“Melanie did an exceptional job with my dog Zoey! I could tell she was very loved and cared for at Melanie’s house. I got photos and updates daily. I’ll definitely use her again, she’s fantastic.”


“Carolina and Angel were great to deal with and welcomed Bella into their family for the weekend. Quick responses and provide ample updates during the stay. Highly recommended. Thanks again!”


“Terrific communicator, very flexible and accommodating to our schedule and needs. Mark picked up and dropped off our dogs with short notice which was super helpful because we were on a tight and unpredictable schedule. He and his family were so warm and took great care of our dogs who were returned energized and happy. Will definitely work with Mark again! A+++”


“Anita and her family sent photos and stayed with me on text letting me know how she was. She was very happy to help us and gentle with our husky who gets anxiety away from us! She is now the permanent person to care for our pup when we go away! Thank you Anita if I could give 10 Stars we would!❤️❤️❤️”


“Triba is the best thing that could happen with a super worried cat mom, she arranged our video calls while I was away. She loved her like her own, she is definitely becoming her foster mom permanently ?”



“Kathryn and Jeremy were great, can't recommend them enough. They were extremely communicative both before Bella's stay and during, updating us with pictures etc throughout the day. The couple are very well versed in dog behavior/needs and asked all the right questions to make us feel confident Bella was going to be well cared for and safe. When we picked Bella up she was very comfortable in their home and was resting with Kathryn and Jeremy. If you are looking for trustworthy couple to watch your pup with love and attention, this is it!”


“Elizabeth has taken excellent care of my little guy a couple times now - I admit my I can be extra as a dog dad but she and her family respected all my requests and I could tell that they really took care of my dog like he was their own and went above and beyond. He was loved and cared for and that allowed me to rest easy while away, would recommend!”


“It was my first time using Rover and leaving our precious fur baby with anyone. Yajaira was great from the meet and greet to the day of pick up . She answered all my questions, send pics during my pup’s boarding time and had him ready to go at pick up ! Definitely a 5 star ! We will be using her again !”


“Ji Ah and her husband were both great! I received pictures and updates every day while I was away. Duke already misses them and their lovely dogs. Thank you Ji Ah, you are amazing!”


“A heartfelt thank you to Bruce and Carolyn for the amazing care you gave Ozzy while we were away! You make an incredible pet-sitting team — I truly appreciated all the updates and adorable photos. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands!”


“James and family were wonderful with our dog, taking him in for a week while we went on a recent trip. His communication was thorough to assure us that things were going well, along with any questions about his care as needed. It was evident that our dog endeared himself to their family and had a great stay. We would definitely recommend James for any dog sitter needs and would rebook him as a dog sitter for future occasions”


“She was great! Very responsive and kind. I was worried about bringing my 4 pound poodle around her big dogs, but she did soooo good! Her dogs were gentle with her and they had fun. So many laughable photos. Thank you girl!! If I need someone in her area, I will rebook.”


“Nickimmy was great-totally recommend. She was super responsive when communicating about a nd treated Milo like he was her own family pet. My fiancé and I were very nervous to leave Milo with someone new to him, as we are anxious pet parents, but we both felt immediately comfortable leaving Milo in Nickimmy’s care. She provided frequent pictures and check ins, lots of walks and time outside, and she even comforted him when he woke up in the middle of the night howling bc he missed us! We will definitely leave Milo with Nickimmy again and can’t recommend her and her sweet family enough.”


“Stephen was phenomenal with our pup!! Extremely communicative and friendly. We got multiple photos and videos each day! He took him on walks every morning and let him play with all the tennis balls he could find! This was our dogs first time staying with someone other than family and it seemed like a vacation - we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. Highly recommend Stephen and we will definitely use his dog sitting services the next time we go away.”


“Allison was great! She sent us texts and pictures, and we could see how happy and comfortable our dogs were with her. Our dogs were welcomed like part of her family. We were very happy with her thoughtful and caring nature.”
