“Heather took great care of my dog. She loved being there and I appreciated her taking pics of my dog while I was away. Will definitely use her again when needed. 😊”


“Josh took great care of my pup. This was my first time leaving her with an individual that wasn’t family. She’s a little apprehensive around strangers and other dogs but Josh is patient and makes sure the dogs are comfortable. It’s obvious he has a heart for dogs. He communicates well and is accommodating for drop off and pick times. He also provided frequent updates throughout her stay with him. He will be my “go to” for future boarding services.”


“we are so glad we found Beth M! our dog Tuko loves her and so do we. great person, excellent communicator! Beth takes your pet into her home with her own and her family. we have not enough words to recommend Mrs. Beth M. Great sitter.”


“Absolutely the best. I was nervous about leaving my dog with anyone but family...but his energy is too much for my elderly parents. I lined up a couple of kennels, but was really looking for that loving family type atmosphere. We found it with Lori! She was patient with my indecisiveness and even allowed a play date in advance of his overnight boarding. He loves her, her dogs, her family, and has made great friends with the other dogs in her care. Photos and videos were sent to us throughout his stay making me feel even more at ease and happy with our decision. Can't recommend and thank her enough!!”


“Elizabeth and Phil were awesome pet hosts and took such good care of our two dogs. They were super communicative and sent pictures of their adventures on walks and at the dog park. Would highly recommend!!”


“Leah did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. She sent many fabulous photos and I could tell everything was going great. We will definitely be booking with Leah again!”


“Grace was extremely professionally and came with the experience/background to give us peace of mind leaving our pupper to stay with her. She would respond promptly to any messages and would send photos/videos. She also has several other dogs and cats which worked to help better socialize our dog as well. All of these factors make it easy to recommend her to anyone, and we’ll definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Shelby was incredibly flexible and responded quickly when we needed someone to watch our pups for a last minute funeral. We will definitely use her again.”

“I’m a first time dog owner and this was the first time I had to leave him behind for a trip. Stephanie put all of my worries at ease and provided exceptional care for my pup, Oscar. Our meet and greet went great and Oscar was so excited when we pulled into her driveway for the actual drop-off. Stephanie was very understanding of typical puppy things, sent plenty of photos and videos, which was greatly appreciated, and Oscar was happy and healthy when I collected him. I will absolutely reach out to Stephanie when I need services again.”


“Berry and Benjamin were great with my Lucy. They were very caring and welcoming upon arrival. We got updates and pictures every day. I would definitely book with them again and recommend others to book with them as well.”


“Liam is the best! He treats our pup like his own and Teddy has so much fun with Liam and Louie! So glad we got connected and will definitely use him again. Highly recommend!!”


“Ciara is fantastic! I am always a little worried using a new Rover sitter, but my worries quickly disappeared. Ciara was friendly and very responsive, sent plenty of updates and pictures, and helped me feel reassured my pup was taken care of. Will definitely contact her again!”


“Valerie was the best! I had never left Cleo for very long, but this a great experience! Cleopatra was excited to meet her and a blast while she was with her. I received photos of my baby and she looked so happy! I don't vacation much, but Valerie is the choice for my pup!”



“Christina (and her partner) took care of my pup just as I would have. I received pictures and updates regularly. I felt comfortable with enjoying my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of!”
