1. Shannon L.
“Shannon is a great sitter! She kept in contact with us, also sent us pictures on how she was doing. Thanks for taking care of Bella and showing her so much love!”
2. Samantha A.
“Samantha continues to be my #1 go to sitter. She sends so many updates and truly cares for the pups while I’m away. Can not recommend enough!!”
3. Emily M.
“Emily is simply the best!!!! Our dog loves going to Emily's house. It's obvious that YaYa really enjoys her time there and is so well cared for!!”
4. Henry & Cheryle B.
“Henry and Cherlye Ann were amazing sitters! I felt good as soon as we shock hands in their beautiful vegetable garden (thanks for the rosemary and basil sprigs!) Penny was immediately comfortable and settled right in. They were very responsive and kept me up to date on Penny’s stay. HIGHLY RECOMMEND as sitters; it was very comforting to know they only take on one dog at a time as Penny can be wary of new dogs in close quarters. I know Penny will be back…and honestly, she didn’t seem too keen to leave!”
5. Marah B.
“Marah was great! She made me feel at ease about leaving Mattie with her as soon as I met her. Mattie had at least 8 other dogs to play with in a HUGE backyard! When I picked her up, she was exhausted and surprisingly didn’t need a bath...which is not the case when I’ve had to kennel her in the past. It’s nice to know that when we go out of town, there’s a place where I can take Mattie that I know she’ll enjoy!”
6. John R.
“Fantastic! John was great with communication before and throughout Manny’s stay. Made sure I was comfortable leaving my baby boy and sent me photos every day. Manny seemed right at home with him, and I was at ease. Thank you so much for caring for my boy!”
7. Paula B.
“Paula is absolutely wonderful! We couldn't have left our fur baby in better hands. She cared for him flawlessly, provided lots of snuggles and love, and gave us regular update with photos. We will definitely be using her again as our pet's home away from home!”
8. Melissa H.
“Melissa was amazing, super patient. I have an older rescue who was very nervous(first time this ever happened) and Melissa was so patient with her and just gave her time and space. My dogs were loving her and her family. She sent plenty of pics and daily updates. highly recommended.”
9. Crystal H.
“Maus came back a happy and healthy girl. Crystal worked with me on last minute date changes and made a difficult time so much easier for me. Very quick to respond and lots of pictures”
10. Erin & Matthew K.
“Erin and Mathew are great! They took Lily as their own and I could tell for the pictures that Lily felt at home. We will definitely book with them again.”
11. Samantha A.
“Samantha is wonderful! I almost hate to tell everyone that because I don't want her to get so busy she can't watch my pup, but she is really very good! :-)”
12. Kimberly L.
“Kimberly was great with Oscar! She had plenty of space for him to play outside often, kept us frequently updated on how he was doing, how he was eating- everything to keep us informed and know he was well. She even gifted him a care package with treats and toys to take home. We will be reaching out to Kimberly again for care!”
13. Donna B.
“Donna is amazing! She takes wonderful care of our Millie—-treats her like her own, is super communicative, and is always flexible. We will be back again!”
14. Jessica M.
“Jessica and her family were great! They were able to watch Lola last minute while I had to work. They were very accommodating and responded back in a timely manner. Would def recommend and use again.”
15. Rebecca F.
“Zeke had a wonderful stay with Rebecca! He was well cared for and comfortable being there. She took awesome care of him and I felt really good about him staying there. She kept me updated with pictures and notes. I will be using her services again!”
16. Lawdy L.
“Lawdy was great to work with! She watched our two dogs for almost a full week, after being asked very last minute, and she gave them the love and attention they needed while she had them. We also had our return flight canceled because of the Microsoft crash (July 2024) and we needed to get home, so we rented a car to drive home instead. It took us an unexpected extra day to get home to pick up our fur-babies, and she made it so easy and stress-free. We would definitely recommend Lawdy for your dogs. 💕”
17. Charlotte D.
“Our dog Dallas couldn't have been more happy and well taken care of during his stay. He's a wild energetic hound and had a blast playing with her dog. He came home happy and exhausted. Charlotte updated me regularly during his stay so I was always at ease knowing he was having a great time! I will absolutely use her again!”
18. Taylor D.
“Taylor was a fantastic sitter for Oslo. I received updates and pictures, and did not have to worry when he was with her. I will be leaving Oslo with Taylor in the future, and recommend her to anybody in Roanoke looking for a Rover.”
19. Ashley S.
“WOW!!! We used Ashley and Jonathan this weekend for our lab who has never been boarded or stayed with anyone other than friends. I immediately felt at ease when I dropped our dog off and Ashley slowly introduced each of the dogs to our dog individually. They are all so well behaved and Bella had a blast! They also sent us updates and pics daily. I wish there was a higher rating than 5 ⭐️ because Ashley and Jonathan are top notch! We will definitely be using them again.”
20. Richard & Kelly V.
“My fiancé and I went on a 5 day vacation out of town and our pup seemed to have such a great time with Richard & Kelly. I got updates, pictures and quick responses! He was very professional and has great reasonable prices. You can tell he is very experienced and I would send my pup to him any time I need to. 5/5 stars and 100% recommended.”
