1. Jocelyn S.

“I am so happy I found Jocelyn! My two small dogs had a blast and were so calm when I picked them up. She was responsible, communicative, kind and compassionate. As we all know, finding a person we can trust to take care of our beloved pets is invaluable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”


2. Eve B.


“Eve was so wonderful. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our pups’ stay with her. She took our pup on many walks & was very responsive. She treated our dog like it was her own & we appreciate that immensely!”


3. Barry W.


“Barry took such great care of Bug. He was very intentional with walks and treat enrichment. He has great communication. I will definitely use him in the future.”


4. Michelle I.

“Michelle was an absolutely amazing host for 10+ days with my Shiba, who can be finicky and requires daily oral medication for her seizures. Michelle went above and beyond taking care of Pepper. She sent me videos and photos on their walks and constant updates. Very responsive. She even made special accommodations due to me extending my vacation halfway through the original booking. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again and would recommend her to anybody who loves their pet like family.”


5. Christine & Steven T.

“We had a fantastic experience with Christine and Steven! They were generous in setting up a meet and greet as this was our dog’s first time staying with them. They are caring and responsive, and we really appreciated the photos and updates about our pup!”


6. Katherine H.

“Katie took wonderful care of our dog! She was thoughtful and thorough with her communication and approach to ensure Penney, who can be very particular, integrated well with her sweet dog Obie. She sent lots of updates and I felt totally at ease trusting her with Penney’s care. She was very accommodating to changes in my travel plans, and very responsive from the very beginning. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her— thanks Katie!”


7. Natalie B.

“Rocky had a great stay at Natalie’s! He’s a nervous dog, but it was clear he got a lot of love and attention. She even got him a sweet little Christmas present! Truly above and beyond. We highly recommend booking with Natalie.”


8. Sarah & Peter B.

“Sarah and Peter were fantastic hosts for my dog. They gave him lots of attention and treated him as one of their own. I received updates multiple times each day with photos and videos. My dog enjoyed his stay and I would encourage anyone to trust their dog with Sarah and Peter.”


9. Kate M.

“Kate should be everyone’s first choice for their four legged friends! She’s a wonderful, warm, and friendly person which makes leaving your loved ones in her care feel like leaving them with family. My little guy has had day care and boarding with Kate and her pup Major. They always have a great time and Kate is an excellent communicator. She’s flexible and understanding, I couldn’t ask for more in a rover. Thank you so much Kate (and family)!”


10. Lauren S.

“Lauren and Godfrey were amazing!!! This was our first time having Tato boarded and they took such good care of him with plenty of videos and pictures every day we were gone! Their corgi, Sebastian, is such a sweetheart and Tato was so happy to have a playmate. They even helped with some of Tato’s leash training. We 100% happily recommend and will definitely be reaching out to them when we need to board Tato again! ☺️ Thank you both again so much!!!”


11. Maggie S.

“Anita, Ryan, and Fern are seriously the BEST petsitters one can ever ask for. Max (my now 10-month shiba inu) was so happy! He smells better than ever! Anita must be wiping him several times a day :) Also, he is very happy and has a shining coat! looks so healthy and happy.. what more can I ask for! This was the longest time away from my fur baby, more than 3 weeks! but he was in excellent hands! Thank you so much Anita, Ryan, and Fern!! (Fern is Max's stepsister he always wanted)”


16. Lisa M.

“Lisa was great! My dog can get pretty sad and anxious while I’m away and he felt comfortable enough at her house to perk up, chill out and be his happy normal self. She took great care of him and followed his quirky list of directions well! Will definitely try to book her again in the future.”


17. Katherine M.

“Katherine saved me with my last minute booking! She was very responsive and settled my anxieties around having my senior dog with tummy issues. She gave me updates while in my trip and was flexible when my travel plans changed! Your dog is in great hands with Katherine!”




18. Alea K.

“This was my second time having Alea watch my dog. She made sure to communicate daily with pictures and pupdates. She even offered to take him to the vet when there was a medical concern. She’s a great sitter and I will definitely continue to book with her!”


19. Cindy L.

“I couldn’t be happier with Cindy and Evan's care for my dogs! This is my second time leaving them, and their communication, flexibility, and genuine love for my pups give me such peace of mind while I'm away. The frequent updates and photos are the best. I cannot recommend them enough!”


20. Brittany K.

“Brittany was so great with my doggo. She kept me updated on how she was doing and pictures. My pup came home happy (I think even a little sad to leave Brittany!) which really is so nice to know your anxious baby is in such good hands while you're gone!”
