1. Richard T.


“Jimmy was at Richard's during the week of Christmas and seemed like he had a great time with him and his pack of dogs. Richard was kind, accommodating and sent pictures and videos regularly. His house has a huge yard for the pups to run around in. When I got back Jimmy was a happy, healthy and tired pup. Will surely recommend Richard and his pack to others looking for a safe and fun place to board their dogs.”


2. Michael H.

“Michael & Maria were great hosts! Charlie stayed with them for 4 nights and this was his first time away from us. They made the transition very seamless for us! Days before dropping him off, they reached out prior to make sure we accommodated Charlie in any way we can. After dropping Charlie off, they gave us frequent pics multiple times during the day without even asking for them! They played with Charlie, took him for walks, and were extremely nice and communicative! I will definitely be booking again :)”




3. Kathleen K.

“Kathleen is an awesome communicator (sending a lot of pics and updates while we were away) and has such a beautiful/kind soul. She and our little Beo had plenty of walks and cuddles and we will be using her routinely as our sitter. She is the best!”




4. Victoria K.

“Victoria did a fantastic job with taking care of my dog, Stella, while I was on travel for a week. She was very informal about how my dog was doing on a daily basis, took great photos, and always made sure Stella had plenty of outdoor/play time. I know my Stella definitely enjoyed her stay haha. I highly recommend Victoria to watch your dog as I very much trust her with mine.”


5. Amy C.

“Amy is truly the best! She is attentive and communicates very well. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her :) My dog can’t wait to come back!!”


6. Christine B.

“Christine is the best! She was in constant communication with us in the lead up to and throughout Leo’s stay. She was flexible in working around our often changing pickup schedule and easily accommodated all of our pups needs. Will definitely book with Christine next time we need a dog sitter. Thanks again!”


7. Nelia & Brett M.


“We had a wonderful experience with Nelia & Brett. They took great care of my dog and she seemed much happier in their care versus the more traditional boarding options we've used previously. We felt so comfortable with the multiple updates and photos. Our sweet girl seemed so happy and we look forward to booking with them again.”


8. Christy M.


“We left our puppy Bailey with Christy and Bandit for a wedding weekend and we couldn't of been more pleased with her stay. Bandit was very welcoming of Bailey and Christy was very accomidating to our crazy schedule coming in from out of town. We would definitely have Bailey back there again. Thanks”


9. Sebastian O.

“Sebastian is my go to sitter, he is always great with Chip and spoils him every time he watches him. Highly recommend Sebastian, he will treat your fur baby like they were his own”


10. Ryan N.

“Ryan is absolutely wonderful, I almost want to gatekeep him. You can tell how much he just loves dogs, my dog has a great time with him at the park and we appreciate the picture and video updates! I get so nervous leaving my baby but feel better when shes with Ryan and his dogs”


11. Jacqueline O.

“I would book again! She's was very attentive, sent me pictures, and provided a recap of the day for me. She was also very responsive and answered all my questions. 😊”


12. Audrey M.

“Our older cat is afraid of her shadow and keeps her distance from people she doesn’t know. Audrey was patient and gentle with her. She sent me pictures and notes every day. I like that she works from home so your pet is not left alone very often. And her adorable and very friendly kitten is happy to be a playmate or can be kept separate if needed. Give Audrey a try. You won’t be disappointed.”


13. Tia D.

“Tia is responsive, easy to work with, and gives the pups plenty of attention. She sends photos and updates regularly and despite not wanting to be left at the sitter’s I can tell my dog has a good time!”


14. Trish M.

“Nice clean home, secure clean yard to play. Trish is nice and accommodating. Zoey seemed happy and well cared for, with pictures throughout the stay. We would definitely use Trish again.”


15. Breanna S.


“Breanna was amazing! Always kept in contact and we felt our sweet boy was loved and taken care of! Definitely the best experience we had with Rover!”


16. Emily & Patrick M.

“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!”


17. Laura M.

“Laura was awesome!”


18. Theresa L.


“Theresa was exceptional at looking after our dog Oscar! She was so professional, walked him so much, really cared for him, and was so communicative. We got regular updates that reassured us he was in good care and the amount of exercise and attention she gave him went above and beyond. I highly recommend using Theresa to look after your animal. We will definitely be booking her again!”




19. Amy N.


“Amy took wonderful care of our 12 yr old Shih Tzu! It was our first time leaving him with someone and we felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. Thank you!”


20. Tessa B.

“Tessa was great! My dog isn't usually the cuddly type, but he cuddled right up to her. She was always communicative, sent regular pictures and updates, and asked lots of questions in our meet and greet to be sure she knew what my dog needed. I'd definitely hire her again!”
