“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”


“Another wonderful stay for Yote! He went for walks, received lots of attention, and observed some wildlife. Daniel & Rachel were extremely accommodating with our 1am pickup time from a midnight plane arrival!”


“Arya was phenomenal with our pup. He was very informative and kept us updated with many videos while on a 10 day vacation. We will absolutely be using him to board our dog for future trips.”


“AMAZING FAMILY. They were such a great choice for my girl. All the updates they sent were so awesome. Let alone you can just see the comfort, happiness & fun in my girl. I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home because she was loving it so much! Ava seemed to fit right in with the pack as well as feel right at home with them. Out of all the Rovers we’ve had this by far has been my favorite! ❤️ 🥰”


“Kelli is such a good person and great animal person. She took really good care of my shih tzu, Bear, for the week I was out of town. I think I was going through separation anxiety and she sent me updates and pictures daily. I highly recommend her to take care of you 4 legged friends!”


“Jan did an excellent job watching my Yorkie Bichon mix! She was a pleasure to meet and the experience of introducing my dog and getting the arrangement set up went really well. She sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. She helped put me at ease with her level of care and attention to detail regarding the entire stay. I would highly recommend Jan as a dog sitter and I definitely will be going back in the future I’m sure!”


“Cassie was great from start to finish! We were leaving on a family vacation for a week and our normal sitter had to cancel last minute. Cassie took our pup in with almost no notice and treated her like a queen! Truly seem like an amazing family, very caring and amazing with animals! Thank you all for taking such good care of our Purdy!”


“Thank you Veronica for the overnight stay for Darby while I was in town for a wedding. You were very welcoming to Darby, and as a pet parent, that made me feel very comfortable that I knew that Darby would be well taken care of. Also, thank you for the pics and video, it was great to see Darby having fun and settling into your home. I’m glad that Darby and your dog Roxie got along so well.”


“I've never left my dog with any one I didn't know before, especially since she gets anxious sometimes around new dogs. But after meeting Melissa leaving my dog was like leaving her with a trusted family member or a close friend. She loved her and the whole family and got along great with the other dogs too. Melissa was in constant communication and was sending tons of pics and videos the whole time which made us laugh and put us at ease that she was doing just fine. My Lily Bear came home tired from playing but also relaxed and not anxious at all. I will definitely be using her again in the future when needed. Thank you Melissa for caring for Lily and putting up with my obsessive, over protective dog parenting concerns lol! You are the Best! :-)”


“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”



“Another great stay for my babies with Mark and Vicky! And when I left one of my fluff ball wasn't feeling well... Mark and Vicky took great care of her, keeping me posted with all the progress, and by the time I was back, she was doing fantastic! Thank you so much for all the love and care! See you soon!”


“We feel so comfortable with Paula and Bill taking care of our Finny. We are very happy we found them and plan to secure them for all of our future needs. Very happy with their communication, photos and daily updates.”


“Taylor took such great care of my little Lola. Her home is so dog friendly, and she has a nice big fenced in back yard for the dogs to run around. I am so happy I found someone I can trust when I travel and can't take Lola with me.”


“I felt Savanna took good care of Felipe. He loves everyone and he is a good dog and that showed when he was with Savanna and her family. Yes I would have him stay with her again. He was taken in his morning walks and they shared videos. Nice home and family. Thank you guys”


“Perfect stay! Susan provides a wonderful, caring home. I appreciate her great communication with frequent updates, nice back yard for playing, and attention to detail. Buddy loved his time with her!”



“Melissa took excellent care of my little Daisy. She had Daisy for 4 days. She calmed my nerves and sent regular updates and pictures. I would absolutely recommend her to care of your fur baby. Melissa and her family are the best.”


“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”
