“The perfect dog sitters. I was skeptical of the app and leaving my pup for the first time but Kevin and Roselie were amazing. Duke was well taken care of and I even got picture updates throughout the day. Duke loved them and they loved Duke. Would definitely board with them again!! Such a nice family.”

“I was nervous to use Rover for our dog, as I met another sitter previously and didn’t feel confident and didn’t leave my dog there. With Sharon, we did a meet and greet and were welcomed inside to see where our dog would stay which was great! While we were gone for 5 days- Sharon would send videos and pictures of our dog having fun at her house. Sharon also has the warmest energy and really cares for all the animals she has and watches. We are so happy we found someone to watch our dog whenever we need a sitter :-)”

“We had a great experience boarding our dog, Mel, with Maria! We planned a meet and greet to see how Mel got along with her two dogs, and then made arrangements for the weekend we would be out of town. Maria responded quickly to our messages, and sent us lots of pictures of Mel, including her playing in the backyard and cuddling on the couch. These pictures put us at ease, and we could tell Mel was having a great time!”

“Our dog had a great time with Yaritza. She even wrapped his Christmas toys for us for him to open Christmas morning! He wasn’t stressed or unhappy when we came to pick him up which he can be an emotional dog and seem really worn out after a stay at someone else’s how’s while I’m out of town. But not with her! I will definitely be in touch with her as a sitter in the future and would recommend to friends. Thanks Yaritza for taking care of our guy!”

Joyce is the best! Our puppy Henry is super energetic and she was able to manage both him and another puppy at the same time no problem! Joyce did a great job keeping us updated and we could tell he got lots of cuddles & playtime which made us feel so much better about leaving him! We will absolutely use her to watch Henry again!
Stacie and Doug were amazing. My dog has several medications she needs to take throughout the day and she is older. They were wonderful about keeping me updated on her stay with them. It really gave me peace of mind as I was on vacation. I will be booking with them again soon …highly recommend Stacie and Doug.
Megan was beyond amazing and took such good care of Archie while we were visiting Cleveland! I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience with Megan! She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures which was so appreciated. Archie received so much love and attention from Megan and the whole family. It was so reassuring to know Archie was in excellent hands. We stayed in downtown Cleveland and it was a quick ride to Megan's house. Also, Archie is a nervous senior dog and he was clearly relaxed and comfortable with Megan and her family. Archie will absolutely be staying with Megan when we visit Cleveland again. Thank you, Megan!
