Alexis took Henry on short notice due to a personal emergency and immediately made him a member of her family. She regularly sent pictures showing him cuddled up and walking, and updates that eased my mind as I was trapped thousands of miles away by weather. She was flexible as I struggled with getting home, and just, generally, wonderful. Henry is reactive but she knew how to make him relax. So grateful.

Another great visit with Lan for my Labradoodle, Buddy. As always, she was great, taking special care of my little guy while I was away for nearly three weeks. Really appreciated her flexibility when we needed to adjust our return date. It was so good to know he was in good hands and having so much fun playing with her dog, Lucy.

Betsy was great! She communicated effectively with me in advance of the sitting, including a meet and greet to ensure that it was a good fit for both of us. Additionally, she spent several hours with Winston one morning so that he would be familiar with her before he stayed with her for a week. While Winston was in her care, I received regular texts and photos to let me know how he was doing. Finally, when I picked him up, Winston was clearly comfortable with Betsy. I would highly recommend Betsy as a dog sitter and plan on using her again. Thank you Betsy!

Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.

Our pug LOVED his 4-day stay with Brenda and her family! Our little guy got along great with her two pit bulls and really bonded with their little boy. The dogs played and ran together in the fenced in yard. Our pug came home happy and ready to nap. Each day, I received a couple of photos with a brief update which I appreciated. This was a short-notice booking, and I am so grateful that Brenda was available. We will definitely arrange dog-sitting with Brenda in the future.

It may sound cliche, but in this case it also true that Robert truly enjoys being with and caring for your dog. He’s responsive, conscientious, and sent a few great photos of our dog relaxing on her bed - she appeared to immediately feel safe and cared for. Thank you!

Rachel took such good loving care of Bronx! I was nervous and sad leaving him with a sitter as this was my first time using Rover but she sent me photos during my trip and gave me updates so it put me at ease. I can tell she treated him as if he was her own dog. I will definitely trust Rachel to babysit Bronx again in the future!

I wish there were more stars to leave for Robert. He deserves about 1000+ gold stars. 1. He was very clear when he had questions regarding Elwood's 'weird' behavior(s) and accepting of Elwood's quirks. 2. Robert sent photos and texts frequently to update me on their adventures. 3. Robert introduced his 3 yo child to Elwood and it was copacetic. 4. Elwood went on many walks and had many sniffing experiences. 5. Elwood misses Robert. He is sad without his new friend. A huge thank you to Robert.

Super thankful that Joshua was able to take care of my dog last minute. They were super friendly and provided the right amount of updates as well for me to feel comfortable about leaving them. My dog is high energy and has anxiety issues, but Joshue was able to find a way to keep them calm, happy, occupied, and tuckered out at the time I picked them up. I would highly recommend and would book with them again 🙏🏻

This was our second time boarding Maya with John and Joanna. We were so lucky to find an opening in their schedule and we didn’t hesitate to have Maya board with them. They are incredibly warm and loving people and you can tell they really care about your dog. They took our pup on walks and gave her lots of outside time and took such good care of her! They send us such great pictures and two videos of them feeding her cucumbers which made our hearts melt. We feel so safe and comfortable having them take care of our dog and know we will be back! :) thank you!!
