“Jo and Jonathan are absolutely wonderful people who will put your heart at ease and take great care of your fur babies. You can truly focus on whatever you need to do, knowing your pets have the best care possible. Jo provides daily updates, and has great attention to detail that will ensure the best care is given. Jo took care of our senior dog who is visually impaired and needs a little extra attention and there wasn’t anything this team couldn’t handle.”


“Finley had a great time during his long stay while we were out of the country. Daily updates were provided including pictures and videos. Finley was super tired when we picked him up, indicating lots of great play time! Thanks again!”


“Martine was a great sitter for my dog. She sent lots of photos and updates while he was with her and I appreciated the communication. I will book with her and her husband again!”


“I cannot say enough great things about Kathryn. I've been on Rover for a decade now, both as a sitter and as a dog mom and Kathryn is truly the best sitter I've ever had. She was friendly, communicative and did great with Teddy. I got morning and evening updates every day that I was away will a full itinerary of the day's activities. I also got so many photos which I loved! It was beyond reassuring knowing that not only was Teddy well taken care of, he was having a BALL with Kathryn and her husband. They treated him to lots of walk, playtime and cuddles. Kathryn is my go-to now and highly recommend her to anyone!”


“My dog, Milo, spent a long weekend with Valerie. She was quick to respond to my check ins and sent pictures of Milo enjoying his time with her dogs. She took great care of him and he came home happy.”

“I’m so glad I chose Sue for our daycare and dog boarding needs! She’s been a pleasure to work with - from the initial meet-n-greet between our two dogs, up to the actual stay, her kindness, heart for animals, and professionalism really made an impression. Communication with us during the stay, which included pics of our pup, and ultimate care were top notch, and I couldn’t have been more pleased. I will most definitely use her services again in the future! ?”


“Victoria was absolutely amazing, and I’ve already rebooked her for July! She far exceeded my expectations—I truly can’t say enough good things about her. This was the first time we left our 20-week-old Golden Retriever puppy, Pickles, with a pet-sitter, and we were out of the country for 10 days. I was very anxious, but Victoria quickly put me at ease by sending frequent updates, photos, and videos, along with funny stories from each day. She took Pickles on walks with her dogs, sat with him outside to enjoy the morning sun, and even brought him to an outdoor movie downtown on his last night. She cared for him like he was her own, and it meant the world to us. We came home to a happy, calm, and well-loved pup. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone—she’s truly exceptional!”



“Meghan posted tons of photos so we had great peace of mind while away. Our dogs seemed very happy when we picked them up and I especially appreciated how she let them relax on the furniture. Both of our dogs have separation anxiety issues and get extremely nervous when we've left them at boarding facilities in the past, but they seemed right at home at Meghan's.”


“Sally and her husband are great. Our Spencer received lots of love and attention when he spent the weekend at their house. They were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely use them again.”


“Brittany took care of our dog Peaches in her home for a few days while we went out of town. When we have left her with the vet, Peaches came home extra anxious and desperate for reassurance. It took days for her TY calm down. After staying with Brittany, she was happy to be home, but quickly relaxed and calm.”


“Nickole was absolutely amazing watching my dog 2 weekends in a row. She was extremely flexible in taking him in last min when I needed and my dog had so much fun staying with her both times. She also has pets of her own and I received lots of pictures and videos of them having fun together during his stay. I can’t recommend her enough! Do not hesitate with her as your furry companion will be in excellent care. Thanks Nickole :)”
