Shawn was wonderful! She kept me updated throughout the entire stay. My pups were very comfortable and happy during their stay. I would choose Shawn every time to watch my pups, they had an amazing time! I didn’t have to worry about my dogs once while they were in Shawn’s care!

Thanks & praise to Donna for taking such great care of my rambunctious 2 year old yorkie spaniel mix, Murphy. The pictures she sent showed my contented boy making himself at home.

After a good meet and greet, we used Penny and Evan for our first ever Rover experience with our dog, Libby. She is a sweet, high energy dog. Penny and Evan had a fun week with her. We appreciated the picture updates and knew she was well taken care of throughout the week! Thank you!

She is someone who is incredibly devoted to animals; her dedication and love are boundless. I had the absolute best experience knowing that Mia was staying in a home filled with plenty of attention, patience, and love. Karlie is always in constant communication, too. She has dogs of her own, and they truly made Mia's stay much more fun, as Mia is super friendly. Mia returned home ready to sleep and rest after days filled with fun and endless running around—in fact, she didn't even want to leave, given how wonderfully she had been treated at Karlie's house!

Rebecca is an amazing dog sitter and I highly recommend her! I have an elderly dog who needs medication and she took such great care of him. She was so gentle with him and kind. She took a ton of pictures of him to keep me updated and always responded back to me very quickly. I will definitely contact her again for pup sitting and will recommend her to friends and family. Thank you so much Rebecca! 🥰💗

Theresa took excellent care of Lucy. Very happy with our experience and would totally have our dog stay there again. She was enthusiastic of a meet in greet, wanted to learn about our dog, accommodated refrigerated food, very communicative throughout the stay, and Lucy seemed very happy there! Thanks so much, Theresa!

Cheryle and Henry were undeniably the BEST dogsitters we’ve ever used. They cared for our little Sophie like she was their own. Sophie doesn’t eat much whenever we are gone, but this was the first time she actually ate her food. That told us that she was comfortable with them. They sent us photos so we could see how she was doing along with daily text updates. We are so grateful to them for loving and caring for our sweet Sophie. We look forward to using them again.

Sofia is awesome! Right away you can tell she is a dog lover. She took great care of our dog- walked her and played with her, and sent us pictures and updates. Our pup can be slow to warm up to people, but we can see she clearly felt very safe and comfortable with Sofia.
