For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!

I highly recommend Karl! I've used him multiple times over the years, and again I recently left my doberman with him for 3 nights. He is very communicative, caring and reliable. I feel very comfortable leaving my dobi-girl with him at his beautiful dog-friendly place in Clintonville.

Rayann was great watching our dog for a week. This is the first time someone other than family has watched our dog and I was nervous about using a service like this and having to choose someone I didn’t know. Rayann was so warm and helpful from the beginning. She was really helpful and flexible on drop off and pickup times due to my schedule and flight changes. She sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the week letting me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Rayann and will book with her in the future.

Yi did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. She communicated well, sending pictures daily and letting me know how he was doing. This was the longest I’ve been away from him since we’ve had him, and I really appreciated how well she took care of him. She was friendly, responsive, attentive, and I didn’t have to worry about my dog being well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Ellen did such an amazing job with my senior rescue girl! She has some health issues and is a little shy, so I'm always worried about leaving her for the weekend with someone new, but I could tell she felt comfortable with Ellen right away. Communication was great—Ellen sent photos and updates and made me feel a LOT less guilty about leaving her. I honestly could not have had a better experience, which is saying something coming from a slightly neurotic mom of a special needs dog :) I'll definitely be booking Ellen again in the future!

Jessica was amazing with my dog, Dude! This was my first time ever using Rover so I was obviously a little anxious about leaving him with someone I didn't know but she made me feel very comfortable with everything and sent me lots of pictures and updates the entire week I was away to make me feel at ease! Dude seemed to be very comfortable at her place and loved that she took him on many walks! I would love to use Jessica's services again in the future. Thank you so much!

So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!

Samantha is the best!!! We did a drop in before she dog sat for my little guy and he fell for her right away. She def has a great energy — dogs know these things! She was super communicative and made sure she asked all the questions so she knew how to take the best care of our dog. She also sent updates throughout like letting us know she got him, that he had been fed and went potty, and sending really cute pics which made me very happy ❤️ I would def recommend booking with Samantha and would totally book again ☺️

Our original boarding fell through the morning we were walking out the door. Katie took Hank on basically no notice — we barely even had time to meet before we left him on her doorstep. She sent photos and videos multiple times a day, and honestly he looked like he was having the time of his life. Total lifesaver.

I can’t recommend her enough! She watched Mowgli for 2 nights and was wonderful from start to finish. She was so communicative and sweet, sending frequent updates that gave me real piece of mind while I was away. She also went above and beyond with the thoughtful little touches — she left a sweet card and a Polaroid photo of Mowgli, which absolutely made my day. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. I’m certain Mowgli had a great time, and I’d happily book with her again!

Deanna is amazing! We are from out of state and we were looking for someone to watch our dog while we were at a wedding. Deanna took the best care of Timber and made her so comfortable! She had space to play, toys to play with, and took lots of notes for being able to take care of Timber to the best of her ability. She also sent us lots of photos and videos which I loved! Will 100% choose Deanna again if we are back in the area!

Michelle and Nick are amazing! We went on a longer trip and were super nervous about leaving Lily behind, but they made the whole experience so easy. They sent us detailed daily updates along with photos from their day, which really put our minds at ease. They also welcomed us for a meet and greet at their home before booking so we could get to know them and have Lily meet them ahead of time. That extra step made a huge difference in how comfortable we felt. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters!
