Stan and Barbara took such great care of our dog for the week. They shared daily updates and pictures which we really enjoyed. We will definitely contact them again when we need a dog sitter. Happy to have found them using Rover!

Stan and Barbara were wonderful! Our dog felt comfortable right away and we could see how happy he was in all the pictures they sent us. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Cooper with them again. We are very grateful we found them.

Stan and Barbara are wonderful! They looked after our Aussie Shepherd, Benji, for 5 days over the Thanksgiving holiday and 2 weeks over Christmas. They not only take great care of Benji but treats him as their own. We get daily photos and texts on Benji from his walks to him resting on their laps. Stan and Barbara are new to Rover as they have only started dog sitting after losing their beloved dog but they are clearly dog lovers who will take great care of your pup. I highly recommend them!

I can’t say enough good things about Barbara and Stan! They took great care of my Vizsla for a few days while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for better pet sitters. From the moment we met, it was clear they genuinely love animals and knew exactly how to make my dog feel comfortable and at home.

My dog still raves about the time he spent with Barbara and Stan. Seriously, they provided their lovely home for him to enjoy as his “spa” vacation. They provided daily pics and updates so there was no need to worry. Will definitely be going back to them.
