“Darcie was AWESOME! This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. She watch my two dogs for a week and was communicative and sent photos the whole time. She has a sweet pup of her own that was great with my dogs. The cherry on top was her home and family were both so warm. It felt like leaving my dogs with a friend.”


“I love how Sherry sent pictures and videos of our dog while he was staying with her. It definitely seemed like he had a great time! I felt very comfortable with leaving him in her hands. 100% recommend!”



“I don't think I can describe the relief I had while on vacation! Leaving my pup with Sarah and Sam was absolutely the best decision EVER!!! They updated with pictures daily and the exercise that Abel received was outstanding! I would suggest Sarah and Sam to anyone looking for daycare of extended vacations!”

“We love that our pup gets a “vacation” while we are away! Heather is wonderful and takes such great care of him. We love being able to leave him without having to worry!”


“Mark was awesome. Nisha was well taken care of and loved her stay. Lots of walks and snuggles. Felt very comfortable leaving Nisha with Mark and will definitely board with him again. Thanks much Mark.”



“Genna and Terry were wonderful with our two dogs Sophie and Myles. They played with them endlessly and got em tired out several times. They kept me posted with pictures and let me know how they were doing so I didn't have to worry about them. As sad as I am to say this my Sophie would rather be with Genna and Terry so as a dog parent I have to step up my game. I would strongly recommend Genna and Terry to anyone who needs a pet sitter and I will be recommending them to all my family and friends in the area s well as making them my regular per sitter.”


“Izzy absolutely 💯 loved being at Katelyn's and Chris' home playing with their 2 dogs and fitting right in and watching over the baby or rather for food droppings lol! I would absolutely have them dogs sit again with no worries. I don't even think Izzy felt separation anxiety away from me, she was too busy having fun!! Thank you Katelyn and Chris for taking good care of my girl! 😊”


“I can't say enough good things about Emily. I can leave town for a few days or just a few hours and I 100% can trust and feel relieved that I have someone that I trust to take care of my dog Momoa. Every time she continues to wow me and my dog enjoys his time with her as well. Highly recommend.”


“Our pup just really took to Carol and had a great 2 days with her. She sent us pictures of him and let us know how he was doing through out his stay. We will definitely be using Carol again!”


“Kathleen took great care of Poppy. She gave him tons of walks and love and even introduced him to her friends. She went above and beyond feeding Poppy healthy food that she purchased herself. Kathleen sent Poppy home clean after giving him a bath. None of this was requested. This shows the love she pours into the animals she cares for. A++.”


“Andrea and our dog, Milo, became best buddies immediately, and spent 3 lovely days together. Andrea gave Milo personal care and attenyion,kept in communication with us, and shared pictures of Milo enjoying his new home away from home. We will definitely ask for Andrea's availability the next time we need to be away from home.”


“Corinna was awesome! Everything went perfectly from the initial conversation to plan Max’s drop-off all the way until pickup. Corinna was attentive to all of Max’s special needs, she was very accommodating & had a wonderful set-up for Max to feel comfortable. She also had excellent communication skills, providing many photos & updates throughout his stay. I highly recommend Corinna. A++”


“Cathleen was great at communicating and great with the dogs. She’s a natural with them and her dog Thor is a big ol’ sweetheart. My dogs took to Cathleen’s backyard so quickly. It was a great space. I would definitely book with her again.”


“Our dog, Tilly, had a blast with Erica and Cora. She’s currently exhausted-reminds me of a teenager home from a slumber party when there was no sleeping ? will definitely ask again!”


“Luna had a great time at Terry’s with his other pups. It was nice to know she was in good hands and good company while we were out town. I will gladly have Terry watch her again next time we need someone!”


“I left my dogs for the first time over Christmas. My very excitable, stage-one clinger (GSD) was calm and happy when I picked her up which indicates that she was feeling very relaxed during her stay. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Jake and his family.”
