Noel and family were great for Bamboo! Their place is very well set up for dogs, and they were extremely attentive and communicative sitters. Highly recommend!

Christle was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She kept them busy and happy during their stay. She sent pictures and updates throughout their stay and was always quick to respond. My dogs will be staying with her again in the future.

My dog, Atticus, age 2, had his first full day with Margaret a few days ago. He was very well taken care of including a couple of walks. He was happy to play fetch and take naps after walking. It was easy to tell by his face and composure that he had a great day...there was no visible stress when he returned home. Another dependable companion 'star' in his young life when I am not around! Many thanks, M :)

Rumi was great! From the moment I arrived she was so sweet and I could tell I had found the right place to leave my little guy. She has a large fenced in yard that my pup was able to run in safely. I received lots of picture and video updates through out the day and he always looked like he was smiling 😊. Every vitamin and food regimen were followed to a T. Rumi will definitely be our go to! This was my first experience with Rover, but I will definitely not be looking elsewhere. Thank you so much Rumi, you made Sky's stay so joyous and peaceful!

About: We have both had dogs since our childhood but are dogless now. We look forward to the opportunity to work with your furry family member! There are two of us that love dogs living here. We both work from home and would love to help! We do have doggy visitors at times and we are more than happy to help! We live in a condo near a walking path and love walking it! We wouldn't mind the company when we have your dog or when you need someone to walk your family friend! Brian has a sometimes flexible 40 hour work week. I run an after-school art education franchise but am never too busy to give proper attention to a doggy friend. Please let us know if your dog has any special needs or quirks. For example, a prior dog just could just not handle other dogs who approached him. He was quite harmless, but very nervous. We would like to know anything similar to that or whether your dog needs special care when they are with us, i.e. medications or food, et cetra.

Andrea took very good care of my baby, i was so nervous leaving him with someone new. But i am glad i found her. My baby was well taken care off and he seem very happy. He was treated like a family member he was taken on car rides and he was allowed to sleep on the bed. I definitely will be booking with her and her family again.

Tiffani took great care of my dog while I was away for a week. She made sure his medication was given twice a day, even setting an alarm so it wouldn’t be missed. She sent regular pictures and videos, which was reassuring, and my dog seemed to enjoy spending time with her dog. He can be very clingy, but she handled it without any issue. I’d be happy to have her watch him again and hope she’s available in the future! I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!

Brian and Kevin welcomed our 15 year-old littermates, Jesse and Jack, into their home for a four night stay this past weekend. They are senior Jack Russell Terriers with mobility, vision, and hearing challenges. Brian provided frequent updates and was ready to address any issues that arose. I have never felt so relaxed while away from home. It was clear before we even boarded our flight that Jesse and Jake were in very good hands. We will request Brian and Kevin again the next time we travel.

I can’t say enough about Dyan. She watched my senior blind, deaf toy poodle and took such great care of him. Dyan went out of her way to try to make him as comfortable as possible. You could tell she really loves dogs. I was so fortunate to find her. I would highly recommend Dyan to anyone.
