“Tracee and her family did a fantastic job taking care of Gracie! They were all very communicative, caring and accommodating. Gracie already cannot wait to go back!”

“Briana was absolutely amazing with my puppy, Ace. This was our first time boarding him and I was nervous. He is also young so I was worried about him with bigger dogs. Once we met, I knew Briana and her dogs were going to be a great fit for him. He had an absolute blast and he is exhausted from all the love. She sends pic throughput the day so I know he was having so much fun! I would highly recommend her and I will book with her again in the future! Thanks again Briana for making my first time away from my pup a relaxing and non stressful experience!”

“I left my Pug with Gabrielle on a Sunday to Tuesday. Gabrielle was very conscientious, answered all questions, listened well and was very nice to both Wilbur and me. He obviously has a nice way with dogs and sent photos and video of Wilbur at random times. Wilbur was well taken care of, walked dependably, and was happy with Gabrielle and co. I highly recommend Gabrielle and look forward to seeing him again!”

“Meli is a fantastic sitter! She took awesome care of my pup, Chunk. I really enjoyed the pictures that she sent me throughout the day. It was a comfort knowing that he was in good hands. You can tell that she is very passionate about animals!”

“Vignesh and his family were great with our dogs. He sent us updates, pictures, and video nearly every day. We were very pleased with the care he gave our dogs. One of our dogs is very nervous, but even he warmed up to them and cuddled up with them by the end of the stay. I can't recommend Vignesh highly enough!”

“Priti is amazing! From the moment you meet her and her husband you know you’ve found a safe, happy place for your family member. Immediately they are both loving and focused on making friends with your dog. They have a fenced in back yard on a quiet street which is also very attractive feature. When we arrived to pick up our dog, we could sense she was calm, comfortable, and happy. This is the classic parenting – babysitter dilemma: when you find a good one, you don’t want to tell folks. In Priti, we found a great one and she deserves a superlative review.”

“Rhadika is amazing! She is wonderful with our black lab who has a few medical issues. Rhadika was very open to her medicine schedule. Our dog seemed so comfortable and happy with Rhadika! She provides pictures and updates. Can’t wait to use her again!!!”

“We thought we’d feel guilty leaving our dog behind for vacation, but knowing she was having the time of her life with Dawn and her family made all the difference! Their love and attention to her care were evident in every update, and we couldn’t get enough of the adorable photos and videos. We’re so grateful to have found such a wonderful family for her to stay!”

“Andreana was a very great dog sitter. She is very responsive and accommodating. I was very anxious about leaving Joi with a dog sitter for the first time, and I received numerous updates throughout the whole trip. Joi always looked extremely happy and it settled my worries quickly. I got Joi back just the way I left her and was very happy with the whole experience. Looking forward to using her for some doggy day care, and if needed more boarding in the future.”


“My dog has been at Elaine’s place a few times now for boarding and daycare, and we’re very happy with their services. My dog comes home well take care of, and Elaine is super nice. Would recommend!”

“Lauren was absolutely fantastic! Bella loved her stay!! Lauren was easy to coordinate both the stay and meet up with prior. Great communication during the stay with lots of photos. She even had some dog toys at her place to share with Bella! Bella looks super cozy and well taken care of in each photo. I highly recommend Lauren!”

“I was very pleased with Sarah’s care of Brandy when she stayed with her this past weekend. Sarah was great about updating me and sending pictures. Her house is very dog friendly and there are lots of toys that her pup shares with guests. Brandy enjoyed her stay, and although she was happy to see me, was not showing any of the anxiety I sometimes see when we are separated for a while, so I know she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for in my absence. I would highly recommend Sarah as a sitter and plan to have her watch Brandy again soon!”

“Migle was absolutely wonderful with Zoë. She went above and beyond-carrying her up and down the stairs because Zoë couldn't manage them, sending regular photo updates, and treating her like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing Zoë was so well cared for. Truly exceptional.”

“Our dog loved his stay with Melissa! He was the happiest boy when we picked him up. Melissa is great with communication, asks good questions and sends lots of pictures. We love that she has a fenced in yard and treats the dogs like they’re part of the family. Her pup Casper is also a sweetie. 10/10!”

“Lilith and her family are so nice and sent so many great pics of Snooki. I could tell she was well cared for and loved while we were gone. The home is pristine and in a great neighborhood for pups. Will definitely leave Snooki with Liliya again!”

“Paola is amazing! She took such good care of my pup. She is loving, caring, sent pictures and videos and made my pup feel very comfy. The house has a beautiful garden, and it’s spacious. Thank you so much for your service Paola! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Jacqueline and her daughter took wonderful care of my dog Molly. Molly is older and gets anxiety about being in new places. She was given lots of attention while I was away and treated like family. I received lots of pictures while I was gone. Molly even got a bath and Jacqueline did some minor grooming, which I was extremely thankful for. I highly recommend Jacqueline and plan on using her again in the future, if needed.”

“jacqueline was fantastic and I have already booked her again. She was very responsible and also set us many pictures which we loved! I look forward to working with her again. Theo loved her!!!”
“This was our first time leaving our boy overnight anywhere. Michael and his family made it such an easy process. I can tell Bear was well taken care of. Michael sent us regular updates with videos and pictures. We will definitely be asking Michael and his family to take care of our boy in the near future. Thank you again!!”

Gabriel is a very accommodating and trusting dog sitter! He was able to watch our pup on a last minute weekend and we are so grateful for his speedy response and willingness to take on another doggo for the busy valentine weekend ☺️ Wolfy came home the most tuckered out we’ve seen him in a very long time and is very much content upon his return home, he’s a very happy pup. We will be looking to book with Gabriel from here on out, hands down!

Chelsea is amazing! My dog Louie was so calm and comfortable at her house with her and her dog, Paisley. Chelsea sent picture updates throughout Louie’s stay and was very communicative. I was honestly expecting Louie to want to stay longer when I went to pick him up lol! We are excited to have Chelsea watch Louie again in the future.

Melissa is wonderful! We liked her so much that we rebooked with her within a week of picking up our Charlie after a 3 week stay. Charlie had just been diagnosed with hip dysplasia, so we were a little reticent to leave him. Melissa was nothing short of a dog whisperer! She knew just what to do! She sent photos every day, which really put us at ease. Don’t hesitate to leave your fur baby with Melissa! She’s the best!!

Hannah is fantastic! Our dog is anxious around strangers and new dogs, and this was the first time using Rover. Hannah did a great job at easing our minds and sent us a lot of pictures of Loena enjoying herself. I highly recommend her and if needed we will bring Loena again to Hannah!
