“Candice was great with Tilley. She has a beautiful & clean home. She sent me pictures daily and informed me of some activities. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with Candice. I will definitely use Candice again. Thank you so much Candice !”
“Barbra took amazing care of my little senior yorkie and he had a blast staying with her. She kept me updated while I was away and sent the cutest pictures. You can tell Barbra cares about animals and wants to make sure they are comfortable during their stay. I 100% recommend her services to anyone who reads this!!”
“Rita took excellent care of my Angelo in her home. He can be slow to warm up to people, but she quickly won him over and they had a great visit! He especially loved relaxing in her yard.”
“The fact that Courtney is a vet was one of the reasons I reached out to see if she was able to watch Sunny for a weekend while I was out of town due to how anxious she can get. Let me tell you, she did not disappoint. During the meet and greet, she asked about emergency vet info and offered her office as an option for urgent but non-emergency situations since I don’t have a primary emergency vet. She was aware of Sunny’s needs while she was there. Courtney also kept great communication and sent lots of videos and pics during her stay. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be booking services with her again when the time comes!”
“Jen and her husband Dan are the best! Jen is always our first choice of pet sitter and we’ve used her multiple times now. You can tell she has such a heart for dogs and is willing to do whatever they need. Our dog has some separation anxiety, but Jen helps to make him feel so comfortable and at home. He loves her!”
“This was our first time using Rover, let alone allowing someone we don’t know watch over our dogs. When we first met Andres, he was very understanding of our concerns of leaving our dogs for the first time. While we were away, he stayed in contact with us and gave us daily updates and sent pictures of our dogs. When we picked them up, both dogs were as happy as can be. We are very happy with how well it went with Andres. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter, especially first-timers! Thanks Andres!!!”
“Everything went well with my dog's overnight stay. She got her walks and Sandra communicated with me throughout her stay with photos. Much appreciated Sandra! Hope to use your services again. Lisa H.”
“Sherry was very communicative, accommodating for an energetic puppy, and went above & beyond with treats! Mila was treated like the princess she is. I appreciated the transparency and patience she provided. I would leave her with Mila again in a heartbeat (and will again soon!).”
“Claudia did an amazing dogsitting job with Peter! She frequently communicated with pictures and videos. She kept him busy and entertained. Peter came home well fed and well rested. I will book with her again!”
“Beth was fantastic!!! My two dogs stayed with her for 5 days, and she treated them like they were her own pets. They had an area all to themselves, so they were comfortable and stress free. Beth sent me photos, videos and text updates everyday. Cannot wait to use her again!!”
“You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.”
“Andrea and her family were amazing with our family pet Tank. In addition to detailed updates on eating and drinking, she made sure he had his meds which are crucial to his health. We were so worried about leaving our pet for a week but Andrea made sure to comfort us every day that things were fine. We simply can’t thank her enough for the opportunity to see our beloved grandchildren whom all live miles away. Thank you so very much!”
“All the hype about Dante is true! He’s communicative, accommodating, and really great energy. He asks a lot of questions to ensure my Kado was well taken care of. Dante is someone who truly loves what he does and that makes me happy. I think Kado and I found a permanent sitter until Dante retires us lol”
“Lindsey did a fantastic job caring for our 6 month old pup. She communicated a minimum of 2x per day and always provided pictures with each communication. We will definitely be using Lindsey again in the future.”
“Rackeem came in clutch when we needed a last-minute sitter for our little girl Piper over the Thanksgiving holiday! He took great care of her at his home, sent plenty of photos and updates daily, and was super flexible when it came to drop-off and pickup days and times. 10/10 would absolutely leave our little girl with him again!”
“Amber was absolutely wonderful with Nala! She took such great care of her, and Nala had the best time playing and getting lots of love. You can tell Amber really knows how to make dogs feel at home. We would definitely book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Chelsea was a great she took excellent care of our dog. Sent us regular pictures and videos. We would definitely use her again. Chito seem to enjoy his time there very much.”
