“Kristi did a fabulous job getting to know Gunner at our meet and greet. She gave him lots of love while we were away, and he looked forward to each visit with her. It was wonderful knowing he was in great care.”
“Heather was fantastic! You can tell she truly cares for your pets and goes above and beyond to provide them with the best care. My picky chihuahua loves her and we are so relieved to have found someone we can trust. As a Rover sitter myself, my standards are high, and Heather’s care provided us with the ultimate peace of mind. Thank you again!”
“Stacy was a true blessing! From the very beginning, she was quick to answer any questions and always responded to texts right away. My boys, Django and Ace, took to her instantly—which says a lot, especially with their personalities. Her gentleness and genuine love for animals really shines through. You can tell she’s not just doing this for a paycheck—she truly cares. She made sure to understand our needs and was very open and flexible with our schedule. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pups like her own, I highly recommend Stacy. We felt completely at ease with her!”
“Nevaeh was fantastic! She arrived right on time and went above and beyond during her visit. She took Mia out to the backyard for a potty break, brought her back in, spent time playing with her, and even checked in on our cats—despite only being scheduled to let the dog out. We’re very happy with the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the near future. Highly recommended!”
“I cannot begin to truly express how absolutely AMAZING Morgan is. She is an incredibly kind person and is unbelievably great with my lab, April. She’s one of those rare people who you can tell just from talking with her that she has a beautiful and kind spirit, as well as a tremendous love for animals. And April absolutely LOVES her already! So much so that I couldn’t get April to follow me into the house the last time that Morgan was here. Morgan was standing at her car, and April just stood in the driveway staring and staring at her, waiting for Morgan to call her so that she could jump in her car and take off with her. If you’re looking for someone that you will feel comfortable leaving your pets with without having to worry, Morgan is DEFINITELY your girl. I don’t believe there is ANY WAY that you could possibly be disappointed.”
“Andrea has been amazing taking care of my little guy! We’re new to the area and it’s been an adjustment, needless to say we’ve gotten a great routine down and Andrea goes above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. Thank you so much!”

Kevin sent me pictures of Carmel every visit and gave me updates on each visit. It definitely made our vacation more enjoyable knowing my dog was has having a good time as well. Highly recommended”
“Heidi was the Best! She was able to help us on short notice. She kept us updated with photos and texts. It was so nice to feel relaxed while we were away knowing our babies were well taken care of! She even vacuumed the kitty hair before we returned! I recommend her highly!”
“Catherine was great with my pets. She took care of my two dogs and also made sure my cat got his insulin injections 2x a day which was my biggest concern with finding someone for them. She sent me pictures and a description of her visit every time which made being away from them so much easier. I highly recommend Catherine!”
