“Nikki was wonderful! She was so caring and helpful with our dogs. Her responses were quick and helpful. She took our last minute request and picked them up when something changed in our schedule and we weren’t able to bring them ourselves. We would definitely (and hope to) book Nikki again!”
“Ariane and her family did a wonderful job at watching my dog, Livie, over the winter holiday! They played fetch with Livie both outside in their large fenced in yard as well as inside with their two sweet rescue dogs. I got the sense that my dog felt very much at home in their care and they were able to consistently administer her two medications as well. When I picked Livie up she was happy and kept running back to Ariane to say goodbye at the end of her trip to give kisses! We will definitely be back for more stays at this loving home. Thank you, Ari!”
“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”
“Lindsay is very welcoming and kind. She is experienced caring for dogs and even fosters dogs who need temporary homes. She sent updates and pictures, and our dog returned home happy and healthy after a week in her care.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Katherine helped me through it! She sent updates and photos at the right cadence while I was away. We both agreed that a space with a yard would be a better fit for my husky mix if I should use Rover again, as he needs a lot of more intense activity. One small note is that my dog was barking at her cat during the stay, and there didn't really seem to be a way to keep them separated. He does well with my cat, but I guess not necessarily new cats! So just something to keep in mind that if your dog really does need to be separated from a cat, it's not the right space.”
“Gienna is probably the best sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. She was so kind with Bella and spoiled and loved her. She sent me pictures every day and it was so easy to see that Bella was having fun and being loved. Her love of animals is so apparent. Thank you Gienna. I will keep in touch.”
“Lori was ABSOLUTELY incredible. She saved me from a very last minute pickle, and I’m so glad so was able to babysit my Ollie so last minute. I got daily updates and pictures, as well as such amazing assurance that Ollie would be getting both his pills had his much-hated ear drops. I came back from the weekend and his ear infection was almost completely gone! And he was POOPED! A true testament to what a great time he had. Definitely recommend!”
“Natasha and Jonathan make our dog feel right at home! Our dog is usually timid when we drop her off at dog sitters, but after the first visit she was excited to see them and seemed very comfortable with them. They provided lots of updates and photos and were always prompt on answering my messages. I’m excited that we found a dog sitter that our dog is happy and we feel peace of mind leaving her!”
“Andre was great with Luna ! Kept great contact with videos. She was walked for hours a day. When I picked her up she ate and crashed out. She was clearly tired. I will definitely use Andre again!!!🐆”
“We recently left our dog with Felicia for a few days while we traveled abroad, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we picked him up, it was clear he had a fantastic time - he came back happy, well cared for, and full of energy, like he’d just returned from a fun camping trip! It even seemed like he made a few new friends during his stay, which is such a comfort to us as dog parents. Knowing he was in such a warm, welcoming environment made our trip so much easier. Felicia clearly has a way with dogs, and her care and attention really show. We’re beyond pleased with the service and wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing, took such good care of our dog Tilly and constantly updated us. Super friendly. We were nervous at first but it was a really good first experience !”
“Freddi took outstanding care of Penny!!! She has an idyllic setup for hosting and provided Penny a cozy and comfortable stay while we were out of town. We loved the photos Freddi sent every day - Penny was clearly right at home! Would definitely book again.”
“This is the second time AnnMarie cared for our little guy Diego, and he was in great hands again. AnnMarie and her daughter are very loving with him. I usually don't feel comfortable leaving him with someone, but they were great!”
“Jennifer was great! She was responsive and easy to communicate with and provided updates and pictures during the stay. Her dogs were friendly and playful and seemed to get along well with our dog. I'm sure we will use her again the next time we need help with watching him.”
