Katie was absolutely amazing with my boy Abe! She kept me constantly updated with photos, videos, and hilarious little anecdotes throughout the day, which made being away so much easier. It was clear she treated my dog like one of her own—taking him on walks, to the dog park, and giving him plenty of playtime with other dogs. I really appreciated how trustworthy and responsible she was! I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you again, Katie!

This is the second time my dogs have stayed with Vanessa (the first time being boarded), and she was fantastic! Quick to respond, sends photo updates, and just a lovely person. Thank you for taking such great care of Sophie and Ginger!

Nelitza has done a wonderful job again! She watched our pup Finn for 12 days and always sent us updates. We have been working on helping Finn to gain weight because he is a picky eater and she helped us with that process! She definitely went above and beyond and we are extremely grateful! We would highly recommend having your dog stay with her while you are away!

Journey was great with Mandu. She helped us out in a last minute bind and was great about getting our dogs used to each other and snuggling by the end of the day. She was very responsive and Mandy seemed very happy.

Brady got a long great with Kathryn's dog and he enjoyed having a fenced backyard to explore. I think he was kinda disappointed I picked him up after a 2 week stay.

Rover Review My wife and I booked sitter services with Brian for our 3 year old Sheepadoodle, Cheyenne. As Rover newbies, we weren’t really sure what to expect and my wife was a little anxious about leaving our baby. Brian and Carly were extremely accommodating and agreed to have a meet and greet prior to Cheyenne’s stay—what an awesome couple! They welcomed Cheyenne into their home with open arms and that instantly put our minds at ease. We also had the pleasure of meeting their little boy Doc and his friend (name withheld for privacy), for which Cheyenne became fast friends. Several times a day, we received text updates on how Cheyenne was doing to include pics which we really appreciated. On pick-up day, Cheyenne was excited to see us as always but about an hour after being at home I could tell that she really enjoyed her stay because she got a little sad. That was quickly cured with a cup of Ben & Jerry’s Doggie, LOL! I honestly can’t say enough about the care and attention Cheyenne received during her stay. Moving forward, whenever we need a sitter and there’s availability, Cheyenne will be with Brian, Carly and Doc.

Evan was great with my dog Honey! She can be weary with strangers, but he made her feel safe and comfortable the whole time. He sent pictures and videos to update me, and even boiled some chicken for her when she didn’t want to eat her food!! I will definitely go back to Evan the next time I need a sitter!!

Once again, excellent visit with Ada! She is our only go-to and our pups absolutely love her. She was able to accept our pups when my husband’s schedule changed last minute when I was on a work trip. Ada really saved the day and was extremely responsive throughout the visit. I’m not sure who loves her more…the pup parents or the puppies!

Anna took such great care of our two dogs! We have an Australian shepherd who tends to be nervous in new situations and she was very happy and comfortable staying with Anna. She kept us up to date with plenty of photos and videos throughout the day, was always quick to respond, and both dogs got so much playtime and exercise they were both asleep soon after we got home.
