Right when we walked in Wilbur sniffed out the toys and bully sticks! Cynthia kept us updates with pictures and videos of Wilbur running around and playing in the yard all weekend.

Serius absolutely loved his first time going to a doggy babysitter. He was a stressed out neurotic mess for 2 weeks before we found Cassandra. He came home so much calmer, and happy. This will become a regular part of his routine now, so he can get out of the house, and socialize a little more.

Jenevieve was amazing! She accepted my request last minute when my other dog sitter fell through. She sent so many photos and updates throughout the weekend which made me feel so good about leaving Dolly for the weekend. Dolly also came back freshly bathed and with a little surprise in her kennel ❤️🥲

Robbie and her family were amazing with Tripper! They took excellent care of him while we were away and he was so comfortable with them. We are looking forward to more playdates and sleepovers with Buttercup in the future.

Maricela was awesome with easing in Sami into her home, giving her space to get used to the new environment. She sent pictures daily and was always incredibly responsive in both the inquiry and once booked. She accommodated our requests and was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend Maricela if you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own!

She went above and beyond to accomodate our delayed flight. So very sorry, Andrea. Will definitely book again when we are in the area. Highly recommend Andrea!

My doodles had such a great time with Meagan in her home! She has a gorgeous spacious backyard for them to run and play in, which they LOVE. My boys always sleep great the night I pick them up, so I know they wore themselves out having fun! I’ll definitely keep using Meagan as a sitter when I’m out of town 🙂

Alice was fabulous!! She sent photos and a video and updates as to how our pupster was doing. We felt confident that she was in very good hands. Our dog is usually anxious around other dogs but she warmed up quickly to Alice’s little frenchie and they even had some play time. We will use her again if we need this service in the future.

Morgan did such an amazing job of taking care of our pup. This was our first time using Rover and leaving her with a non-family member, so we were a bit nervous but Morgan immediately put us at ease. She was so thoughtful, caring, and attentive. Bella stayed with Morgan for a week and we were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing she was in the best hands possible being well taken care of and spoiled while we were away. We would recommend Morgan to anyone without the slightest hesitation and will absolutely trust Morgan to care for Bella during future vacations! Thank you again, Morgan!

Casandra goes above and beyond to take good care of Ransome. She checks in every day to let me know how he’s doing. This time she gave extra care when he wasn’t feeling well. I know that I can trust her and that gives this pet mom a great sense of relief when I need to be away from my boy.

Kevin is simply the best! We have known him for two years and he does a wonderful job every time. He is the type of person that all dogs love and can relax around. Kevin’s communication before, during, and after stays is awesome; I’m able to relax and know things are going well while we’re away. I’d recommend Kevin to anyone and everyone!
