“Kirk was amazing he provided updates with photos and videos, and was able to accommodate for us being a last minute drop off. My dog definitely had fun and I would definitely be booking with him whenever I am in town”

“Stefani was wonderful with my dog Brodie over the weekend! She kept me updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I got back. It’s clear she really loves dogs, and I felt completely at ease leaving him with her. I’ll definitely be booking with Stefani again! Even Brodie misses hanging out with Charlie!”

“I needed a last minute sitter for my chocolate lab. And, David and his wife saved the day for me! Left Moose for 5 days and they sent plenty of pictures and updates to keep me stress free. I’m sure if moose could talk he would say he can’t wait to go back!”


“Delelah is a wonderful dog sitter, my dog Digby was so happy there and she gave me cute little daily updates on how things were going with him. Will absolutely use her services again :)”

“This our my 2nd stay with Debbie. She is super quick to respond, very good at sending updates and a wonderful care giver. Jax comes home relaxed and well behaved. I highly recommend her. If you want peace of mind and know you pet is safe, call on Debbie. She is awesome!!”

“This was Ollie's first stay with anyone. Paige and family made Ollie feel comfortable and part of the family. I had the feeling when I picked him up that he would prefer to stay.”

“I really appreciate Gina and the way that she cares for my Lil Paco when she boards him. I received daily updates, pictures and videos of him interacting with her family and furry friends. During my most recent business trip, I was delayed by inclement weather and had to extend Paco’s stay. Gina was so accommodating! In the future, Gina will be the only sitter I will schedule with. Thanks again, Paco says you’re Awesome!!”

“Took care of my dog ( Mr flash) as if he was her own. He was on the couch in one of the photos. I know he had plenty of playtime because he's exhausted .”

“Ashley was amazing in caring for my boy Duke. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. It looks like he was having the best time. Thank you again, Ashley for taking such good care of Duke.”

“She was amazing. She was able to care for my pet at the last minute; very flexible and understanding of my situation. I received numerous updates and feedback on how my hyper pet was doing. I would definitely use her services again!”

“Cindy was amazing! She took great care of my dogs and kept me updated the whole time. They looked so happy and comfortable with her. I’ll definitely book with her again!”

“Belinda was the absolute best! She took THE BEST care of my 14 year old dog for 4 days. He wears diapers and has separation anxiety, and she kept him by her side the whole time!! She communicated every few hours with pictures and updates which made me feel good while on my trip. I cannot recommend her enough!! Your animals will be in wonderful hands if you book with her, as I will never go to anyone else besides her because I have such peace of mind that he will be catered to the entire time by her. Thank you Belinda!”
“We have been taking our dog to Tisha for several years now and couldn’t be happier! She is very caring and responsible. She has dogs of her own, yet treats our Jaxi as though she too is her dog. Her husband is a dog lover as well. They make a good team. I wish there were more stars I could give her 😀”

“Having never used Manual before as our dog sitter, I was a little nervous. A big pull for us choosing him was no other pets in the house. We got there and the house was clean and Manual was friendly. He asked a lot of questions about what our dogs liked and didn't. Also, during our trip, he sent photos of the dogs everyday. He responded quickly every time I texted him thru the Rover app. We felt like our dogs were in good hands while we were gone. Would use Manual again.”

“Danielle was awesome with scheduling a last minute stay. She took care of Apollo and shared photos of his visit. Apollo is is older, and she provided that extra care he needs. We will definitely contact her again.”

“Nicole has always been a great sitter! I know that I don’t have to worry about anything when I leave my pet with her to go out of town. She always does a great job of sending photos/videos of my dog playing with her dogs which I have always enjoyed. If you are looking for a great person who will love your animal like their own, Nicole is your girl!”
