We have been lucky enough to be able to have Vivian and her family watch our dog, Ebby, for the past 5 years. I cannot say enough good things about her! When we pull into the driveway Ebby cries with excitement and runs to their front door. Thank you for always treating our dog like she is a part of your family, Vivian!

This was my first time using Rover. I was very nervous dropping him off, but Erin and her family put me at ease immediately! She sent pics and updates daily. My little guy had so much fun playing with her kids, he's been asleep since he came home! I highly recommend Erin!

Andrew was so wonderful. Very communicative and pleasant to work with. I knew immediately my dog would be safe and comfortable in his care and he did not disappoint. He has a great space for pets and you can tell he really cares. I will definitely book another stay with him.

Emily and Patrick were wonderful! From the beginning, they were asking thoughtful questions about Ruby's needs, routine, and personality. Their dog, Eli, became a new fur friend to our pup, Ruby and the photos and videos they shared while we were away gave us peace of mind. They were also accommodating as we had to change our drop off and pick up times. We will definitely be booking them again!

Ali was a perfect fit for Lizzy! We couldn't have been happier. We went away for a week, without access to Wi-Fi. Ali met with us beforehand, and we instantly felt comfortable to leave Lizzy in her care. She was so gentle, Lizzy relaxed and felt right at home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend and would definitely use Ali again.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chang! She took care of my dog Archie while I was away on business travel, and from the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease knowing my furbaby was in such loving and capable hands. Chang went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she treat Archie like her own—with so much love, care, and attention—but she was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans were unexpectedly extended. She adjusted without hesitation and gave me one less thing to worry about during a hectic trip. Throughout Archie’s stay, Chang was extremely communicative. She sent regular updates, photos, and sweet messages that showed just how happy and well-cared-for Archie was. It truly meant the world to me to have that peace of mind while being away. I wholeheartedly recommend Chang to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter. She’s an absolute gem, and I hope to always have her care for Archie in the future. Thank you, Chang! 🐾💛

About: Our family has 2 very friendly labs, Gabigool 3 y/o and Pepperoni 1 y/o. Their hobbies are running in the yard, playing fetch/tug of war and cuddling. Gabi and Pepper love making friends with other dogs! Our Cat Joni enjoys watching the dogs play from other side of the room and keeps to herself. No dog is too big or too high energy. As long as you love to play and are good with cats you'll love hanging out at Gabi and Pepper's house! "Woof woof woof" - Gabi I am a health care worker who works full-time on the weekends and am home Monday through Friday. I grew up taking care of our family dogs and now I have two of my own I absolutely love them. I am available for walks and play time Monday through friday. Our lab Pepper loves to chew and eat everything around our house so we keep it well kept and puppy proof! We have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys to keep your dogs entertained. Gabi loves to run our fence and is always excited to invite friends to join her! Pepper is a pro at playing fetch and loves to share her toys. When its a little too cold to be outside we take fetch and tug of war inside. "Bark bark bark"- Pepper

Willa had a wonderful time staying with Megan, her family, and their dog. She always takes a little while to settle in and Megan and her family were patient and kind, letting her approach at her own pace. By the end of her stay, she was romping around, playing, and totally comfortable. Megan communicated clearly and sent us photos to help us miss Willa a little less. We’re very glad to have found Megan’s family to sit for Willa!!

Once again, success! My dog Teddy much enjoyed his 2nd stay with Ellyn & family. We very much appreciate her conscientiousness & flexibility, as well as ease of communication. Most of all knowing Teddy is being cared for in a loving family environment while I’m away is the best thing ever!

Ashley was amazing and took great care of my big boy on his first time being away from family! This was a trial run and I will definitely be using Ashley in the future! She kept me updated and the lines of communication were open. He seemed to enjoy himself watching the wildlife and sitting in the sunroom!

Mailey was very sweet and met up with Rigby with one of her dogs before his stay to make sure he would be comfortable. Her house has a fully fenced in yard and porch which made me feel very comfortable. Rigby had a great time and she sent lots of updates and photos/videos.

Jessica did a wonderful job caring for our French Bulldog Sadie. She kept us updated throughout the weekend via text and photos. We could tell from the pictures that Sadie was having fun and getting lots of attention. We returned to a happy pup. This was our first time using Jessica’s service. She is kind, caring and very responsible. It was so nice not to have to worry about Sadie….we could relax and really enjoy our trip! We will call on her again and we highly recommend Jessica to care for your pet!
