Judith and her family are absolutely wonderful. Chloe had the most amazing stay and didn’t want to come home LOL. I had a hard time getting her in the car. Judith was so communicative and let us know how Chloe was doing every day. I think Chloe misses them and Cali!! Thank you Judith ❤️❤️❤️

Mario is an extremely caring dog sitter. My 6yr old zz loved being with Mario and his dogs. Zz was so exhausted when he was back home and missed his new friends. I constantly received his photos and videos that was great. Mario took zz out on walks even in snow and cared for zz to my satisfaction.

Carrigan is a lovely young woman with a dog whisperer touch. Puppy Sammy immediately sat at her feet as we were preparing to leave her driveway for an overnight trip — his first stay outside of our home/with a non family member EVER. I was worried that he may not take well to the situation, but he adjusted quickly, and Carrigan took him on several long walks which exercised him and tired him out. I recommend Carrigan highly!

Elaine was wonderful with our two dogs on their first time boarding! She is very professional and knows well how to care for the dogs, and she is also so sweet and caring with them, they could not have been in better hands! They had so much fun and exercise, they came home so relaxed and had a full night sleep, well into the morning. We are definitely boarding our guys with Elaine again!

Tina and Jon went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at ease leaving our 5-year-old Italian Greyhound in their care while we traveled to Canada. They provided consistent updates throughout our entire trip, sending a plethora of videos and photos that kept us connected to our pup. The fenced-in backyard was a fantastic perk, and we loved seeing all the adventures she went on with them. If you are looking for a five-star pet sitter, Tina and Jon are the ones for you!

I was so fortunate to have found Anastasiia to watch our dog Axel when we traveled to Europe. We had booked a sitter who cancelled - leaving us with very little time to find another over the holiday season. We had Anastasiia was reasonably priced compared to some of the other sitters available (watch out for price gouging during the holidays). I had booked someone who was less expensive but when we did the meet and great, I saw that they were using Rover to run a kennel: 10 dogs kept in an 8x6 garage - with no one home! I took a chance on Anastasiia because she is new to Rover. When I met her in her home, I could tell right away that Axel would be in good hands! The home is charming and so was Anastasiia's partner :-). During Axel's stay he got to go to the park and play and even got to go on a hike. Anastasiia asked me if it was ok to take him and how he was in the car. The pictures of their adventure made me smile :-). I was sent lots of pictures during Axel's stay - most either playing or lounging lol Axel was in good spirits when we picked him up. I felt comfortable and confident that my family member was being given good care while we were overseas. I highly recommend.
