“Ariane and her family were wonderful with our sometimes-anxious cockapoo, Millie who spent 10 days with them while we were out of the country. She went for walks alongside Ariane's two dogs, lay in the sun on the fenced deck, joined Ariane in the car on errands and fully participated in their family life. Ariane was great at sending frequent updates which were much appreciated. Millie seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up - she will definitely be a returning guest!”
“Julia welcomed our puppy Riley into her home for 6 days. It was our first experience with Rover, and bringing Riley to someone's home outside of our family. We were amazed at how Riley quickly became comfortable! He was welcomed by Julia and soon learned the daily routine. Julia sent us tons of pictures - daily walks, playing with her dog, cuddling and napping. Her knowledge of puppies and training is very deep, and her quiet way was very reassuring to us, and for Riley. She even shared maps of her favorite trails so we could continue to take riley to some of his now favorite walks. We look forward to booking with Julia in the near future. She truly is a 5 star person!”
“Faith is wonderful and has always taken great care with my family’s dogs. She continues to not only take excellent care of my dogs but provide them with a wonderful experience while their humans travel. I could not recommend her enough!”
“Mike is the best! We left our dog for his first night away from us, and we felt very comfortable and had no worries. Our dog had a rough night and Mike helped him through. We’ll be booking again!!”
“Donnie came in swinging for us last minute for February Vacation. Our dogs had a blast and are very tired out. I wish we had met him sooner! Definitely our go to sitter for our four legged babies. Thanks Donnie!”
“Kristi is incredible! She has watched my dachshund twice now and he always comes home just as happy as when I dropped him off. For the pet parents who get nervous leaving their pups with a sitter, your dog will be in great hands with Kristi!”
“Donna and Roland were so welcoming to our dog, Sophie! Donna was very kind and responsive throughout the whole booking process and sent us pictures while we were away. We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful couple to care for our dog!”
“Daisy was amazing with my picky dog. We scheduled a last minute trip and she was beyond accommodating and put our minds at ease knowing that we were leaving our pup in good hands. She went above and beyond, and we looked forward to her pictures and updates while we were away. If we need to board again, I feel 100% comfortable reaching out to Daisy again!”
“Thanks Donna for fitting us in last minute to watch Lexi! We were happy Lexi felt right at home & was well taken care of. We will definitely use your services in the near future, thanks again.”
“Five stars is not enough! We left Chewbacca with Karen for a few days this week. Chewbacca has various specific needs, including oral medication and prescription diet, and he gets very nervous when first dropped off. We have never had such a strong sense of peace of mind with a dog sitter as we did this weekend. Karen was extremely communicative, updated us through text and pictures throughout the day, and always made sure to go the extra mile so Chewbacca felt safe and cared for. We will absolutely be calling her again!”
“Denise was great! She sent me lots of photos and videos of my dog, and he was clearly well cared for and enjoying himself. She has two sweet dogs herself and it was a wonderful environment.”
“We cannot sing the praises of Mikayla and Alen enough. They cared for our puppy - a challenge for anyone - and integrated him into their daily routine. He enjoyed being there and playing with their dog (and cat) and felt right at home. Having someone take care of our "baby" while we are on vacation and not have to worry about him is such a relief. We will be using this couple again shortly, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone concerned about leaving their furbaby behind.”
“Felicia was very accommodating and easy to work with which put all my anxiety of leaving my pets behind at ease. My dogs seemed very relaxed at her home and I believe they really enjoyed their stay with her.”
“Christina was great! She was so patient and understanding with us when we hit some timeline delays and she really made Oakley feel like she was apart of the pack. I would 100% recommend booking her and will do so again on our next trip!”
“Kristen and Bobby were extremely warm and alleviated any fears we had about leaving Ollie with them and their dog Archie. They treated Ollie like their own- Kristen even fed him kibble by kibble when he didn't want to eat. Kristen sent us photos showing Ollie relaxing on couch with her and Archie. Home sweet home! We would definitely book with them again and in fact already have!”
“Tammy was absolutely wonderful! The second we talked on the phone I knew Dexter was going to be in good hands! He was very well cared for and I did not have any worries while we were away. She sent us several updates, and we already have Dexter booked for another stay!”
“Crystal was the perfect choice for my Izzy! She sent us a lot of pictures, which helped put my mind at ease. She was so sweet with her. Izzy was very comfortable. I will most definitely be using Crystal again soon!”
