition and I liked that she kept us updated! Scout came home happy and healthy. We would highly recommend Anna to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”


“Pam did an outstanding job looking after Maggie, our beagle! Pam's real affection for dogs was obvious from the start and her attention to Maggie's well being was top shelf. We really appreciated the pictures and videos showing Maggie to be very comfortable in her environment and well cared for. If Maggie could speak, I am sure she would howl her approval of Pam!”


“Jamie was great! We left our 9 month old puppy with her for 10 days and she took really good care of him. She sent us lots of updates and pictures so we knew he was doing ok. Our puppy also got along great with her dog. Overall very happy with the care she provided. We will definitely book her again.”


“Erica is incredibly attentive, responsible, and caring. I could tell that my furry friends were in good hands right from the start. She went above and beyond to ensure my dogs comfort and happiness throughout their stay. We have use Erica many times and will continue to use her services. We highly recommend her.”
