Cynthia is very quick at answering texts, and sends occasional updates and pictures of your pets while you are gone. My dogs looked perfectly happy to have other "friends" to play with. I have used her twice and would recommend her.

The sitter and her family were incredibly kind and welcoming. Communication was excellent, and I appreciated the thoughtful photo updates throughout Teddy’s stay. He seemed very happy and had a great time. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend them to care for your pet.

Allison and Michael were great watching my anxious dog. They took him for walks, played with him, gave him his medicine and provided updates with photos. It usually takes him time to warm up to new people but he seemed comfortable there and looked like he had a good time at his stay!

Cheyenne is AMAZING! We have used her twice, once for a extended trip and one for a shorter one. Our sweet girl is so loved and taken excellent care of! Lille seems sad her first day home after being at Cheyenne’s, she surely misses her! Communication is amazing and she sends us multiple updates and pics through her stay and it helps us a ton even though we know she’s in amazing care. She loves Cheyenne and all the friends she makes while she is there! Can’t say enough good things!! We will not bring her anywhere else when we travel.

So grateful to have these two wonderful people look after my baby! They always offer frequent updates and photos, so you know what your pet is up to all day long. That was my third time booking with them and I will continue to use them in the future. A+!

Katrina and Drew were amazing with our Poppy. It's the first time we have picked her up and she was hesitant to jump in the car to go home. We know she was well-loved and in good hands with them :)

Becky is a 5 STAR Rover Mom! She has sent photos and video, assured us everything is going okay with our puppy, Franky. I’m doubly grateful Becky was able to extend Franky’s stay by two days. She’s been a blessing after my surgery with her flexibility. I’m ready to pick up Franky this evening. He will miss his playmates and Becky’s family. I highly recommend Becky M for small dog care!

Michael, Vanessa, and their daughters were great to our dog Stanley. They provided plenty of updates and made a ton of time to take Stan out for play time and exercise. Unfortunately he seems bored to be home with us now. We will definitely take them up on their services again!

Michelle, Brian and their family took such great care of my dog! She felt right at home going into their home and didn’t give it a thought that I was leaving her there, she was so excited! They sent updates and pictures to me, followed her routine that I left, and treated her just like family. I highly recommend them as pet sitters!

Chelsie and her family were not only amazing and patient with Tilly, welcoming her into their home while we were away, but she was incredibly flexible with our ever changing travel schedule. Due to weather that prevented us from getting home when we originally anticipated, Chelsie was extremely understanding and accommodating to help extend Tilly’s stay with her family. This was so helpful by taking one thing off of our already stressful plates. Thank you for everything, Chelsie!

Dee was amazing!!! Such a dog lover, especially my little dauschund. We visited and I immediately felt comfortable with my dog in her home. She is very calm, friendly and attentive. While on vacation, Dee sent photos and updates throughout the week. I would 100% recommend Dee to anyone that is looking for a sitter.

This was our first time using Rover and Alecia and Todd made it a great experience! Their communication was great and we received updates throughout her stay. Our dog is getting older, so she sometimes needs a little extra love and attention, but Alicia and Todd made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout. Highly recommended!
