1. Courtney E.

“Courtney and Scott were wonderful with our baby! Kept us informed of his craziness with texts and pictures! Will definitely trust Cody to their care again-if they’ll have him.”


2. Ashley S.

“This was our first time leaving Addie with a dog sitter rather than boarding in a facility. Addie had an awesome experience. She was well taken care of and made a new friend. Ashley and her family made Addie feel loved and like she was part of their family. We received daily updates too as promised. I highly recommend Ashley and we will definitely board Addie with her again in the future.”


3. Ginger G.

“Ginger was a God send for my pup, Dak! My dog was in an accident and is still trying to recover so I was very hesitant about leaving him with anyone because of his condition. Ginger gave updates, made me feel extremely comfortable, expressed her love and care, went above and beyond to make this Rover experience 10 stars if that rating was available. I would recommend her to everyone. She even went out of her way to get him a new heating pad and let me take it home. I am extremely pleased with Ginger and her entire family’s service. Her family is amazing as well!”


4. Amy & James A.

“I recently hired a dog sitter named Amy to take care of my beloved furry friend while I was out of town for a week, and I can confidently say that she did an excellent job. From the moment I met Amy, I could tell that she was a true dog lover and had a natural affinity for animals. Throughout the week, Amy provided me with daily updates and photos of my dog, which really helped put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip without worrying about my pet's wellbeing. She took my dog on long walks and even played with him in the backyard, which I know he absolutely loved. One thing that really impressed me about Amy was her attention to detail. She not only followed all of my instructions to the letter but also went above and beyond to ensure that my dog was comfortable and happy. For example, she noticed that my dog was a little anxious at bedtime and spent extra time snuggling with her until she fell asleep. Overall, I would highly recommend Amy as a dog sitter to anyone who is looking for a caring and responsible individual to take care of their pet. Her love for animals, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills make her a top-notch choice. I will definitely be using her services again in the future.”

10. Starr A.

“Starr was fantastic! My dog is diabetic which requires an insulin injection twice a day. He recently had eye surgery which requires pain meds and eye drops several times a day. She was amazing! She sent photos and messages several times a day showing how he was doing. That reassured me and I was not worried about him so I enjoyed my vacation even more. I have already recommended Starr to two of my friends. I would definitely use her services again!”
